of Oct. 22-28 to show that lawlessness was not of wave proportion."

The figures indicated, also, that Allied deserters are believed re-

sponsible for a greater proportion of armed assaults in Rome than are

civilians. During the week there were ten

taken from an American MP on the Naples-Rome highway. Guards were placed on the wrecked jeep and later that night. a Canadian, dressed as an American lieutenant,

and an American staff sergeant came to recover the jeep. When apprehended by the military police

they tried to shoot their way out but were unsuccessful.

vious crime records. Maj. William P. MHuntzicker,

American Provost Marshal in Rome and former Memphis, Tenn., police Official, said he had found that most American offenders did not have previous records. Both officers suggested that a small number of crimes reported as carried out by "Allied soldiers" might have been actually carried out by civilians wearing Allied uniforms, just as the civilian gangs have been operating with stolen American vehicles and American weapons.

siderable information, including addresses where other members of

the gang might be found. Meanwhile, a cafe owner in Rome was shot and killed and when Allied investigators searched certain of

the alleged Lane members' apartments, documents were found which belonged to the murdered man, police said.

Soon afterwards, Allied police

raided a cafe frequented by memhers of the gang. They surprised

several members just about to "take for a ride" an Italian civilian who was alleged to have been disposing of their stolen goods. Po-

Her main battery of six-inch guns had tossed 9,000 rounds--or more than 450 tons of metal--at the enemy.

Shells had whistled over her and around her; torpedoes had passed under her and enemy aircraft had raided her 35 times--but not a man aboard her had been killed or seriously wounded in more than two years in the Mediterranean Theater.

The ship came home for routine refitting and reconditioning in the Philadelphia Navy yard where she was built and commissioned.

Colonel Pollock said that in a three-day period last week, his AMG office, with the cooperation of the Caribinieri and Metropolitani (city police), had made 22 arrests for armed assault. As a result

of the surge of nighttime thuggery, he said more guards and roving patrols were now walking the Streets of Rome, and robberies have since decreased.

Newspaper mechanical men threatened to strike because after

leaving work in the early hours of morning they were so often mo-

lested. The strike was averted

lice smashed the windows of the car and arrested the occupants at gun point.

The hunt narrowed down to Lane, the leader. Police obtained a picture of him from his Italian

girl friend, had reproductions made and returned the picture within an hour, all without the girl's knowledge. The photograph was distributed throughout Rome, Naples and vicinity. A three-day hunt forced Lane to go to Naples and then come back to Rome.

The end came when a police agent, working alone, went to
