possibility that no one would keep

Before he was carried to the hos

With her husband, she has now moved

John Norris may have believed, as

in North Carolina Scorned a started"

Perpetual fires burned on the

charged with the responsibility Of
keeping Rome's holy spark aglow. On
the few occasions on which they al
lowed it to die, all activity in the city
ceased Immediately in the belief that
the connection between heaven and
earth had been broken.
But there were some who believed a
fire became impure with age, causing
disaster, pestilence and crop failure.
New fires had to be laid at regular
intervals TO protect the community.
In many countries the custom still
prevails of striking fresh fires with
steel and flint each Easter Eve.

can Army has sustained a great
loss" and Gen. John J. Pershing,
McNair's commander in the World
War l American Expeditionary
Force, said 'he was great SOL
der and his untimely death will be
a great loss to the army and the
nation"
Mrs. McNair was notified of her
husbands death by Brig. Gen. J..
G.. Christensen, ground forces
chief of staff. A son, Maj. Douglas
C. McNair, is in the field artillery.
The sandy-haired,. soldierly ap-
pearing McNair was at heart an
artillery man through all the vari-
Gus assignments he held in 40
years of military life. This was
reflected in his interest when the
problem of stopping the tank arose
soon after the start of World War
II.
About him McNair gathered a
small group of experts. From their
SIuolCS, SApCIlIllC1lLo, dIiQ lSSOIIl-
mendations grew the present sys-
tenn Of tank-killing, centered about
the use of swift-moving guns with
flat trajectories and high penetrat.
ing powers, the tank-destroyers.
Apparently because of still exis.
tent security reasons, the War de.
partrnent declined to discuss de.
tails of the assignment in which
McNair was serving at the time
of his death.
The far-hung fighting fronts ano
the intensive battles Of this war
together with the reversals suffer
ed at the outset, have brought
much greater casualties to high
ranking officers of the American
forces than in any previous war
In addition to the five genera
officers killed in action and eigh
dead in plane crashes, six art
listed as missing, two died of ma
tural causes while serving in bat
tie zones, 10 (cq) are prisoners O

where they were within eight
miles of the heart of Florence. In
The past three days they had cap
tured more than 100 Nazi para
chute troopers, cream of the enc
ray's forces in Italy.
In beating back one strong Nazi
counterattack below Florence,
South African troops destroyed two
huge enemy tiger" tanks. British
forces inflicted heavy casualties in
driving four miles beyond Greve
to point about 10 miles from
Florence. Other Eighth Army
troops pushing up northwest Of
Poggibonsi were reported within
six miles of Montelup, a commu-
nication center on the Arno 10
miles west of Florence.
Indications grew that American
troops drawn up along the Arno
from the west coast inland would
be force to take the ancient city
of Pisa by storm and perhaps turn
their artillery against the celebrat-
Cd leaning tower, which the Nazis
had converted INTO an observation
post.
From their positions in the por-
ten of Pisa south of the river the
Americans could see the enemy
erecting barricades in the streets
on the opposite side OF the wide
stream and setting up scores of
naehineguns in buildings. T h e
Germans have made no effort to
spare Pisa by declaring it an open
city, as they did in the case Of
Florence.
