HEAVY BATTLE
FLARES AFTER
ITALIAN RAID
300 German Prisoners
Taken In Central
Sector
- By Lynn Helnxerllng
ROMii, Oct. 13 (Pj Heavy
fighting flared up in the hills
along the Florence-Bologna road
today following yesterduy's mas
sive air assault on German posi
tions and installations south of
Bologna, key communications
center of the Po valley.
Allied headquarters an
nounced that fifth army troops
took more than 300 prisoners in
the new assault in the central
Italian sector.
Aided . by warm weather
American forces pushed ahead
ln the wake of yesterday's tre
mendous aerial attacks and part
ly flanked the town of Livergn
ano, 10 miles south of Bologna
on highway 65, the communique
said.
The doughboys again encoun
tered stiff enemy resistance. In
describing the heavy fighting
astride highway 65 the communi
que, said "no material advances
have been made."
Reach Hill
Foot troops reached the sum
mit of the hill only nine miles
southwest of Castel San Pietro
on the Bologna-Rimini road,
while other forces captured
Mount Delle Formlche. two and
a half miles east of Livergnano
where the fiercest fighting seems
to have -centered. -
Yesterday 'i..iulverizing raids
Tjy " "American planes' in" their
f reatcst blow ;yet Iri the' nprth
talian. campaign were made in
an attempt to blast a pathway
Into the Po valley for filth army
forces which have been virtually
stalled south of Bologna for two
days by a nazl death stand.
West of highway 65 fifth
army units pushed a mile beyond
Monteramici, bare little village
in the hills overlooking a subsid
ary road to Bologna. On the
west coast, troops of the 92nd
American infantry division clung
to Mount- Canala, about four
miles southeast of Massa, west
ern terminus of the Gothic line.
Meanwhile the eighth army
found itself on firmer ground and
appeared to be moving steadijy
forward everywhere except in
the immediate Adriatic coastal
sector whore a succession of
streams at short intervals gave
the Germans a wide choice of
defensive positions.
Three Missing
Headquarters disclosed that
the three heavy bombers and
17 other planes . were missing
from yesterday's aerial opera
tions in the Mediterranean sec
tor, which included strafing of
Austria and Hungary.
Eighteen enemy planes were
shot down.
(A new attack on tho Vienna
area today by bombers of the
15th air force was reported by
'London.) t

Formosa Hit
Second Blow;
Ships Downed
By CHARLES McMURTRY
U. S. PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, Pearl Harbor, Oct.
13 IIP) The Halsey-Mitscher naval and air team returned to
Formosa Thursday and destroyed 175 more Japanese planes,
sank 11 more ships, probably sank 14, damaged six others and
sank or damaged 37 small craft.
This gave the powerful third fleet this box score for the con
centrated Wednesday-Thursday bombing of Formosa and Pesca
dores islands, immediately to the west:
398 aircraft destroyed. '
a snips sunK
14 shins probably sunk.
22 ships damaged.
37 small craft sunk or dam
aged. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, re
porting the second day's action
in a communique nine hours
after he had given preliminary
figures on Wednesday's strike,
said "small groups of enemy
aircraft made repeated attempts
to torpedo or bomb carriers or
supporting ships, but no dam
age was done to our surface
ships."
45 Yanks Lost
He said American losses
were 45 planes in the two-day
attack.
Reports on the nuYnber of
flight personnel rescued have
not been received.
Nimitz gave this "prelimin
ary" resume of damage to Japa
nese shipping fo.- the two days:
Ships sunk: Two large cargo
ships, four medium cargo ships,
nine small cargo ships, 12 coast
al cargo ships.
Ships probably sunk: One
large cargo ship, three medium
cargo ships, three small cargo
ships, one small oil tanker, five
coastal cargo ships, one mine
sweeper. : Ships damaged: Six medium
cargo ships, 15 small cargo
ships, one' large - troop "trans
port. Surprise Indicated " '
Wording of the latest Nimitz
communique might indicate
that the Halsey-Mitscher task
force achieved complete sur
prise in its Wednesday attack
which began before dawn; that
the Japanese - were forced to
concentrate on futile attempts
to defend Formosa bases and
shipping rather than attack
American warships.
Nimitz' only mention in eith
er communique of Japanese
counter-attacking the mighty
third fleet was this:
"During the late evening of
October 11 and night of October
11-12 following the first day of
the attack on Formosa small
groups of enemy aircraft at
tacked one of our fast carrier
task forces operating in the ap
proaches to the Japanese posi
tion in Formosa and the Ryuk
yus, and repeatedly attempted
to torpedo or bomb the, carriers
or supporting ships in the
force." .
Form Machinery
Step-Up Ordered
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (P
President Roosevelt directed
WPM Chairman J. A. Krug to
day to step up the production of
farm machinery so that the
United States can continue its
record high food production
into the postwar period.
"Wartime experience has dem
onstrated that a fully employed
American will consume food in
quantities substantially in ex
cess of the prewar period," the
president told Krug in a letter
made public at today's news
conference.

