PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON September IS. 104$ T E ' (Continued From Page One) , Australian landing 'from Amer ican nival craft on the Huon gulf, September 4, and ,the ap parent inability of the' enemy to smash an' allied bridgehead on the Lae side of the wide, wift - flow-ing Bubu river seemed a clear demonstration of the decisive success of the allied command's strategy. That strategy was to- weaken Lae garrison to a point where it could not hope to fight its way free of an allied trap, set by the Australian American drive to Salamaua, and sprung by the seaborne landings north and airborne landings west on Lae. Drive at Town After seizing the airfield, the Australians drove, north and east toward Salamaua, . two miles away, and made a fresh contact with the enemy along a Jutting ridge a mile and a half north of the airdrome. At the same time seaborne allied troops from the east and airborne forces from the north west slowly closed their lines on Lae, 18 miles above Sala- maua and, except for that tot tering base, the only remaining Japanese position of conse quence anywhere along the 178-mile rim of Huon gulf.

Their gun calibers are different, for example, so that we can't use our ammunition in them. By grabbing Taranto, we get (probably) not only ' stores of Italian naval ammunition to use in' Italian guns, but Italian MACHINERY with which to re pair Italian ships and make mora ammunition. From Taranto, we boomed across the heel of the boot to Brindlsi, thus gaining possession of one side of the narrow strait of Otranto, leading into the Adriatic. .

Terror Depletes Pro-Nazi Ranks In Vichy Government MADRID, Sept. 18 VP) Re ports reaching here today from the French border said many of the Vichy government's pro-Ger man employes were quietly van ishing under fear of assassination and that German domination was nearing an end. Hundreds departed .in recent days, the reports said, with none leaving forwarding addresses.

BERLIN RADIO CHORTLES OVER RELEASE STORY (Continued from Page One) saying that "the prestige of the national fascist government would be greatly strengthened by Mussolini's liberation." Paper Report The German paper. Zwoelfuhr Blatt the radio said, declared the action "deprived the allies of a pawn." What use the Germans intend ed to make of Mussolini, after his 49 days of confinement away from his balcony at Palazzo Venezia remained to be seen, but it was likely that he might be restored as a puppet dictator in the nazi-controlled territory in northern Italy. Details of the reported rescue were still lacking, but a Berlin communique last night said that ha had been freed by parachute troops, security service men, and armed members of the S. S. British la Dark The British foreign office stated it had no information on the whereabouts of Mussolini and at no time had he ever been in British-American hands. Because of this, officials here discounted reports that he had been taken by German para chute troops in Sicily. Some officials tended to dis count the value of his reported release, arguing that if Mussolini did set up a puppet fascist regime the Italian people, thoroughly sick of war and fascism, would pay little attention to it. Unofficially the German claim apparently was accented here. for the British Broadcasting cor poration, in a radio news bul letin to the Italian people, said that Mussolini had been released by the Germans and added that Premier Badoglio and King Vit torio Emanuele "are safe at an undisclosed place on Italian soil." . - mere was no official con firmation of either statement nowever, from any allied source. Mussolini s whereabouts have been more or less of a mystery since nis sudden fall, but it is believed in London that he has been held a prisoner in the Pon tine islands off the west coast of Italy. , t , ... 1 BERN, Switzerland. Sent 13 VP) The Swiss Telegraph agen cy said in a dispatch from the Swiss frontier town of Chiasso today that Benito Mussolini was liberated by German parachut ists from his detention place near raiermo, Sicily.

Roslavl is 80 miles northwest of Bryansk. Nasls Dasperate The greatest German effort to hold back the powerful Rus sian drive was exerted along the southernmost sector of the front where enemy tanks and infantry were desperately striv ing to keep the Russians away from the narrow land outlets. The Germans here were re ported to have attempted to stem the Russians along prevl ously prepared defense p o s i tlons, but the red army broke through at several places. The nails launched numerous futile counter-attacks. Night Attacks Even night attacks which are rare for the Germans are being launched, the party newspaper Pravda reported, but the Rus sians beat them off, inflicted heavy losses and the soviet ad vance continued.
