Dispatches
Paced by the American 15tn Stra-
tegic Air Force whose driving blows
have paralyzed Nazi railroad junc-
tions in Austria and the Brenner
Pass, the Allied Fifth and Eighth;
Armies are pushing slowly towards
the German, defenses below Rome..
The American and British Fifth
Army in a tough struggle through
rough terrain took an important
point six miles south of Alfedena
in the Castel San Vincenzo-area.
The heavy air blow of the 15th
Air Force demonstrated the power
of the Allied aerial striking arm in
the Mediterranean area. More than
300 bombers and fighters took part
in this large scale .assault- on rail-
road yards joining Germany and
the 10th Nazi Army in Italy.
While the British-American forc-
es are making Deedle progress in
Italy, General Chiang Kai-Shek's
forces- have taken two important
advanced, Jap bases- in the vital
rice: bowl of China.
Allied observers expect opera-
tions of a major character in China
since the declarations at the Cairo
Conference.
Informed quarters both in Lon-
don and Washington.have indicat-
ed that the war in the Pacific will
be considerably shortened if the
Allied command strikes now, before
Japan becomes too powerful.
