stroying 43 planes, losing 14
heavy bombers and nine light
ers. In May, a staggering bomb
weight was hurled on the Ger
mans from 148,000 planes.
Americans alone destroyed 1072
of the Luftwaffe at the cost of
611.
Reds Busy
The Russians said they shot
down 164 German aircraft and
knocked out 122 tanks in two
days north of lasi in Romania
where the worried Germans left
"thousands of dead" before Rus
sian lines in vain attempts to
throw the soviet offensive plans
off balance. Moscow said the
Germans advanced not "a single
step" yesterday.
All the Balkan countries stir
red. A London dispatch said
Turkey probably would march
when Gen. Eisenhower strikes.
Moscow said Bulgarian rulers
were veering into "ventures dic
tated by Hitler." Lisbon said
the Hungarians were torn be
tween terror, despair and apathy
in the new order of German
puppet rule. Marshal Tito, re
ported appointed Yugoslav com
mander by King Peter in place
of Gen. Mihailovic, ordered im-
. mediate offensives against the
Uermans and declared:
"The last blow of the red
army and the Anglo-American
allied troops is approaching."
Germans Imperiled
The crack in the Valmontone
line in Italy imperilled the Ger
man retreat in the center, be
cause the enemy had been using
the 25-mile sector as a hinge to
extricate his tired and mauled
troops to the southeast. Captur
ed towns included San Gio
vanni, Patricia, Ripl and Tor
rice. Britons on the coast advanced
steadily north of Ardea toward
the Tiber. In "limited but im
portant" gains, the fifth army
near Lanuvio crossed the Fosso
Di Campoleone, a drainage
ditch. Other units pushed near
er Valmontone itself, 20 miles
from Rome on the interdicted
via Casilina.' Tactical aircraft
flew around the clock shatter
ing German lines of retreat and
shattering forward positions.
The fall of Rome appeared a
matter of days.

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, NEW GUINEA,
June 1 VP) Deprived by bad
weather of . vital air support,
Yank invaders of Biak broke off
momentarily their violent bid for
three airfields but headquarters
disclosed today they alreadv
have killed 679 Japanese and
control the eastern part of that
Schouten island.

tinue until such time as snipers
and small scattered forces hiding
in ridges along a road to the
inuiunur airarome are cleaned
out. That will permit the Amer
icans to advance without fear of
attacks on the right flank which
have stopped the main force
short of their first objective.

African campaign and had seen
service as members of the Ger
man paratroop corps. It is
thought that they were taken
prisoner at the close of tne AIM'
can Unhung.

headed into the mountain coun
try came from Mrs. Jack Tyrrell
