Allies Rush War
Goods to Jugoslavs
By HENRY T. GORRELL
CAIRO U.R Loadi of wtr
material, fresh off liberty ships
juat arrived in Italy from the
United States, constantly are be
ing rushed to the embattled par
tisan forces in Jugoslavia, I am
now permitted to reveal.
What is more, the allies began
hurrying supplies to the army of
Marshal Gen. Josip Broz (Tito)
across the Adriatic sea almost
from the moment that the Italian
ports of Brindisi, Bari, and Bar
letta became available to the al
lied fleets.
I was In Barl for several weeks
with the British navy after the
eighth army occupied that strate
gic port, and there I . saw an
amazing shuttle service by scores
of little caiques, or llsmng smacKS,
arriving in Italy, Jam-packed
with Jugoslav refugees, only to
depart as quickly as they could
be loaded with vital supplies for
Tito's men.
' Security regulations were very
strict at the time and there were
two occasions when I was almost
literally kicked off piers when I
tried to talk with the Jugoslav ar
rivals.
The mosquito fleet sailed across
the narrow Adriatic with every
thing from light anti-aircraft guns
and tommy guns to bully beef,
tobacco, army biscuits, and tins of
gasoline.
Keeping the life-line open is one
of the most intrepid tasks of this
war. It often is necessary to
patch up these vessels, which con
stantly are being hunted down
and bombed by German aircraft.
At Bari these little ships were
under heavy guard at their piers
by both American and British
military police.
American officers have been
supervising this, shuttle service
across the Adriatic, and from the
very beginning have made fre-
queni trips to ine Dalmatian
islands in the rickety craft where
they made personal contact with
Tito's staff.
The British navy and British
and American fighter planes
have been keeping the Germans
busy while Tito's fishing fleet
plies back and forth, unloading
humans, including attractive Ju
soslav partisan women nurses.
The khaki-clad nurses are not
allowed to get in touch with
American and British troops and
are escorted wherever they go by
M.P.'S.
Staff talks between the Jugo
slav partisans and American and
British officers often were con
ducted aboard ship while they
were Being reloaded In the Ital
ian harbors.
