i Continued from Page 1) dung even after Allied high explosives had battered the strong, lortress-like building to the grouna. News that the Germans had occupied the grounds of the pope's summer palace at Castel Ganoolf was regarded at another instance of Nasi determination to resist to the last at whatever cost in men or principles. '-v -Tne Oet man communique declared that a sharp attack against the German lines at Carroceto (Aprilia) had been beaten back. The Allied communique said a German attack on the beachhead was beaten back yesterday and the fact that only one attack was made that day Indicated the terrific ef fect of Allied air attacks of the previous day when four-englned I bombers were diverted from normal! long range targets to team up with medium and fighter-bombers in pulverizing the gathering panzer divisions and wrecking communications. 3,000 Germans Captured Allied headquarters announced that during the stiff fighting on both fronts during the past seven days more than 3,000 crack German troops had been taken prisoner.

This brought the Allied bag to more than 13,000 virtually one division, since the invasion of Italy began last September. This does not include the heavy losses the enemy has suffered In killed and wounded. The drive against Casslno which the Americans started in earnest just a month ago today still has failed in Its objective to smash through the Casslno gap Into the Lirt valley and thence to join up with the beachhead. The Allies may have over-estimated the value of air superiority in fighting such as rages at Casslno where blasted buildings are not sufficient to expel the defenders Man-tb-Man Fighting Even after buildings have been smashed to the ground the Germans still have to be driven out man-to-man in the bitterest fight- yet seen. Naval units which shelled the German left flank at the beachhead Included the British Cruisers Maur itius, which carried 12 six-Inch guns and the Dido, mounting ten 5-25's.

Their armament Is capable of reaching nearly every part of the beachhead front. War Analysis (Continued from Page 1) fear that loss of Rome and a Nazi retreat northward to the Etruscan line defenses might lead to political upheavals. The Germans also are risking reserves they can ill spare from other sectors to slow the Allied advance in Italy to a snail's pace. They may be hoping, as some reports from the Allied front in Italy Indicate, for a victory in the beachhead fight JJL- Ik Over 20 Tons of Paper Collected in Salvage Drive MENOMONIE. Twenty tons and 30 pounds of paper were sold to the National Biscuit company as a result of the drive here Saturday according to Everett Chilgren, Red Cedar district chairman of the Boy Scouts, who helped all day with the collection.

The railway car was packed, ready to be sent on it's way and about five tons over the twenty tons, was stored until another car could be loaded. 7 Two representatives of the Biscuit company were present all day to direct the packing of the car acid they expressed satisfaction as to the results of the one day drive and especially commended the salvage committee for their efforts In having the bundles well tied. They said that companies using the waste paper are using their supplies rapidly, having from 3 to 15 days supplies on hand, and were in the market for a constant supply. It is planned to conduct another drive as soon as feasible. Chilgren said.

Harvey Levi, 40, driver of an L.C.L. Transit company, Green Bay, truck, met his dsath Saturday morning when the large semi-truck hit a tree along STH 12 about one half mile east of Menomonie.

BT HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK. Feb. 12. The Red Cross blood plasma, which has been the foremost lifesaver of American wounded, has been split Into a a number of fractions each of which is as miraculous as plasma.

These fractions, and their, production for the' armed forces on a big scale, most of them military secrets until now, were described to the New York section of the American chemical society here last night by Dr. Edwin Conn of Harvard university. Outlines Properties One fraction, albumin, dees an the work of plasma and only one fifth the volume is required. A second, of the globulins which protect man from many diseases, is the best preventive and treatment for measles found and is in large-scale production for the armed forces. A third, made of two of the blood's clotting elements, is a new plastic, which looks like a cross between nylon and rubber, and Is in use in surgery where sheets of it have been substituted for lost layers of lining over the brain.

Two others are new substances that quickly stop bleeding In wounds. A sixth is the isohemagglutinins which define the different types of blood, and is In use In military typing. All these are only part of the story, but they are all that can be told now. The work la one of the most brilliant chemical achievements of the war. It has new postwar civilian values, Already Isolated from the plasma are hormones and other proteins which have potentially many likely human medical uses.
