'Mass Reinforcements As j Allies Try tQ Protect Supplies By Edward Kennedy 1 ALLIED HINDQUARTERS j Algierty Feb. lO (AP)- Superior German forcesjllashed with rising power at the entire 30-mile perimeter of the allied beachhead near Rome in the past 24 hours, probing for a weak point against which they might throw menand armor in an allrput assault on American and British troops who have been fighting almost continuously for 16 days. ; : il ' ' The violence of nazi artillery fire was increasing, and dispatches said advanced allied forces were being supplied only at great risk. ven t h o u g h the allied air force struck with overwhelming power at the ene my s immediate communications, with fighters operating from an improvised j landing strip on the beachhead itself, the Germans still appeared to be massing reinforce ments of men and tanks. "In order to try to give the blitzed and war weary German people their first big victory since Marshal Rommel's last desert drive, -Hitler is throwing the book at the beachhead," wrote Kenneth Dixon of the Associated Press. Allied -pilots say the German airmen over the beachhead are the toughest yet seen in the Mediter ranean theatre,' and they are in greater numbers than previously met over Italy. ; The German, ground troops, too, are ; powerful including the, 26th parueridlrision veteTanaf-of Rus sia. They are V willing to " spend many lives to gain a little ground, he noted. - 'Everything points to one ob vious conclusion the German high command has ordered the beachhead knocked out regard less of cost.' ; He predicted that the full Ger man counter - offensive probably would come from the north. To combat the German thrusts, Homer Bigart, New York Herald Tribune correspondent, told how the 'British used a "timed crash" of artillery fire this morning (Turn to Page 2 Story C) British Aid Yugoslavs By WILLIAM SMITH WHITE LONDON, Feb. 10 -yP)- Bri tish,; forces were declared tonight to be fighting side by side with the (Yugoslav partisans against the Germans on the island of Hvar off the Dalmatian coast. How they entered the struggle was, al yet, a mystery. A com munique from partisan headquar ters; of Marshal Josip Broz (Tito) described them only . as "British units." The implication was that they were commandos or other amphibious forces. Tito said they were operating successfully at Veliko Braglye on Hvar,. which is one of the biggest islands of the Yugoslav coast.
