Nazis Retire to Strong Defense South of Rome
(International News Service)
Possibility of a major German counter-offensive in Italy was mentioned for the first time in dispatches from Algiers today, with stress upon the orderly manner in which Nazi troops fell back to a new and extraordinary strong defense line south of Rome.
There was a sharp contrast between the situation in Italy and that in Russia, where the Germans were routed from scores of key points in the Dneiper river loop, and fled for their lives.
On the Italian front, there was no sign of a disorderly retreat. On the contrary, the German fought stiff rear-guard action and poured many salvoes of artillery into the allied lines. The new enemy line, which shapes up as the strongest and best fortified the Allies have yet encountered in Italy extends from Mondragone to the Adriatic sea. Germans May Delay By Attack.
Germans may delay An International News Service dispatch from General Eisenhower's headquarters emphasized that the Allied high command is not overlooking the possibility the Germans may attack in an attempt to delay if not actually disrupt the time-table for occupation of the Italian Capital.
Heavy German reinforcements are being thrown into the new lines. Immediately ahead lies one of those

40 New V-5 Cadets Arrive Here Tonight
Forty V-5 cadets are arriving tonight from Liberty, Mo. They are part of 205 cadets leaving Liberty this week, the largest naval air corps group to be graduated from there. The new program will start here Friday. The men will live in the Triangle and Phi Psi houses, said CAA Coordinator C.R. Shields.
Transfers in houses have been made by the Navy groups. V-5 men were formerly quartered in the Triangle, TKE, and Delta Chi houses. The Delta Chi house has been traded to the V-12 group for the Phi Psi house so that all of the V-5 group would be together. Cadets from both the Triangle and the Phi Psi house eat in the Phi Psi house and Lt. Neil has set up his offices there. The TKE house has been returned to its civilian status.
Ten new Navy N3N trainer planes arrived at the airport this week to make a total of 46 planes. This is the largest number of planes that has ever been there. Training in them will start Friday.
To Dedicate Building Next Semester
Lack of steam and electricity in the new military science building will make it impossible to dedicate the building before the early part of the winter semester, the Chancellor's office reported today.
"If lights and heat are in the building by November, we hope for dedication at that time," said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the office.
Final Exams Cancel Wednesday Mid-Week
There will be no mid-week Wednesday, because of final examinations, Joanne J o h n s o n, president of Union Activities, announced today. "We are planning to have mid-week regularly during the coming semester," Miss Johnson added.
Large Audience Hears Wilkins
A large audience welcomed Marie Wilkins, Metropolitan lyric-colatura soprano, warmly—but politely—as she stepped on to the stage in Hoch auditorium last night to present the opening concert in the University Concert Course series.
By DOLORES SULZMAN
As the program progressed, the audience expressed their appreciation with less reserve and showed increasing enthusiasm throughout the evening's presentation. Mrs. Wilkins, wife of Joseph Wilkins, head of the department of voice, performed in a charming manner with a composure which reflected her career with the Metropolitan Opera association. She was generous
