Spies Have Eosy Road

London, March 13. (UP)-Tens oi thousands of troops would be needed to close the Eire-Ulster border, winding ts it does through wild hill country in the west and remote agri- cultural districts in the east, and this makes the Irish Sea the only logical dividing line in the British United States efforts to isolate Fire.
 Although only one major rail line connects Belfast and Dublin, 0 well-organized espionage group would have no difficulty crossing the border at will.
 The segregation of both north and South Ireland, still leeves the operation of considerable groups oS United Sattes forces in North Tree land in full view of Axis agents. Large airfield installations through out Ulster and the naval base at Londonderry are probably known in minutest detail by German and Japanese representative in Dublin
 Understaffed Fire and British customs agents have been unable to cope with large escale smuggling activities since the beginning of the war. Women in Belfast openly dis- cuss shoes, lingerie, stockings and they were able to buy in Dublin and smuggle across the line. and in border towns professional do a thriving business
 Needless to say, vital information can be taken in either direetio1 with even less trouble than contsW- band.

By c. R. CUNNINGHAM United Press War Correspondent

Allied Headquarters, Naples March l3(UP)--Allied long-range guns raked German positions around the Anzio beachhead with good effect yesterday. but bad weather grounded most of the op- posing aerial forces and limited ground fighting throughout Italy to isolated patrol clashes, a communi- que announced today.
 The bombardment ripped through enemy front line positions and the network of roads leading down to the beachhead from Rome in an apparent effort to prevent the Nazis from massing In strength for an- other thrust at the Allied lines.
 Supporting the 5th Army gunners, small formations of Allied fighters and fighter-bombers ranged over the beachhead throughout the day, bombing and strafing enemy concentrations and transport at Campo Leone, Gezano, Cisternia and Velletn.
 Not Q single enemy plane at- tempted to interfere with the Allied Air forces on the Anzio front.
 Allied and German skirmishers stabbed repeatedly at the opposing lines, but the rains and mud pre- vented any large-scale infantry or armored operations.
 Similar conditions begged down

United Press War COrrespOndent)
 London, March l3.-(UP)-A high official source said today that the growing combat reluctance of the German air force might cause Lt Gen. Carl A. Spaatz to announce his bombing targets in advance as direct challenge to the Nazis to come up and fight.
 The source said reguglar broad cast to Germany announcing that American bombers were on the way to 8 specified target might be the only way and the logical last re- course in the attempt to get the Nazi fighter squadrons into the air,
 The Luftwaffe is not yet licked, but Allied air leaders have got its number If they have not yet got 1t down, the informant said.
 Spaatz, commander of U. s. stra- tegic air forces over Europe, was represented as prepared to adopt extreme measures soon in an effort to draw the German fighters aloft so the Americans can get at them and carry through an intensifying campaign of elimination before the invasion of western Europe.
 The Germans still have consider able fighter strength. the official source warned, and the first clear day on which American bombers strike deep into the Reich they are likely to run into heavy battles.
 But the source believed that the air would be decisive If the weather over the continent could be elim-

c. s. Sanctions WiU
 Be Poser For Irish
BY JOHN A. REICHNIANN United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, March l3-(UP)-A diplomatic procedure which already has paid dividends for the United States application of economic sanctlons-may Do applied to Fire If she persists in refusing to eXpel Axis diplomats, we'll informed quart- CTS believed today.
 The notes exchanged between the Anglo American and Irish capitals left no doubt of Allied concern over the presence of enemy agents on Irish soil while second front pre- parations are underway nearby, and many observers felt that economic pressure may follow London's im- position of restrictions on travel be- tween Britan ad the Irsh homelad.
 The Ulted States is not directly pledged from refraining from the future use of force against Fire but diplomats here were of the opinion that such an overtly drastic pro- cedure would rdo more harm than good,
 Instead, they said, the United States could well use vigorous econ omic policies which would approach q blockade-though 1t would never be called that and thereby make It's displeasure felt sharply by shut

 Asks Fire Bon

London, March 13.-(UP)-Prof, D. L. Savory. conservative member of parliament from northern Ire- land, will aske Prime Minister Win ston Churchill to apply sanctions against Fire at the next session of Commons.
 Savory is expected to assert that the maintenance of Axis represen- tatives in Dublin is inconsistent with Fires membership in the Brit ish commonwealth. He planned to ask Churchill this question:
 "In view of the refusal of Fire to dismiss the German Minister and the Japanese Consul, does the Brit ish government propose to continue to supply Fire with coal, petrol, tea and other commodities at the risk of British seamen?"
 Churchill is expected to make a statement dealing with the circum- stances leading up to the imposition of the travel ban on Fire.
 IL is estimated that new trade re- strictions will cut traffic between Britain and Ulser alone by 80 to 90 per cent.

