ing in the city If Loyang falls, the way is open for full-scale invasion to the in- terior of China, toward Chungking, and if in Japanese hands, would facilitate the drive on Tunokwan, the west gateway between northwestern and central China.
 Allied communiques from India seem to bear out the supposition that the Jap anese invasion of India and north Burma has failed completely, in that British forces are continuing their drive around Kohima, and fighting their way south ward with the allies.
 General Vinegar Joe) StilTwells Burma offensive is grinding it's way for ward and his Chinese offensive captured "a stronghold 1 miles above Kamaing, which he has set as one of the main ob- iectives in his campaign.
 The southwest Asia command reports that allied forces are inflicting upon the Japanese forces, casualties which are rapidly nearing proportions much higher than in any other theater in which the Japanese are engaged
 In Yugoslavia, Tito expects the second front soon, he said in an interview at his headquarters, and says the Russians will drive through to the heart of Ger many The Germans, he says, will not withdraw from the Balkans until com olete collapse sets in.

WORLD FRONT TODAY

Tn developing the battle for eastern China territory, the Allies need to strike at Japan's vitals.
 The Chinese troops have severed the Japanese-held Acknowledging railroad, but have given ground in the struggle to hold strategic Loyang, in Honan Prov ince.
 The Chinese High Command has an- nounced the capture of supply lines on the partly dismantled railway between Hankow and Peiping, which only last week, the Japanese completed the cap- ture of the line and are now setting to work to put it into service. The Chinese had long since removed much of the track
 The capture of Suiping and the isola- ton of enemy forces near Chumatein would snarl the Japanese attempts to seal northeastern China.
 The Nipponese have kept the Allies guessing at their real objectives in the present North China drive, but Chinese authorities view the situation with alarm. in that they fear it is aimed at the com plete control of the 1,000-mile peiping- Canton railroad running through China north and south,
 Such control would make more secure the enemy hold on the rich slice of ter ritory fronting the Pacific coast
 Loyang's defenses have been pierced in three places and there Is heavy fight

The Allied line defending the
beachhead was firmly held and re-

over the weekend, headquarters
spokesman said. The ground was
spongy from many inches Of rain,
impeding the use of armor by both
sides.
Such ground fighting as was re-

battered villages of Carroceto
(Aprilia), 10 miles north of the AL
lied supply port of Anxio. British
troops, aided by tanks, recaptured
an important railway bridge west
Of the town, but the Nazis again
fought their way into the buildings
of a factory half-mile east Of
Carroceto. These buildings now
have changed hands four times in
fierce fighting.
An official announcement said
American and British troops had
captured we'll over 1000 German
prisoners in the beachhead fight
ing since the landings on Jan. %.
The crack 715th German Infantry
Division. which was rushed from
France to join the attack, was re-
ported to have suffered such heavy
casualties that it's thrusts had
greatly diminished in power.
Swedish press dispatches from
Berlin said Allied forces on the
beachhead possessed big advan-
tage in armor and artillery and
predicted they would open heavy
offensive to relieve their position
shortly. The British were admitted
