Docks in Rotterdam
Blown Up by Nazis;
Evacuation Indicated
Highways Are CIoeeed
With Transport Moving
To South and Eust
By the Associated Press,


LONDON, Oct. 12.-Signs of a
possible Nazi breakup in Holland
appeared today as it was dis
closed that a crew of 5000 Ger
man demolition experts had
blown up more than 10 miles of
quays and docks during the last
10 days in Rotterdam, Hollands
second city and biggest port.
Roads around Rotterdam were
clogged with Nazi transport, moving
generally to the south and east.
On the south bank of the Neder
Rhine the Germans suddenly aban-
doned a stretch between Arnhem
and Rotterdam.
Although it appeared that the
Nazis were preparing to abandon
Observation-Disclosures they hardly
would be destroying its essential
installations-the Nazis' full inten-
ton in Holland was not yet clear.
The south and easterly movement
of transport around Rotterdam
might mean an attempt to estab-
lish line running roughly from
Bergen Op Zoom, near the East
Schelde, to Arnhem, or it might
mean an effort to pull out OF
Northwestern Holland in order to
provide more strength for the de-
fense of the Reich.
Canadian troops were reported to
be within two miles of Bergen Op
zoom today, with their positions to
the south and west in the Schelde
Estuary area universally improved
Far to the south, advances on the
American Sd Army front were vir-
tually foot by foot. There was no
new report on the situation before
the Belfort Gap, where the French
1st Army is trying to break into
Germany.

SUPREME ALLIED HEADOUAR-
TIERS, Oct. 12-Gen. Eisenhower
declared today that I'VE have hard
job ahead, but victory is certain"
The supreme commander said he
would permit no fraternizing with
the Germans as his invasion armies
move deeper into the Reich.
He is resolved on one thing: That
the fight will continue unabated
through the winter, If necessary
and as much longer as 1t may take
to crush the enemy. There may be
pauses in the Allied advances due
to the ferocity of German resistance
and our own supply problems, but
there will be no letup in aggressive
action on the part of the Allies.
