Germans Sink Hospital Ship
Off Nettuno; Attack 2 More
Allied Headquarters,

Allied headquarters, Al
giers, January 26. = (UP) -
German bombers sank an
Allied hospital ship and at
tackled two others during the
Fifth Army landing south of
Rome, despite the fact that
all three vessels were fully
lighted and "well outside"
the invasion zone, it was an
nounced officially today.
A headquarters announcement
said the Nazi bombers made several
runs over the defenseless hospital
ships and dropped flares to further
illuminate their plainly identified
targets.
Loss of life aboard the three YES
sells was believed to have been low,
because of the prompt rescue work
by Allied warships in the area.
The attack occurred off the Net
tuno beachhead, where Allied 5th
Army troops landed early Saturday
morning.
CHS correspondent, John. DAILY,
said in broadcast from advanced
headquarters in Italy that the ships
were bombed Sunday night In Anzio
Bay, between Nettuno and Anzio,
and that all three were lighted up
like Christmas trees" when the
bombers attacked.

Italy Patriots
Start Terrorism

Bern, January 26. - Italian pa
triots have begun reign of terror
against the Germans in Rome and
the Nazi command has placed the
capital under a state of siege, 1tal-
ian frontier reports said today.
Rifles, revolvers, hand grenadeS
and ammunition hidden when the
Germans occupied Rome last Sep
tember were said to have reap
peared suddenly as news spread
through the city that Allied invas-
ion troops were only 20 miles away.
Unconfimed reports reached Bern
that the pro-Allied fifth column had
grenaded and bombed numerous
German military barracks, ammuni-
ton depots and gasoline storage
tanks. Several German soldiers were
slain in the streets in daylight.

Mystery Girl Found
On Road Last Night

An unidentified girl in her early
twenties, apparently unframed, but
in a state of extreme hysteria, was
found lying along side the road on
Route go in Prospect shortly be-
fore 10 p. m. last night.
State Trooper John Dunphy drove
the girl to st. Mary's hospital where
doctors and state and city police
officers were unable to obtain any
coherent statement from her. DR.. S.
Francis DiLorenzo said the girl
would talk only in scattered phrases,
shouting WORDS like "teeth," and
don't"
Examination by DR.. DiLorenzo
and DR.. Edward A. Herr failed to
reveal any injury to the girl, al
though their examination could not
be completed because Of the girls
extreme resistance and non-cooper-
alton.
DR.. Herr said she appeared to be
in a state of psychic terror or ex-
IRENE fright.
The girl was discovered last night
by Walter Blanchard, Prospect, who
called State Police barracks at 9:55
to report a girls body lying in the
road in front Of his house, which
is about a mile and quarter below
Four Corners.

French CoastBlasted Again
In Greatest BL0w OF Kind

London, January &c. -
Wave of Allied bombers re-
sumed the daylight lombard
ment of the French invasion
coast in great strength today,
Glowing up a series of small
sScale night attacks by the
Raj on northern France and
western Germany.
Carrying of the greatest softerling
up bombing campaigns in history
into its fourth straight day, squad
rons Of American and British me-
dunn bombers crossed the Dover
Straits at daybreak to heap tons of
explosives on the chain of German
anti-invasion defenses strung along
the Pas de Calais coast.
Swarms of Allied fighters shuttled
continuously over the target area,
covering the bombing formations
against enemy fighter interrogation.
The day shift" picked up the at
tack after the ATS fast Mosquito
bombers had stabbed at targets in
the western Reich and other Allied
night raiders hit enemy objectives
in northern France. Not a single
plane was lost in the night offensive.
It was the 18th daylight blow at
the heavily-fortified French coast
since the beginning of the year and
the 18th since December 81 when
the Allied command launched an
about bombing campaign to blast
path into western Europe for its
invading armies.
Coastal observers reported that at

All Western


Washington, Jan Is - (U.P.) -
Official quarters here interpreted
Argentina's break with the Axis as
perhaps the greatest triumph in
the 10-year history of the good
neighbor policy.
The break, announced in Buenos
Aires, closes the entire western
hemisphere to Axis agents. Until
today, Argentina had been the only
American country still doing bus
mess with Germany and Japan.
Argentina's action, climaxing a
long period of Allied pressure in
both the economic and political
fields, was expected to:
/. Halt the spread of dissension
among the 81 American republics
to which enemy agents have de-
voted great energy in the hope of
diverting American attention and
delaying Axis defeat.
2. Cut off all Nad communica-
tons with the western hemisphere,
whence Germany has received in
formation on ship sailings, war
production, mobilization and move
ments Of troops.
3. Head off what most American
observers believed to be an cpl
demic Of Axis agitation threatening
the present pro-Allied governments
of many neighboring South Amer
lean nations.
4. Isolate the present revolution
airy Bolivian regime, which the
State Department refused to recog-
nize because Of indications that II
was inspired by subversive groups
plotting disturbances against the
American governments operating in
defense Of the hemisphere"
Diplomatic sources said the break
must be listed rs major triumph
for Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
who has devoted his energies I'M
swervingly to augmentation Of
the good neighbor policy.
When evidence accumulated that
the Bolivian coup Of December 20
was inspired by Axis agents oper-
ating from Argentina, some State
Department. advisors urged o COM
plete severance of diplomatic rela-
tons with that country. Hull de-
cided against such o step.

