ALLIES PURSUE ACROSS TIBER American Tank, Infantry Forces Stream North to Destroy German Armies. Allied Headquarters, Naples, June 5 U.R) The Fifth army completed the occupation of Rome, first Axis-held capital in Europe to be liberated, and swept on without pause across the Tiber River today in close pursuit of German forces flee ing in disorder toward a new defense line possibly 150 miles to the north. American tank and infantry vanguards already were stream ing north of Rome under orders to annihilate the enemy armies when allied headquarters an nounced the triumphant libera tion of the religious capital of the world in a special commun quo on the 271st day of the Ital ion campaign. Tiber Crosied "Troops of the Fifth army occupied Rome on the night of June 4-5," the communique said. "Leading elements have passed through the city and are across the Tiber in some places. (Adolf Hitler was reported by the official German news agen cy DNB to have ordered his forces to withdraw northwest of Rome to avoid drawing the ancient capital into the battle area. The clandestine radio At lantic said the Germans were rushing three divisions from southern France and two others from northern Italy in an at tempt to stem the allied tide.) (Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark, commander of the Fifth army, called the fall of Rome a "step ping stone toward the complete surrender of Germany" in a mpcgniffl tn A KavinffS BroUD committee in London.) Soma Resistance Despite the Nazi declaration of Rome as an open city, Ger man tanks, machine gunners and snipers offered sporadic re sistance throughout the ancient capital yesterday and last night In an attempt to delay the Al lied advance, which covered more than 15 miles in the final 24 hours. A few enemy demolitions were reported, but Reynolds Packard, United Press war cor respondent, said In a dispatch from the city that Rome ap peared about 05 per cent Intact apart from the railway yards wrecked by Allied bombs.

At least 600 tanks and other vehicles were destroyed or damaged yesterday alone. Lack Traniport The increasing destruction of the enemy's transport, his lack of adequate reserves and the overwhelming numerical and armored superiority of the al lies raised hopes here that the Fifth army n.ay be able to over take and destroy a consider able portion of the retreating forces before they .reach their next fortified line hinged on Florence and stretching across the narrowest part of the upper Italian peninsula. Allied planes also bombed highways and bridges north of Rome in a further effort to stall the enemy retreat. Pilots re ported German dead were visi ble along the roadside beside their wrei ked and burning ve hicles. Some elements of the Fifth army by-passed Rome from the east In their race to cut off the German withdrawal, while oth er forces to the southwest were ncaring the mouth of the Tibet river. All the Colli Laziali the Al- ban Hills between the Via Casillna and the Appian Way southwest of Rome were under allied "control," an official spokesman said, with the en emy survivors fleeing toward the Tiber estuary. Northwest of the Via Casi- lina, the Fifth army occupied Palcstrina and Cave, five and three miles respectively above Valmontone. Many Face Trap Thousands of German troops both southeast and southwest of Rome appeared in imminent danger of death or capture as result of the sudden collapse of enemy resistance immediately below the capital. German pris oners captured since the start of the current offensive May 12 already exceed 20,000. The enemy s plight was fur ther increased by the supposed severing of the only bridge across the Tiber west of Rome in an RAF raid Saturday night. The British Eighth army, meantime, struck deep into the enemy's flank In the Sacco riv er and Llri river valleys, cap turing Pallano, eight and a half miles northeast of Valmontone and nearly 13 miles northwest of Ferenllno; Giuggi, eight miles north of Ferentino, and Gunrcino, eight miles northeast of Ferentino. L Strawberries of the Medford district are now at their peak and are Just beginning to be harvested In the Ashland and Prospect sections, Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy re ports. A shipment from the Trail district arrived today and went on sale In grocery stores. Due to the low ceiling price and the shortage of labor many growers are selling their berries off the vine to consumers. Gro cers estimate not as many straw berries will be canned and pro cessed In the homes as last year. The cherry crop of the valley this year will be late and As sistant County Agent C. B. Cordy thinks they will be ready to pick by the first of July and a few the last week of the month. The crop Is light and late. Cloelnit tima for Cliuwifled aria 0 a. m.
