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.

Allied fighters and fighter
bombers swarmed out ahead of
the advancing ground forces
and rained a steady hall of bul
lets and bombs on retreating
German tanks, trucks and other
vehicles clogging roads almost
bumper to bumper as far north
as Lake Bolsena, 50 mile; above
Rome. 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.

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.