Mar, Admits Staying
NelUSpaper1U0n1Qn

New Haven, Conn, Jan. -26-(UP)
Police claimed today to have OBJ
tanned confession from Walter w
Law, 80, former superintendent of a
downtown office building that he
beat to death Miss Rose M. Bran
cato, 28-years-old society reporter
and cremated her body. in furnace
last July 5.
Miss Brancato, employed by the
New Haven Journal Courier, disap-
peared after leaving her office to
attend block party.
Detective Captain Raymond j.
Egan said Miss Brancato apparently
was lured into a building by Law,
beaten and strangled, and her body
crammed into the furnace to con-
ceal the crime.
Law was arrested yesterday on
enlbezzlement a n d burglary
charges, and was said by Capt. Eag-
an to have admitted the Staying
after long hours of questioning. He
was held in communicate and auth
critics withheld the purported con-
feSSion.
Miss Brancato was last seen about
8 p. m, July S on her way to the
party, which was being given for
soldiers stationed at Yale.
A taxi driver said he saw her
walking along the street near the
building where Law was superinten-
dent.
Capt. Eagan said that two weeks
ago "a certain piece Of information"
was obtained by police Sgt. Howard
o. Young land this led to the ar
rest of the man we were seeking
Law--on another charge"
When first arrested, Law was
charged with stealing wrist watch
bands and padding the company
payroll by drawing the wages of a
nonresident night porter whose
name was placed on the payroll.
Police said Law was married, and
that sometime after the crime he
went to ~ .ryland, returning last
Saturday. Prior to that time, accord
ing to Capt. Eagari, he had been un-
der suspicion. and he definitely was
linked with the staying with the in
formation obtained by Sgt. Young.

K rasnogvardeisk Falls To Reds

Premier Marshal Josef Stain is
sued an order of the day hailing the
captors of KrasnogvardeiSk, turn
table Of the staggered German de-
lenses on the Leningrad front. The
city Of $4,000 fell to Soviet storm
troops last night, opening the way
for drive into the Baltic States.
Krasnogvardeisk, also called Cat
hcina, had been converted by the
Germans into a fortress with an ex-
tensive system OF permanent de-
lenses, Stain reported.
The fall Of Krasnogvardeisk was
foreshadowed by earlier Moscow re-
ports revealing that Soviet assault
forces had pocketed the town and
were driving through its suburbs
from three directions.
From KraSnogvardeisk trunk rail-
ways radiate to Talliun, EStonia,
to Pskov at the lower end of Lake
Peipus, to outflanked Tosno east
ward, and up to the Leningrad area.
The fortress was believed to be
the last formidable stronghold in
the Leningrad system Of fortifica-
tons anchoring the German de-
tense line running down to Lake
linen.
With that base reduced, Vogorov
was expected to be able to wheel
his fast moving units in behind the
line and take the sthing out Of the
defenseS to the south.
Stain ordered Govrov'S assault
troops saluted with IL Salvos of
Moscows victory cannon tonight.
For their excellent military oper-
atoms I express gratitude to all the
troops under your command who

The United Nations had.
charged repeatedly that Axis
agents used the German
embassy and consular offices
in Argentina to gather in-
formation on Allied military
plans and shipping moves
mentS.
Gilbert brought the Situa>
ton to a head late last night
with the announcement that
his government was ready to
take the ''final step" to end
these espionage activities
which, he said, had harmed
the national prestige and
compromised Argentina's
honor.
He indicated that the move
was taken in line with the
Pan American convention
under which all the Ameri-
can states pledged them
selves to a policy Of hemis-.
pheric solidarity.
News of the Argentine breals
came soon after stern warning
from Britain and the United States
that the continued presence of Axis
agents in the Americas would no
longer be tolerated.
The U. S. State Department and
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden limited strongly in separate
statements that economic sanctions
would be invoked, If necessary, to
choke of enemy activity in the
western hemisphere.
Both Statements
Both statements were issued in
connection with the British and
American refusal to recognize the
new revolutionary government OF
Bolivia which, they charged, was
linked with subversive elements in
the Americas.
Eden and the o. s. State Depart
ment charged that the "subversive"
movement was being directed by
Axis agents in Argentina.
The urgency Of the situation Was
indicated by feverish activity in
government circles and by the fact
that high foreign office officials
and military leaders still were in
emergency conference at the chan
cellory palace at 2 g. m. today.
At that time Undersecretary or
Foreign Affairs Ibarra Garcia en-
erged and told correspondents an

to all their main italian commun-
ications. Unless they can muster
enough strength to throw the Allies
into the sea, they are going to
have to get out Of the southern
front quickly, while it still Is posi-
bic to do SO, experts maintained.
Speed is essential. The beachhead
already is past the first stage of
consolidation. And 1t is well beyond
the officially acknowledged limits.
Thus it Is capable Of sustaining a
big fighting force.
In addition, the Germans are
threatened with the possibility Of
a British Eighth Army drive up. the

ably does not want to commit more
