TAG'S TWO'
YANKS READY
FOR PUSH UP
(Continued From Page One)
the eternal city was In for a bad
time.
(President Roosevelt In a
Washington press conference
said the objective of allied forces
was to free Rome, the Vatican
and the pope. He said he did
not think that even Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower knew where the
Germans would make their next
stand.)
Neapolitans FW
Nine-tenths of the Neapolitans
"were reported to have fled the
city during the Germans' de
structive rule in which the Uni
versity of Naples was burned.
The arterial communique an
nouncing the fall of Naples did'
not give the time, dui Datue
line dispatches said American
and British troops rode into
Italy's third greatest city and
second greatest port at 8 a. m. -No
Germans
"Troops of the fifth army have
entered Naples and the city is
reported clear of Germans" said
the two-line statement. .
The entry into . Naples rthe
greatest victory yet won by the
allies in their 1943 offensive to
mash Hitler's European fortress
was accomplished by smashing
long the rim of Vesuvius against
grim resistance of German rear
guards who paid a high price to
gain a few extra hours for their
commanders to make arrange
ments for a line of defense furth
er north.
Flee Toward Rome'
Although German convoys
were reported streaming back
toward Rome, the VolturnoTiver,
some 20 miles north of Naples,
till was considered the most
likely line of the next major
fighting.
But even before the Volturno
is reached, a military Spokesman
pointed out, the fifth "army is
likely to run into the same kind
of difficulty - it encountered
north of Salerno when strongly
defended mountain passes had to
be cleared foot by foot.
The possession of Naples was
great prize for the allies, how
ever, who may now pour in
' through the port a great army
with its supplies for. the. task
opening ahead. :-.. i -v .
i In pre-war days Naples ranked!
as Italy greatest port ;neact to
Genoa, as well as a great manu
facturing city.
Docks Aid
Its extensive docks and water
front presumably will be of
great aid to . Ges. Dwight D.
Eisenhower's quartermaster as
soon as divers and engineers have
cleared the clogged harbor chan
nel and ship berths, straightened
out the tangled communication
lines and moved-the debris from
the streets. '
Naples was the primary ob
jective of Gen. Eisenhower when
the fifth army was landed on the
beaches of Salerno September 9,
because it was. necessary to ob
tain a large port from which to
direct future operations. It took
just 23 days to win the prize.'
A little less than a month after
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgom
ery s eighth army landed on the
Italian toe September 3 the al
lies thus were in possession of
nearly a third of the Italian boot
from which to press their grow
ing offensive'
(The United Nations radio at
Algiers, in a .broadcast recorded
by OWI, said-naval experts at al
lied headquarters estimated the
harbor of Naples "in its most im
portant respects can be made
serviceable in eight days from
now. ..
Deserted
(An NBC broadcast from allied
headquarters said the -outer de
fenses of Naples were deserted
by the Germans three days ago.
and "it is possible that the city's
inner aeienses were. deserted at
the same time, though the Ger
mans iougnt a stubborn rear
guard action.
(The German communique
said the only important fighting
in Italy yesterday was south
of Mount Vesuvius" and declared
British tank thrusts were re
pulsed there.
The p ow e r f n I British and
American1 armored ' columns
which pushed into Naples reach
ed their objective by taking
Torre Annunziata, steel town on
the shelf of land between the bay
and Vesuvius, late Wednesday.
DEFEATIST KILLED
BERN, Oct. 1 (JP) For the
seventh time during the month

tion of a defeatist,' this time
