Gen. Mark W. Clark's American and Bri- tish Fifth Army has broken into the heart of the enemy's winter line to a depth of two miles and is driving toward Rome "according to plan," the Allies announced today. The thunderous bombardment which laid down a curtain of fire in front of Clark's charging troops was described as one of the greatest in the histo'ry of warfare-perhaps even greater than that which broke the German line at El Alamein in Egypt, because it was concentrated in a smaller area. Extremely bitter fighting continued today as the Fifth Army smashed in- to the maze of fortifications on- and around 2,800-foot Monte Camino, four miles southwest of Mignano. The assault, aimed in the direction of the vital highway center of Cassino, al- ready had driven the Nazis -from the important Camino and Maggiore heights west of Mignano. The British Eighth Army, knifing ahead on the Adriatic flank, reached the outskirts of San Vito, 16 miles below the port of Pescara, and in fierce fighting captured the import- ant highway and railway center and See ITALY, p. 6 Be A Goodfellow - Represen .tative Of Nurse Corps To0'Speak Here Miss Rusby To Hold Discussions in League Tomorrow, Tuesday Miss Dorothy Rusby, representative of the National Nursing Council for War Service and the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, will hold informal discussions tomorrow and Tuesday in the League and in the dormitories on This Is What They Are Doing for Us Big Three Delay Official Drive from . .

Marines stormed the Japanese on the atoll.. Marine casualties were the highest in the history of the corps in this victory. In the 72-hour battle, 1,026 men died and 2,557 were wounded. War casualties in all theatres to date are 28,573 killed, 41,110 wounded, 33,416 missing and 27,642 prisoners of war. This totals 130,741 casualties for United States servicemen. W E h * * * This Is What We Can Do for Them Here are some jobs that University women can do: UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL VOLUNTEERS: Carry trays, water, assist nurses in routine care of the patients and other odd jobs. 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. week :days; 9 a.m. to noon, 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday; 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday. CHILD CARE: Direct children in playground activities at different schools from 1 to 3 p.m. week days; direct Girl Scout and Girl Reserve Troops; take care of children any time someone is needed. The last is a paying position. JUNIOR GIRLS' PROJECT: Sell war stamps and bonds in campus booths from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. week days and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. All women, not only juniors, may participate in this project. The procedure for the above jobs is to fill out information blanks in the League Under- graduate Office, specifying the hours it is most convenient for you to work. Turn in the blanks at the office, and the heads of each project will compare your hours with the time help is most needed. She will then notify you when you are to work. Women need not sign up at the League for the following jobs since any number of girls may work at any time: '47 CORPS: Cleaning up the campus. 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and 1 to 5 p.m. week days and Satur- days. Go directly to the University substation behind Barbour gymnasium to get directions and materials. SURGICAL DRESSINGS: Making bandages for the Red Cross. 1 to 5 p.m. in the League Wed- nesdays through Fridays. The following jobs are paid work. Hours are arranged to fit in with your class schedule: UNIVERSITY LAUNDRY: Noon to 5:30 p.m. week days and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. This work is also done through filling out forms in the League office. UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: Ward helpers. Go directly to the hospital and inquire at the in- formation desk. LIBRARY WORK: General work. Apply to Miss Predrika Gillette, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. week days on the second floor of the main library. Girls are placed from here in all University study halls. HEALTH SERVICE: Experienced help needed in infirmary as general assistants to nurses. See Miss Faith Angell in Health Service. This does not by any means exhaust the list of jobs that need to be done. Defense factories in town need women who can work four hours a day or more. Every drug store and restaurant needs waitresses. Department stores need clerks. Our suggestion is that corridors in the dormi- tories, cooperatives, league houses and sororities organize under their presidents so that each girl has a specific job to do. It is doing the work regularly that makes it worth while. By RICHARD G. MASSOCK Associated Press Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 4.-Under a coun- ter-fire of German propaganda, Pres- ident Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin tonight withheld official word on the out- come of their momentous Persian conference to hasten Germany's de- feat and shrivel her military might for the future safety of Europe. Presumably, the official statement of their accomplishments was being delayed while Roosevelt and Chur- chill travelled home from Teheran, capital of Iran, where the Moscow radio announced officially that the conference had been held. Reuters Reports: A Reuters report from Istanbul said "It is believed that the Teheran conference lasted four days, ending Thursday." Sunday newspapers in London re- ported Stalin had returned to Mos- cow. Typical of exultant headlines was the pictorial's "It's All Fixed," over a story predicting that the agreements, when disclosed, would reveal unani- mity on plans for death blows. In Washington, White House Sec- retary Stephen T. Early said he did not expect any announcement on the conference to be made soon. The German radio declared that President Ismet Inonu of Turkey had left to meet Roosevelt and Churchill, perhaps at Cairo. Stalin apparently was already back in Russia, after the first conference of the "Big Three.' Plans for Invasion Axis and neutral reports indicated Stalin had approved plans for a great invasion of Europe to shorten the war against Germany, and to press the assault on Japan planned a few days Goodfellows Will Be Sold To morrow Bringing to a climax the week-long Goodfellow Drive, more than 300 stu- dent salesmen will take to campus and city corners tomorrow to sell this year's Goodfellow Edition of The Daily. Sorority, dormitory, and publica- tions representatives will open twen- ty-seven sales posts at 8 a.m. for a nine hour sale of papers to meet the $2,000 goal. Even before these Goodfellows take to the streets, many pledges will have been received by the Goodfellow Fund in pre-campaign solicitation. Con- tributions have been received from Delta Gamma and Alpha Gamma Delta, the committee indicated. Many organizations have not yet sent their Goodfellow pledges to The Daily. The deadline for such contri- butions is set for 5 p.m. tomorrow when the drive ends. See instructions for Goodfellow salesmen on Page 6.1 "Under the sales program this year1 sororities, dormitories, and publica-I tions have been asked to man spe- cific Goodfellow posts for the day," a committee member said. Each house will be responsible for getting< their buckets and papers at the Stu- dent Publications Building on May- nard Street at 7:45 a.m., for keepingc one or two salesmen on the post throughout the day, and for return- ing materials and proceeds to the1 See GOODFELLOW, p. 3 1 earlier with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in North Africa. Those who beam Allied propagan- da from London to Europe were in- clined to consider their efforts dulled by the delay in making the results of the conference public, since wide- spread leaks and speculation took away the element of surprise. While this formal announcement still was awaited, speculating was rife on what the decisions might be. These guesses covered the probability that the Big Three had agreed upon a master plan for a great invasion of Europe and an Allied military leader to command it, a concerted program in the Balkans, and such political problems as measures to deprive Ger- many of the power of aggression af- ter the war ends. Censorship of Allied Press To Be Tightened LONDON, Dec. 4.-(IP)-Drastic re- vision of Allied press policy and a tightening of liaison between the Bri- tish and American censorships is ex- pected in London as a result of the fumble that gave Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels 15 days in which to talk down the Big-Four confer- ences without any official Allied pro- nouncements. British Minister of Information Brendan Bracken, who told the House of Commons Thursday that "Some- thing must be done," has been con- ferring with British and American of- ficials, examining leaks through which the story of the conferences began to pour out a week before they began,_ and two weeks before they ended. U. S. Ambassador John G. Winant is receiving a full report of these ne- gotiations. The- first measure to coordinate British-American censorships more closely probably will be appointment by Bracken .of a "censorship ambas- sador" to Washington-a liaison of- ficer to work directly with the U. S. Office of Censorship. The appoint- ment was proposed to Byron Price, Director of U. S. Censorship, as a re- sult of a conference between Bracken and John S. Knight, Price's chief liaison officer in London. Liaison now is maintained through the British Embassy in Washington instead of directly through Bracken's own appointee. -- Be A Goodfellow - Simons To Give Talk Tomorrow Dr. Hans Simons, dean of the school for social research in New York City, will present a lecture on "The Problem of German Recon- struction" at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow in the Rackham lecture hal. The lecture will be under the aus- pices of the political science depart- ment, with Prof. James K. Pollock in- troducing the speaker. Considered an expert in the fields of international relations and public administration, Dr. Simons was on the staff of the German delegation to Versailles in 1919 and was executive director of the League of Nations As- sociation from 1919-22.

