Allied Headquarters, Naples— (AP) —

American patrols who entered Terracina, German anchor on the Italian west

coast, have been driven back, it was announced Monday.

The Germans were reported fiercely resisting a renewed American thrust southwest of Pico in the center of the front. The Germans rushed reinforcements

from the north into the sagging coastal line sector against the Americans, and  Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's troops quickly captured 100 prisoners from them.

Headquarters declared the Germans now have 17 divisions committed against the main offensive and the Anzio beachhead, and have "nothing left in reserve south, of Rome."

French troops toward the center took, lost, and then recaptured .Monday, Monte Leucio west of Pico on the road from Pontecorvo.

Canadians penetrated the Hitler line northeast of Pontecorvo, on the lower edge of the Liri valley, piercing barbed wire entanglements," headquarters said.

Asks for Data

About Roads

London — ( AP ) —

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's supreme headquarters told the peoples of occupied countries Monday more ways to help the invasion armies — by providing intimate

knowledge about roads, bridges, rivers, woods and possible landing fields.

The broadcast came after a German threat of "terrible and bloody reprisals" against any French patriots who heed Eisenhower's previous call to take up

arms and help the invasion forces.

A member of Eisenhower's staff told the radio listeners: "Listen carefully. For some time you have been receiving from voices already well known to you advice and instructions on how to prepare yourselves for the final phase of the struggle for liberation

"The supreme commander wishes you to know  that what you have heard is in accordance with his plans and wishes.

"In due course, you will receive advice and instructions from the supreme commander himself.

"In the meantime, he direct you to continue to note well and to act on advice and instruction by speakers introduced in his behalf."

The. threat of reprisals against those who help the Allies came from the Vichy radio.

"Consider carefully before you listen to General .Eisenhower," said Philippe Henriot, Vichy information minister, in a broadcast in direct answer to Eisenhower'

statement of Saturday.

"The Allied invasion is a gamble and its success is a very open question."

Wartime Dry

Bill Seems

Corked Up

Washington, D. C.—(INS)—

The prohibition issue appeared to be a "dead duck" Monday as a house ."judiciary subcommittee

cancelled hearings on a wartime "dry" bill originally scheduled for this week.

At least half of the subcommittee members expressed opposition to the bill introduced by

Rep. Bryson (D-SC) an informal poll disclosed.

Rep. Hobbs (D-Ala), subcommittee chairman, told reporters no date has been set for further hearings in support of Bryson's measure.

"All I can say," said Hobbs, "is that there will not be any hearings anytime soon."

It was generally conceded by committee members that the controversial prohibition question will

not be aired in congress at least until after the November elections.

"It's just too hot to handle in an election year," one •• member maintained. He labeled the

Bryson bill as "the hottest thing our subcommittee has ever handled."

At least three of .the six-man subcommittee handling the measure said privately they were

against it, and a fourth was disclosed by his fellow members as also being opposed.

The author's office was unable to explain the delay on the hearings at which a group of, industrialists were slated.to testify on liquor's ill effects on war workers' productive capacity.
