On Anzio Front
AJoiiraal
London, Feb. 21 (P) The
Berlin radio reported today
that tank-led allied infantry,
going over to the offensive in
the Anzio beachhead south of
Rome, had made "temporary"
breaches in the nazi defenses
and had inflicted "consider
able casualties" on German
troops in intensified fight
ing. Allied Headquarters, Naples,
Feb. 21 VP) American and Brit
ish forces have stopped a su
preme etfort by densely-packed
German troops to wipe out the
Anzio bridgehead and have
thrown the enemy back two
miles toward Carroceto, allied
headquarters announced today.
The nazi steamroller advance,
aimed down the Anziate high
way last Wednesday morning
toward Anzio, the cord of allied
beachhead, was halted only aft
er all elements of allied power
were called into play during 48
hours of the most intense period
of the fighting.
Naval Units Helped
"Our effort was very greatly
assisted by magnificent support
given by allied naval units, al
lied air formations and both
British and American artillery,"
the communique said.
.The German offensive reach
esf its peak before dawn Satur
day. Then American tanks and
infantry, under the cover of a
heavy artillery barrage, began
smashing forward at 6:30 a.m.
and was still rolling ahead yes
terday. The Intensity of the enemy
efforts was demonstrated by the
appearance of elements of five
regiments within one 1,000
yard area. Six enemy divisions
threw their entire strength into
the assault. Three others were
held in reserve.
18 Nazi Divisions
An allied spokesman an
nounced the Germans steadily
swelling their armies in Italy,
now have 18 divisions involved
in the Italian actions. Nine of
these facing the beachhead, it
f;as announced, are grouped un
er the 14th German army,
commanded by Gen. Eberhard
Von Mackensen last reported on
the Russian front. He is the son
of the world war general.
The bulk of the remaining
divisions stand on the main 5th
army front behind the Cassino
defenses. They comprise the
10th army under Gen. Heinrich
Von Vietinghof. Both armies
still are under Field Marshal
Albert Kesselring.
Punched 4000 Yards
Throwing everything they
could muster into a mighty
southward stab to split the al
lied beachhead forces, the Ger
mans had managed to punch
some 4,000 yards below Car
roceto before their advance was
hurled back.
Their casualties were heavy,
e dead piling up in great num
bers, hundreds being wounded
and at least 700 falling prisoner.
Some of those captured said
one German regiment alone' had
lost 60 percent of its strength.
Air Force Utilized
Allied air operations yester
day were devoted almost ex
clusively to attacks on the brok
en German beachhead lines.
Four-engined heavy bombers
again joined medium and light
bombers in bombing and shoot
ing up enemy concentrations.
The allies sent 900 sorties into
the air, the Germans sent up an
. estimated 100, and the sky bat
tles and attacks on both sides
of the beachhead ground battle
lines were rapidly rising to a
record peak when the weather
limited further forays.
4ction Deferred on
CCC Lease of Life
Washington, Feb. 21 (IP) The
house bOnking and currency

London, Feb. 21 (U.R) About
2000 .American .planes struck
their second staggering blow at
Germany in two days today, at
tacking o n a scale equal to the
Sunday bombardment that
knocked out one-fourth of Adolf
Hitler's fighter plane produc
tion. The systematic destruction of
the German air force as a
weapon for the last defense of
the reich thundered toward a
climax as American and Brit
ish aerial armadas rained an
unprecedented weight of explos
ives on the nazi homeland.
Repeat Performances
The repeat performance today
by United States forces of the
biggest daylight air attack of
all time followed a smashing as
sault by the R,oyal Air Force on
the industrial center of Stutt
gart, which rocked under the
impact of an estimated 1,600
tons of bombs during the night.
Soon after announcing that
American airmen had shot down
126 German planes in the as
sault on nazi aircraft centers
yesterday, United States head
quarters revealed that an equal
ly strong force had returned to
hammer targets in northwest
Germany today.
Marauders Join Raiders

