Holiday in Rome
ALGIERS, Nov. 30.—(INS)—
The British Eighth army today shattered the Adriatic flank of the nazi "winter line" across Italy by merging its two bridgeheads across the Sangro river and seizing heights dominating the entire Sangro valley. A special
allied headquarters communique tonight announced the occupation of nazi anchor bases for the line and revealed a huge gap had been blasted :n the main German defenses.
Capture of four more strategic mountain villages placed Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery's veterans in control of the high ridge overlooking the valley, said the communique.
Merger of the two river Bridgeheads was declared to have formed "one large penetration in the enemy defensive position." "Our troops," said the triumphant announcement, "have driven deep into the main enemy winter line."
The smashing gains by Montgomery's men, eager to observe Christmas in Rome, were announced
in a communique from Gen. Dsvight D. Eisenhower's headquarters.
The British threw back-bitter nazi counterattacks and threatened collapse of the entire Adriatic flank of the German winter line after gouging out a 48 square mile hole in the enemy's main defenses northwest of the lower Sangro river.

Crowds Defiant
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 30.— (INS)—
The Norwegian capital of Oslo was reported in a state of high tension tonight as a result of the arrest ol approximately 1500 students and all of the professors of Iho University of Oslo. Advices reaching Stockholm said that l a r g e crowds had gathered in the streets of the city and openly defied police orders that they return to their homes.
The police roundup was said to have been staged without warning. The students were surrounded -in the socalled Deichman's library where they were reading. They were informed by nazi police chief Redicss that they were to be sent to a special concentration camp in Germany. Later, only the women students were released.
Seldom before have the Germans and their quisling henchmen so enraged the population of Oslo, according to reports reaching Stockholm. Of the 2000.students at the university, only a very few were nazis and of all the professors only four were classed as quislings.
