 The Lang Gang" operated be- tween Rome and Naples, robbing AL lied officers and civilians to finance drinking bouts and expensive par ties for their unidentified Italian girl friends, Wilson said.
 Among other things, they were accused of stealing Polish Genera Anders' automobile, Kidnapping sev- eral military policemen, and killing a Rome cafe owner.
 Military authorities withheld the name of the hunted Chicago gum man, apparently a native Italian who returned to his country some years ago. He was said to have organized his gang after escaping from an Italian prison where he was serving 8 20-year sentence.

 Nlmits's South Pacific forces were revealed belatedly to have strengthened their hold on the east- ern approaches to the Philippines with an unopposed landing last Sept. 20 and 2i on Uiithl atoll, a coral-ringed island group poo miles east of Mindanao and zoo miles northeast of American-occupied Pelelius in the southern Palaus.
 "The possibility that the enemy may not have been immediately aware of these landing led to the withholding of this information until this time," Nimitz said in 6 communique.
 Though already in rear area In comparison with American bridge- heads in the Palau and Halmahera groups, the latter 200 miles south of Mindanao, occupation of Ulithi in the western Carolines gave the American command another sup ply base for an ultimate assault on the Philippines.

 Halsey's 3rd fleet, described by an eye witness as stretcning beyond the horizon, already was credited with seriously weakening Japan's ability to repel any invasion thrust against the Philippines as result of it's blis- tering attacks during the past nine days on the enemy,s inner bases from Luzon to the Ryukyu islands, the latter 200 miles from his home land.
 Carrier planes during the period sank 73 enemy ships and q small craft and destroyed 865 to 880 planes for e loss of 58 of their own. Not a single American ship has been lost, despite Japanese claims of hay. ing sent to the bottom as many as 52 of them.

 The plain fact is we have con. slderably extended our supply line. This applies Co the American frof as well as tho British and Canadia fronts.
 This is as obvious to tho Germans aS it is Co us, and we can expect Q dlfticult fight on the west side of Holland for every communications center.
 This campaign to reinforce and shorten the supply and maintenance lines must he won before the battle for Germany can shift into high gear.
 Along the 0verloon- -Venray high. way we are encountering the first mine fields of any consequence since Normandy--evidence that the Ger mans have been busy during the breathing spell.
 A factor which military leaders have foreseen for two years now has come into play.
 While we have pursued the Ger mans, cutting their transport and armies to ribbons, We have chased them back to the borders Of Ger. many. Tn SO doing, we have Siaort- ened to nearly one-thlrd the dc. fensive line they must man.
 We have shattered their tanks and artillery al lalong the way, but what they have left is banked tread to tread and hub to hub along tho Siegfried line. We are operating over territory they have held for four years, and their guns are rang. cd in and operated at the very points on which they knew we must concentrate.
 Then there's the weather. Even if the normal rain and snow come, this country Is going to be hen. Already the fiat Dutch fields are bogs in which tanks cannot operate. The fighting must be done on the hard roads. And 1t is against them that the Germans can concentrate their mines, mortars, artillery and men,

 In addition, the summary showed that during this period the two fleets and their airmen sank 366 Japanese ships and probably sunk or damaged $40.
 American aircraft lost in combat totalled S4l in all of these opera tions, or a ratio of better than nine to one over the Japanese. Forrestal did not list the hundreds of small enemy craft sunk or damaged.
 Commenting on Japanese mer- chant losses which constituted the greater portion of the sea destruc- ton wrought on the enemy, F'orres- tai said that they are undoubtedly now at point where 1t is limiting their free movement over the sea.
 These losses" he added, "are now hitting below the point at which we had expected they would encounter serious difficulties"
 Recent strikes by the two fleets along Japanese defense lines run- ming from the Marianas down into the Philippines. he said, are 'the opening moves in the unremitting pressure that is to be applied against Japan in the Western Pa cific."
