DRIVE FOR ROME TO GROW HARDER . SAYS ALEXANDER Allied Commander Reports i; Nazis Bringing Reinforce ; ments From Red Front. Br C R. Cunningham , (United Press Correspondent) An Allied Force Command, Italy, Oct. 28. (U.R) Gen. Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, com mander ol Allied ground forces, said today that the Allied ad vance in Italy has been slowed by huge German reinforcements rushed , in from other fronts, and warned that the Fifth and Eighth armies face an Increas- . -togly Diner ugm in meir arive ; jtor Rome.

Face Seven Divisions Emphasizing that the German posrHon in Italy has been strengthened at the expense of the Nazis' Russian front, Alex ander said the Anglo-American forces now were facing seven divisions in the front line about 105,000 troops. He point ed out that the divisions could have been sent to Russia had they not been needed elsewhere. Alexander was confident of the outcome of the Italian cam paign, but cautioned against ex pecting a quick triumph. "The campaign is going quite well, but rather slowly," he said, "it is not going as quickly as we would like." The slim, mustachioed gen eral, who is Allied chief of staff under American Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, refused to make any predictions about the pro gress of the campaign because, he said, "I've made many pro phecies since the start of this war, and not one of them has been right."

"Rome Is everything," he said. "He who holds Rome holds the hearts of the Italian people, above and beyond strate gic and political considerations." "All roads lead to Rome," he added, -"but unfortunately ail the roads are badly mined." Alexander said the original Allied plan had called for a landing at Salerno and a drive directly across the Italian pen insula, but added that one Ger man division had checked the Fifth army longer than had been anticipated. He praised Lleut.-Gen. Mark W. Clark's handling of the Fifth army and the air and sea sup port which finally broke the German resistance at Salerno. He emphasized, however, that "the German is a very good sol dier" and was in a position to move forces rapidly to cover threatened points along the line. Keep Initiative Alexander said the armies under his command would take the initiative at all times, be cause "once you allow the ene my to seize the initiative he'll kick you in the pants. He predicted that the cam. paign would become tougher as it .progressed northward and that the drive on Rome would be Increasingly slow. "We've got more guns and more tanks than the enemy, but it is difficult to use them,;' he explained. Alexander expressed hope that Rome would not be greatly damaged, even if the Germans put up a stiff fight, because "nowadays, wars are not really fought in cities, but around cities." . He told correspondents that the Italians have been able to offer little military aid to the Allies so far, but that they were being used for various labor services and that he depended greatly upon the Carabinieri to police occupied towns and cities. "We are also getting help from Italians behind the Ger man lines, but the German is a very heavy-fisted fellow," he said. Alexander said very few Ger man prisoners have been taken thus far, and that not much can be done at present to halt the Nazi "scorched earth" policy in northern Italy. In 1943, under its ninth presi dent, Dr. A. L. Strand, OSC be came the first college in the west to start the army special ized training program. .1 c fmmm'. . r 'S Mam.! n Lisiwiv w ' The Battle Vehicle of Mercy Twn mif-uK and oarients know these vehicles of mercy.
