has another sashay at the flicker folk For surefire publicity, ace cusing movie stars of ANYTHING is like shooting ducks in a rain bar- rel. So Dies put the finger on Gag ney and some others, and fed on the headlines. The movie tycoons, easy to scare, played his game The whole matter blew up smack in Dies face, but that never trou- bled the Texan. His speciality is making charges - confident that enough Of the press is anti-Admin- istration and will go to town for him.
 It is hard to agree with many Washinetonians that Dies is dumb. They claim he is hoodwinked by his Investigators, but I can't go along with that easy judgment. allow Dies Is a smart hombre. If he weren't how could he get so far on nothing2 As a statesman he is of course, questionable. But as a headline hustler he's as gifted as Broadway Rose. He has found his ginmick. which is to make a loud outcry to cover up the sad truth that he is accomplishing nothing worth while. It's good demagoging- but hopeless as stateSmanship Which is okay with Dies in Texas.

Ill the case of the visit to Mon- terrey last Spring, the people oi that Mexican city, where the chief executive met President Avila On. macho of Mexico, were not told Of his visit until q few hours before he arrived. Local radio stations and newspapers spread the word rapid" ly as soon as the secret service gave It's approval. Despite the short notice, a big crowd lined the streets when the two presidents made their motor trip to the governors palace.
 A similar plan might be followed this year should the president de- eide to make m active campaign. There would be little or no advance public knowledge of his presence in any given city and the news could be spread after his arrival with no hint whatever as to what the next point on his itinerary would be.
 Even this system of halfway secrecy would be a marked depart. ure from the restrictions that have governed public announcement to his travels since Pearl Harbor. As It is now, and under the code of vol- untary press and radio censorship, nothing can be said about Mir. Roos" evelt's whereabouts or travels un- less the White House 50 announces
 Political candidates however, rc. quire intimate contact with the electorate and 1t thus appears log ical to expect MT. Roosevelt-if he is q candidate again-to campaign primarily through loudspeakers.
 This type of campaign would ei1l- pfasize the responsibilities Of a wartime coinmander-in -chief whose duties are too pressing to permit an old-time stump tour.
 MT. Roosevelt definitely is spend- ing more and more time with the war His daily schedule of callers now starts one or two hours later than 1t did before Pearl Harbor be- cause every morning he spends c lot of time examining war maps and overnight dispatches from the fight- ing fronts md in consultation with Admiral William D. Leahy, his per- sonal chief-of-Staff.
 When the president travels now and his long trips are rare--he is in constant touch with Washing ton. Dispatches and up-to-the- -min- ute war developments are put be- fore him almost as rapidly as if he were in Washington.

to achieve that goal. the spokesman said, and neither Hitler nor lead- CTS of foreign policy are sitting with arms crossed, but work relentlessly for this task"
 (The German Transkontinent Agency, in dispatch intercepted by the U. s. foreign broadcast intelli- gence service, said Berlin in the next few days would give further important and significant details about this complex intensification of activity in the southeast European staets.")
 The spokesman's remarks indi- cated that Germany also may have been influenced in occupying Hun gary by the factt hat the Russian Army now was approaching the Car pathian mountains on Hungary,s northeastern border, behind which the Germans may be planning to make q stand. One of the main invasion routes into Germany from the southeast also lies through Hungary.

 Allied military government offic- ials under It. Col. Alvan 0. Kin- kaid set Up emergency headquarters at Tore Del Greco near the foot of the mountain and directed the removal of the 5000 residents to San sebastiano and 600 of Massa Dt Somma.
 Through the night U. s. Army vehicles tore up and down the deep- ly-rutted and precipitoiis mountain road to evacuate the villagers.
 Officials of the Italian Royal ob- serVatory said the flows had reached the proportion of the 1872 eruption, worst of modern times, and added that they saw no signs of an early glackening.
 The crest of the flows rumbied in waves sometimes as high as 50 feet, giving off SulphurouS fumes and spraying chunks of fiery lava that ignited everything within reach.
 At dusk last night the threaten cd villagers held the traditional ceremony beseeching deliverancc from disaster. Statues of Virgins and other Saints were taken from the small churches and carried in parades as n0rchers chanted pray- CTS.

Field reports said the Germans were relying on Rumanian divisions to cover their retreat at many points. Two Rumanian divisions with German Stiffening elements were charged with the defense Of Mog!lev. Podoiski. There on the cl- bow of the Dniestr tho Russians fointcd attacks in several directions, threw the defenders of balance, seized the river bridge and made 1t possible to sweep on Into BesSarabia without loss of momentum.
 Soviet forceg were reported streaming acroSg the DnieSter at many crossings, despite increasing resistance by the German air force.
 Front dispatches said that ii the capture of VinntiRG q special Ger. man artillery regiment diStinguesh- cd for being shifted to whatever hottest spot the front afforded was entirely wiped out.