NAZI ESCAPE
GAP SLASHED
TOJHALF MILE
German Attempts to
Reinforce Town ,
Smashed :
By The Associated Press
LONDON, Oct. 13 American
infantry gained slowly tonight
Inside the smoking ruins of
Aachen proper, narrowed the
nazi escape gap to a half mile
and,- with shells and bombs,
smashed strong German columns
forming up for counterattacks to
relieve the battered city's gar
rison. . The suburban Schlachtof fact
ory district on the northeast out
skirts of Aachen was taken. The
enemy had counterattacked earl
ier in the Bardenberg area after
wheeling up one of Hitler's fin
est tank divisions. . .
Los 60 Tanks
- The nazis lost 60 tanks in two
days fighting around Aachen, in
cluding those knocked out in to
day's attempted counterattacks.
- Opposition was surprisingly
weak as the doughboys entered
the city, which had been bombed
and blasted for two days by
hundreds of divebombers and an
almost solid ring of heavy artil
lery plunging shells by the
thousands into its ancient struc
tures. Close Quarters
The Americans entered the
city itself at 9:30 a. m. (1:30
a. m. Pacific, war time) along a
path blasted by artillery and
r.iortars. The Yankees gingerly
crossed 16 rows of tracks and
started routing out dirty and,
bearded Germans holed up in,
the narrow, streets which wera
cluttered with debris. The fight
ing was close quarters, some
times with bayonets,: sometimes
with small arms and it went
from house to house, from street
to street.-. Self-propelled artil
lery moved into the . city with
the infantry.. . . . i ..
The Americans fought near
fires in many parts of the old
city.,- . : .. ;
Berlin asserted that the Amer
icans already had suffered 19,
000 , casualties in the battle of
Aachen including 5000 dead, but
nothing from allied quarters sup
ported such a claim. - .'' -
The appearance of - a fresh
German armored division, shifted-
from' the- Arnhem sector in
Holland, stirred expectation that
a major tank battle' would soon
be joined.. '.. -; - ' ,
Forces Under Gen.WUson
To Land in Greece; Athens j
Taken by Allied Fighters
ROME, Oct. 13 (P) Gen. Sir
Henry-Maitland-Wilson, supreme
allied commander in the Medi
terranean, said in a broadcast
tonight that "a force under my
command is about to land In
Greece" and that the kingdom's
liberation was at hand. -
Later Rome radio broadcast an
"official announcement" that
Athens has been evacuated by
the Germans and its administra
tion is- in the hands of Greek
patriots.
The allied-controlled radio
said its report came from allied
headquarters.
A Cairo dispatch earlier an
nounced 'that the Germans had
quit Athens and declared it an
open city.
(British authorities in London
said they were unable to inter
pret Wilson's proclamation but
that it might have anti-dated
the invasion.of the Peloponnesus,
which took place late in Sep
tember.) Aid Promised . '
.Allied proclamations were
broadcast promising immediate
aid to the Greeks.
Gen. Wilson told, the Greeks:
"Your day of liberation is at
hand. For the second time in this
war, a force under by command
is about to land in Greece but
I am thankful to - say, under
very different conditions."
The allied commander de
clared, "we come now to sweep
Fourth Measure Provides
Addition of Area to City
(Fourth article of a series)
Fourth and last measure on
the special city election ballot to
be presented November 7, is an
annexation proposed, and reads
by title:
"Charter amendment submit

council and initiative petition."
The fourth measure em
braces an addition to the city
roughly including that area south
of Shasta way, west of Wash
burn way, and north of South
Sixth street, a diamond' shaped
area. Also, an area across South
Sixth street from Midland road,
northwest, Including the rail
road and then northwest and
on down to the present city
limits embracing the industrial
area southwest of South Sixth.
' This measure also originated
within the planning commission
which considers this to be one
of the major developments neces
sary to tho growth of the city. If
this measure passes, the city's
facilities, particularly sanitation,
can be extended to include this
area. This is a high-value district
which would bring to the city
an excellent source of revenue.
Because the area is considered
a potential source of epidemic,
year In and year out, because of
the lack of sewage facilities, the
commission Is particularly
anxious to see this measure pass.
The sanitation issue in this sub
urban area primarily brought
this measure to the fore.

He said the. allies, also were re
turning to restore Greece's ad
ministrative services.
Late in- September, small
British forces landed in the Pelo
