War Department HOnOrs AFL Building Tradesmen

Washington, D. C.-Private First Class Roy E. Moffet, an AFL build- ing trades worker, has been awarded the Silver Star, high Army medal, for courageous and tireless efforts in aiding wounded soldiers in the face of heavy enemy fire in Italy, the War Department announced. Pfc. Moffet's father, Roy R. Moffet of Salina, Kan, is vet eran of World War and proud of the honor awarded his son. Son Roy, though only 21 now, before entering the Army worked for the Tarlton & Mcdonald Construction Company in Salina.
 The War Department citation for Pfc. Moffet reads:
 "On December 21, 1943, during Mediterranean campaign, when his battalion was ordered to withdraw from a hill under intense enemy smelling, he was assigned the task of furnishing supplies and ammuni- tiou to the covering forces remain ing on the hill. The enemy's vicious attack inflicted many casualties on the withdrawing troops, and he voluntarily joined a party to evac- uate the wounded from the hill. Although he had not slept in 32 hours, he indefatigably covered the rough terrain, constantly exposed to enemy fire to bring aid to the wounded soldiers. He was success full in recovering and eYacuating many of his comrades, but in so doing he himself was wounded by an enemy shell fragment. His de- termination to save the wounded in the face of grave personal danger forcefully demonstrated his cour- age and valor."

Associated Press War Correspondent.
LONDON, Feb. 9. - Originally
planned as great offensive thrust
to break the back of German re-
sistance below Rome, the Anzio
beachhead has become instead of
Tobruk-like defensive position
through failure to exploit the early
success of the landings.
Because of Allied domination of
the skies there seems little danger
that the beachhead forces will he
pushed into the sea, but the job of
maintaining them promises to be a
costly one. Forced to supply the
beachhead from the sea, the Allies
face steady drain on shipping from
German rocket glider bombs.
The decision to follow a cautious
role in the bridgehead was taken de-
spite the fact that the surprise land
ings enabled the Allies to achieve
the goal desired by all generals
numerical superiority at given
point of attack.
Both Advantages Lost.
1t is now apparent that the ad-
vantages of surprise and numerical
superiority both have been lost, for
the Germans have been able to build
up their strength and have brought
in new divisions from the north.
There is no reason to suppose they
will not be able to hold this ad-
vantage.
The Allies thus find themselves
definitely on the defensive in
position of major Importance in the
Mediterranean for the first time
since Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
landed in North Africa and Gen
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery began
his march from Ell Alamein.
The original landings at Nettuno
represented one of the greatest
tactical surprises of the war. They
were practically unopposed, the
only German reserve divisions
around Rome having been rushed
south to the Casino front.
Scattered German forces stood
between the Allies and two key
roads linking Rome and the main
5th Army front.
Cautious Role Chosen.
The Allied commanders had two
choices:
l. To strike boldly for Rome and
the highways with the idea of keep
ing the Germans so disorganized
that they could not mount coun-
terthrust, gambling, meanwhile, on
our ability to keep men and supplies
flowing into the beachhead.
3 To move inland few miles,
then halt and make sure sufficient
men and supplies were ashore to
make the beachhead secure before
moving forward.
The latter course was chosen.
The decision to follow this eau
tious role is not the responsibility
of any one commander 1t must be
shared equally by 1t. Gen. Mark
w. Clark, Gen. Sir Harold Alexander
and Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Will
son. all of whom were on the scene
and could have taken responsibility
for a push forward

Arlington S Low Tax
Keeps New Plants Out,
zoning Official Says

Industry is being discouraged
from coming to Arlington County
because prices on industrial prop
erty in the county are too high and
taxes too low, Donald r. Locke,
county zoning administrator, said
today.
If industrial property assessments
were raised to the proper figure, he
said, owners couldn't afford to hold
land vacant and industries would
be able to move into the county.
Figures from the commissioner
OF revenues of1ce give an illustra-
ton Of Mr.. Locke's contention. The
Milton Hopfenmaier estate, a site
OF 23.613 acres on the Jefferson
Davis highway, IS being quoted at
Ia minimum price Of $43,560 per
acre, while 1t has an assessed val
uation Of approximately $1,000 per
acre.
Based on q $2.70 tax rate on a
40 per cent valuation, the entire
property, with sale price of more
than 100000, pays q tax Of
81, ,082. 10.
OF the u square miles of land in
the county, Mr.. Locke said, indus
trially zoned land amounts to
per cent for manufacturing and
4 per cent for commercial.
Other classifications, he said, in
ciude apartment areas, 1917 per
cent; one-family residential, II
per cent; two-family residential and
semidetached, 91a per cent.
In the areas zoned for apart
ments there is room for construc-
ton to accommodate 1900 people
Mr.. Locke said. Zoning ordinances
he concluded. provided for pop
ulation Of $4,000 n the county.
