Range of Philippines
By The Associated Press
Twenty more ships have been
blown out of Japan's vanishing mer-
chant and fighting fleets by Ameri-
can torpedoes and bombs.
Night flying Liberators sank a
destroyer and damaged two other
ships Saturday night in the Halrna-
hera Sea, on Gen. Douglas MacArth-
ur's path from New Guinea to the
Philippines, Southwest Pacific Head-
quarters announced today. Two di-
rect hits left another destroyer dead
in the water and probably sinking off
Manokwari in Western Dutch New
Guinea where a small freighter was
sunk.
Destruction of 16 more ships by.
submarines and two by Central Pac-
ific bombers were announced by the
Navy yesterday.
18 Jap Planes Shot Down
Eighteen Japanese planes were shot
down in air battles Saturday-seven
over Truk in the Central Carolines
where one Liberator was lost, and 11
over Biak Island in the Schouten
group off the Dutch New Guinea
north coast.
One column of U.S. Sixth.Army
troops was halted on the Biak beach.
tut a second force, fighting over .the
ridges north of the beach, flanked
the Nipponese defenders and began
driving toward Mokmer airdrome.
This field is one of three on Biak
within bombing range of the Philip-
pines.
Sub Sinks Six Ships
Six transports and ten cargo ves-
sels were sunk by submarines. The
Navy announcement did not indicate
whether any of the transports were
laden with troops. Since Pearl Har-
bor United States submersibles have
sunk 589 Nipponese ships.
Tokyo is so hard-pressed for cargo
space, another Navy announcement
indicated, that naval patrol vessels
are being pressed into service as
freighters. . A single Navy bombing
plane caught a convoy of the little
craft in the Caroline Islands west of
Truk Friday. It sank one and heavily
damaged inside Truk lagoon Satur-
day by a Central Pacific search plane.
Jap Columns Near Changsha
On the major warfrvnt in Asia six
Japanese columns were closing in on
Changsha, pivotal point on the Han-
klow-Canton railway bisecting South-
eastern China.
One spearhead was 25 miles north
of the city after a ten-mile advance.
Another was engaged in bitter fight-
ing in hills 40 miles northeast of
Changsha. And 60 miles northwest
of the Hunan provincial capital Nip-
ponese made their third crossing of

French Coast
By The Associated Press
LONDON, June 5-American heavy
bombers up to 750 strong smashed
again today at Hitler's bristling
Atlantic wall, continuing a ceaseless
pounding hurling more than 15,000
tons of explosives since Friday
against that section of the French
coast nearest this island arsenal.
Flying Fortresses and Liberators,
shepherded by 500 fighters, dumped
2,200 tons of bombs on the Nazi
front-line invasion defenses in the
area from Calais to Boulogne as the
mighty Allied aerial onslaught thun-
dered into its eighteenth consecutive
day.
Losses Not Announced
Details and losses were not an-
nounced immediately.
It was the fourth continuous day
of pounding for the area, and the
sixth straight mission against those
targets for the American heavies.
During that period American and
British heavy bombers also have
slammed railroads in the Paris area
and other objectives in occupied
France with 5,000 tons of explosives.

The popcorn business is going
pouf!
Charles T. Manley, president of
a company which sells a large
amount of the nation's popping
corn and popcorn machines, broke
the news sadly today.
'The only way a civilian can get
his teeth into the crunchy kernels,
Manley indicated, will be to don
khaki or Navy whites and visit a
post exchange.
"Only the armed forces will be
eating popcorn this summer and
fall," he declared. "There is no
popcorn available for civilian use.
There is not a legitimate processor
in the United States that I know
of who has a single bag of un-'
popped corn for sale other than
for military use. We have not sold
one grain of corn for civilians
since Dec. 2G, 1943."

By The Associated Press
, NAPLES . June 5-King Vittorio Emanuele stepped aside as monarch
of Italy today as he previously had said he would do upon the liberation
of Rome and handed to his 39-year-old son, Crown Prince Umberto, all
"Royal prerogatives."
Italian political pressure had been brought to bear against him since
the conquest of Naples.

