All of the city's million peo

through the bombings and then
survived the German reign of
terror joined in a happy wel
come to the allied warriors.
A military spokesman said
military oolice had taken over
control of the city until local
police could be reorganized for
the task.
Before retreating the Ger
mans heavily mined the city's
streets, but as fast as they fin
ished the job, the Neapolitans
dug out the explosives tmd, ac
cording to reports given the
allied vanguard, buried them on
the road north of the city over
which the Germans were about
to retreat.
Gen. Clark's troops found
few buildings near the Naples
waterfront habitable as a result
of heavy bombings and sys
tematic German demolitions.
The greater part of the town
itself had been spared by the
bombers. Italian officials said,
but extensive damage was done
to the central and eastern por
tions when the Germans mined
buildings and set others afire.