Air Output
Cut A Fourth
Washington, Feb. 21 (IP)
Gen. H. H. Arnold, commanding
general of the army air forces
estimates and he says his esti
mate is "conservative" that
the massive American air as
sault on Germany yesterday
knocked out one-fourth of the
enemy's fighter plane produc
tion capacity.
He said the 2,000-plane raid,
which he described as the "big
gest United States air mission in
history," was a tactical as well
as strategic achievement.
"The routing of heavy bomb
ers and the timing of the attacks
by components of the main force
and by medium bombardment
planes in the coastal regions
were skillfully planned," he
said last night.
"German defense personnel
is getting no rest."
Arnold meant, the war de
partment explained later, that
the new forays had knocked out
25 percent of the Luftwaffe's
fighter capacity "as of yester
day." This represented a tre
mendous inroad, coupled with
the announcement 10 days ago
that as of November, the U.S.
forces had chopped German
fighter building capacity by 43
percent.
Germans Again Raid London
Set Fires, Cause Casualties
London, Feb. 21 W) Nazi air raiders scattered incendiaries
and explosives over London in a .short but fierce attack last
night which set fires in many areas and caused some casualties.
The assault apparently was
staged in an attempt to repeat
the big fire raid which was
carried out against London ear
ly Saturday morning the heav
iest blow which the British
capital has suffered since the
big attacks of 1940-41.
The Germans followed the
same pattern last night s in
the previous raid, fanning out
in all directions in an effort to
confuse the defenses and scat
tering fire bombs apparently In
discriminately. The attacking force, however,
evidently was smaller than that
of Saturday, when it was esti
mated that 150 planes came over
the city.
The raiders were greeted with
a thunderous anti-aircraft bar
rage and first reports indicated
that at least three had been shot

First Soldier
Held for Treason
Albuquerque, N. M., Feb. 21
(U.R) Federal authorities today
promised a speedy trial for Pvt.
Dale Maple, 24, San Diego, the
first American soldier charged
with treason in World war II.
, The handsome Harvard gradr
uate, who according to the fed:
eral bureau of investigation was
dismissed' from the ROTC in
1940 because of alleged pro
nazi sympathies, was charged
with aiding in the escape of two
nazi prisoners from the prison
stockade at the army winter
training center at Camp Hale,
high in the Colorado Rockies
Maple and the two prisoners
were captured Thursday when
their car broke down Just south
of the Mexican border and were
turned over to U. S. authorities
by the Mexican immigration
office.
Maple denied the charges on
arraignment and was held m
default of $100,000 bond. U. S
District Attorney Howard Houk
said his case would be presented
to a federal grand jury in
Santa Fe, N. M., March 6, and
his trial would be held shortly
after that. Maximum penalty
on conviction is death, Houk
said.
The two Germans, Earhard
Schwichtenberg and Heinrich

speak English, were reported
missing Tuesday night. At the
same time, officials at Camp
Hale reported that Maple was
absent without leave from the

Senate Debates
On Skim Milk
Washington, Feb. 21 (IP)
Still a little hoarse from recent
shouting over taxes, service vot
ing and subsidies, the senate got
around to the skim milk issue
today.
Senator Overlon (D, La.) led
the forces opposing a house-approved
bill to amend the pure
food and drug regulations so
that "powdered skim milk" or
"skim milk powder" might be
labeled "non-fat dry milk sol
ids" or "defatted milk solids."
Overton said he had tried out
the proposed new terms on some
of his colleagues, and "they did
n't know what I was talking
about." He sought the floor on
behalf of the status quo.
But Senator Clark (D. Mo.),
speaking up for a dairying sec
tion, demanded a change. "Skim
milk," he asserted, "is a bad
name," and its "compulsory ap
plication to a good product is
inaccurate, unfair, and retards
the use of this very valuable
food product by millions of con
sumers of the country."

