ITALY MOVES TO SAVE CITY F S (Continued from Page One) Rome station transmitted the Italian News agency announce ment or the decision. It was nnt ImmiwIlBtnlv M... wnemer me Italians consulted tnelr German allies before talc. ing the step that was announced today. Must Cut Lines ' To prove accentabla to th United Nations, it was certain that such steps would have to be taken as to sever almost com pletely the Important military supply lines which run from northern Italy to the exposed southern part, to which German armies now are beina evacuated iron, sicuy. The whole military admlnls. tration of Italy had been concen trated in Rome under the cen tralized fascist system and re mained so after the collapse of Mussolini's regime and the abo lition of fascism. Rid Government Obviously to satisfy the allies Italy would have to disperse this crumbling giant of a military government as well as rid Rome of its defenses and military in stallations. Even war factories would have to be closed or moved to return Rome to a basis of peace. The antes have charged that Musso lini deliberately built up many of these war industries In the shadow of monuments of Chris tianity and western civilization, hoping they would be safe there by. Investigation Necessary The allies already have said that before thev would accept a declaration of Rome as an open city they would require assur ance from an investigation by neutral or protecting powers that all such steps had been car ried out. There was no Indication how far such a process may have gone. The axis broadcasts were re corded by The Associated Press and the ministry of information. Wait Response The Italian announcement said the government hod been wait ing since July 31 for a response fom the allies to a communica tion sent through the Vatican. In the house of commons on July 28. Ivor Thomas, a labor member of parliament asked what conditions needed to be ful filled before Rome could be re garded as an open city. , On this occasion, Forcien Sec retary Anthony Eden said "if the Italian government approached us in this matter we would con sider the question In the circum stances then existing." The Italian capital has been bombed twice by formations of American bombers, on July 19 network the princinal target and August 13, with its railroad each time. Eliminate Tracks The elimination of the use of these tracks for the movement of troons and military supplies would be one of the obligations entailed In the declaration of an open city. Others would, be the with drawal of troops from the city, cessation of manufacture of war supplies and the admission of an allied commission to Rome to see that all obligations were carried out. LONDON, Aug. 14 W) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's author ity to direct military operations in the Mediterranean is not re stricted by the Italian decision to declare Rome an open city. an official British statement said today. "The unilateral declaration by the Italian government that Rome is being converted into an open city cannot, of course, af reet the full liberty of the com mander In chief," it said. Official quarters declined to elaborate on the statement. merely emphasizing that the commander in chief would have full liberty of action. HEY GANG!

The tall, blond, dapper form er czarist officer, now a 49' year-old member of general stan, talked quietly and confld ontly of the operations. Im mediately after, the talk, the tents were packed up and moved west to keep pace with tne fast moving troops. Lying in Walt Before the summer campaign began, Sabennlkov said, "the two lines were lying in wait to see wno would move first. We were ready, watching for what tne Germans would do." he con tinued: "We knew of German clans to cut off our Kursk wedge and knew where the concentrations were. Particularly we knew that on the Bryansk front their main concentrations were in Kroml and east of Kromi. "The Germans began their of fensive July 5, south of their concentration, along the rail road In the direction of Malyar changclsk and Kursk. By July iu and 11 they nut all their main forces in action, hurling them into the attack in these directions. We were ready for this. Start Counter Blow "At 3 a. m. on. Julv 12 we started our countcroffensivo by concentric plows on Orel from different directions. By July 15, wnen we broke the front on the Zusha and Oka rivers and farther northwest, we beaan to feel that the Germans were un easy. There was some panic in ineir ranks as we met the di visions which first attacked the Kursk salient. "For example, the 12th and 8th tank and 36th and 20th mo torized divisions and some others were transferred from Kursk to the Orel front. From July 18 to July 20, some di visions were found transferred from-France. One tank division was brought from the Minsk- Vitebsk sector and another from Velikle Luki." Forced to Scatter We could feel that the Ger mans were putting everythlne possible Into the effort to hold the Orel battlefield, but the aen- eral situation and deep reaching attacks of the red army both in tne direction of Karachev and south from Kursk forced the Germans to scatter their re serves which they did not have placed properly.'.'

Ships Shown Allied aerial reconnaissance showed that ships crossing the narrqw, bomb-tossed' Messina strait, were arriving empty on the Sicilian baches and depart ing loaded, ho said. The strait, he added, was un der constant fire from British light warships and coastal craft and from the fleets of ' allied bombers shuttling back and forth through that "fink alley" with their loads of 2000-pound blockbusters and cannon and machine-gun ammunition. Two-Tonners Dropped RAF and Canadian Welling tons dropped two-tonners on ports on both sides of the strait and even laid strings of them along tho benches where enemy infantry was seen wading to the boats.

Direct Hits "Direct hits were scored up on factory buildings and large columns of smoke were seen ris ing throughout the target area. Scores of bursts were seen among some 400 fighter aircraft parked In rows along the ground. . . "Enemy fighter opposition was weak and the ground de fenses apparently was taken by complete surprise. "All of our aircraft are ac counted for." The blow deep into Hitler's southeast European Industrial empire was made by hundreds of the giant bombers winging perhaps a record distance from the middle east to attack the hitherto unreachable war plants, The announcement did not name tho base from which the attack was launched, but the flight apparently represented a trip exceeding 2000 miles.
