Dnvao in the Philippines, 1000 miles to the northwest. Exploit Capture In Burma, Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell's troops exploited their surprise capture of the Myitky- ina airfield to advance into the city s outskirts under artillery fire. Young Brig. Gen. Frank Mer rill, some of whose Marauders helped capture the Myitkyina airfield, sent another column west of the city to block the supply line from Mogaung, 40 miles west. Other allied forces were moving on Myitkyina from the north. Pincers Move Approximately 80 airline miles to the east. Chinese col umns were developing a pincers drive to clear a portion of the enemy-held Burma road and ef fect a juncture with Stilwell's army, thus connecting ine i,eao and Burma roads and opening an overland supply route to China's scantily equipped army. American airmen supported the Chinese drive in Yunnan province by attacking Teng chung and Lungling, principal bases in the area. Chinese head quarters reported advances on the western slopes of the Kaoli range in the flanking attacks on these bases. ; A Chinese army spokesman in Chungking pointed to the blocked Japanese supply lines and said "We are extremely op timistic over the situation in western Yunnan province and northern Burma." But it wasn't so rosy In the north. Chungking conceded de fenders of Loyang in northern Honan province are surrounded, but said Chinese still hold 80 to 90 per cent of the city and are "determined to hold out." Japanese columns west of Loyant formed a juncture and pushed into the railway town of Shanhsien, only 49 miles from Tungkwan and the Yellow river gap which opens into China's rich interior. Central Pacific planes pound ed little Wake island, sank a 10,000-ton tanker and medium freighter in Truk's harbor and bombed Ponape, Nauru and iso lated enemy positions in the Marshalls.

In response to a (Continued From Page One) ward from their victory at Cas sino on the northern flank. It appeared likely that any breakthrough in the south to the outskirts of Itri would compel the Germans to pull out of the entire southwestern end of the Hitler line and swing their front into the mountain range running southwestward from Pontecorvo through Fondl to Terracina on the coast. Vulnerable Lin But such a line would be vul nerable to flank attack from, the Anzio beachhead, where strong fifth army forces are massed though quiet. It is believed the enemy has not had time to pre pare fortifications on the Ponte-corvo-Terracina route on a scale comparable with the Gustav or Hitler lines. rrom all reports it appeared the fifth and eighth armies were off to an excellent start on the avowed objective of destroying the German 10th army. Badly Cut Up ' Enemy troops were badly cut up during their retreat and their artillery strength has been shaved deeply, although they held together well in some places, said a headquarters spokesman who disclosed that Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, com mander-in-chief , had visited headquarters of Lt. Gen. Sir Oli ver Leese of the eighth army and Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark' of the fifth army. A dispatch from Sid Feder, Associated Press correspondent, reporting the break into the Hit ler line said the French troops and American tanks entered Sant' Oliva late yesterday and held the top of the hill on which the town is located through sev eral hours of German counter attacks this morning. Acknowledge Dent (The German high command. reporting the heaviest fighting in tne center, at Pontecorvo and to the southwest, acknowledged a "local dent" in the Hitler line at Sant' Oliva but said it was "sealed off." This indicated a French-driven wedge toward the mountain only some four miles from Pico, on the inland road from threatened Itri). ' Poles of the eighth army, push ing beyond fallen Cassino on the northern flank, fought within a mile and a half of Piedmonte, lour miles west of (Jassino near highway 6 the road to Rome. On the central sector south of the Liri valley, f lfth army forces reached a point 17 miles air line from their jumping-off place of tne week-old allied offensive by taking 4129-foot Monte Faggeto overlooking the Itri-Pico road, the enemy's only communication link between the ends of the now-dented line. French troops yesterday cap tured the village of Monticelli. four miles northwest of Espieria, ana arove on toward sant Ullva, generally regarded as one of the strong points of the Hitler line. Montecelli has been described as situated in the heart of the area where the Hitler line de fenses guard the edge of the Liri valley.

Final statement Without mentioning Holman by name, Morse said in his fi nal statement: "We must have no taint of isolationism in the senate now."
