Meet Light Resistance But Fighting In South Italy Fierce And Deadly (Continued From Page 1.) French troops in the northernmost area beat back several more enemy counter-attacks, and a hot battle swirled for the Mt. Croce area. British troops kept their bridge head across the Garigliano river on the left flank of the Fifth Army line despite new Nazi counterblows, and made some gains in the Damiano bridge area. The Germans were reported counterattacking recklessly in the Minturno and Castelforte areas. A British veteran of the last war who went through the fighting in and around Minturno said: "The German dead there exceeded the dead I saw at any time during the fiercest fighting on the Somme" The German battle groups rushing against the invasion forces represent all branches and are in the nature of miniature defense divisions with their own commanders.

Presumably such groups have been drawn from several divisions facing the Fifth Army. There also were indications the Germans may bring some of their forces from northern Italy to the Rome area. Headquarters disclosed that Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, commander of Allied forces in Italy, i had personally directed the landing operations at Nettuno, and then landed himself to supervise the early operations ashore. 'i (Morocco radio, quoting unverified German reports, said Littorio had been captured.

Littorio is 12 miles due east of Nettuno. (The German communique said Allied attacks had been repulsed in southern Italy, and that three Allied destroyers, and one merch antman had been sunk off Anzio, with three other vessels probably destroyed and 11 transports damaged). It now is known the 90th Panzer Grenadiers were thrown into the Garigliano sector to support the German 94th Infantry Division, which took the brunt of the original British assault across the river and then charged in counterblows. The 94th is estimated to have lost at least 50 percent of it its combat strength in these battles. Patrols were active on the Eighth Army front and there was considerable mortar fire in the Adriatic coastal area.

Heavy bombers blasted rail yards at Vrattsa, near the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, and also struck at Skoplje in Yugoslavia yesterday. Despite bad weather, fighters and fighter bombers maintained a cover over convoys and the invasion beaches in Italy as well as roads behind the German lines. A number of Nazi bombers attacking Allied shipping were shot down. Fifteen enemy planes were destroyed during the day, and 11 Allied craft were lost. Azaleas for gifts and hospital.

Corso's Green House Milan Road HOUSE COMMITTEE WORKS FOR EASIER INCOME TAX FORMS WASHINGTON, Jan. House ways and means committee prepared today to begin work on simplification of individual income tax returns as soon as Senate-House conferees dispose of the new $2,275,000,000 tax bill. The conferees went to work on the tax measure with two major points of differences. House delegates said they would insist on their proposal to merge the income and victory taxes and to offset any loss in revenue by raising income rates. The Senate rejected this section of the House bill.

The other principal point to be ironed out was the Senate version of termination of war contract renegotiation House conferees said they would study the proposed changes with open mind. The clamor for tax simplication, long present, increased as taxpayers began receiving the latest income tax forms, admittedly the most confusing yet inflicted upon the public. Most congressmen agreed there was little prospect of simplifying the forms before March 15 but hoped to have them ready for the next income tax day. House Republicans already have swung behind a proposal by Rep. Frank Carlson, not only to simplify the forms but also to eliminate returns for all persons whose tax liability is substantially withheld at the source.

Carlson believed this would benefit 30,000,000 taxpayers. Germans Capture Jugoslav Port From Partisans LONDON, Jan. 25 forces have captured the Croatian harbor town of Senj, 34 miles southeast of Fiume, from Jugoslav Partisans in bitter fighting, a Partisan communique acknowledged today.

The communique said bitter street fighting continued for the war-torn rail terminus of Tuzla in eastern Bosnia.

Today's foray against the French channel coast followed a strong daylight assault against the same target area yesterday and a heavy blow by the U. S. Eighth Air Force's Flying Fortresses and Liberators at western Germany.

The American heavies, accompanied by strong formations of long-range Thunderbolts, nings and Mustangs, struck through adverse weather to hit their targets Some- formations were forced to turn back when clouds obscured their objectives, but the bulk of the raiders got through- and reported good bombing results. It Was the first American blow at the Reich since Jan. 11, when the Fortresses and Liberators wrecked three important German fighter plane plants within a 100- mile radius of Berlin and ran into one of their stiffest aerial battles of the war. Two heavy bombers were lost in yesterday's assault, while the raiders shot down 21 enemy fighters. One Allied fighter-bomber and 10 fighters were missing in the day-light operations over France and the Reich.

Four Arrested In Circulation Of Extra Gas Stamps WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 salvage company's paper-shredding machine which apparently failed to shred has put ration coupons worth 15,000,000 gallons of fuel oil and 5,000.000 gallons of gasoline into illicit circulation on the eastern seaboard, the Office of Price Administration disclosed today. OPA said four persons were in custody and others were being sought in connection with the investigation.

One of those in custody was described as an employe of the salvage company, located in Washington, which holds a contract for destruction of waste paper from federal offices in the capital. OPA said between August and December, 1943, it had turned over to the firm surplus stocks of ration coupons from national and district offices amounting to 23,000 pounds, for conversion into waste paper, These including coupons which were still valid for cashing and others which had fed into a shredding machine under official supervision and ostensibly torn up. Afterwards, however, they showed up in consumers' hands. Friends may write to James Wesley Lewis, M. M.
