PLANS PERFECTED

Foreign economic administra-

had been perfected months ago
for civilian relief in Rome, since
its fall was expected shortly after
the Anzio landing.
They pointed out. however, that
this responsibility will be a great
drain on Allied supply lines. Only
the least productive areas of Italy
have been taken. The Germans
still hold the best wheat lands.
And yet the Allies now have taken
the greatest population center
where food has been desperately
short for months. and where bread
rations have been cut TO one

neutrality.

for peace" Tittman said. "but
