BITE TO WITHIN 3 Ml. OF CASSINO Fight Mud, Snow, Drive Into Heart Of German Defense" Allied Hpadauarters, Algiers. Jan.

11 (URi The Allied 5th Army's Rome-bound offensive pounded northward on a ten-mile front through the mud and snow of central Italy today and front reports disclosed that American infantrymen had slashed deep into the enemy's center to within les than three miles of the1 fortress town of Cassino. Striking with Increasing fury on both sides of the Via Casilina. an cient invasion route to the Tiber, two American spearheads converged on Cassino from the northeast and south, closing a ring behind them on the strongly-defended German outpost at Cervaro, four miles below Cassino. The advance was a fiercely-contested drive from ridge to ridge, through foot-deep mud and snow into the mountain peaks forming the heart of the German defense line astride the Rome road. British Make Gains British units on the left wine of the Allied offensive line inched forward along a bend of the Gariell- ano River In a holding maneuver mat served the twin purpose of threatening the right flank of the Cassino defenses and of protecting the advancing Americans from a German flanking attack.

One American column struck north of the Rome road to drive the Nazis from the crest of Mount Piperni, less than a mile east of Cervaro. South of the road other American infantrymen stormed over Mount Trocchio and pushed on to within three miles of Cassino for an advance of two miles. Front reports indicated that the battle was increasing in intensity all along the front, with the Germans putting up their fiercest resistance around Carvano and in the mountains flanking the road. The right wing of the American line pushed on through the captured village of San Giusta and fought its way onto the slopes of Mount Piperni. Throughout the i dav the fighting swaved back and i forth across.

Axis Firing Squad Executes Ciano Continued from Page 1 vannl Marinelll, Carlo Pareschi, and Luciano Gottardi. Voted to Oust Mussolini All were members of the Fascist Grand Council and voted last July to depose Mussolini as dictator of Italy. The 40-year-old Ciano's Black-shirt career began more than 22 years ago when he joined the "castor oil" march on Rome.

Hlsstar ascended with his marriage to Mussolini's red-haired daughter Edda, and his appointment to the post of Foreign Minister in 1936. It waned last February when he was removed from that post and named Envoy to the Vatican. And It went out today under the bullets of Mussolini's Squadrlstl. The DNB dispatch was dated Verona, Indicating that the executions may have been carried out in the courtyard of the fourteenth-century Vecchia Castle, where the treason trials were staged. Russian Snub Seen To Polish Regime Continued from Page 1 day as a compromise toward settlement of the Soviet-Polish border i dispute, the most serious threat to unity among the United Nations to date.

The Soviets also offered to on its demand for the entire terri tory occupied by Russia by agreement with Germany, but well-informed sources said the situation now had reached the stage where the Poles "must accept or shut up." Cabinet Crisis Looms Some quarters believed It not unlikely that the Soviet offer would precipitate a Polish Cabinet crisis resulting in the resignation of the present government or a complete re-shuffle, especially since the Russians attacked the Incumbents as incapable. Well-informed sources here believed Russia's offer, which suggested the Curzon Line of 1919 as a possible Soviet Polish boundary, would be the final gesture by Premier Josef Stalin during the war with the possibility that, if the question were left until after the war, Poland might lose much more territory. 'Polish Up the Old Says Mrs. Carrie C. Catt Mrs.

franklin D. Roosevelt, paying tribute to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Bowles Hits at Mayor For Attack on OP A On the subject of "a realistic tax law," the President called for legislation to "tax all unreasonable profits, both individual and corporate, and reduce the ultimate cost of the war to our sons and daughters." "The tax bill now under consideration by the Congress does not begin to meet this test." he asserted. His renegotiation plan, he said, would "prevent exorbitant profits and assure fair prices to the Government." The new recommended food law, the President said, would enable the Government "to place a reasonable floor under the price the farmer may expect for his production," and place a ceiling on the prices paid for food by consumers. Continuing his fight for subsidies, the President said this plan "should apply to necessities only, and will require public funds" amounting to about 1 percent of the annual cost of the war.