Front dIg- patches said there still was no sign of German preparations to rally for Q stand, either northeast of the Prut or along the river itself.
 In one sector two RumaniAn iYl- fantry divisions were overwhelmed and q large number of prisoners taken.

 Tho convoy, consisting of three transports, five Belf-l,ropelied bargcs, eight high"gpeed landing bafges and eight patrol boats, was attacked three times by planes Of the Black eoa fleet. Tho ships sunk included one of the three transports.

Allied Air Strategy

shock of the explosions miles away.
 Never once did I see the American and British bombers driven off their ohjectives. I saw some of them drop out of the skies in flames. I also saw German fighters crash.
 The Germans know now that Ger many was caught short on her air defenses. Fuehrer Adalf Hitler be- lieved the boast of his pompous Air Reichsmarshal Herman Goering taht the Allies never would overtake the lead his luftwaffe had estab- lished at the beginning of the war.
 GOering Boast
 They know that Goering's boast that he had erected curtain of steel - an impenetrable barrier of arti-aircraft guns to protect tho homeland was merely so much talk. Ninety per cent of the Allied bomb- CTS shot down during the past year were hit over the target by local defense batteries and nighfighters The curtain is myth.
 All Germany and western Europe Is a network of signal alarms, ac- cording to German publications. Listening apparatus picks up the sound of invaders, often when the engines arc only being warmed up on their home fields iil England. Radio teletypes flash the alarm to all Germany.
 When the direction Of the raid be- comes apparent, the system operates in zones 100 mile square. Zones in the expected patch are given five star alarm. Those nearby get a three-star alarm to stand by for q possible change in the direction of the Allied flight.
 That system enabled the Nazis to inflict fairly heavy losses as long as the Americans and British flew directly to their target. The course was plotted on the big electrical board at Berlin CLIO and fighters were sent up along the line of ex- pected course.
 Naxis Upset
 But the rfethodlcal Germans were upset when the Allies began to cut zig gag courses. If the Allies in- tended going to Berlin they would head for Cologne, send off q few dummy raiders to attack Cassel or Mannheim. then bolt for Leipzig. When the Germans shifted all their defenses toward Leipzig, the Allies turne dleft and raced for Berlin. Ten or more cities have been hit in feinting attacks while the main body of bornbers reached Berlin comparatively unopposed.
 Another Allied trick to fool the gunners setting antiaircraft shell fuses down below near the coast line Is to send over waves of planes at different attitudes. Each wave shifts altitude frequently.
 On one occasion, the Germans, convinced that Berlin was the tar- get, called for Leipzig to hurry over all available fire apparatus as swift ly as possible. The Leipzig firemen were hell-bcnt for Berlin when the Allied planes shifted course and set Leipzig aflame.
 Goering's defensemen were left trying to shift all directions at once like overweight football players try. ing to intercept q shifty halfback Tn an open football field.

