There is no way, and people who

| dons believe that should be here | now, watching gallant New Zealand infantrymen wrest Cassino house by house and bronzed Indian soldiers inch their way up jagged Monastery hill on their hands and . knees, under constant fire. Perhaps we expected a little too much of Wednesday's air attack. This breath-taking spectacle of hundreds of allied bombers pouring tons of bombs into the town served the definite purpose of softening the garrison defenses, but its very might created problems for offense, too. In blanketing the target area, allied bombs naturally gouged deep graters in the town and filled the

streets with wreckage. ' Heavy rain Wednesday night— . . ”

Bombing of Cassino Proves Inaccuracy of Air Warfare

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Times Foreign Correspondent NAPLES, March 18.—Considering the amount of explosive we put by bombing planes and artillery into Cassino Wednesday it is astonishing that we should subsequently have gotten into the kind of shoving match we are now having. It is particularly astonishing considering the small size of the German garrison which consisted only of a few companies. The answer is that the Germans had prepared deep dugouts in anticipation of what happened Wednesday and, having weathered

Repairs taxed the ingenuity of the American engineers. . People are probably tired of hearing that picked Nazi- paratroopers have exploited the natural defensés of Cassino and Monastery hill to the fullest. But they have done just that and to show how hard those defenses are to get at, no visible German reinforcements had been noticed in the battle area up to late last night. As spring comes to the Italian front and white blossoms of almond and fruit trees festoon the hillsides, carpeted with grass and wildflowers, our battle progress should quicker. Rome is still quite a ways up the road and if you get impatient to stick new pins in your map, just try to remember the fighting at Cassino, one battle on one sector of one front.

The Luftwaffe put on a small but noisy demonstration of its own yesterday when 15 Focke-Wulf fighterbombers dive-bombed the town and 18 other fighter-bombers tried unsuccessfully to destroy the bridge American engineers had thrown across the Rapido river. Their display did nothing to correct the impression, formed Wednesday, that air forces still have to learn a few things about accuracy.
