 The dispatch reported that sol diers all along the Italian front never have agreed with those who express concern over historical or religious structures, especially when the sparing of them means an extra expenditure of Allied lives.
 Lord Beaverbrook'S London Daily Express in an editorial protested that the Hives of our men must not be sacrificed to preserve the once hal- lowed stones which now shelter Ger man troops"
 The Allied commands warning that the monastery founded by st.. Benedict in the year 529 would be Shelled as a German fortress fol- lowed a similar statement Satur- day that Allied bombers might "of necessity" bomb CaStel Gandolfo, site of the Pope's summer farm, be- cause of large concentrations of German troops there.

Outmatch Crack Units Rushed In From France
Continued from Page D

Battling from house to house through the rubble-l Uttered streets of Cassino, the Americans hacked out 20O-yard gain in the enemy lines-their biggest advance in the 12-day-old struggle that has left the once-famous resort town @ Shamb1es.
 GA German communique said American troops drove to the cer1- ter of Casino yesterday but claim ed this penetration was later elim- inated)
 Allied heavy bombers were grounded by bad weather again yesterday, but hundreds of medium bombers and fighters swooped low over the Anzio beachhead, bomb ing and machine-gunning enemy troop coln entrations and road lies.
 No Opposition
 Other Allied planes were reported in action in the Casino sector, meeting virtually no enemy opposi- ton.
 The Allied communique said stiff fighting continued in the Aprilia sector of the 5th Army beachhead yesterday, with both British and German forces attacking and counter attacking repeatedly in a violent, See-Saw battle.
 Headquarters spokesmen reported, however, that the Naz attacks ap- peared to be less intense than in recent days, suggesting either that German losses had taken the string from their offensive or that they were regrouping for another at tempt to drive the Allies into the sea.
 Only slight German aerial activ- ity was reported from the beach, head yesterday, but it was disclosed officially that other Allied evacua- tion hospital was bombed Saturday night during German raid on An zo, causing some casualties.
 Hospital Bombed
 It was the second time in less than a week that German airmen bombed Allied hospital units in the beachhead area, and still third medical station was hit by enemy shellfire last week.
 The Allied communicate said Bri- tish troops launched several local attacks on their sector of the Anzio front yesterday. and official sources said they made a short local ad- vance across the railroad line west of Aprilia.
 German units, however, re-occu- pied a canning factory just east of the town, where some of the Hercest fighting of the campaign had been in progress for days.
 German flame throwing tanks were reported in action against the British for the first time in the three-week-old beachhead battle but front dispatches indicated they were being held in check by Allied tank deStroyers and artillery fire.
 (The Axis-controlled Vichy radio said the Allied beachheads had re- ceived important" reinforcements and added that American troops were on the attack in the Cis- terna area. There was no official word of any major action in that sector yesterday, however,
 Headquarters sources said the Al. lied lines had not changed inpor. tantly siTlce Feb. 3, apart from some German advances around Apriia, and reported that 2,O00 Mad

prisoners have been taken since the 4th army landing was made on Jan. 2.
 The German 715th division, re- gently rushed into the Beachhead from southern France, has been cut up badly in the past weeks fight ing, these spokesmen said.
 Increased Fury
 On the main Fifth Army front, American armored forces struck with increasing fury at German units holding out inside Casino and in the hills above the town, in an effort to break through the Na2i lines to relieve their comrades ill the Arlzio beachhead.
 Fighting their way from hoE, to house under heavy enemy fire. the Americans knifed 200 yarCs deeper into the southern end of the town, capturing scores of make shift Nazi pillboxes and mahcine gun nests.
 North of the town, the Americans attacked strong German positions OH Abbey Hill, and it was indicated that Allied artillery was about to begin bombardment of the ancient Benedictine monastery on it's crest, if 1t had not already done so.
 (Radio Rome said Allied guns continued" to shell the monastery this norning)
 Allied spokesmen charged the Germans had fortified the mon- aStery and were using 1t as an ob- servation post. and warned that the Nazi gunners would be driven out at all costs.
 Limited Activity
 Elsewhere on the the 5th army front and on the British Army's Adriatic line only limited patrol acc tivity was reported.
 The Allied communicate said American and British planes flew 800 sortieS yesterday and did some excellent bombing"
 In addition to bombing and straf- ing enemy positions in the battle area. one raiding formation pounded the Bucini Viadudct north of Rome.
 (Axis broadcastS said Allied planes bombed two sections of Rome Sat- urday night, causing some damage and casualties. Allied sources did not confirm the alleged attack, ale though it was pointed out that British Wellington bombers cpeR. ated in the area of the Italian cap. ital during the night)

 Chinese and American forces fighting through north Burma al- ready have begun the first assault of the Japanese cordon," Stilwell said. "The Ledo road (from India to China) is progressing satisfactor- lily in spite of extremely unfavorable weather conditions. At present, how ever, China is totally dependent up- on air transport and needs an inn mediate and continued increase in supplies"
 His statement reflected the scope of preparations long under way here to receive and accommodate in the Chinese hinterland uplaneS of all types.
 Although the details and descrip- ton of these preparations were withheld, the necessary airdromes and other facilities needed will be provided in time and st the right paces.

 The newspaper Dagens nyheter reported that the Finnish military attache had arranged a reception at the legation today for all prorni- nent Films now in Stockholm, in- cluding Interior Minister Leo Ebrn- rooth, and former Foreign Minister Elias Erkko. Mrs. PaaSikivi will at- tend without her husband, the newspaper said, causing speculation that he would be busy elsewhere, al- though there was no indication ot his possible activity.
 Ehrnrooth arrived by ship from Helsinkk yesterday.
 Virtanen Returns
 Aatos Virtanen, former member ot the foreign affairs committee of the Finnish Riksdag (parliament), who came to Stockholm Feb. 2, returned to Helsinki yesterday but it was unlikely that he was entrusted with an important mission since he al- ways has strongly opposed Vaino Tanner, who is acting Finnish pre- mier.
 Among the reports circulating was one that Paasikivi was scheduled to become head of a new Finnish gov- erlnent soon. It was understood that he may become premier later but this report appeared premature at the moment.
 Official United States quarters were silent but unusual activity at the legation since Paasikivi's arr rrival indicated-as was logical in view of Secretary of State Cordell Hull's note to Finland suggesting an end to the war-that the Amer jeans were following developments very closely.
 Favorable Reaction
 One important point according to a reliable Finnish source, was that the people of Finland were taking news of the peace moves favorably.
 A reliable private source reported that Runssian bombers were active again over Finland last night and a Finnish communique reported that there was strong Soviet air activity over Northern Finland Sat- urday night.

 American Marauders also flew 200 Sorties over the French coast yesterday, all without loss. The raiders encountered only slight fighter opposition, but heavy anti aircraft fire.
 The Germans sent a slightly larger than usual raiding force against England last night, but it was only tiny fraction of the formations that have been raiding Axis Europe almost daily and nightly. Four raiders were shot down.

 Hartford, Conn, Feb. 14-(UP)- With the Fourth War Loan drive ending Tuesday night, Connecticut was within $20,OOO,000 of its $426,- 100000 overall goal at noon today.
 Only corporate purchases, how ever, went over the top before the campaign closed. These amounted to $332, 0O,000 against a quota of $302,- 100000.
 Purchases of 'E'' bonds were $36, = 300,000 against quota of $60.000- 900 but officials were optimistic they would pull up sharply in the remaining 24 hours.