This would be roughly $1,000,000,000. Warns of Price Chaos He pointed out that the stabilization law expires June 30. 1944, and "if It is not extended well in advance, the country might Just as well expect price chaos by Summer." Elaborating on the necessity for national service, the President said "there are millions of American men and women who are not in this war at all." "It is not because they do not want to be in it," he said. "But they want to know where they can best do their share. National service provides that direction.

It will be a means by which every man and woman can find that inner satisfaction which comes from making the fullest possible contribution to victory." He assured the working people of the nation that national service legislation would not mean "reduction in wages or loss of retirement and seniority rights and benefits." Legislature Probe Jury Is Dismissed Albany, Jan. 11 (U.R) A Supreme Court grand jury, summoned by the Albany Democratic administration to investigate Republican-controlled Legislatures, was discharged today by Justice Francis Bergan.

May Ky.) expected the committee to approve a measure today and to bring it to the floor by Thursday. Members indicated the committee would recommend the War Department's original bill providing a mustering-out pay scale of $100 for less than four months of service; $200 for from four to six months, and $300 for six months or more. The Senate has approved a measure providing benefits ranging from $200 to $500.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt made the presentation.

Lodging House Owners Not Liable in Fatal Fire District Attorney Frank S. Hogau announced today in Manhattan that the owners of the W. 42d St. lodging house which burned Christmas Eve with the loss of 19 lives were not responsible under the law. But he recommended legislation compelling lodging houses to Install fireproof furniture and other fire-impeding material.

Such a bill was defeated in the Legislature in 1940, '41 and '42. Urges State School Aid 1 Be Pegged at '42 Level Albany, Jan. 11 Assemblyman Lewis W. Olliffe, Brooklyn Republican, called on the Legislature today to "peg" State-aid for schools at the 1942 ''The municipalities of the State cannot possibly stand any more taxation to meet the costs of education," he said, in introducing a measure to carry out his proposal.

The capture of Nemirov and Ko-marov, the latter nine miles southeast of outflanked Vinnitsa, cut a 20-mile slice out of the Vinnitsa-Pervorraisk railway, one of the feeder lines for the Odessa-Warsaw trunk line from the Dnieper bend. Security Tax Boost Prooosa! Hit Washington, Jan. 11 (U.R) The administration's insistence on an BILL ADVANCING PRIMARY DATE NEARS PASSAGE Senate Reports It Out, With Enactment Forecast Next Week Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Albany, Jan.

Action by the Senate committee, to which the bill was referred last night immediately after its introduction, followed a prediction by S. Howard Cohen, president of the Board of Elections of New York City, that "squawks" would result over some of its provisions. The measure cuts down the time for circulating designating positions from 11 to 10 weeks and also allows less time for contesting the petitions filed for the election of national convention delegate and party leaders. The measure was introduced shortly after the New York City election commissioners had conferred here with Charles D.

Breital, the Governor's counsel, on the necessity of changing the presentlt scheduled primary date, Aug. 4. which conflicts with certain holy days. Satisfactory Says Crews Election Commissioner John R. Crews, who is Kings County Republican leader, said the bill was sawsiaciory as iar as ne was con i Cohen said, however, he would have preferred April 11 or 18.

"There will probably be squawks, but," he added, "they have the votes." Meanwhile, suggestions that the early primary date was aimed at the Wendell Willkie forces to give them less time to prepare for a primary fight in case they contest the election of Republican national delegates gained no substantiation. Crews, when asked if the bill was a factor in the Willkie situation, replied: "preposterous." Although Governor Dewey has Insisted he is not a candidate for the presidential nomination, there have been increasing indications he may be drafted.

"They are sending out kids In their naval air force. We get these little yellow menkeys now, and they're mostly kids who aon't know what it's all about."

