"Qti& Un and Two to Go'TSay,
Roosevelt
; . By HOWARD FLEIGER
i'- WASHINGTON, June 5-iT-Hailing the capture of Rome with
'the jubilant phrase, "one up and two to go,w President Roose
velt declared tonight that the aim nowis to drive Gerrnany "to
the point where she will be unable to recommence world con
quest a generation hence. i, . '' l ,;;:! '
'- Mr. Roosevelt, in a nation-wide radio broadcast, cautioned that
this struggle with the axis would
be tough and costly and that the
day of Germany's sufrender "lies
some distance ahead." : ; 1.
Whether - hie " reaffirmation
that the flchA woald be pressed
until Germany surrenders mas a
reply to the reeeat speech of
Pope Flas XH was not stated.
The pepe asserted last week that
the Idea that the war mast end
either in complete victory or
complete destruction is a stints
,laat toward proloaciag the een
4 flkt and expressed hope for an
, early peace. - ; ; V
Speaking of Rome as the great
symbol of Christianity, the pre
sident declared Mit will be a source
of deep satisfaction that the free
dom of the pope and of Vatican
City is assured by the armies of
the United Nations." . , . '
r Bnt he declared that no
thanks are doe Hitler and his
renerals "If Some was spared
the devastation which the Ger
mans wreaked on Naples and
ether Italian cities." .
! "The allied 1 generals maneu
vered so skillfully," he said, "that
the nans could; only have stayed
long enough to damage . Rome at
the risk of losing their armies."
, Our A victory " , Mr. Roose
velt asserted, "comes at an e
. eelleet time, , while . ear .allied
" forces are , poised for another
, strike at western Earepe and
while armies of other nasi sol
iters nervously await oar as
sault. And oar gallant Russian
allies . continue to make their
power felt more and more."
The president extended to It
aly the invitation to help in es
tablishing a lasting peace and
said, " All the other nations op
posed to fascism and naxism should
help give Italy a chance.
fThe Germans, after years of
. domination In Rome, left the
people in the eternal city on
the verge of starvation. We and
the British will do everything
, we can to bring them relief. We
have already begun to save the
. lires ; of the men, women and
children of Rome."
The Italian people "are capa
ble of, self-government," Mr.
Roosevelt continued. "We do not
lose sight of their virtues as a
peace-loving nation."
Speaking of the military opera
tions still to come in Europe, the
president said: .
?We shall have to push
through a long period of greater
effort and fiercer fighting be
fore we get Into Germany Itself.
. The Germans have retreated
i thousands of miles, all the way
' from the gates of Cairo, through
. Libya and Tunisia and Sicily
and southern Italy.
; . 'They have suffered heavy los
! les, but not great enough yet to
i cause collapse."
i I In Italy, the president said, the
people had lived so long "under
j the corrupt rule of Mussolini, that,
j: in spite of the tinsel at the top,
I their economic condition had
: I grown steadily worse. Our troops
t have found starvation, malnutri
Mion, disease, a deteriorating edu
cation and lowered public health
: all by-products of the fascist
' misrule. ' ' ' ' '
"The task of the allies la oe
. capatioa has been stapendons,";
he continued. "We have had to
start at the very bottom, as
sisting local governments' to re
form on democratic lines."
"We have had to give them
i bread to replace that which was
i stolen out of their mouths by the
r Germans. We have had to make
It possible for the Italians ; to
raise and use their own: local
' crops.' We have ' to help them
cleanse . their schools' of . fascist
trappings." ' ' '-;
Mr. Roosevelt said the American
people approve "the salvage of
; these human beings who are only
' now learning to walk in a new at
mosphere of freedom." . ' .

by supreme headquarters. There
was no chance to hide the great
convoys- with only . about live
hours darkness on the channel-
On several occasions thousands
of troops, even with correspond
ents aboard, sailed out in great
fleets to almost within shell range
of German defenses in Europe as
though they were going to attack
while nazi reconnaissance planes
clotly checked convoys.
- These feints have been carried
out on widely separated points.
The supreme command made no
bones about its intention to attack
but the surprise was that the Ger
mans did not know ' where the
main blow was coming. .
In four previous big amphibious
landings to date the allies obtain
ed tactical surprise three times
at -Anzio, Sldly, and North Af
rica. At Salerno the ' Germans
guessed the landing spot and were
waiting. '" '. '
During the 48 hours previous to
the landings RAF and American
bomber fleets dropped a stupen
dous tonnage of bombs on the
west wall's defenders.
A panopy of American and
British bombers and f I gh t ejr s
turned the Todt fortifications OA
which Hitler had pinned his hopes
Into a jumping, jagged mass of
flames.
On the fringes of the attack big
gray battlewagons of the sea slip
ped through the channel waters,
awaiting any challenge from the
battered nazi fleet 9
.The western front opening1 cli
maxed years of patient prepara
tion by the top military minds of
America and Britain, and hard
work in factories and munitions
plants by millions of Americans
and Britons.
The plan of attack was the
same which General Eisenhower
had when he came to England in
June, 1942, but which was shelved
during the improvised North Af
rican operation.
This morning the sweat and toil
of the factory worker of America
and Britain,! and the cool planning
of the military men of both coun
tries bore fruit.
Every weapon that has proved
its worth since Pearl Harbor was
in the hands of the fighting men
of the United Nations.
What success they would meet
no one could say with certainty.
No such attempt has been made
in warfare before on such a huge
scale to storm a continent from
the sea against fixed defenses.
Eisenhower and the supreme al
lied staff had left as little -as pos
sible to chance.
Several weeks ago all the air
forces in the United Kingdom
were placed under the strategic
command of SHAEF to pave the
way for the landings.
The strategic air, forces, under
LL Gen. Carl A. Spaatz were as
signed to the task of smashing the
German aerial reserves by bomb
ing aircraft factories deep In Ger
many. Theirs was the job of mak
ing the nazi air force's once mighty
fleet incapable of sustained effort
against ourj ground forces. The
Fortresses and liberators also
were given the task of breaking
up the rail system of western
France. j ... - .
The RAF under Air Chief Mar
shal Sir Arthur T. Harris was giv
en a similar order, only its. pri
mary targets, were railroads. .:
4 The Ninth air force under Lt.
Gen. Lewis; H. Brereton, along
with the Second RAF-tactical air
force, waa assigned selected, tar
gets along the west wall itself.
' The allies did not hope to knock
out everything from the air, but
to cripple and hamper German
troops movements.

An ancient feud in the city hall
flared: again Monday night as
state bureau of labor wage claim
for two city street or sewer de
partment employes overtime was
brought before the council. The
claim for $12.96 is an outgrowth
of work done March 28 when ref
use .from Paulus Bros, cannery
allegedly clogged a sewer twice
within a 24-hour period and city
employes were sent out to do nee
essary clearance work.
City Recorder Alfred Mundt,
who bar previously maintained
that City Engineer, J. H. Davis's
overtime payrolls are irregular,
refused to pay for the overtime
put in on the sewer job, declaring
that the city ordinance against us
ing sewers as dumping places for
cannery offal had been violated
and that the packing plant should
have paid for the-work.
Whether the cannery had ever
been billed was not explained last
night, but the labor bureiu'i
claim, presented first on May 10
with the request that it be taken
to the council, did reach the coun
cil, which voted to pay the wages
and charge the cannery for the
work done. -

from the varnish, dry but not un
affected by the warm night, they
