Engineers Clearing !
Road Are Only Living
Things in Casino
BY LYNN HEINZERLING.


CASINO, Italy, May 20.-Bull-
dozers were pushing aside what is
left of battered Casino today. max
ing way for the advancing 9Th
Army and mercifully blotting from
view the horrors of war which line
Highway No. 6 through the town.
Casino, once a pleasant town
netting under the protective cliffs
of Monte Casino, is dead There
is nothing living and breathing in
the town today except the South
African engineers clearing path
along Highway and the Allied
troops pushing through the hor-
rible disarray of war to continue
bludgeoning the Germans in the
Hitler Line few miles up the high
way.
The Germans shell the tortured
town occasionally hut engineers as
signed to remove hundreds of mines
and BOBBY traps strewn through the
village have suffered no casualties.
Highway No. now is open for
two-way traffic. Just up the road
at point where the highway turns
sharply to skirt Monastery Hill sits
| the Continental Hotel, grim and
foreboding- fortress the Ger
mans held until the very last.
Tank Marks Hotel Lobby.
Three arches mark the hotel, and
Mark VI German tank still sits
in what once was the small lobby
of the hostelry.
There are signs of "booby traps"
outside the Continental, but the
South African engineers pushed the
rubble from the street up over the
sidewalk against the building and
went on with their work.
The Continental not only covered
the approaches to town from the
highway, it was strong point from
which machine-gun bullets poured
down the road, which received the
name "Spandu alley" from British
troops who occupied the town dur
ing the weeks before it fell.
1t is easy to see why Casino is so
invulnerable from attack from the
east. From the Continental and the
hills behind murderous fire could
be poured on anything coming up
Highway No. 6.
Maj. Erik Todd, South African en-
gineer in charge of clearing the
town, said he found "a terrible num-
ber of bodies in the craters."
Stencil of Death Covers Place.
If any one doubted the destruc-
tiveness of the great air raid against
Casino March Is, proof of it lies
sickeningly before any one who cares
to enter the town.
Great heaps Of gray rubbish
stretch out at the bottom of Mona
stery Hill. Giant bomb craters are
filled with yellowish green water
and the stencil of death is all over
the place.
'Medics were here and wanted us
to treat the water IN the craters
against malaria" Maj. Todd said
with grin, ''but we told them the
mines were much worse than ma
laria. There are BOBBY traps all
over the place"
Maj. Todd said the engineers
didn't intend to clear up the en-
tire town since it was a hopeless
task.
If it lives again, Casino must be
rebuilt from the very beginning.