 Wilson told police that he stole an automobile last Tuesday, picked Up girl in Medford, drove her to Winchester, attacked and beat her and tossed her body into a gully.
 The spot which Wilson designated as the scene was at the base of Q 50-foot embankment near the Wedgemere station of the Boston and Maine railroad. Deeply drifted snow hampered the search, and even with the defendants aid. po- lice were unable to find & body. Winchester police said they would continue the hunt throughout the day, however.
 A woman resident of the neigh borhood reported to police that shortly before yesterdays snow- storm, she saw a woinan'S blue hat near the spot where Wilson said the body would be found.
 Police at first believed that the victim might be Mrs. Margaret Lloyd, q. mother of two children who was reported missing the day after Wilson said he picked up the girl at bus stop. The bus stop is near Mrs. Lloyd's Medford home.
 However, police virtually elimi- mated her aS possible murder vic- tim because Boston photographer reported that yesterday she visited his studio to obtain some proofs.
 Investigators theorized that there may have been no staying in Wins chester. They believed Wilson might have taken . girl to the spot that he designated, raped her and pushed her over ail embankInent, as he had confessed, but that she escaped and decided not to report the attack to police.
 Lending substance to wilson's story was the fact that Mrs. Mar. garet Lloyd, 2l, Medford mother Of two children, had been missing since the day after he picked Up the un' identified girl. Moreover, Mrs Lloyds home Is near the Winthrop Square section of Medford where, Wilson said, he came upon the girl waiting at a bus stop.
 Wilson's latest confession came while police were questioning him about the sex-slaying Of Miss Fran- ces Cochran. 19-year old bookkeeper whose battered body was found in Lynn woods In July l04l. Previously Wilson had admitted killing Mrs. Mckinley and Mrs. Mary Belle Han. son, 40, of the south end, and con- fessed to helping his friend Samuel L. Gilmore, 8, dispose of the body of Mrs. Alice D. Sheridan, 46, eS- tranged wife of New York police- man.
 Shows Spot
 Taken in q police car through a driving snowstorm last night, Wilson showed police the spot where, he said, he throw the girls body from the stolen car in which they were riding.
 T don't know whether she was dead or not" police quoted him. T wanted to get that hot car back to where I took 1t in Charlestown be- fore the shift changed at the Navy yard"
 The search for the alleged victims body was impeded by snow drifts Of from four to six feet.
 T had been drinking in e tavern and had a couple of bangs out of 'reefers' and I decided to go for Q ride" Wilson was said to have told police. T clipped this parked car and stopped to pick up this girl who was waiting for bus or son,e- thing. I got out past some lakes. stopped the car, and made 0 pass at her. She fought me off and ] finally threw her out of the car. After I knocked her down, she just lay there, 50 I beat 1t in the car."

 Official Information reaching headquarters traced the strong Ger man stand to the existence of q hitherto-uilsuSpected tunnel rum ming from the Roman ainphitheater almost three-quarters of 0 mile southwest of Casino.
 German panZer grenadlers, 1t was revealed, have been slipping through the tunnel into Casino under the guns of the uflSuspecting Allies to bolster the band of paratroopers who had been holding the south- western end of the town since the record Allied aerial and artillery bombardment last Wednesday.
 Almost 200 paratroopers, who had boasted they would stay in Casino Indefinitely" quit when the MaorIs broke into the Continental hotel yesterday, but 1t was indicated that the NaN resistance had stiffened imrneasurably with the arrival of the grenadiers.
 On the slopes of Mount Casino, overlooking the town, German troops still held onto ono of the heights they won back in their counter attack Sunday, and 1t was disclosed that the Nazis were using dry watercourse northeast and north of the wrecked Benedictine monastery as a passage for reinforcements. Night Actions
 Three miles southwest of CaSsiiio, Allied and German combat patrols fought Q savage night action near San Angelo, while both sides ex- changed thunderouS artillery fire across the lower darigliano valley on the western flank of the main 9th Army line.
 The battle of the AIiEia beach, head to the north continued stale. mated, although long.range German and Allied cannon duelled contitlu- ally.
 British combat patrols, supported by heavy shellflre. made two Suc- cesSful raids on the German lines along the western end of the beach, head early Sunday and withdrew after inflicting heavy casualties.
 German fighter. .hoYnberS ate tempted q heavy attack on the Anzio port area early Monday, but they were fought off by patrolling Allied Spitfire pilots who send four of the Nazi planes crashing in flames. Patrol Clashes On the long.dormart British 9th Army front, violent patrol clashes were reported throughout the day and night. Repeated Bkirmishes were fought in the Ortona sector and around Tollo. where Allied artil- lery and machine gun fire blasted 0 number of enemy positions.
 American Marauder and Mitchell medium bombers again paced the Allied aerial assault. The Marotid. erB centered their attacks on the west coast ports into which German blockade f1iniiers have been attempt. ing to run supplies from southern France, hitting dock Installations ct piombtno and Porto Ercole and c railway bridge ct Poegibonsl.
 The Mitchells struck heavily at railway hottleneck points on the Florence. Rome line, hitting the Orvieto and Terni railway yards. Harbor installation at San Stefano also came under tt.e Michells' bomb. sights.

Conceding that the Japanese have increased their skill in nti.Submar- inc operations, Knox added that on the other hand the skill of our sub- marines also has improved at per- haps a relatively greater pace. Fur thermore, he pointed out, we have q larger number of submarines in the Pacific for the enemy to shoot at.
 Discussing other activities in the Pacific, Knox said that during the last week action was limited largely to air attacks on Japanese installa. tons both in the Kuriles and in the central Pacific. The significance Of these operations is that they were attended by very little enemy air re. sistance.
 Our planes attack where they please" he said, indicating weak. ness in enemy air power or a policy to conserve planes for possible fu- ture lise."
 Last week, he said, enemy barges were destroyed at the rate Of 10 a day.