And Navy Chiefs
Takes Their Jobs
New York, Feb. 21 (IP) The
Tokyo radio acknowledged to
day that Japan had suffered hea

on her great naval base at Truk
and announced simultaneously
that both the chiefs of the Jap
anese army and navy general
staffs had been relieved of their

Another broadcast quoted an
announcement of the navy min

Japanese navy's general staff,
had been "relieved of his post."
The announcement added that
Emperor Hirohito had named
Admiral Shigetaro Shimada, na

Sugiyama Relieved
The Tokyo radio said the Jap
war ministry announced that
Field Marshal Gen. Sugiyama
had been relieved of his post as
chief of the army general staff
and that Premier Hideki Tojo
had taken over the job. The
broadcasts were recorded by the
U.S. foreign broadcast intelli

The communique announcing
the Japanese naval losses at
Truk acknowledged that in ad

Aerial Attacks Hit Rabaul
And Jap Bases in Dutch Indies
Allied Headquarters in the Southwest Pacific, Feb. 21 (IP)
Japan's southwest Pacific fortress of Rabaul has been weakened
by three more aerial attacks, one of which at least temporarily
knocked out the important Vun-
akanau airdrome southeast of
the town.
Coming in at different levels
the successive waves of allied
planes dropped 123 tons of
bombs and left both Vunakanau
and Tobera airports devastated.
Thirteen Japanese planes
were shot out of the air, and
others were destroyed on the
ground.
The attacks February 18 came
only a few hours after United
States destroyers shelled Rabaul
in a daring early morning raid.
Allied Mitchells and Light
nings struck first, swooping
down on Tobera and shooting
down five plane Just taking to

A large flight of Liberators
struck less than an hour later
at Vunakanau. Their escorting
Lightnnlngs knocked down
seven of 20 Japanese planes that
Pearl Harbor, Feb. 21 (U.R) u. S. invasion forces battled their
way across the next-to-the-last enemy-held island in Eniwetok
atoll today as front dispatches indicated a battleship bombard
ment may have aided carrier-based planes in sinking 19 Japanese
ships in last week's smashing raid on Truk.
(A Japanese communique broadcast by Tokyo radio admitted
the loss of 18 ships. Including two cruisers and three destroyers,
and 120 planes in- the American attack on Truk, It claimed the
sinking of two American cruisers, the damaging of an aircraft
carrier and an unidentified warship and the destruction of 54
carrier-based planes.)
Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, commander of the Pacific fleet, an
nounced In a communique late yesterday that marines and army
troops had captured the western half of Eniwetok island and oc
cupied all other islands in the atoll except Parry, which was iso
lated by the landing on Eniwetok.
"Although the Americans are meeting opposition, casualtiei
continued to be light," Nimitz
said. -
Capture of Eniwetok
The invaders were expected
to complete the conquest of the
atoll, 750 miles northeast of
Truk, within a mattef of days,
bettering even their eight-day
victory on Kwajalein earlier
this month.
Speculation that the 16-inch
guns of American battleships
may have contributed to the de
struction of Truk last week
stemmed from official reports
that all aerial opposition had
been wiped out in the first day
of the assault, leaving the way
clear for warships to approach
within gun range.
Altogether, the powerful
American task forces sank 19
Japanese ships, probably sank
seven others, destroyed at least
201 enemy planes and wrecked
shore installations last Wednes
day and Thursday in the great
est naval victory numerically
since the battle of the Bismarck
sea in March 1943, when Amer
ican planes sank an entire con
voy of 22 enemy ships.
Only 17 Planes Lost
The successful attack cost the
American armada only 17
planes lost and "moderate dam
age" to one warship.
"The Pacific fleet has re
turned at Truk the visit made
by the Japanese fleet at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and
effected partial settlement of
that debt," Nimitz said in his
triumphant communique yester
day noon.
He listed Japanese losses spe
cifically as follows:
Japanese Losses
Sunk: two light cruisers,
three destroyers, one ammuni
tion ship, one seaplane tender,
two oilers, two gunboats and
eight cargo ships.
Probably sunk: one cruiser or
large destroyer, two oilers and
four cargo ships.
Shot down in combat: 120
planes.
Destroyed on the ground: 74
planes; shore installations.
Damaged on the ground: more
than 50 planes; airdromes.
George Jones, United Press
war correspondent who accom
panied the task forces in the
Truk attack, said in a dispatch
sent before the raid that the
warships included a number of
battleships and added, perhaps
significantly:
Body Thrust Likely
"We might see our surface
strength make a body thrust
into the outer edges of Truk's
intricate shorelines for an au
dacious bombardment . . . Air
craft will make the initial as
sault and they will carry the
responsibility of Inflicting the
initial damage on which other
surface craft can capitalize."

