'. Tanks Push On The American armored force pounding upon Valmontone was continuing its inrust loaay. ine advance yesterday carried it to the vicinity of Artena, only 21 miles below Valmontone. Of the 17 nazi divisions en gaged below Rome, eight are in a line where their escape would be highly complicated by cutting of the Via Casilina. They have other alternative retreat roads, but these could be easily clog ged and the Germans probably would be forced to lose many men and much equipment. Valmontone is 21 miles south east of the eternal city. ThirLv-six miles to the south east of this spearpoint flung out of the Anzio beachhead, Ger mans on the main front were defeated in heavy tank fighting and fell back, leaving masses of equipment, including tanks, be hind them. Advance 12 Miles Lt. Gen.f Mark W. Clark's reconnaissance troops in the Ar tena area, racing the drive from the beachhead, had advanced about 12 and a half miles north of the former beachhead peri meter after the allies beat back sharp enemy counter-attacks, in which 15 huge Tiger tanks par Iticipated. j An official repon said the en Jemy appeared to be pulling back heavy artillery from the Cis- : terna-Valmontone road.

' Desperate nazis threw in re- inforcements at several danger points, and used more armor and f mobile forces against the eighth I' army's Liri valley thrust than i at any previous tune in the Hai tian campaign. 5 Germans Rush Aid u Field Marshal Albert Kessel- rine rushed a hurriedly-assem ' 'bled battle group of the 334th v German infantry division from 'the Adriatic sector into the line "against the fifth army force, in ' - cludine the French, who are ad- wanting northward toward Ce- Drano. i But thescreinforcements were beaten back and the allies cap- tured both San Giovanni and JPastena, both heavily-defended . strone noints. e. Boring steadily into enemy de- fenses further west, the irencn t seized Monte Rotondo and Monte c Quattodorci, and yesterday reached the outskirts .of Ama- JJsemo, eight miles west of Fas ti leiiti. c Motor Movement An allied official spokesman I declared "a tremendous amount of motor movement was ob- served further southwest, where 5 other fifth army troops crossed the Asemo river and took the village of Castella Valentino.
