 In Q later attack, Vunakanau and Tobera Airdromes at Rabaul were hit. Even parked aircraft were de. stroyed or damaged at Tobera and both rtlnwayS were damaged.

thirds It's original area)
 While headquarters spokesmen said the Germans had failed com pletely to roll up the Allied front yesterday, they acknowledged that the Anglo American forces were fighting a purely defensive battle.
 Twenty days after the initial landing, 1t was indicated that the beachhead forces were digging in to await a break-through by the main 5th army forces 50 miles to the south.
 Observers believed the landings may have been intended to coincide with a fast-rolling drive northward from Casino that would pinch the Nazis between two Allied armies and shatter their communications below Rome.
 Front reports from the Cassino sector, however, revealed that strong German forces were battling the Americans almost to a standstill in that area, holding fast to Cossino and the hills above the town.
 German and American tanks clashed at point-blank range inside the fortress town-still largely held by the Nazis--and the official re- port was that the Americans made slight progress.
 Savage Street Fighting
 The communique said savage street fighting was in progress in- side Casino, but acknowledged that the Germans had thrown in several powerful counter-attacks elsewhere on the main 5th army front-ap- parently in the hills above the town These Nazi thrusts were repulsed, the communique said.
 United Press War Correspondent James E. Roper reported in front dispatch that the battle in and around Casino was the toughest American troops have engaged in since the beginning of the Mediter- ranean campaign.
 Fighting from strong hill positions above the town, the Nazis repeatedly beat back American attacks and in- flicted serious" casualties on the

 He explained that the store man. agers would keep their stock inyen- tories straight by taking money out of the register to pay the truck drivers, so the amount of cash on hand would balance against the stock in the event of eheck-up.
 Then, In the case of Clement, they would split the cash three ways. Schulzinsky, he said, insisted on a 50 per cent cut.
 The truck drivers, who were em- ployed by the Mashkin Freight Lines Inc. to haul First National Supplies from the East Hartford warehouse to various stores kept their accounts straight by breaking up cases of mis- cellaneous goods into smaller cases to balance against the number stol- en.
 Thus a manager receiving a con- signment would get the correct number of cases, but would later find various goods missing for which he would be held responsible.
 Tn truck drivers would then take the stolen goods and offer them for sale at another store. They aver aged about $50 a day, the detective said.
 Detectives Doyle and Brickel fol- lowed the truck drivers for weeks before they found out where they were disposing of the goods. The cases contlscated in Waterbury were part of load consigned to Green wich and Stamford, they said. De- tective Lieut.. William Foley of the Waterbury police department as- sisted the state detectives in this city.
 investigation is continuing into other thefts in Connecticut, Massa- chusetts and New York, Detective Doyle said.
 After the two men pleaded guilty this morning, Attorney Frank Mc- Donald called James A. Gillen, sup~ ervisor of the First National Stores to the stand.
 MT. Glenn said this was the first black mark against either man af- ter years of service, and that the company would continue to employ them. He said both men had fine regulations and were capable man. agers.
 Judge Conway said that while the offense was a serious one, and would ordinarily be bound over to super for court, he was impressed by MT. Gillen's testimony and the fact that the men had no previous police rec ords. He told the men that they had come close to receiving ser ious penalty, and imposed 50-day jail sentences, suspended tor one year. He warned them that the suspensions could and would be revoked in the event of any further trouble.

Continued from Page D Allied line, narrowed the gap some what while British 25-pounderS held off German endorsements.
 The German attack started an hour before midnight Thursday. Every enemy gun seemed trained on the long, thin salient where the British Spearehead, had halted 18 miles from Rome.
 The curious thing was that every body expected it. From the begin ming, the British had showed far ahead of the main bridgehead line. Their initial thrust carried them to Campo Di Carno. A second jump took them to Aprilia, where they crushed the first German counter attack. Finally in hard fighting, they cut the main railway line to Campoleon and were half mile beyond when all signals suddenly turned red.
 Their salient was about two miles long and scarcely mile wide. The Germans were quick to exploit this dangerously extended position.
 Thursday night. the front was relatively quiet. A small counter attack on the left flank had been beaten of in the late afternoon and at 6:30 forward units reported to headquarters "We are fairly happy about the situation"
 At 10:15 the enemy sent up two white flares from the left At II the whole sector suddenly blazed with the heaviest German shelling of the campaign.
 news from the left: situation very bad"
 It was estimated that at that time nearly a battalion of Germans had broken through. They overran the main highway far behind the British line and for awhile, the Sal- ient was tightly sealed. Oddly, the Germans failed to maintain the pressure, so some of the forward units were able to fall back and in bitter fighting cleared the highway.
 The gap was closed at 2:30 a. rn., and an hour later companies were able to report, situation normal"
 At Il o'clock the Germans threw in fresh troops and sent a large number of tanks against both sides of the narrowing salient.
 By noon all communications had been cut, except radio.
 At 3:15 came the message "every- thing OK", but this was followed by long period of silence.
 At 4, an Allied relief force at tackled from Aprilia to close the mile gap.

 Some ITO miles northwest of Krivoi Rog, the annihilation of the battered remnants of 10 encircled German divisions below Cherkasi appeared to be entering its final phase with Soviet artillery and planes ceaselessly raining shells and bombs on the shrinking pocket. The 1st and End Ukrainian armies, moving in for the kill, captured GorodiShche, 20 miles northwest of Smela and three miles into the southern side of the pocket; Irdyn, six miles into the eastern side, and Brovakhi, five miles into the western side.
