Allied Bombs
BIost Balkans

Allied Headquarters Algiers, jan
uary Is. - (UP) - The American
heavy bombing offensive was
switched to Axis railroad centers in
the Balkans yesterday, while attack
planes pounded German troops and
supply lines all across the battle
front in Italy.
Bad weather prevented repet1-

on NaI communications around
Rome, but the 18th Air Forces Fly
ng Fortresses and Liberators struck
heavily at the Vrattsa rail yards
north Of Sofia and the Skoplje yards
in southeastern Jugoslavla.
Fighter escorted forts hit Vrattsa
with little or no opposition, and
returning crewmen reported their
bombs had cut in half the important
railway yards through which Ger
man supplies had been moving down
to the Black Sea coast and eastern
Greece.
The Liberator formation that
raided Skoplje, a junction point on
the main railway lines into Greece,
Bulgaria and Rumania, ran into a
heavy overcast over the target area
which prevented accurate observa-
ton.
Thirty-five enemy fighters chal-
lenged the raiders, and six were

Nazi CounterAttacks
Gain Some Successes

With Allied Invasion Forces South
of Rome, Jan. 24-6 P. M.-12

launched their long expected coun-
ter attacks against the Allied
bridgehead below Rome today and
gained some temporary successes as
the battle see-sawed back and forth
across a canal with both sides at
tempting to hold bridges.
(Homer Bigart, American CORE
spondent, reported that German
reinforcements, rushed down from
Rome for the defense of an impor-
tant communications center on a
highway, recaptured two bridges
across a canal.
CT'he enemy was driven from one
bridge on the highway, but only
after he had demolished the span,
and American forces were locked
with the Germans in an effort to
regain the second bridge. Recon-
Nuisance planes spotted consider

(He also reported that German
tanks at one point penetrated the
Allied bridgehead for almost a mile
before artillery drove them off.
Both sides employed infantry

but vigorous fighting along the
canal as the Germans felt out AL

Within one-half mile area, I saw

Allied forces attacked another

At one point, two German tanks

The terrain was perfect for tank

any major advance with tank sup

REDS SWEEP
TO CAPTURE
KEY JUNCTION

Moscow, January IS. -
(UP) - Russian armored
forces swept through the
suburbs of Krasnogvardeisk,
25 miles southwest of Lenin-
grad, today and threatened
to capture momentarily that
key junction controlling the
main escape routes for tens
of thousands of Germans
facing enlightenment.

The fall of Krasnogvardeisk would
deprive the Germans Of the sole

their crumbling defenses southwest,

force them to fall back nearly so

Germans in the Leningrad area
were cut off from reinforcements

by a Soviet thrust across the Kras-

Krasnogcardeisk.
The Germans battled fiercely In
an attempt to save the supply line,
but were thrown back with a loss Of

South of Leningrad, the Russians
reduced the twin fortresses of Push

Local Oil
Man Fined
For Neglect

S. Burton Spirit, 81, 1856 Farm
ington avenue, president and treas
urer of the General Oil Corpora
ton, was fined 500, in city court
this morning on a charge of allow
ing oil to flow into a sewer; after
Judge T. E. Conway scored the de-
PENDANTS cutter disregard for the
reasonable enforcement of city Or
dinances." Payment of $50 of the
fines was suspended for one year.
The case was appealed to Common
Pleas court under $500 bonds.
City Plumbing Inspector James
r. Walker; Superintendent of
Streets Herbert Scott Smith, and
Detective Joseph Dunphy testified
that about SO to go gallons of fuel
oil had flowed into the street from
the General Oil Station on Meadow
and Bank streets on the morning
of January 8. Mr.. Scott-Smith said
he was forced to send men with
load of sand twice to prevent
people from slipping on the oil
which accumulated in puddles on
the ice and snow.
Mr.. Spirit said he knew nothing
about how the oil happened to flow
into the street, and said he thought
not more than 10 gallons had been
spilled. His attorney, Perry Graf
cerstein, pointed out that this sta
ton handles some 4 million gallons
of oil per year, and claimed some of
this is bound to spill, particularly
with the present shortage of help.
He asked that the charges be dis
missed and the matter settled by
reasonable negotiations.
Prosecuting Attorney Frederick
w. Palomba replied that if it had
been possible to settle the matter
by reasonable negotiations, the
charges would not have been
brought.
Prosecutor Palomba then recalled

