BY the Associated Press.

BERN, Switzerland, May 16.-
The Allied push into the Gustav
Line, coupled with bombings
and partisan sabotage, has dis
rupted food deliveries and
thrown Italy into the greatest
|confusion since the days after
Mussolinis custer, it was re-
ported today.
Swiss dispatches from the border
said at least 100000 Italians were
fleeing the southern war zone and
have pushed into Rome, which al
ready is short of housing and crowd
ed with 100000 persons who have
been bombed out of their homes.
Virtually no rail communications
exist from Florence southwark, the
dispatches said, and it has been i'm
possible to shunt the refugees north
ward. Trucks and planes alone are
available for transporting food to
the south, it was said.
italian Partisans, their numbers
growing, have launched a series OF
lhit-and-run offensives to parallel
the Allied offensive, frontier reports
said.
Open fights between Fascists and
anti-Fascists were reported from
Northern Italy.

Father 0rIemanski
Confined 10 Bed on
Orders Of Physician
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 16.-
The Rev. Stanislaus Orlemanski,
suspended by his bishop for an un-
authorized flying trip to Moscow,
was confined to bed in the rectory
of his church today and a physician
said he was ION the verge OF COM
plete physical and mental break
down."
DR.. william c. Kotarski said the
Polish h-American priest, who twice
conferred with Premier Josef Stain,
appeared very nervous and upset"
and that he had ordered him to re-
main in bed for several days.
The doctor said the pastor of Our
Lady of the Rosary Church was
visibly affected by developments
since his return from Russia and
that his condition precluded the
immediate carrying out of plans to
enter monastery.
Brothers Believed With Him.
Father Orlemanski's priestly priv
ileges were suspended by his su-
perior, Most Rev. Thomas M
OLeary, Bishop of Springfield, as
punishment for leaving his parish
without permission.
The suspension was announced
last Saturday and since then Father
Orlemanski has made no public ap-
pearance. His two brothers, priests
stationed in Cleveland and New
Kensington, Pa, respectively, were
believed to be with him in Spring
field today.
The Rev. George A. Shea, chan
celor of the Springfield diocese
told a press conference yesterday
that he thought it likely" that
material Father Orlemanski brought
back from Russia might. be. for.
warded to Roman Catholic, Church
officials, but he would not SAY
whether that meant his bishop, the
apostolic, delegate at Washington OF
the holy see. .-
The chancellor added that Father
Or!emanski would not be restricted
from writing about or discussing his
trip so long as he covered only his
torical facts and did not touch on
faith and morals.
Canon Law is Cited.
A regulation of canon law requires
that any priest who writes about
religion must obtain the imprimatur
(approvaD of his bishop before the
matter can be published, Father Shea
pointed out, adding. that I'VE are
concerned only with Father Orle-
manski's activity as a priest of the
Springfield Diocese
Father Shea also reported that he
mad discussed the suspension with
a committee of parishioners of Ou1
Lady OF the Rosary Church, of which
Father Orlemanski was pastor.
THE committee told us how much
they liked Father Orlemansh and
how much he had done for his parish
facts which we already knew" he
said Il told them that they would
help Father Orlemanski by letting
the matter subside."

MARSHAL TITO'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Somewhere in Yugoslavia,
May 6 (DelayeO This is the first
dispatch written by Allied corre-
spondents from inside Hitler's Eu-
ropean fortress, from Marshal Tito's
somewhere in the
Yugoslav mountains.
We are now witnessing Yugo-
slavias fight for freedom and are
the first Allied correspondents to
report the war from behind the
enemy lines. actually Daniel De
Luce of the Associated Press visited
one of Tito's brigade headquarters
in Yugoslavia last September and
wrote a first-hand account of the
Partisan war effort But he did
not reach Tito's own headquarters
The four of us, two journalists
and two cameramen, arrived here
two days ago as representatives OF
the entire American and British
press. The journalists are Stoyan
Pribichevich, an American, of Time,
Life and Fortune magazines, and
John Talbot, a Britisher, of Reu-
ters. The cameramen are Chief
Petty Officer G. E. Fowler, United
States Navy, formerly photographer
for the Los Angeles Herald-Dis-
patch, and Sergt. Max Slade of the
British Army film Photographic
unit, formerly assistant film editor
at Pinewood Studios, England.

bridgehead over the Rapido River,
which officially was reported to be
now nearly 2 miles deep In the di-
rection of Pignataro, enemy strong
point in the center of the mouth Of
the Liri valley. -
The so-cailed 'Liri appendix,
where the Liri and Rapido Rivers
join, was mopped up and counterat-
tacks driven of. In the northern
part of the valley the enemy was re-
ported covering Highway 6-the
road to Rome-with tanks plus many
small units, some of which were
hastily scraped together, as well as
elements of the 1st Paracute Divi-
sion.
On the approaches to Pignataro
the chief resistance came from Nazi
75-mm. assault guns and Mark III
and Mark w tanks.
Fresh troops poured over the
bridges of the Rapido to join forces
which are two-thirds British, one
third Indian.
Allied planes and artillery scored
a significant success by silencing
heavy guns which had been seeking
to knock out the Rapido bridges
and sappers finished a number of
new bridges.
The terrain over which the thrust
from the bridgehead must progress
is undulating and interlaced with
numerous wadis, streams and farm
buildings, all of which offer the
enemy good defensive positions. The
Allied command reported progress
was slowed by flooded fields and
other tank obstacles.
There were no reports today OF
the Poles northwest of Casino, and
it appeared the assault in that sec
tor had been brought to standstill
by strongly intrenched German
parachute troops.
The enemys possession of the
ruins of Casino and the nearby
monastery heights was made pre-
carious by the advance of the
French and the British gains south
of the town, but the Nazis still have
a long series of excellent defensive
positions stretched back along the
Liri Valley for at least 10 miles.
Within that stretch the valley
