NAILS PLAN new
FRONT in ITALY
Troops Fail To Stabilize
Line In Central Part
OF The Country

ROME, Oct. 7-lRNThe Germans
with eight divisions reported oppos-
ing the stubbornly advancing
American Fifth army, have again
failed to stabilize their front in
central Italy and apparently are
trying to buila a new defensive
line farther north, Allied headquar-
tiers said today.
The Americans drove forward
two miles past the captured town
Of Loiano to a point only IL miles
from the great communications
center of Bologna, at the edge OF
the wide Pc valley sweeping across
The north of Italy.
The Germans were reported
working frantically to ship war ma
terials from northern Italy to Ger
many before their front collapses.
One report said the Nazis were
ripping up railway lines and send
ing the rails to their beleaguered
homeland. Another said the enemy
was attempting to remove whole
factories, including workers.
In order to gain more time for
1ooting the Pc valley and the in
Gustrail centers of northern Italy,
Field Marshal Gen. Albert Kessel-
ring is moving in reinforcements
from other parts of the front to
impede the American drive, an Of
fetal Fifth arEay report said.
Today's Allied communique said
that the enemy has again failed
to stabilize his front in the central
Stor, where American troops of the
Fifth army continue to make a
methodical progress. At headquar-
tiers the belief was officially ex-
pressed that the Nazi command
was hopeful of finishing prepara-
ton Of another defensive line to
the north.