Massachusetts officials of the Amer
lean Legion charge that the govern

jectors but is treating our willing
fighters despicably."
State Adjutant Coleman c. Cur
ran said in a statement last night
that "our government should worry
more about the future of our boys
who are doing the actual fighting
and less about the s1ackers." He
censured what he termed "a rou-
tine practice" at Fort Devens OF
forcing men to sign waivers to their
compensation claims on grounds
that their medical discharges were
the result OF injuries suffered prior
to induction.
Curran cited the case of a Lowell

Of service"
This boy, only 20 years old, was
discharged as undesirable while con-
valescing at the San Diego Naval
Hospital" Curran reported. II
don't care what he did after he was
shell-shocked and wounded In the
sinking of the Quincy - he never
should have been discharged as un-
desirable by an ungrateful Navy"
A Quincy man, now appearing be-
fore the Medical Board, may be
given a mental DISCHARGE IN grounds
that his father was shell-shocked
while serving in World War I. Cur

Italy Patriots Near
Rome Contact Allies

Madrid, Jan. 25.-UP)-Italian
patriot groups near Rome have es-
tablished radio contact with Allied
invasion forces and are signaling
the extent and direction of fran
tic" German troop and material
movements within the city, reports
from German-held Italy said today.
The patriots, operating from hide
outs in the city's suburbs, were
understood to have reported fever
iSh German defense measures in the
face of the advancing Fifth Army.
German Marshal Albert Kesser-
ring, italian sources said, hastily
was transferring his headquarters
from the area of Frascati, 10 miles
south of Rome's center, to point
at a safe distance" to the north
All German ammunition dumps and
army reserve units also were being
rushed out of the city to points of
vantage northward, it was reported.
Kesselring withdrew his headquar-
tiers not only to escape Allied bomb
ings, patriot sources said, but in
fear he would be cut off by the Al
lies orlVlng up the coast from Net
tuno and AnZio.
The patriots, calling themselves
"guerriglieri," were said to be oper-
ating from scattered headquarters
in such suburban towns as Fras-
cati, Marino and Castlganddolfo
and from Cisterna, Corr and Piperno
to the south.
Stockholm dispatches reported
that three important bridges in the
Rome area were destroyed by
Italian partisans aided by Allied
parachute units.)
italian reports said the Romans
were making no effort to conceal
their joy at the approach of the
Americans and British despite
stern repressive measures by Ger
man occupation authorities.
Crowds were reported gathering
on hilltops within the city daily
since the Allied landing to listen
for and cheer the gunfire which
has grown more audible each day.

French Coost
Hammered

London, Jan. 25-(UP)- Hun
dreds of Allied planes hammered
the French invasion coast for the
third straight day today and radio
Berlin said "Anglo-A American"
bombers were over the NaN capital
during the night.
Observers along the channel coast
reported that SwarmS of bomberS
and fighters crossed the Straits of
Dover early this morning to resume
the aerial bombardment of Nazi
military installations in northern
France.
Squadrons of Allied warplanes
could be seen clearly over all Sec
tons of the narrow straits, indicat-
ing that the attack was on a major
scale.
The German radio said that a
force OF Allied bombers struck at
Berlin in the pre-dawn darkness
today, although there was no i'm
meditae confirmation from the Brit
ish air ministry.
British coastal observers reported
no activity over the channel during
the night and it was indicated that
the raid, if it actually occurred, may
have been a mosquito attack.
Radio Berlin said the raiders
were forced to jettison their bombs,
but it gave no details of the reported
assault and omitted the customary
reference to British terror tactics
which usually follow major Raj
blows against the Reich.
Radio Paris reported that Basic,
Switzerland, had an air raid alert
during the night, raising the posi-
bility that Italian-based Allied
planes might have hit Germany.