Pope Pleads 'Spore Rome
BY PHIL AULT
United Press Staff Correspondent

UnlScO FreSS Statt correspondent
 London, March l3-- (UP) Pope Plus XII appealed once again to the armies battlinh for the so-much martyred city of Rome yesterday to spare the eternal city.
 Speaking to throng of Romans from ba' ,ony overlooking rain soaked St. Peters Square where the sounds of the Anzio beachhead guns sometimes can be heard and warplanes seen overhead-the Pom tiff said that to turn Rome into Q field of battle or theater of war would be Ian act as inglorious mil itarily as 1t is abdominable in the eyes of God and humanity"
 We therefore once more appeal to the clear-sightedness and wisdom of responsible men on both belliger- ent sides who would not associate themselves with an act that no mo- tive can ever justify in the eyes of history, but would rather turn their thoughts, their endeavors, desires and efforts toward firm and last ing liberating peace" he said.
 "The whole impact of aerial war fare comes down upon the city daily. The raids are acts which, from 6 military point of view, are inglorious and mortally indefensible.
 Again I turn to those responsible on both sides to use all means at their disposal to put an end to such cruel deeds and to help bring about peace for which they will be blessed and not cursed by centuries to come"
 "Viva II Papa"
 The Popt, speaking in Italian on the fifth anniversary if his corona ton, was interrupted by cheering and cries of "Viva Il Papa" when he made this statement. His l9- minute address was broadcast by the Vatican radio and recorded here.
 Tn this especially grave hour for the so-much martyred city of Rome torn in her living flesh, her in habitants mutilated and wounded in horrible fashion, where sufferings have been most sharp and daily

British Strike Flares Anew

London, March 13.-(UP) - The coal strike believed settled yester- day by a back -to-work vote of strik- CTS, flared up again today as miners in South Wales held pithead meet ings and decided not to resume work until their position is clarified.
 The South Wales movement threatened to sweep the entire coal field in spite of urgent appeals by the miners leaders headed by Com munist chairman Arthur Horner. Approximately half of the 100000 striking miners in north and south Wales, Durham, England and Ayr shire, Scotland, voted yesterday to return to work.
 The reversal of Sundays decision at pithead meetings resulted in all l2 collieries in the Aberdare region remaining idle, while only two of the 10 at the Monmouthshire re- stunned work. The strike started at

 As New Base
BY WILLIAM r. THREE
United Press War Correspondent

Uulteu fTeSS WAT NOrreSpOnueuG
 Pearl Harbor, March 13-(UP)- U. s. Marines frightened the ring around the isolated Japanese forces in the western Marshalls today with the occupation of Wotho Atoll, a group of 13 small islands 240 miles south of Eniwetok, for new base of operations in the Pacific offen- siVe.
 Although the date of the landing was not disclosed, 8 communique by Adm. Chester w. Niinitz said no re- sistance was encountered by the American troops, Q detachment of the 22nd Marine regiment under Mai. o. B. Lawton, Fairfax, s. O.
 Seizure of Wotho Atoll, of which the largest island also is named Wotho, gave the Americans their fourth atoll in the last moi.th and @ half. The landinL was effected by o small amphibious unit of the Paci- fic fleet, after which Lawton im- mediately set up a military govern ment for the islands.
 Wotho, about 100 miles north west of American positions on Roi and Namur Islands, offers the Americans a lagoon of about 25 square miles with three entrances on the west side. However, It con- tains many reefs.
 The island of Wotho, in the northeastern part Of the atoll, is about Q mile wide and mile and a half long, and is believed to be the only populated island of the group, Tn 1885, only 47 natives lived on the island.
 Natives were reported friendly to the landing clements and preferred the Marines candy and food.
