The Japs must have been surprised

But whatever success our forces

that Americans have been able to

 Freezing rains swamped Allied and German troops alike on the beach, head and on the main 5th Army front to the south, flooding river beds and ravines and making the terrain all but impossible. Across the Italian boot. the British 9th Army's front also was begged down under rain and heavy snows.
 Allied troops were reported on the attack inside Casino for the first time in weeks. although 1t was iIl- dicated the thrust was on a rel atively minor scale.
 German units, still reported hold ing about two-thirds of the ruined town, answered to the Allied thrustS with heavy mortar and machine gun fire, and headquarters spokesmen said the Nazis hurled grenades wild ly in the apparent belief that a major attack was in progress.

 Throughout last night. hundreds of Nazi troopers erected miniature pillboxes on the street corners while other soldiers mounted guard around factory buildings to prevent any at- tempt to sabotage the plants, re- ports reaching this frontier town said.
 The strike has paralyyed indus trial production throughout Ger man occupied Italy for the past week, and the NaziS appeared ready to take ruthless action to end 1t.
