London Views
Crisis in
Rome Sectors

LONDON, Feb. 10. CUP)-Military
observers said Thursday that the
battle of the beachhead below Rome
is passing through a crisis which
the allies probably will be able to
weather.
Some ground has been lost and
the Germans are attacking inces-
sanity, but military quarters did
not think the beachhead would be
lost.
Commentators agreed that the
allied invasion had failed in its
initial purpose, but might be con-
verted into a success in the long
run.
1t was a failure because it did
not throw the Germans into con-
fusion and force heavy Withdrawals
from the main Fifth army from.
Such Withdrawals could have weak
ened the Gustav line enough to
enable the allies to smash through
to a quick junction with the beach,
head forces and capture Rome with
in a few days.
1t may become a success because
Marshal Albert Kesselring ordered
four divisions or so down from the
north to meet it-a decision no
German general could have made
lightly in these days of strained
manpoWer.

an assault arc on the Ukrainian
mining center of Krivoi Rog Thurs
day and sweeping through or against
the Baltic states on a broad front.
(The German high command re-
ported powerful Russian offensives
in eight separate areas of the Soviet
front, which appeared to be ablaze

verses in some sectors and claiming
! defensive successes in others, the
Germans said their troops fell back
along the 1C0-mile front below Lake

The heaviest fighting was in the
Ukraine. where four Russian armies
battered back the staggered German

National Service Act

WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.
(UP)-Rear Admiral En-
ory S. Land, chairman OF
the maritime commission, told the
senate military affairs committee
Thursday that national service
act would reduce labor turnover IN
the shipyards-a manpower prob
lem in part responsible for a sharp
falling off of ship deliveries in
January.
Land revealed that while COM
mission yards delivered 208 ships
in December, January deliveries fell
to 1874.
There are not enough expert
enced workers to maintain 1914
schedules if the turnover continues
at the present high rate" he warn
ed.
Testifying in behalf of the Wads-
worth Austin labor draft bill, he
said the January ship deliveries
were the lowest since February,
l943.
This involves much more than
manpower difficulties" he explain
ed. But all the same the decline,
taking into consideration the other
circumstances, was sharper than
there was reason to expect"
Land said that drop in produc-
tion had been expected due to

Patterson said the allies had been
forced to give up a small amount of
ground under the pressure of viol-
ent attacks paced by large numbers
of tanks.
VIOLENT ATTACKS
THE Germans have launched
violent counterattacks which were
to have been expected upon our
beachhead below Rome Patterson
said.
He said, however, that allied
troops have beaten back enemy at
tacks and taken enemy prisoners.
The Germans took advantage of
bad weather, including rain and
high winds which interferred with
allied shipping and aerial suprema-
cy, Patterson said.
The enemy threat is not to be
minimized," he continued. THE
Germans are opposing our beach
mead with formidable force,
drawn partly from reserves behind
the main southern front, to a lesser
extent from the Rome area, and
partly from northern Italy.
USE ARTILLERY
They have also brought up tanks
and quantity of artillery. Even