The conference brought together more than 200 adult and youth lead- ers from more than 25 Michigan co- munities to exch pnge ideas on what each community is doing to fight the problems of delinquency. Berry keynoted the conference at the morning session drawing his re- marks from the Governor's report on delinquency which he helped to pre- pare. "There can be nothing but delin- quency in homes where family super vision has been exchanged for war jobs by many mothers," he said. The report pointed out that the metropolitan area of Detroit face the most serious conditions of delin-. quency in the state. "The seriousness of delinquency is proportional to the concentration of population. Detroit has felt the lack of family supervision more because of the demands of war work," he stated. He advanced an expanded progrwu of comprehensive recreation as t, most important solution to the pro- blem.

Cape Gloucester is on the western tip of New Britain, the island to which Japan has hinged all other Southwestern Pacific positions, and is in an area vulnerable to invasion from ground forces of Gen. Douglas MacArthur on nearby New Guinea. In the same sector, on New Bri- tain's south central coast, aerial bom- bardments of the Gasmata airdrome have been augmented by the first naval shelling ever directed at the pivotal island. In northeastern New Guinea, Thunderbolts waged an air battle with 24 enemy fighter planes over Wewak, downing four without loss. - Be A Goodfellow - Ickes Announces Plan j WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-('}-In- Democrats Split Over Army Vote WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. -(P)-A smoldering controversy between Sen- ate Democrats broke into the open today with a charge by Senator Guf- fey (Dem-Pa) that southern members of his party had joined in an "unholy alliances" with Republicans to "de- prive the armed forces of America of the right to vote."

The Commission's report indicated an expenditure of $8,460,800 for a building expansion program on cam- pus. When approved by the State Leg- islature, the building program will extend over a six year period and calls for expansion and moderniza- fire hazards as University Hall, con- structed in 1871 and condemned in 1923, and East Hall, abandoned by the Ann Arbor school system as be- ing unsafe. The first period of expansion will see $185,000 spent on elimination of fire traps, and $100,000 for making surveys and plans. Next year, 1944-45, $175,000 would be alloted for rehabilitating buildings that can safely be renovated and $3,000,000 for actual construction. In 1945-46 two millions will be al- duction from the 26 millions asked1 for in the Building report issued two weeks ago.} The University now is preparing an adjusted building program under the new figure which will give in detail which construction projects will be attempted first.
