Joseph Pesso, 29 Edward survived a fierce battle in whicn General Sherman medium tanks heloed surround Cassino, desperatcly-held Nazi stronghold on the road to Rome, with a ring of steel.

Pesso was a gunner of the first tank that reached the edge of the city at dusk Wednesday. The tank driver, a Montanan, told an Associated Prem correspondent that "We didn't draw any fire until we were right up to the town." Then came two high explosive shells from Nazi guns that scored direct hits on the tank, failed to penetrate it, but blew off Its escape hatch. The commander ordered the tank backed from the into a draw and Petmo kept his 7.i mm. gun firing as the maneuver whs accomplished. "Yes, I threw at least 10 round at him after the lieutenant spotted the enemy gun flash." Pesso was quoted.

At least, that's what Ray F. Fowler, former district attorney, defending Mayl, sought to get across to a County Court jury yesterday afternoon in cross-examining John J. Haggerty Detective Bureau secretary, on Mayl's confession, made during long hours of questioning at the county jail and at the girl's bedside in General Hospital last Oct.

Washington was quoted by Haggerty as having given two other versions of rectiy through tortuous paths which weave back and forth on pages 1 and 4 of Form 1040, occasionally alternating with pages 2 and 3, you'll finally end up at the exit, "Amount paid with this return." It isn't absolutely essential that you be a mathematical genius although that would help. In general, however, the form, admittedly one of the toughest ever issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, is a challenge to your powers of concentration and ability to follow directions.

Figuring Doubled If you possess both qualifications plus a sound-proof room and plenty of time, you'll probably come out with flying colors.

Kramer, president of the Monroe County Independent Oil Dealers Association, said he had been called to a meeting by PAW officials in New York Monday.

Kramer represents Western Xew York retail dealers on a committee former by PAW Meeting Put Ahead Declaring the meeting was advanced by two weeks. Kramer said be considered it significant that the time fbr the meeting is a day ahead of the expiration of 8-A gasoline coupons. The 8-A coupon expire Tuesday and 9-A coupons become valid Feb. 9. "Something is brewing, that Is certain, but dealers have not been Informed yet," he added.

Among dealers, the guesses ranged from reduction in value of A coupons to further tightening In regulations on issuance of supplementary rations. Kramer disclosed that OPA gasoline enforcement was getting tighter through major suppliers' sending instructions that only coupons properly endorsed would be accepted by the oil companies. Value in gallons of any illegal coupons turned into the suppliers by retail station will be deducted from future allotments, Kramer raid. 'Tough' Situation Seen Gray D. Dickason, chairman of the rationing board's fuel oil panel, said he was informed by PAW officials that the situation was growing "tough" and said there were hints of drastic measures to injure the flow of petroleum products to the armed forces.

OPA, it was learned also. Is likely to tighten up its regulations on supplemental gasoline rations issued through plant transportation committees, which now check applications of 75 per cent of the motorists in the county. If this is done, Jt means an immense amount of woik for these committees and the gasoline panel, according to John K. Doyle, chairman of the rationing board' plant group. It was believer this would be done by enforcing greater participation in the car-share program among employes of war production plants and those engaged in civilian poods production.
