 Allied tanks moved again on the Cassino railroad station in the south and the east town station which has changed hands many times during the course of the bloody two months battle. But to- day, however. the fury of the at tack and the methodical way it was moving forward seemed to in- dicate that the next trains run from the station would be on an Allied schedule and not Hitler's.
