8th army troops, pushing inland from the Adriatic, swept through the Nazi stronghold of Gambettola, 12 miles northwest of Rimini and two miles above the highway from Rimini to Bologna, principal artery of the Po valley The final battle for Livergnano, straddling the Florence-Bologna road, was one of the bloodiest of the North Italy campaign. A dispatch from the conquered town by United Press Correspondent James E. Roper described Livergnano as a village of “caves and corpses” with the highway stained by the blood of German and American dead, mangled by the other’s artillery, Seven miles due east of Livergnano, another American force

the book at the veteran Democratic congressman, Louis Ludlow, ing him with being an isolationist and citing his votes against preparedness measures. All of which must have made all the Hoosier Republican congressmen wince, with the exception of Mr. LaFollette, since all of them have as bad or worse records on that score than Mr. Ludlow. By criticizing Mr. Ludlow’s record on these matters, Judge Stark inferred that had he been in congress he would have voted differently—in other words he would have voted against a majority of his Republican colleagues for what he considered the best interests of the country. And Republicans, even less than Democrats, have no love for insurgents in their ranks. The Democratic candidates for congress in the other districts of Indiana could use Judge Stark's speech in their campaigns. One of the things this writer has never been able to understand is how any congressman who voted against extension of the selective service act only a few weeks before Pearl Harbor (a law which passed by only one vote in the house) can have the crust to get up on the floor of the house and charge the administration with unpreparedness. And a couple of Hoosier Republican congressmen have done this. EJ » »

Popular for Service

CONGRESSMAN LUDLOW'S' unquestioned popularity in his home district is due to the services he has rendered his constituents, rather than to any voting record. ’

Ladoga Soldier Had Hair Parted by German's Bullet.

His hair literally parted by bullets while serving with the beleagured allied invasion forces on the Anzio beachhead, Pfc. James Byrd, 23, Ladoga, was here last week to visit his uncle, Joe Everson,

for the juvenile aid division. Pfc. Byrd, who was given a medical discharge as a result of wounds received in action, left with his uncle to visit his mothers, Mrs. Hattie his mother, Mrs. Hattie Byrd, longByrd, longtime employee of the Ladoga Building & Co. Gets Purple Heart

The former medical company aid man has received the purple heart for abdominal wounds suffered the day following the incident in which a bullet actually cut a clean part through his hair. This was during a 60-day period that the enemy kept the beachhead under heavy fire and prevented reinforcements from arriving. Lying in mud and water a great part of this time, Pfc. Byrd and the others battled valiantly to hold their position. Morale of the group was high, though, the former Indiana university student recalled, but tension caused the men to live like cats. Coffee “Hits Officer

Once, Pfc. Byrd said, his group was trying to gulp some coffee and sandwiches when something caused them to jump. His cup of coffee flew into the air and landed on his lieutenant, This occurred again a short time later, amid yells from the officer that echoed into the enemy outposts. Following his 27 months in service, Pfc. Byrd plans to re-enter Indiana university next fall to complete his last year in the business administration school.
