Bombs Blast Railroads In S. ItoIy
Ry REYNOLDS PACKARD

United Press War CorreSpOndent)
 Allied Headquarters, Naples, March 14.-lUP)-Strong Anglo-American bombing formations resumed the attack against the battered rail- road network supply the German armies in southern Italy, a com munique disclosed today, while AL lied skirmishers beat off new Nazi patrol thrusts on the 5th and 9th Army fronts below Rome.
 Ma2auder and Mitchell medium bombers, taking advantage of lull in the snows and freezing rains that stalled the Allied aerial of- fensive Sunday, spread fire and ruin across seven key points on the Italian west coast and central railroad lines.
 Simultaneously, Allied fighters and fighter bombers ranged almost un- opposed over the Anzio beachhead and the suburbs of Rome, bomb- ing and machine-gunning enemy troops, gun emplacements and trans port targets in support of the 5th Army beachhead forces.
 Bitter paNol fighting and artil- lery excharoes cont'rred without letup throughout Sunday night and Monday on the mud-soaked battle fronts, but Allied spokesmen said the main lines remained virtually unchanged.
 American skirmishers beat of a small-scale German attack on the Anzio front west of Cisterna, cap- turing 1S enemy prisoners, and Al. lied clortars and artillery smashed another enemy thrust against the British lines along the Moletto river, abou three miles inland from the left flank of the Anglo American beachhead.
 Long-range Allied and German guns maintained a steady day and night hombardment on the beach, head front, probing necessarily for troop and supply concentrations in the rear areas.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, March l4- (Up)- The all-important aim of saving the lives of U. s. fighting men stood cut as the primary objective today in a series of pressing questions con- fronting American diplomacy.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull and other high ranking officials have made 1t clear that problems involving the United States and the Vatican, Fire, Spain and Argentina will be approached by this govern ment with the attitude that the se- curity and safety of the American armed forces must in no way be jeopardized.
 This attitude was uppermoSt in the minds of American diplomats as they consider these problems:
 1. The plea of Pope Plus XII thAt Rome be spared the destruction 0E military operations.
 2. Demands by the United states that the Irish government expel Axis diplomats and agents accused of spying on Allied western front now underway in North Ireland and elsewhere in tAa0 British Isles.
 3. American requests that Spain cease giving aid to the NaSiS by halting exports of strategic ma terials and by eliminating German spies from Tangiers, Spanish North African territory opposite Gibraltar.
 4. Elimination from Argentina Of pro-Axis clements, and restraints on Axis diplomats who gtiM 0aRs through the country at will despa4e the fact that Argentina has bro&.

TRAVEL CURB STEP 1 TOWARD
 QUARANTINE
BY ROBERT DOWsON

BY HUBERT DOWSON
 United Press Staff COrrespOndentl,
 London, March IA. - (UPC - The Allies intend to isO- late Fire completely from the outer world to prevent inc vaSiOn secrets leaking to the Axis, Prime Minister Church. i'll told Commons today amid charges that Irish agents already have obtained details of U. s. Forces in Ulster and certain plans of their Oper- atiOns."
 Churchill described restric- tionS on travel between Bri- tain and Ireland as merely the first step" toward quar- antining Fire from the rest of the world during the critical period now approach ing" - a clear hint that Bri- tain was planning to close the border between Fire and Northern Ireland as well as institute other restrictive masureS.
 Sir William Davison, conservative, charged that agents of the out lawed Irish Republican Army had been apprehended recently with papers giving particulars of Amer ican forces in Ulster and with cer- tain plans of their operations" He asked Churchill directly whether he did not consider closure of the Fire Northern Ireland frontier therefore essential.
 T prefer to confine myself to . statement in general terms today" Churchill said. Al necessary meas res within the limits of which I have described will, of course, be taken as they are deemed neceS- sary."
 He told another queStioner that censorship of mail between North ern and Southern Ireland, AS well as other anti-espionage matters. were receiving constant and vigi. lant attention"
 "If a catastrophe were to occur to the Allied armies which could bo traced to the retention of German and Japanese representatives in Dublin," Churchill said, "a gulf would be opened between Great Britain on one hand and Southern

Fire May Break AUay From
 Commonwealth OfNati0ns

Ottawa, March 14-(UP)-Specu- lation in some foreign capitals that Fire might utilize the present dis agreement with Britain as a cause for breaking away from the British Commonwealth of nations-possibly on St. Patricks' .ay, March Twas discounted in government circles to- day, although 1t was admitted that the situation was unpredictable.
 No direct sequel was anticipated here to Prime Minister Mackenzie Kings refusal to intercede with Brit ain and the United States in Fires behalf. Australia also refused Pre- mier Ramon De Valera's request for intercession.
 It was being speculated that Fire might take the stand that the rest of the commonwealth considered her the black sheep of the family, and she could no longer benefit by remaining within a hostile group.
 However, there was belief here that relations between the com- monwealth nations gave no indica- ton of further deterioration as result of the stand the Canadian government had taken. Extreme action by the Fire government in respect to It's connection with the British commonwealth was not ex- pected in these quarters.
 At the present time. it was point ed out here, Fire elects its own governor-general (styled "presi- dentD and is bound to the British commonwealth only by its formal tie to the crown. Government cir cles, while refusing to sanction any speculation of even 8 semi-official nature, were not inclined to believe that Fire might snap this thin thread.
 Should Fire secede from the conl- monwealth, 1t was thought extreme ly doubtful that if any effort would ! (Continued on Page Q

