Rising Enemy Power

Rising Enemy ROVER .
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al.
giers, Feb. 10.-tR-Superior Ger
man forces slashed with rising
power at the entire 30-mile peri
meter of the Allied beachhead
near Rome in the past "a h0ars,
probing for a weak point against
which they might throw men and
armor in an about assault on
American and British troops who
have been fighting almost continu.
ously for 16 days.
The violence of Nazi artillery
fire was increasing, and dispatch
es said advanc d Allied forces
were being supplied only at great
risk. Even though the Allied air
force struck with overwhelming
power at the enemy's immediate
communications, with fighters op-
Grating from an improvised land
ing strip on the beachhead itself.
the Germans still appeared to be
massing reinforcements of men
and tanks.
SIN order to try to give the
blitzed and war weary German
people their first big victory since
Marshal Rommers last desert
drive, Hitler IS throwing the book
at the beachhead," wrote Kenneth
Dixon of The Associated Press.
Allied pilots say the German air
men over the beachhead are the
toughest yet seen in the Mediter-
ranean theatre Dixon wrote, and
they are in greater numbers than
previously met over Italy.
The German ground troops, too,
arc powerful. including the 26th
Panzer Division, veterans of Rus.
STA. They are willine to spend
many lives to gain a little grounr,
he noted, declaring:
Everything points to one OBJ.
vious conclusion-the German high
command has ordered the beach
head knocked out regardless Of
cost"
He predicted that the full Ger
man counter offensive probably
would come from the north.
There was No promise of relief
for the landing forces from 1t
Gen. Mark w. Clark's main Fifth
Army, which for a week had beer
stymied within the ruins of Cas-
sine, so airline miles away. To
days advices said bitter house-to
house fightiny still was in prog
ress there, with the Germans Lit
orally resisting to the death. Monte
Casino, which rears just north
west of the town and is the key
to its defenses, remained in the
enemy's possession at latest re
port.
The Germans smashed at thu
beachhead at six points yesterday
with their fiercest attack aimed a
British positions north and ives
of Carroceto Aprilia), 10 mile
due north of Anzio. Three thrust
were made against American posi-
tons west of Cisterna, Nazi strong
point on the Appian way 10 mile
northeast of Anzio. For the frs
time, the enemy also probed al
lied defenses near the extrem
ends of the beachhead, both abov'
! and below Anzio.
/ All attacks were fought off with
out serious loss Of ground, but al
Allied spokesman acknowledge
that the beachhead as a who'll
was on the defensive for the pres
ent.
(In Washington Acting Secretar,
of War Robert Patterson said tina
although the heaviest German at

are yet to come, "our men ar

Americans Slow
Beachhead Drive

in the slowing down OF the Ger
mans first main attempt to drive
the beachhead defenders back in
to the sea.
There is no doubt in my mind
the Germans were attempting to
smash through one sector in an
attempt to split the beachhead and
then run in tanks as fast as pos
sible.
But despite wave after wave Of
German troops and tanks thrown
into this push it did not break
through, but made only num-
Der Of indentations which during
the last "a hours the Allies have
smashed. -s
I feel now that the enemy will
have to mount new drive as the
one which began Monday night
was petered out.
During the night the Germans
made veral small attacks
against both American and British
lines, but they were quickly re-
PEELED. One of these German as
saults during the night was sup
ported by IS Mark Nv tanks.

70 States Authorize
Use Of Federal Ballots
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Governors of 20 States have
certified that laws of their States
authorize use of Federal ballots by
service men and women overseas,
the United States War Ballot Com
mission announced yesterday.
Governors of the other States said
use of the Federal ballot was not
authorized by their laws.
Since the 20 States provide for
voting by State absentee ballot.
the Federal ballot may be furnished
to their citizens only If they take
oath that they applied for a State
absentee ballot before September l,
but did not receive it by October /.
The 20 States are California, Con-
necticut. Florida. Georgia, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Texas, Utah, Vermont and Wash
ington.
The Federal. ballot may be fur
nished by the Army, Navy and War
Shipping Administration to citizens
of those 20 States, who are outside
the United States and who are in
the armed forces, the Merchant
Marine, or who are serving with the
American Red Cross, the Society of
Friends, Womens Auxiliary Service
Pilots and United Service Organiza-
tions which are attached to and
serving with the armed forces.
Millions of applications for bal
lots are being distributed around
the world, wherever Americans are
serving, the commission said.
