Nazis Counterattack
The Germans launched four
fierce counterattacks yesterday
against Americans holding half
the town of Rosignano, but all
were beaten off.
Further inland heavy fight
ing also was reported in the
outskirts of Castellina, but Unit
ed States tank forces succeeded
in driving a mile and one-half
northeast of Monte Catini un
der sharp fire from enemy
troops lodged on high ground
outside the town.
"Nervous"
An official spokesman de
clared "the enemy is - particu
larly nervous about fifth army
movements and is keeping all
highways under constant arm
lerv fire."
Northwest of Siena the fifth
armv was reported encounter
ing remnants of the 162nd Tur
coman and 2u panzer divi
sions. H.ich Umbeitlde
Tim bertide. an important
highway junction, was reached
by eighth army troops yester
day after they had crushed de
termined enemy resistance just
south of the town, which is 42
miles east of Siena and 65 miles
southeast of Florence.
One eighth army column was
onlv three miles from the im
portant road center of Arezzo
after struggling through mud
and elaborate German demoli
tions. At one point the Ger
mans blew out 120 feet of road
way to impede pursuit.

communique said these forces
were engaged in fighting on a
large scale against regular Ger
man army units.
Areas liberated oy me t rencn
were named as the district of
Vercors, southwest of the Swiss
border; part of the department
of Gers, between Bordeaux and
Toulouse in southern France; the
department of Doubs, just west
of the Swiss frontier; the depart
ment of Ain, northwest of the
Swiss f-ontier; the department of
Ardeche on the west side of the
Rhone valley in southern France.
Derail Trains
'This fighting is not a ques
tion of oickine off stragglers or
small units but of bearing the
brunt of heavy German attacks
and engaging regular German
army units," supreme headquar
ters explained. ,
It added that in 10 days the
French underground had caused
24 train derailments, destroyed
two tunnels and caused whole
sale delays in German troop
movements, including a whole
tralnload of tanks.
Several armored vehicles have
been captured and 190 Germans
killed and la prisoners taken in
one engagement alone.
In the general fighting, head
quarters announced the destruc
tion of 61 enemy planes for the
loss of 29 allied aircraft in ac
tion yesterday and up to early
today.
Densely Packed
Headquarters announced that
nazi troops were more densely
packed in defense positions in
tne (jaen region tnan on any bat
tle ground in this or the last war.
The supreme command said
that the German troops there
had reached a concentration of
one division to slightly less than
three miles of the front a situa
tion that leaves little room for
maneuvering.
The allied troops also are
closely packed, with little free
dom of movement.
The German high command
was reported throwing tanks and
infantry lavishly into the battle,
and hand-to-hand fighting was
going on for the airfields south
ot newiy-captured Uarpiquet.

miles southwest of Minsk on the
trunk line to Warsaw, the Ger
mans asserted they "repulsed nu
merous soviet attacks in fierce
encounters).
Brest-Litovsk and Pinsk are
closer to Kowel than to the fluid
pursuit lines on the shattered
German front in White Russia.
Pinsk lies 85 miles northeast of
Kowel; Brest-Litovsk on the Bug
river is 70 miles northwest.
Advance
Chernaikhovsky's advance on
Wilno from the southeast car
ried through Smorgonie, where
his cavalry units were only 140
miles from the borders of East
Prussia, front dispatches said.
Other soviet troops mopping
ud the Minsk region proceeded
with the liquidation of the bat
tered remnants of the German
12th and 27th corps and the
39th tank corps.
Molodeczno. the latest major
point to fall to the sweeping
Russian offensive, was one of
the mainstays ot tne Germans
90-mile Vileika-Nesvizh line, and
a junction of the Minsk-Vilno
and Folotsk-Lida railroads.
The way now appeared open
for a simultaneous advance by
Chernaikhovsky's third White
Russian army and Gen. Ivan
Bagramian s first Baltic army in
to Lithuania and Latvia.
There was no confirmation in
Moscow of a German report that
the vital communications center
of Kowel, 215 miles southwest
of Minsk, had been evacuated by
nazi troops.

A. R. Cooper, fire control as
sistant for the Shasta national
forest at Mt. Hebron, was in
Klamath Falls today looking for
additional men for the fire sup
pression crews in that area,
where critical fire hazards exist.
He said there is a need for
additional firemen on the forest,
with pay at about $165 a month.
There is one station in the area
where a couple could work, the
wife being employed as a look
out and the man as fireman.
Cooper added that all posi
tions could be filled by married
men and it is possible wives can
work into additional employ
ment above the husband's
wages. Interested persons can
call on-the forest office person
ally at Mt. Hebron or call col
lect through Mt. Hebron, 36F21.
