ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NAPLES, Feb. 2l.-The American
and British forces have stopped the
supreme effort of the densely pack
ed German troops to wipe out the
Anzio beachhead and have thrown
the enemy back two miles toward
Carroceto.
Allied Headquarters said the Nazi
steamroller advance, aimed down
the Anziate highway last Wednes-
day morning toward Anzio, the core
of the Allied beachhead, was halted
but only after all elements of AL
lied power was called into play
during "a hours of the most intense
period Of fighting.
Our effort was greatly assisted
by the magnificent support given
by the Allied naval units and AL
lied air formations and by both
British and American artillery"
says the communique.
The German offensive peak was
reached before dawn on Saturday
then American tanks and infantry
under cover of heavy artillery
barrage, began smashing forward
and at $50 am was still rolling
ahead.
Sunday, the intensity of the en-
envy efforts were demonstrated by
the appearance of elements of five
extra Divisions within a one thou
sand yard area and six enemy Di-
visions threw their entire strength
into the assault. Three others were
held in reserve.
The Germans are steadily swell
| ling the armies in italy and they
now number Is Divisions involved
| in Italian actions, nine of these
facing the beachhead. The Divi-
sions are grouped under the Four
teenth German Army with Com
mander Gen. Eberhard Won Mack

front He is son of the First

WASHINGTON, Feb 2l.--I'm not
partial to celebrities in uniform. |
don't mean to discount their sin
cerity, earnestness, courage, OF any
of it. But / can't see any reason
for blowing up Clark Gable or
Robert Montgomery and ignoring
the potential Butch O'Hares or five
Sullivan brothers, whom nobody
ever heard of before And Clark and
Bob, who know all about publicity,
can't see any reason for 1t either.
Both of them have said SO.
All of which is by way Of pre-
cede to the fact that I sat in a
session the other night with Lieut..
Tom Harmon. There are probably
plenty Of folks who are saying
that the former football star has a
flare" for publicity Perhaps he
has. He has had his share of 1t,
what with being lost in the jungles
of Brazil, missing for 80 days be-
hind the Jap lines in China, and
then even amusingly being report
ed missing" for several hours be-
tween Norfolk and Boiling Field,
but he's a sophomore compared to
some wearing uniforms The point
Of 1t all is that no celebrity carries
himself with more honest modesty.
1t wasn't Tom who told us that
he got two Zeros before he was
forced down in China. He talked
mostly about how he would like
to get back to the Tenth Air Force
and how much those fellows out
there hate the Japs, despise them
as nobody probably ever could de-
spise a Nazi.

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMa,or Robert 9. Allen on active dutsJ

WASHINGTON was one
tumultous press conference with
Governor Tom Dewey, recently
which never got into print. 1t was
over the soldiers vote bill, and the
racket-busting prosecutor, who has
sent many a gangster to Jail, skid
ded all over the place trying 70
dodge taking a position.
The conference occurred just after
Dewey telegraphed Senator styles
Bridges of New Hampshire that a
federal ballot which would not list
state. county and other local offices,
was not in accordance with New
York law.
Senator Bridges promptly posted
the Dewey telegram on a Senate
bulletin board, whereupon Albany
newsmen who had been trying I'M
successfully for days to get Deweys
views on the soldiers vote, immed-
lately bounced on him.
When cornered at a press con-
ference in Albany. the young gov
ernor finally explained that upon
the previous Saturday night he had
been on the verge of favoring the
federal ballot for soldiers. But on
Saturday Mrs. Dewey had heard a
radio speech by an Illinois Con-
gresham which she felt was very
effective against the federal ballot
Therefore, Governor Dewey SAID
he was trying to make up his mind
presumably he had been trying to
give Senator Bridges information
about New York law rather than
taking stand himselfo
AT this point newsmen were toio
that this was all off the record, IN
GLIDING even the questions asked OF
Dewey. They claimed that Their
own questions should not be off the
record, whereupon Governor Dewey
replied:
IT don't see why not. That's the
rule at White House press confer
ences"

lately Ordered Soldiers

SEATTLE, Feb. 21-The Post In
telligencer says that a troop-laden
Liberty ship recently split open at
an Alaskan dock.
The 10 ships converted to troop
carriers are now tied up in the
Seattle area by the Army and Navy
refusal to use them.
Senator Mon c. Wallgren, Demo-
crat of Washington, is quoted as
saying the Alaska ship cracking re-
port will BECOME the immediate
concern of the Truman War Inves-
tigating Committee. He said:
Although the ship, the S. S.
Christopher Greenup. had weather.
ed heavy seas, the plates parted be-
cause of stresses in calm, and not
excessively cold weather.
Wallgren reported the ship had
been standing at Cold Bay, Alaska,
on January "a, when the hull ac-
tually opened before the eyes OF
Chief Engineer w. S. Randall.
The Seattle paper said he was
reaching for the valve preparatory
for departure of the soldier-f filled
vessel.

Two Orange Trees Start
To CALIFORNIA; Wealth

In 1873, Mrs. Eliza C. Tibbetts of
Riverside, Calf, received from the
United States department of agri-
culture at Washington, two small
orange trees of the navel variety,
imported from Bahia, Brazil, and
presumably of Portuguese origin.
1t may have been the Portuguese
who first brought the sweet, or China
orange into Europe; or it may have
been other Genoese seafarers of Co.
lumbus' day who brought it from the
Levant. The sour, or Seville, orange,
was carried from Indo-China to the
Mediterranean shores by the Arabs,
probably during the Ninth or Tenth
century, according to a writer in
So You're Going.
During the era of Mohammedan
conquest, that orange was carried
all over Northern Africa and South
ern Europe. Tons of them 60 daily,
now. into the marmalade pots of
England and many another land.
Soldiers returning from the Cru
sades acquainted Northern Europe
with it. But the sweet orange
seems to have been brought by the
great Portuguese discoveries of Vas
co da Gama's day to their own coun-
try and to the Azores.
1t would be inconceivable that the
Spanish Franciscans who had so
much to do with the early history
of California, should not have done
something with the orange tree.
They did. San Gabriel mission had
orange trees in 1904. But those
two trees of Mrs. Tibbett's are held
to be the great gift man ever made
to California; for they introduced
the golden fruit which has brought
more wealth to the state than all
the mineral gold mined since 1848.
One of them is still bearing.

GrigglerS Are Out

Grigglers no longer visit apple or
chards and remove the few apples
left after the harvest, this ancient
autumn custom having been allowed
to lapse in England. The grigglers
were to orchards what cleaners
were to the fields, for they picked
the apples the farmers did not want,
divided them among their number
and made tarts, jellies and jams for
the winter from the fruit Farmers
once gave them wine and beer and
in turn were toasted with rhyme
and songs.