Scornfully, the President cited the "noisy minority" which demands special favors from Congress. Hits at 'Special Groups' "There are pests who swarm through the lobbies of Congress and the cocktail bars of Washington," he continued, "representing these special groups as opposed to the basic interests of the nation as a whole. If there ever was a time to subordinate individual or group selfishness to the national good, that time Is now." "Disunity at home bickering, self-seeking partisanship, stoppages of work, Inflation, business as usual, politics as usual, luxury as usual these are the influences which can undermine the morale of brave men ready to die on the front for us here." The time has come, he said, to prepare for a lasting peace and he added a fourth category to the evils against which over the years he has said he would protect the people the "Ill-fed, Ill-clothed, Ill-housed and Insecure." FIREMEN OBTAIN WRIT IN DISPUTE ON EXTRA HOURS Show-Cause Order Requires Walsh Reply In Court Tomorrow Fire Commissioner Patrick Walsh must appear in court tomorrow to answer a charge of the Uniformed Firemen's Association that his order abolishing the three-platoon system is unjustified and that the present manpower shortage in the department, basis of the order, does not constitute an emergency as defined by State statute.

The appearance of the commissioner is required as the result of a show cause order obtained by the association from Supreme Court Justice McLaughlin in Manhattan yesterday. The order is now in the hands of City Corporation Counsel Ignatius Wilkinson. Commissioner Walsh ordered elimination of the three-platoon system following a dispute about granting firemen a $420 yearly bonus for additional duty. The U. F.

A. decided against the payment, saying it preferred straight time for overtime. It was said that firemen would average 10 cents an hour more by the straight time method of payment. Mayor La-Guardla then revoked the plan. The show cause order was brought In behalf of Vincent J.

Kane, president of U. F. and three members. It was denied there was an acute manpower shortage and the petition pointed to the fact that 30,000 persons had been trained in the Fire Department Emergency Auxiliary Corps. The petition also claimed there was an excess of deputy chiefs.

Denying the commissioner's power to abolish the three-platoon system, the petition said it may only be changed after the Governor and Legislature had acted and after New York City voters had ap- proved the action at a referendum.

While the Brooklyn against the paid is complete and could have been pre.nted to the grand jury today, Arting District Attorney Thomas Cradock Hughes is now treating it as a routine matter while investigation of the prisoners' movement prior to their first known Washington crime is being contn-ued by police of all States between Washington and Virginia.

As a public figure who has in the past always supported the effort to keep living costs from rising, why not aim your harpoons at the real target?" Truman Sees Meed War Economy The army and navy must make constant revisions in their manpower and material requirements to avoid disruption of the home front economy, Senator Harry S. Truman chairman of the special Senate committee investigating the war program, declared today.

Speaking at a meeting of the National Retail Dry Goods Association in the Hotel Pennsylvania, Senator Truman pointed out that members of his committee have "repeatedly urged upon the army and navy that they constantly check and recheck their plans to Insure that they do not take either manpower or materials which they cannot put to some effective war use. He warned that "if we put mora men into the army and navy than can be trained, equipped and transported to combat areas, we will deprive ourselves of materials and manpower without obtaining any military advantaqe in return." Edward N. Allen, president of the association, last night told the convention that political dilferences should be submerged in a win-the-war unity. He also held that price controls were essential to curb inflation.

Purging New York's finest of "any stench of Drewism'' was urged on Mayor LaGuardia by Representative Emanuel Celler in a speech before the House In Washington in which the Brooklynlte charged "a cabal of Fascists" exists in the New York Police Department. Representative Celler told the House that compliments were in order for LaGuardia because of his stand in the case of Paatrolman James L. Drew of Brooklyn, who was exonerated by Police Commissioner Valentine of charges of subversive activities and anti-Semitism.

The Mayor appointed a three-man board to review the police commissioner's decision. Observing that the Mayor's announcement of the board's findings was due soon, Representative Celler expressed agreement with the Mayor's "desire to weed out forces represented by Patrolman Drew in the Police Department" and called for elimination of the "virus" of "Drewism." Blames Breckinridge Long Discussing the plight of European Jews In a radio broadcast last night, Representative Celler said the Baldwin-Rogers resolution "recognized the unique tragedy of the Jew" and that "he (the Jew) alone had been singled out for total extinction." He charged that Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long at a hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to which the bill was referred, "distinguished himself as a betrayer of human values." Long, in charge of policies relating to refugees in the State Department, sought to "discourage" favorable action on the resolution, Celler said. Representative Celler declared he had watched the Interdepartmental Review Committee of the State Department's visa division "move with coia-oiooaea deliberation in grant ing a visa, indifferent to what every passing moment may mean." how can Mr. Lone boast, nf the pdr main?
