Nazis Dig In On "Forgotten Front" PARIS, Oct. 18.—(UP) -An estimated 67.000 of Germany’s toughest troops were today digging in for the winter on France's "forgotten front,” the port areas along the Atlantic. The "forgotten front" is the most lonesome of the European battlegrounds. It’s not unusual on the periphery of the strategic areas which the Germans still hold to see soldier cowboys riding tanks and herding cattle at the same time. The German outfits holding the ports are largely splinters of German groups which were cracked up by the swift rush of the Allies out of Normandy. Some 25,000 are dug in around Lorient, 30,000 around Saint Nazaire, preventing the Allies from using Nantes and the Loire river, and others holding out in the islands near Bordeaux and denying the Allies use of that port and the Gironde river. A mixed force of Americans, Poles, Republican Spaniards, Russians, Czechs and the FFI are holding the lines around these ports. Once a weisk a council of war is held by the mixed nationalities with ; almost as many interpreters as there are units because of the diverse natuiv of the troops. Fighting is sporadic, FFI officers just back from behind the German lines report the Nazis sometimes use tanks to rofund up cattle for food while FFI (troops watch from the nearby woo 3s but are unable to halt the rustlinjf because they have no weapon he.lvier than light rifles. FFI ofic era also believe the Germans receive supplies and reinforcements by ;iir from Germany. Ousting the Germans is expected to be a roost difficult task as their

commander, ,Lt. Gen. Wilhelm Fahrmbacher, 57, is known to I)*; a fanatic for resistance. One story is that he maintains his headquarters in a building which can house 1,000 troops and which is suspended in some manner on shockabsorbers to reduce the effects of bombardment.

Plea Hade By War Fund Head

In a special message to chairmci and leaders of war fund campaigns in Indiana cities and counties, C. W Goris,, President of the Indiana Wai Fund, pointed out that the “one duty we have is to help keep tile worldwide force of American generosity u weapon for victory and a poweiful influence for peace a force need ed now to win, the victory and to prepare for the peace to follow." "For our men in uniform, nothing ■Ise assures them quite so well that the folks at home are back of therr. all the way,” the chairman stateu. "For our allies, nothing else symbolizes in quite the same way the friendliness of the American people which has built good will for us everywhere. “Whetner it is for QI Joe on the fighting front or his family on the home front, our neighborliness, our friendliness, our willingness to help when help is most needed have ever marked our bigness and our generosity." Mr. Goris called on the fund workers to dedicate their efforts to the Indiana men and women now m tho military service of their country and to those who have died under the banners of freedom, humanity and democracy. "In the name of our sons and daughters an«d other loved ones,’’ hr said, it is a job that we are asking

of you on behalf of the stnckea ana suffering people all over the world The first-hand horrors of war have not penetrated the continental shores of the United States, and we who have been spared this can prove our deep sense of thankfulness by helping those less fortunate. “The goals that have been set for .his campaign of mercy, relief and kindness are based on valid and presung needs. The dollars being solicit'd will be |ping into the USO canteens and lounges, into hospitals for wounded soldiers, into much needed est centers for merchant seamen in foreign ports, and inside the barbed wire of war prison camps. "The dollars of the people of Indana also will be going into homes where visiting nurses take their skill ind encouragement to combat illicss; into homes for orphaned, dependent and neglected children; to •enters where young people arc earning essential lessons of good itlzenship and constructive activity, ind into the providing of care for urippled children, the blind, the lame ind the aged. "Our dollars will help feed, cloth and shelter the tragic and war-torn populations of countries which ate our allies. Millions today are homeless; millions of children are crying' for just a little food Our fighting, men and women from our own homes and neighborhoods will honor us for our efforts in spreading this message j of mercy and help."
