Meantime, the Allies pressed forward at Cassino and north of Nazis Surprised, Offer Slight Opposition Allied Headquarters, Algiers (Al) American and British, troops by the thousands land ed practically without opposition on the "beaches south of Rome and moved inland yesterday in a daring, successful seaborne blow that completely surprised ths Germans and deeply outflanked ti powerful "Gustav" and "Adolf H.t-ler" defense lines. The Germans placed the scene 16 to 28 miles south of Rome on a 30-mile flat coast between the Tiber River mouth and the resort town of Nettuno, and they admitted loss of Nettuno Harbor. Nazis Surprised Allied headquarters merely salt It whs south of Rome but officially described the aimiiiilt "anolrur lui in our ohjritlva to taks Koine." The Jarwlinga caught that Nazis by "complete surprise" and "constitute a grave menace" to enemy communications, headquarters said. Troops who splashed ashore met "slight" resistance and are malting "satisfactory progress" in drive inland; it was announce i hours after the pre-dawn onslaught. Drive to Knd Deadlock Admittedly a hazardous gamble, the great amphibious stroke that ended the Italian deadlock wu timed perfectly with new general Fifth Army offensive on th land front which fully occupied the stubborn German 10th Army.

After selecting Chicago as the national convention and installing youthful Robert E. Hannegan, hailed as a "second Jim Farley," as new national chairman, the committee members roared approval for a resolution declaring the "liberal spirit and far-sighted ideal ism" of Franklin D.

Roosevelt "must be imprinted in the peace." Hailed for Leadership "We, assembled here, realizing bis world leadership and knowing Unit iiur Allies are praying Willi lu for the continuation of hi.i services both in war and peace," the resolution concluded, "do now earnestly solicit him to continue as the great world humanitarian leader." Thus, the resolution stopped short of calling for a fourths term in so many words but there was no mistaking that the committee members regarded it as a plea for the President to run again. House Speaker Rayburn and Vicepresident Wallace, praising the leadership of President Roosevelt, told the Jackson liny dinner last night the same kind of leadership must be maintained in the post war period if this country is to win the peace. Neither called directly for a fourth term for the President, but the thread of this possibility ran clearly through both addresses to the $100 a plate banquet at the Mayflower Hotel to raise funds for the Democratic Party's 1944 campaign. Both men have been mentioned as possible running mates for Mr. Roosevelt.

"Roosevelt, God willing, will In the future? give the New Deal a firmer foundation than it has ever had before," said Wallace. M. S. Leaders Acclaimed Rayburn said there were "two heoric figures'' on the American scene Franklin D. Roosevelt and Cordell Hull.

"We have gone to war under a caliber of leadership that has proved, by actual results, that It Is worthy of the high trust we placed In it," he continued. "That leadership Is still proving its worth. May we never make the fatal error of thinking we can win the peace, under a leadership of any smaller Caliber, or under no leadership at all." In their immediate audiences were members of the Democratic National Committee and other high party figures. President Roosevelt in the past has sent messages to or addressed these annual gatherings, but this time he held strictly aloof. Continued on rare 8A U.

S. Purchase Of 10 Freighters Called Wasteful Washington fJP) The Government's purchase of 10 cargo tihips from the Southern Pacific Company (Morgan Line) In 1941 at a price of $4,733,952 "resulted in a wasteful and extravagant expenditure of public funds," Comptroller General Lindsay Warren has reported to Congress. The report, made public yesterday, said the vessels were bought outright by the United States Maritime Commission when they legnlly could have been requisitioned for immediate war use pending a full investigation of their value. "The fact that $3,580,000 had to be spent to recondition the vessels shortly after their purchase," Warren's report said, "suggests that at least this conditon of the contract (taking the ships on an 'as is' basis) was unreasonable and not in the public interest." Seize" 70 Towns, Approach Rail Hub London (AP) The Russians, pursuing the beaten German bcsicgvrs -of Leningrad, closed in to within six miles of the great rail hub of Krasnogvardeisk controlling trunk railways to Estonia and Poland yesterday. Other forces captured 30 communities to the east, where they were driving to free the major rail artery to Moscow More than 70 towns and hamlets were taken in the entire Leningrad area, said the Moscow broadcast communique recorded by the Soviet monitor.

Nazi Remnants Wiped Out I.es than 100 mile to the south, where the Red Army was surgltiK west from captured Novgorod. fiur more towns were taken as the last scattered remnants of Germans surrounded In the forests were declared wiped out. Gains also were made in southern White Russia, where deven communities were taken as the forces of Gen. Konstantine Rokos-eovsky reached out from captured Kalinkovichi through the Pripet Marshes toward Pinsk. The Leningrad fighting saw the Hov'a crrenteHt advances as Gen.

