heavy attacks in the northern
sector, but all evidence today in

An announcement at head

Both sides threw tanks into the

The Americans and British
were said to be grimly holding

tremendous pressure.

beachhead. The enemy was said
to be throwing his full force OF
infantry, tanks and artillery in
to the struggle which was hour

HEAVY AIR SUPPORT
Enemy aircraft swung into the
battle in unusual force, some 100
sorties attacking detectives In
the battle zone. But the Allied
air forces met the air attack.

nine of the attackers and blast

In a day of extensive and

bombers, large and small, and
fighters flew approximately L.

yards in Rome were hit for the
second straight day and heavy

SHOCK TROOPS STRIKE
After the long and concen-

rage yesterday morning, the
first enemy shock troops struck
in the first phases of the new
beachhead attack with tanks in
support. The Allied armor inn
mediately went into action
against them.
The Germans kept coming in
wave after wave throughout
yesterday and last night.
The enemy attack came In the
Carroceto (Aprilia) area, 10
miles due north of the Port of
Anzio. Much of the previous
heavy fighting has taken place
in that sector and various van

expected to attend the conference,
including Gov. Dewey of New York,
Bricker of Ohio and Warren OF
California.
Democratic Governors, while none
is expected to figure as the presi-
Dental nominee of their party, may
have plenty to discuss, especially
about the selection of q running
mate for President Roosevelt.

Ford Sees War as Rehearsal;
Hopes for Universal RELIGION

land anything that hinders industry
Is harmful to the American ideal
Speaking on his company's latest
financial statement, showing an
asset value in excess of 81 900 600 900
Mr.. Ford. who started his company
with an initial paid-in capital OF
$28, 900 nearly Al years ago, said:
"A billion dollar empire? Money
is just a part Of a practical life;
1t saves time in exchanging goods
and Is no good for anything else
All I care about is that we have
money enough to do the work that
lies ahead without borrowing. When
you borrow, somebody else takes
over your business and, no matter
what sort of sleight-of- hand you
use, debt is not wealth."
Sees Lesson In War.
Noting that as result Of the war
there will be more work to be
done than ever BEFORE" Mr.. Ford
said:
$50 long as there is no manipula-
ton on the part of the greedy to
prevent a proper days pay being
paid for useful days work, we
shall enjoy greater production and
greater consumption than ever.
War has done much to teach
greater use Of machinery. Certainly
1t has developed the airplane as q
means Of transportation, and trans
portation Is going to solve many of
our postwar problems-and distribu-
ton Of food and other essential
goods. Moreover, it is going to de-
velop into an even greater force for
misunderstanding people to know
and respect one another"
One OF the truly important things
we must seriously plan for in the
postwar period, "rlle said , "is to put
greater emphasis upon education
the kind of education that was
taught In the william Holmes Nc
Gudey readers. We should try to
teach our young folks, as McGuffey
did, to be kind to all you chance
to meet; In field or lane or crowded
street."
"Hatreds and suspicious are ram
pant; it's going to be a tremendous
task to remove them. The quickest
way will be through education based
upon truth. Among other things
we must teach our young people the
real causes of war. You know. no
matter how hard you try, you can't
get away with a lie very long"
Formal education, Mr.. Ford added
could be greatly facilitated If our
churches were used as schools: they
could and should be because thew
stand Idle most of the week, any
way"
He recalled that he had built
seven churches in Connecticut with
Ford-supported educational projects
They are conducted on a ,ion-sec-
tartan basis and some are used as
schools.
If we could get all religions to-
gether on common purpose-the
elimination of jealousies and the
things that make men covet an
others belongings, we would be q
long way toward the goal of out
moding war, depression and pov.
erty," he said.
