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

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.

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.'.'
