PATRIOTS IN ROME CONTACT INVADERS
MADRID, Jan. 25—<UPI—Italian
patriot groups near Rome have es-
tablished radio contact with Allied
invasion forces and are signaling
the extent and direction of “frantic"
German troop and materiel move-
ments within the city, reports from
German-held Italy said today.
. The patriots, operating from
hideouts in the city's suburbs,
were understood to have report-
ed feverish German defense
measures in the face of the
advancing Fifth army.
• • -
German Marshal Albert-Kessel-
ring, Italian sources said, hastily
was transferring his headquarters
from the area of Frascati, 10 miles
south of Rome's center, to a point
at a “safe distance" to the north.
All German ammunition dumps
and army reserve units also were
being rushed out of the city to
points of vantage northward. It was
reported.
(Stockholm dispatches reported
that three important bridges in the
Rome area were destroyed by Ital-
ian Partisans aided by Allied para-
chute-units.) 1
Italian reports said the Ro-.d
mans were making no effort to
conceal their joy at the ap-
proach of the American! and
British despite stern repressive
measures by German occupation
authorities.
Excited groups’ several times drew
out hidden firearms, reports said,
but were dispersed quickly by black-
shirt Fascist police. The city's Ger-
man police garrison was understood
to have requested a reinforcement
of three battalions to quell incipient
uprisings.
Authorities at the Vatical City
are prepared to face “any eventu-
alities" in the event Rome becomes
a battle theater, reports said.
Pope Plus XII, who has rejected
German suggestions that he leave
the Vatican for a south German
city, has been taking his customary
daily walks in the Vatican gardens
accompanied by Swiss guards, Ital-
ian sources said.

More to Go
By United Press
A dispatch from the new Al-
lied beachhead in Italy said to-
day that a correspondent tour-
ing the front area was "in per-
fectly clear view of Velletri,
Genzano and Albano"—the lat-
ter town only 12 miles south-
east of Rome and on the histor-
ic Appian Way.
By the Associated Press
The Berlin radio indicated
today that American troops
had driven within 22 miles of
Rome and cut the Appian
Way and main coastal rail-
way by capturing Velletri, 18
miles northeast of Nettuno.
ON APPIAN WAX___-
"American troops are finding de-
bris and ashes there after their own
bombs transformed the little town
into a heap of ruins," the radio re-
port said. Velletri is on the Appian
Way and only nine miles from the
Via Casilina, the inland highway
leading to the Cassino battlefield to
the south.
Allied headquarters announced
only that American and British
troops had advanced 12 miles in-
land. The Germans were reported
shifting their troops from the Cas-
sino-Garigliano front in the south
to meet the new threat to Rome. A
headquarters office said Hitler, des-
perately needing a victory, "may
decide to throw great forces into
Italy and tell his generals they must
produce a victory at any cost.”
Headquarter! said “hastily organ-
ized battle groups" opposed Allied
spearheads in the expanding Rome
front. Americans around Cassino
engaged the German* in fierce bat-
tle: the French beat back several
Nazi stabs around Mt. Croce; and
the British on the Garigliano near
the Mediterranean held their
bridgeheads.
The Nazis still were launching
fierce counterattacks on that main
front, but these blows have decreas-
hat in number and in-
ed somew
tensity in the last 24-hours, indicat-
ing that enemy forces were being
pulled back to meet the invasion
flanking threat.
The beachhead has been
lengthened, headquarters de-
clared, without disclosing the
area It covers. Reinforcements
and supplies continued to pour
in with little enemy interfer-
ence, and the communique said
the town ef Anils, bordering
Nettuno te the west, had been
taken.
Fierce fighting raged on the
American sector along the Rapido
river near Cassino with heavy fire
by all kinds of weapons.
U. S. patrols recrossed the stream
to probe enemy defenses, but no
counteroffensive was launched by
the Americans to keep a force on
the western bank The Germans,
who on Sunday hurled the Ameri-
cans back across.the river, made no

Ranchman Finds
Remains of Body
Remains of a body, apparently
that of a serviceman, were found on
the Bill Drummond ranch, four or

the maneuver area and View by
Drummond late Monday afternoop.
Mostly bones, scattered as though
predatory animals had been dis-
turbing them, were found along
with OI shoes and clothes, appar-
ently army fatigue uniform. No dog
tags or other identification were
found, and the only flesh was some
in the shoes.
Several months ago, a Mexican
working for Drummond found a
regulation Webb belt and M-1 rifle
about 100 yards from where the
body was found Monday, and were
brought to the Drummond ranch
house.

Victor W Wales, commanding offi-