ROME, June 5.-Allied armor and
motorized infantry roared through
the Eternal City today-not pausing
to sight-see-crossed the Tiber, and
proceeded with the grim task of de-
stroying two battered German armies
fleeing to the north.
Flashing forces of Allied fighter-
bombers spearheaded the pursuit,
jamming the escape highways north-
ward with burning enemy transport
and littering the fields with dead and
wounded Nazis.
The enemy was tired, disorganized
and bewildered by the slashing char-
acter of the Allied assault, which in
25 days had inflicted a major catas-
trophe on German-forces in Italy and
liberated Rome almost without dam-
age to the historic city.
Bombers Blast Rail Yards
Joining the relentless program of
destruction, 500 American heavy
bombers blasted rail yards at five
points in northern Italy between
Venice and Rimini along which the
German might attempt to move rein-
forcements and equipment to bolster
Marshal Albert Kesselring's beaten
armies.
At 10 a.m. today Lt.-Gen. Mark W.
Clark, tall commander of the victori-
ous Fifth Army, entered Rome in a
jeep and drove to the city hall, where
he formally proclaimed the Allied
occupation and praised the valor of
his troops.
Addressing his corps commanders
and looking out over thousands of
cheering Italians, Clark declared tha
both the 10th and 14th German arm-
ies had been at least partially de-
stroyed, more than 20,000 prisoners
taken and untold quantities of Nazi
equipment captured.
Balcony Is Empty
He lauded individually the French,
British and American troops of the
Fifth Army and paid tribute to the
"gallant men and women who made
the supreme sacrifice" that made to-

at her home, 343 S. Fifth Ave., late
Saturday night, will be held at 2:30
p.m. tomorrow in the First Methodis
Church.
Social, Civic Leader
A prominent socialand civic leader
in Ann Arbor for many years, Mrs.
Beal was 83 years old. She has been
ill since early in May and had spent
some time in St. Joseph's Mercy Hos-
pital.
Rev. Charles W. Brashares will
officiate at the funeral services and
members of BetaTheta Pi, her hus-
band's fraternity, will serve as pall-
bearers. Burial will be in Forest Hill

She and Regent Beal were married
on Thanksgiving Day in 1889 and
immediately came to Ann Arbor to
make their home.
Her only son, Travis, died on July
27, 1923 and her husband died June
24, 1942.
Survivors include a daughter, Mrs.
Albert C. Jacobs, and three grand-
children, Loretta Crinnell Jacobs,
Sarah Huntington Jacobs and Travis
Beal Jacobs.
One of Mrs. Beal's last requests
was that contributions be made to
the Ann Arbor Community Fund in
her memory by friends instead of
sending flowers.

Roosevelt Hails
Capture of First
Qf Axis Capitols
FDR Cautions Struggle
Ahead Will Be Tough
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 5-Hailing
the capture of Roma with the jubi-
lant phrase "One up and two to go,"
President Roosevelt declared tonight
that the aim 'now is to drive Ger-
many, "to the point where she will
be unible to recommence world con-
quest a generation hence."
Mr. Roosevelt, in a nation-wide
radio broadcast, cautioned that this
truggie with the Nazis would be
'ough and costly and that the day of
Germany's surrender "Lies some dis-
tance ahead."
Whether his reaffirmation that the
fight would be pressed until Ger-
many surrenders was a reply to the
recent speech of Pope Pius XII was
not stated. The Pope asserted last
week that the idea that the
war must end either in complete
victory or complete destruction is a
stimulant toward prolonging the
conflict and expressed hope for an
early peace.
Speaking of Rome as the great
symbol of Christianity, the President
declared "It will be a source of deep
satisfaction that the freedom of the
Pope and of Vatican City is assured
by the armies of the United Nations."
But he declared that no thanks
are due Hitler and his generals "if
Rome was spared the devastation
which the Germans wreaked on
Naples and other Italian cities." '
"The Allied generals maneuvered
so skillfully," he said, "that the Nazis
could only have stayed long enough
to damage Rome at the risk of losing
their armies."
"Our victory," Mr. Roosevelt as-
serted, "comes at an excellent time,
while our Allied forces are poised for
another strike at western Europe-
and while armies of other Nazi sol-
diers nervously await our assault.
And our gallant Russian allies. con-
tinue to make their power felt more
and more."
The Italian people "are capable
of self-government," Mr. Roosevelt
continued. "We do not lose sight
of their virtues as a peace loving
nation.",
