"No real threat can materialize unless and until j the Japanese manage . to penetrate to points where they can attack j our rail and river communications or our airfields In Assam Gen! Auchin lek said. - - I I Although Imphal is 175 miles by road from any point on the allied lifeline in the upper Brah maputra valley, it Is only: 75 miles airline across rugged country frnm Vv mil and rvmr . linpa there.) I Gen. Auchinlek based his dis counting of the Japanese threat on their inferiority in the air, which will not permit them to supply their forward columns by plane, and will prevent them from interfering with air supply to al lied troops. !

Behind this raking fire, battle hardened New Zealand infantry slogged forward foot by foot aften engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat At the end of a week of savage fighting the. Germans still were resisting with a ferocity that has characterized their defense of the road to Rome. Fighting fully as bitter raged on the steep slopes of Monastery hill west of Cassino, from which German guns and '. mortars pumped terrifle fire Into the battle areas. Twa mora ' nasi counterattacks against allied held Castle hill, directly above the rabble of ' Cassino, were flung back today. - (The German - controlled Rome radio announced that the nazis would withdraw all military in stallations from Rome and "furth er deviate" military traffic from the Eternal City "so that respon sibility for bombing Rome will re main entirely with the allies" The Germans declared Rome an open city' last August 14 when they said all military installations had been withdrawn.) Describing the swirling battle laid out before him, Lynn Hein zerling of the Associated Press wrote at 4:40 pjn. today: "The flashes of allied shells could be seen as they exploded in the Ger man-held portion of Cassino im mediately at the base of Monas tery hill. Clouds of smoke drifted over the town and valley as the battle grew in intensity without any major change in positions." He said about 30 more German prisoners were taken today, bring ing to 268 the total seized In a week of hard fighting. Allied ob servers estimated that at least inree uerman companies were wiped out in last Wednesday's huge air and artillery bombard ment of Cassino's defenses. Jarvill Files for Council Patrick A.

Bombers from the Solomons continued at midday Monday the campaign ' to rip apart Rabaul's ground defenses. Supply areas and anti-aircraft positions were among targets of the 133 tons of bombs.
