Mr. Grant concluded. gt He outlined what has happened as follows: “In the early days of the emergency - program, a large shell-load-ing plant, Kingsbury Ordnance plant, was constructed in La Porte county within my district. Following that, the master minds of the New Deal housing program acquired some 775 acres of fertile farm land immediately adjoining the ordnance plant and constructed a city of 2974 homes at a cost of some $13,000,000 and probably more. “They built 18 miles of streets; 72 miles of sidewalks; spent $133,350 for landscaping; built a permanent sewage disposal plant costing $166,738.40, and permanent water system at $559,530. . .. “Only 350 families moved into

Take 16 Towns, 24 Hills

Sixteen towns and 24 hills have been captured by the two allied armies since they resumed. their march on Rome, 75 miles away, at 11 p. m. last Thursday. German resistance continued fierce all along the front and an official spokesman warned that the Germans could be expected to bring up reinforcements soon in the Liri valley. No rapid German withdrawal is anticipated, he said. Some 2500 American, British and allied planes supported the ground forces yesterday, with up to 750 Flying Fortresses and Liberators alone dropping perhaps 2250 tons of bombs on German railway communications and airfields from Rome to the Po valley. Allied fighter-bombers attacked enemy troop concentrations and gun positions from dawn to dusk.

enemy lines, and were in answer to specific questions concerning the situation in Yugoslavia. In ‘estimating the amount of territory now under control of the natignal liberation committee, Broz said that the parts of the freed territory in varous provinces would, when put together, constitute onehalf of the country. “Even in the occupied territory,” he explained. “the detachments and the units of the national liberation army exercise control at many points.” In Serbia, around Yablanica and Toplica, the marshal said, the partisans have held a “goodly stretch” of liberated territory ever since 1941.

Confer With Allies

He said the enemy still was able to conduct offensives on separate sectors of the front but not in the country as a whole when asked if he expected a new German offensive in Yugoslavia.

“For the latter job,” he added, “the Germans do not command sufficient forces nor is the morale of their troops the same as it was say a year ago. The Germans are

still able to conquer this or that part of the liberated territory, but they cannot hold them. “It is my conviction therefore that with an early opening of the second front the Germans will not be capable of any more offensive actions in Yugoslavia and that on the contrary the national liberation army will be able to go over to a counter-offensive on all the sectors of the front.” Broz said that the supreme staff) of the liberation army and the]
