' Eterndl On Final Lap v ' ' By NOLAND NORGAARD ' ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Naples, June 3 (JP) An Amerl. can in a jeep drove down the Via Casilina and met the British eighth army east of Valmontone today while fifth army forces south of Rome captured most of the Alban hills heights and speared through the last mountain barrier to tho Italian capital. ' The fall of Rome appeared possible within a matter of hours, with the possibility that it would be relatively bloodless. A special allied communique- said the United Nations forces "have only taken and will only take military action against Rome insofar as the Germans use the city." The Germans in turn issued a statement-that "Rome today can be regarded as a city free of armed forces." Allied headquarters announced the allies had "broken through enemy positions south of Rome in many places." At the same time the eighth army stabbing through the Sacco valley to the southeast captured Anagni, seven miles northwest of Ferentino, and a mile and a half above the Via Casilina, allied forces of the two main armies are driving toward a junction on the famed highway. .

"The allies have only taken and will only take military action against Rome insofar as the Germans use the city, its railways and roads for their military purposes," headquarters pledged.

(An allied spearhead thrusting above Valmontone was ' -brought 'to-a standstill east of" Rocca di Papa 'and south of Panes trina," five miles north of Valmontone, the Germans said).. - -' THREE DIRECTIONS United "States units which took Valmontone struck out in three directions northwest along the Via Casilina toward Rome, 20 miles away; southeast along the same road to link up with the French who are driving the Germans out of their lost foot holds on the south side of the Sacco river, and due north along an important secondary road toward a vital highway junction at Cave, three miles from Valmontone. The French, meantime, closed in quickly from the south on Colle Ferro, four and a half miles southeast of Valmontone and within pistol shot of both highway six and the river. Farther to the southeast other French troops closed the re treat route from the area south of the .Sacco river by slicing across a secondary road at Sgurgola, 14 miles from Valmontone and five and a half miles west of Ferentino, which, the eighth army already had taken. Gen. Alphonse Juin's French troops also were driving north- ward from the village of Montelanico, 11 miles southeast of Valmontone. Montelancio was taken the night of June 1. IRON CLAWS CLOSE UP Thus iron claws were closing in on whatever German units were attempting to fight a rearguard action in the 13-mile sector between Colle Ferro and Ferentino, looping south of the Sacco river. - From this bag the nazis had four unsurfaced country roads extending northward, along which they could attempt to escape, but close pursuit from three sides was certain to cost them heavy casualties as well as the loss of all but their most highly mobile vehicles. -.' , - . . The enemy lost a thousand men in prisoners alone in the past 24 hours in repeated counterattacks, vainly attempting to halt the Americans from widening the gap in their frontal defenses, and advancing in the strongly-held Lanuvlo area. . , - , This brought the total prisoners taken by the fifth army alone in the current offensive to more than 14,000.