Tottered Nozi Troops Reel Under Blows
By HARRISON SALISBURY

Limited Press Stan COrreSpOndent) Moscow, March 14-(UP)-The tattered German front in the Ukraine was reported losing its last semblance of effective resistance to- day under hail of Red Army blows enhancing the likelihood that the Nazis would be thrown back at least to the Dniester river.
 Soviet armies smashing forward in concert along a 500-mile front were racing for Nikolaev at the mouth of the Bug river, closing an assault arc against VinnitSa, and pushing forward within about 50 miles of the old Rumanian border.
 (The British radio said Russian tanks were within 20 miles of Niko- lacy from the north and from the region of captured Kherson to the SoutheaSt)
 Despite formidable handicaps of terrain and weather, the Russians maintained their forward sweep and front dispatches emphasized that panic was rampant among the German troops aStounded by the speed and momentum of the Soviet advance.
 All signs indicated that any Ger man attempt to make 8 stand along the southern Bug river would be overridden summarily by the Rus- sians, which would force them to abandon the remainder of San Ukraine including the big Black sea port of Odessa.
 Repeated German efforts to dis engage in order to prepare new stabilized defense line failed as Sov- let tanks necessarily haraSsed the Hanks of the Nad columns.
 Loss of Kherson
 The loss of Kherson on the Dnie- per estuary yesterday dealt a death blow to any NaN hope of stemming the Soviet onrush in the lower Dnieper area, and laid open the way for a quick thrust at Nikolaev, 38 miles to the northwest.
 GA German DNB dispatch said the Russians on the lower Dnieper outtnumbered the Germans 10 to 20 times and still were bringing up endorsements, while a Berlin radio spokesman was heard by CBS broadcasting that the suffering of Nad troops in the southern Ukraine exceeds by far anything they had to endure during the icy snow storms of January and February.~

GLOOM RE|GNS IN CAPITAL AS
 HOPE DIES
BY HUBERT UXKULL United Press Staff Correspondent

NOHALeu ETcSS SCaLI COrTeSpOHuCHV
 Stockholm, March IA. - (UP) - Russia has rejected Finland's counterproposals for an armistice, reliable sources said today, and Fin nish sources saw little pros pect of an early separate peace.
 Swedish quarters, however, said the Russian note of rejection was "by no means entirely negative" and expressed hope of a solution.
 The fact that Russia did not pub fish immediately her rejection was interpreted here as sign that Fin land would be given another chance to consider carefully whether to &C., cept the original Soviet provisions for an armistice.
 Jack Fleischer, United Press staff correspondent who just has arrived in Helsinki, indicated that an i'm portant announcement by the Hell Sinki government was imminent, probably today or tomorrow.
 The Finnish parliament was scheduled to meet today, but Fin nish circles doubted the session would prove sensational.
 The Russian note, which arrived in Helsinki by way of Stockholm was understood to insist upon Fin lands acceptance of the original SIX terms laid down by the Soviets be- fore any formal peace negotiations begin.
 Finland had attempted to com promise by countering the original demands with a suggestion that all questions be left for negotiation.
 RuSsia's original proposals called for negotiation only Of the questions of demobilization of the Finnish army, reparations and possession of the Petsamo region, but insisted on immediate internment of 100000 German troops in Finland, with drawal of Finnish troops within their 1940 borders and release of all Soviet and Allied prisoners of war and civilian internees.
 Helsinki, March IA 4- (UP) This Finnish capital, where the domin- ant subject of discussion is the pos sibility of a separate peace with Russia, was tense with expectancy today, but all in all the general tone was on the pessimistic side.
 At the moment it seems unlikely that 8 government announcement

FDR ToAct On Status Of Mon Power

Washington, March 14-(UP)- President Roosevelt was expected to act today to meet the serious threat to war production posed by the prospect of heavy inductions of heretofore deferred workers by draft boards reluctant to call up fathers
 Describing the industrial man. power situation as "very serious," Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt and War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson discussed the deferment question with MT. Roosevelt yester- day, and McNutt stid 8 new direct i've probably would be issued today.
 A new decision to slow down re- classification and inductions of de- ferred workers would have the net effect of squirting the draft of fath- CTS.

 East coast observers saw forma- tionS of bombers flying toward the continent around noon, and soon thereafter the Paris and LuXem- bourg radio stations went off the air.
 Explosive and incendiary bombs tore up railway tracks, set fire to cars and warehouse and wrecked other installations at Le Mans, one of the main functions through which pass troops, ammunition and
