Nat Fleischer is editor Of the
Ring. a publication devoted 10

publishes books Of similar tone,
one being rather heftv tome
called Nat Fleischer's All-Time

This book purports to reveal

Chronologically. no individual

going TO chide Nat about. My

Congress Is Assai|ed
For Ga|Iinger Role
lin Lincoln Park Talk

The Lincoln Park Citizens AS.
sociation went on record last night
to ask Congress to take Gallinge1
Hospital out Of the chamber OF
horrors class" and place 1t on q
level with such institutions as Wal
ter Reed Hospital.
Accusing Congress of playing
politics with human misery, w. H
Lowden. chairman of the associa
tion's Welfare Committee, pointed
out that the reputation of Gallinger
has been seriously injured because
of recent adverse criticism. He said
that patients. though INDECENT, were
hesitant to go to the hospital for
treatment, and that the hospital
has found nurses and doctors re-
luctant to join the staff.
In a special report, Mr.. Lowden
praised DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, for
mer superintendent of the hos
pital, who resigned his post under a
storm Of criticism He also praised
the hospitals staff for doing good
job under the conditions afforded
them.
Increased appropriations for GAL
linger, Mr.. Lowden reported, would
help the hospital fulfill its needs in
providing adequate service. He also
recommended that the hospital have
fence, similar to Walter Reed

and that permanent guards be en-
ployed at special entrance gate.
Mr.. Lowden maintained In his re-
port that the Congress should give
the Commissioners free hand" in
supervising Gallinger, w. lch, he
said, had not been the case in the
past.
In other action, the association
reaffirmed its opposition to any
further grants of public money for
permanent public housing as be-
ing IAN unjustiflable and needless
squandering Of public funds urg-
emily needed for the prosecution Of
the war"
The association also voted to COM
pliment Frank B. Marks, District
poundmaster, for his work in ridding
the Lincoln Park neighborhood of
stray dogs.

quency."

Russia May Gain 16 Seats At Peace Table Conference

Washington, Feb. 2 = (U.P) - The Soviet Unions decision to give her 16 states independent voice in foreign affairs was interpreted to- day as a Russian move to match the votes which the United States and Great Britain could count on in any future world organization.
 The decision was believed in most diplomatic quarters to be directed primarily at Great Britain which, in the League of Nations, enjoyed the added advantage of a vote for each member of the British con- monwealth. Russia had but one.
 Separate votes for states or coun- tries controlled by Moscow and London would appear to put the United States at decided disad- vantage in any future league where, presumably, important decisions would be made by majority vote.
 Observers, however, pointed out that the United States would not necessarily stand alone in any post war international organization, since the considerations that might prompt 1t to vote "aye'' on any question would probably bring similar votes from other western hemisphere republics. Canada, as a member of the British Common wealth, would of course be an ex- ception.

 It was reported that a number of Italian merchant vessels previously detained in Spanish harbors had been released. Detention of these vessels was one of the issues at

Mosquitoes Nip Berlin

London, Feb. D. (UP) British mosquito bombers opened the Feb ruary aerial assault against Axis Europe last night with 8 nuisance raid on Berlin while fires still smouldered in the devastated capi- tai from four attacks in the previous five nights.
 ObjectiveS elsewhere in Germany also were hit by formations of the speedy, twin-engined mosquitoes, which penetrated clouds and fog over occupied Europe that kept the RATS four-engined heavyweightS grounded. One mosquito was lost.
 The raids were the first on Ger many by Allied planes since a big formation of British heavy bombers dropped more than 1880 short tons on Berlin in the 14th major assault since the RAF launched its all-out offensive last Nov. 18.
 The RAF announced last night that it's bomber command dropped more than 20,l6O tons of explosives on Axis Europe last month, includ- ing 1O,416 tons in six attacks on Ber- lin.
 A total of 18,48O tons was unload ed on Germany, exceeding by 560 tons the previous monthly record set in August. However the overall total of 20,16O did not equal the 21,- 28O tons rained down on Axis Eur ope, including Italy, in August, the month preceding the Sicily invasion.
 The RAF reported 200 bombers, and presumably 1,600 crew members were lost in the six Berlin attacks and other operations carried out simultaneously.
 In the course of all operations during the month, the RAF lost 1885 aircraft. Ninety-three enemy planes were destroyed over Europe and 27 over England for a total of 12O.

Allies Rip On In ItoIy

Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Feb. |2(UP) - French and American troops ripped through a four mile gap in the Nad Gustav line in Gen. tral Italy today, collapsing the main enemy Notifications north of Cassino.
 Climaxing weeks of costly moun- tain fighting against the Germans long-prepared hedgehog defenses, tank-led American and French in- fantrymen surged westward through the Rapido River valley and cap- tured a number of fortified heights overlooking Cassino.
 Official reports said the Allied spearheads had reached a point only a mile from Terrelle, a village at the base of the 5,570-foot Mount Cairo which dominates the entire area.
 Dispatches from the battle zone said one American unit had smash ed into a German strongpoiut only one mile from CaSsino, and observ- CTS said the NaziS had been cleared from their last prepared lines in that sector.
 Headquarters spokesmen indicat- ed the Germans would be forced to fall back nine miles to the so-called Adolf Hitler line," which Nazi prisoners have reported is even stronger than the Gustav defenSes.
 Front reports said the final battle that broke the Gustav line yester- day was fought out in an eerie pail of fog that blanketed the Rapido Valley, hampering observation by German artillery emplaced in the heights to the north.
 American artillerymen moved up their guns under cover of the fog and opened a terrific bombardment on Casino, which the Nazis were believed to have virtually aband- oned.
 British 9th army patrols also were active on the Adriatic coastal front, and Canadian units advanced slightly in the Tollo sector to seize hill positions overlooking a cross (Continued on Page 4)