der the over-all command of
Adm. R. A. Spruange with Rear
Adm. M. A. Mitcher, former

tried to fight off the attack.
A few minutes later, a Ja
panese plane over Tobera was
winged by a large flight of Mit
chells that swarmed down over
that airport and smashed revet
ments and other installations.
In other portions of the south
and southwest Pacific, Japanese
bases and installations were at
tacked from the air and from
the sea. The Koepang area on
Timor island, at the southeast
tip of the Dutch Indies, was at
tacked by medium bombers and
fighters.
The Admiralty islands north
of New Britain were bombed by
heavy reconnaissance planes.
Along the New Guinea coast,
night patrol planes destroyed
six barges west of Muschu is
land, and other planes exploded
supply dumps at Hansa bay and
destroyed six more barges.
Battleships
Had Left Truk
U. S. Pacific Fleet Headquar
ters, Pearl Harbor, Feb. 21 VP)
Don't underestimate the dam
age inflicted on the Japanese
fleet at Truk.
It may seem disappointing
that the United States carrier
forces which sank 19 ships there
and probably finished off seven
more didn't include Japanese
carriers and battleships in their
toll.
But the heaviest units of the
enemy fleet, believed to have
been anchored at Eten harbor
inside the Truk lagoon at vari
ous times in the past, apparent
ly had been ordered elsewhere.
As recently as 12 days before
the carrier raid of last Wednes
day, marine reconnaissance
planes photographed two car
riers among the more than 25
warships of various types at
Eten anchorage. The biggest
fighting ships sunk Feb. 16 and
17 were cruisers.
Sinking of cruisers, destroy
ers, oilers, cargo ships and other
auxiliaries doesn't make nearly
as sensational reading to the
average person as the destruc
tion of the more potent carriers
and battlesnips. .
Remember,- however,- a fleet
cannot operate without " these
auxiliaries any more than the
army can fight without food,
guns or ammunition.
Destruction of two Japanese
oilers and probably sinking of
two others deprives the Japan
ese battle fleet in the central
Pacific of its most important
auxiliaries. Without oilers
available to accompany and re
fuel them, warships cannot re
main at sea more than a week.
They can carry food, ammuni
tion and other supplies for a
month or six weeks but they
are powerless without oil.
3 U-Boats Sunk
Off Gibraltar
London, Feb. 21 (U.R)British
bombers and naval vessels were
believed today to have broken
up a German attempt to Infil
trate the Mediterranean for at
tacks on allied shipping, by
sinking three U-boats and dam
aging a number of others In an
11-day battle off the Straits of
Gibraltar.
While a communique indicat
ed that some of the U-boats
might have slipped through the
straits, it pointed out the dam
aged ones would have a diffi
cult job limping through the al
lied controlled waters to bases
in north Italy.
Wellington bombers, acting
jointly with British naval ves
sels, sank two of the U-boats,
which apparently came from an
Atlantic port on the west coast
of France, while surface ships
sank the other submarine.
The Berlin radio, in a broad
cast heard here, said, however,
that German submarines recent
ly sank three loaded landing
vessels, a modern 19,000 ton
freighter, and an escorting ves
sel near Nettuno, and destroyed
a 5,200-ton allied cruiser in the
Gulf of Gaeta.
