'. 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

Jemy appeared to be pulling back
heavy artillery from the Cis-

'the Adriatic sector into the line
"against the fifth army force, in

wanting northward toward Ce-

beaten back and the allies cap-

of motor movement was ob-

5 other fifth army troops crossed
the Asemo river and took the
village of Castella Valentino.

wryly.
And behind that grin is the
story of a determined young

had been ruled out to fly on six

"Bob" revealed that it was dull
and plain work.
"I studied hard, however,
he said. "But all the time
wanted to fly."
Within a few months he grad
uated, becoming a member of
uol. Herbert B. Thatcher s Ma
rauder group being activated
at M a c D i 1 1 Field, Fla. The
group, a tight, inclusive attack
unit, left shortly afterwards and
Bob arrived in the ETO with
a dreary and monotonous fu
ture planned for him.
- Pinch-hitting as photographic
officer early last summer he
watched the B-26s roar off on
their first mission, accompanied

Meanwhile his blood nressurp
had returned to normal. He was
permanently assigned to his