Leonid A. Govorov's forces captured Komolova and Zaltsevo, both six miles north of Krasnogvardeisk. Railway Cleared The Russians also officially announced the clearing of a roundabout railway from Ieningrud to Moscow with the captures in the Mga area. The railway via Mga, Kurishl and Ovinische is a single track line, considerably longer than the main line. With the fall of the long-held Nazi stronghold of Mga the Red Army seized the key to German fortifications southeast of Leningrad and raced ahead to wipe out Nazi troops still holding a CO-mila stretch of the rail line linking the old Czarist and new Soviet capitals.

The Nazi-held portion runs Xrom the vicinity of Kolpino, 15 miles southeast of Leningrad, to Volk-hovo. Liberation of the railway would provide a powerful supply backbone for the Russians, and once aain unite the efforts of the two greatest cities of the Soviet Union. Nazis From the Lake Ilmen, Face Disaster southern shores of below toppled Nov gorod, northward to the Baltic coast, the German army was trying to avert a major military disaster. In many sectors their dead were being counted by the thousands and In liberated Leningrad long lines of prisoners already were moving through the streets, it was disclosed in Soviet dispatches to Moscow. It appeared certain that the Germans could not escape losing many more than the 40,000 killed and 4,000 captured already tallied by the Russians, for the Red Army-had taken a stranglehold on too many chunks of the vital rail network below Leningrad and was swiftly closing in on the remainder.

Nazis Well Clothed Photographs reaching Moscow from Leningrad showed German captives in special winter equipment. Associated Press Correspondent Kddy Gilmore observed that this was the first such equipment he had known to be used by the Germans in three winters in Russia. The soldiers, furthermore, were tall, strapping men, totally unlike the typical shivering "winter Fritz" frequently the subject of Russian cartoons. This indicated that the Soviet power drive was smashing through the best defense the Germans could offer. The Soviet Army newspaper Red Star said the Russians were in great strength In the area of Mga and reported the town was evacuated by the Germans because of this, and despite the fact the garrison was large and in strong defen sive positions.

It perhaps, make use of the International Red Cross. neutral uipiomatic missions, or even underground movements In occupied lands. In his executive order setting the board, Mr. Roosevelt declared It to be "the policy of this government to take all measures with'n its power to rescue the victims of enemy oppression who are in imminent danger of death and otherwise to afford such victims all possible relief and assistance consistent with the successful prosecution of the war." Mr.

Roosevelt stated, the White House said, that he expected to get the co-operation of all the United Nations and other fore'gn governments in the program. ing 17 days, Raymond Ball, at niirlit The total yesterday stood a f4.0S0.804. or 20 per cent of the individual subscription quota of $20,978,000 set for the county.

Bchweinhaut, special assistant to the Attorney General, that he will be in town at 10 m.

STRIPPED OF AUTHORITY IN FOOD SETUP Washington CP) War Food Administrator Marvin Jones yes terday stripped the $3,000,000,000 Commodity Credit Corporation and its president, J. B. Hutson, of important policy-making powers over the WFA'k food production pro-Kin m. Control loat by the CCC and Its chief was divided between a new Office of Distribution, set up to replace the Food Distribution Administration, an a newly created Office of Price, with the latter getting important farm price policy functions.

Under the WFA setup wiped out by Jones, the CCC and Hutson had become the top ranking agency and official in food production aspects of the war food program. Hutson, as director of the Food Production Administration, and as heud of the CCC, had control over such powerful peacetime agencies as the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, the Farm Security Administration and the Soil Conservation Service as well as supervision over price support programs for agricultural commodities. In yesterday's order, the AAA. the FSA and the SCS regained the status of independent agencies, re sponsible only to Jones or his Im mediate assistants. Before the war, the AAA far Overshadowed the CCC.

Under the organization plans made by former Food Administrators Claude R. Wlckard and Chester C. Davis, and continued by Jones until yesterday, the CCC and Hutson were placed at the top of the food production programs. The shakeup, which came as a surprise to all but a very few WFA and Agriculture Dennrtmenf of ficials, was made as the Senate plnnned to dehato this week legi. lutlon extending the life of the CCC beyond Feb.

A powerful anti-subsidv bloc In Congress is insisting that the legislation carry a provision prohibit ing future food subsidy programs. Whether the WFA reorganiza tion had any connection withthe subsidy controversy was a question raised in various quarters. Jones, in announcing the changes, said they merely were designed to "speed up WFA operations, through more clearly defining administrative responsibilities and procedures, and eliminating duplication."

Terrific 2-Day Pounding The assault brought to at least 6,300 tons the total weight of bombs hurled on Europe by Allied air armadas in two night and a day. An RAF assault on Berlin Thursday night and an American heavy bomber pounding of the "rocket gun coast" of France Friday were the other principal raids. While the RAF was pulverizing Magdeburg, capital of the Prussian province of Saxony lying on the left bank of the Elbe 83 miles southwest of Berlin, smaller fleets of four-engined Lancasters and ply wood Mosquitos again visited bomb-scarred Berlin, and the Ger mans unwrapped a new type of night raider to make their heaviest assault in a year against London.
