ALLIED DIPS MOVE
DEEP IMIff DIME
TO DOME_
With the Fifth Army in
Italy, Jan. 22. (TJP)—Lt Gen.
Mark W. Clark today made a
dawn-to-dusk visit to the new
Fifth Army landing areas
southwest of Borne, where be
saw the American and British
forces pressing forward
against a so far almost invisi-
ble enemy.
On returning from the inva-
sion front, Clark smilingly
said he waa delighted with
the progress being made. The
position tonight is that land-
ing forces, which include Ban-
gers and Commandos, are
steadily progressing inland to-
ward their first objectives.
The Allied naval and mili-
tary los. es and casualties have
been unbelievably light con-
sidering the size of the force
employed.
Allied Headquarters in Al-
giers, Jan. 22. (UP)—Thou-
sands of British and American
assault troops, powerfully
supported by pUnes and war-
ships, drove ashore south of
Borne early today and sal-
tish ed beachheads with aston-
ishing little effort along a 39-
mile front reaching within 16
miles of the Eternal City.
Putting the capital of Chris-
tianity and second city of the
_ Axis within Allied grasp* the
surprise blow also threatened
to trap the greater part of IS
enemy divisions — possibly
200,000 men—between the
landing forces and the Allied
armies of Central Italy.
The veteran shock troops of
Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark’s
Fifth Army, spearheaded by
British commandos and Amer-
ican Rangers, quickly captur-
ed the port of Nettuni, 31
miles below Rome, and estab-
lished other footholds north-
westward up the coast on a
30-mile front extending to the
mouth of the Tiber, 16 miles
from Borne.
Striking in the dark of the
moon, the specialist troops so
surprised the Germans that
little or no resistance was en-
_ countered, official report said.
First reports from front-line
correspondents expressed
amazement at the strange lack
of resistance which reminded
them of the original landing
in Southern Italy last Sept. 3
when the Kalians, who were
to quit the war five days later,
put up hardly a token fight.
i Important Meeting
Chamber o Commerce
The chamber of commerce
will meet in regular session
tonight at 7:30 o’clock. Presi-
dent E. E. Phelps states that
this is an important meeting
and the attendance of mem-
bers is urgently requested.
