THROW GREAT WEIGHT

American and British bomperS
continued to throw their greatest
weight against the chain of island
stepping stones along the invasion
route to Italy. Enemy air fields
and harbors at Pantelleria naval
base island on Sicily were bombed.
FLYING Fortresses bombed the air
fields at Milo and Borizzo in Sicily
while other airplanes hammered the
enemy positions on Cap Bon ana
in the Zaghouan sector. Many big
fires were seen on Cap Bon as
result of the bombingS.
ENTIRE COMPANIES
Many prisoners were coming IN,
sometimes entire companies with
full equipment, from the Cap Bon
peninsula and f1any of them SEEM
ed happy 10 surrender Near Mogh-
rane the enemy made small coun-
,er-attack but it was quickly re-
pulsed.
Lacking food and ammunition,
the remnants appeared able TO hold
out only a few days at the most.
There was absolutely no hope of es-
cape for the units which We're
fighting hardest on the south front.
Inside this trap and protected
~ high mountains are remnants of
the NaZi goth light division, the
10Th and 2lst panzer divisions and
infantry of the 18th panzer divis-
ion as well as the l64th infantry
division and some Italian troops.
GREAT CONTRAST
The fight put up by these hope
lessly trapped troops was in great
contrast TO the attitude of Axis
troops, on Cap Bon peninsula
where all hopes of an evacuation
by sea were smashed when the Al
lied armor won control of the roads
running along both west and east
! sides OF the peninsula.

Axis Remnants in

split the remainder Axis forces after
a daring thanking maneuver in
which the British 9th armored div
iSion. veterans of the Tunisian bat
tie. dashed through the waves along
the beach to knock out the enemy
defense positions at Hammam Lif.
A dispatch from Edward w. Beat
tie. United Press correspondent at
the front, said the tanks left wakes
like steamboats, as they crcled
through the water and then ashore
again to storm the enemy from be-
hind.
Among the prisoners taken was
an entire battalion of 600 men of
the elite Herman Goering division,
which surrendered en- maSSe at Oued
Ksoti. east of Hamman Lif, sending
two officers out with white flag
TO ask the British TO stop pounding
them. Beattie said.
B. Monday evening the 9th Brit
ish armored division had rounded
up 5000 prisoners and the first
armored division units from the
Eighth army had 1900 which were
turned over to the British First
army on what the soldiers called
a "lease-lend" proposition because
they were too busy crashing ahead
Imperial Valley press., 1943-05-11
REGIMENT DETAILED

A tank regiment was detailed to
herd them all in toward TuniS.
For a time it seemed as though
the British had been checked east
of Hammam Lif, where the Ger
mans were putting up bitter re-
siStance in the mountains COM
manding the road.
Then the tanks of the Sixth arm
ored division suddenly broke through
and famed down toward Grom-
balia. half way to Hammamet. I'M
mediately, the First armored divi-
sion tanks held up in Grombalia
Pass as they tried to reach the town
from the southwest found the going
better
BY pm, the tanks of the Sixth
division had seized both Grombalia
and Soliman, nine miles east OF
Hammam Lif.
Meanwhile Allied planes were
laundering out over the Madjerda
valley in one long chain of destruc-
ton from the early morning hours
onward.
They swept on down toward Tunis
to pick up their fighter escort from
one of the captured aidromes where
the Axis never had a chance even
TO pack its tools in its kits, destroy
its planes, or remove its rich stores
of spare parts.
The Axis now had no answer to
the Allied air power raking Cap
Bon. And offshore the navy was
waiting. The story of the war in
North Africa had just about been
told.
There is still fierce fighting,
especially on the Eighth army
front" a spokesman said. Never
theless the number of prisoners was
rapidly approaching 100000, the
remaining German forces had been
split. and demoraliZed enemy troops
were rapidly approaching a stage
where they could no longer con-
tinue important resistance on an
organized basis, particularly on
Cap Bon.

Russians Breaking Great Nazi Defense -0ffen-
 siye Advancing

MOSCOW, Feb. 8. n The Red Army today sent shells screaming across the Don River to the Ger man positions in Rostov, Russian dispatches stated, as the fourth battle for the city opened while masses of Russian troops battered their way through the main de- lenses of the Germans in Southern Russia on a 500-mile front.
 The Russians seized the town of Azov, Is miles southwest of Rostov Sunday, freeing the bank of the Don of the last center of the Ger man resistance and making a large scale assault on Rostov possible, the official communique said.
 Crunching Forward
 Meanwhile in the north, the Rus sians continued to clear the great areas of Russian soil of invaders and also threaten the great Ger man bastions at Orel, Kursk and Kharkov.
 The railroad between Rostov and Kharkov has been cut with the capture of the Mramatorskaya and the line between Belgorod and Kursk has been snapped with the capture of Gostescheyo.
 The Russians announce that the Germans are reported rushing thousands of reserves into breach es in their lines in an effort to stem the Soviet flood but dispatch es indicated the giant Russian of- fensiye is crunching forward with unprecedented speed in the winter campaign.

PILOT, CRASH PLANE, FOUND BY 5EAR(RER5
Body Flown to Ketthikdn- Death Due 10 Shock,
 Exposure, Starvation

KETCHrKAN, Alaska, Feb. B. The body of Pilot Harold Gillian, veteran Alaskan aviator. missing more than one month since the plane crashed in a fog on noun tain southeast of here, was found on beach of Boca de Quadra pen insula by the Coast Guard search ing party.
 The body was flown here by Pilot Hugh Ramsdell of the Ellis Air ways.
 The body was found by the search party commanded by A. w. Angellson. the same man in charge of the boat which earlier found the plane crash survivors Percy Cutting and Joseph Tippits.
 Gillam's body was found on the shore half way between Quadra Point and Weasel cove near the mouth of the 32-mile long inlet on Behm Canal.
 DOuy fs rTuztH
 The body was frozen when found by the searching party.
 Death was apparently due to shock, exposure and starvation.
 There is no way of determining the time of death.
 Gillian carried matches with him when he left the camp on January 10, Cutting says, leading to the be- lief the pilot must have fallen into water and lost his matches.
 Hunt Is Ended
 Weasel Cove is about mile from the place the body was found and is the place where Cutting and Tippits found shelter one night dur ing their long search for help.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. B. Percy Cutting and Joseph Tippits. who led the Coast Guard party from Smeaton Cove to the sur- yiyor's camp. quoted Robert Gebo and Dewey Metzdorf, also survi- yors of the Gillian plane crash, as saying:
 Don't worry about us, now that we know they know where we are. we could stay here forever"
 Although Cutting and Tippits struggled over the trail to the survivors camp and then returned to the beach, conditions last Sat- urday made it extremely unlikely that Gcbo and Metzdorf can be brought out immediately, mean while to get attention from a pharmacists mate and doctor
 Get Dropped Supplies
 Gebo and Metzdorf salyaged part of the supplies dropped by the plane last Thursday and ate their first food since Cutting and Tip pits left them, except for two boul- lion cubes and tablespoon of tea.

Naples Waterfront Left in FIames-CagIiari Base
 Is Also Raided

LONDON, Feb. 3.--American and British bombers carried the war to Italy and the North African bases in attacks yesterday.
 The bombers left the waterfront at Naples in flames and left bomb pits on the Sardinian air base at Cagliari, also new fresh scars on sicily.
 The communiques announced that American heavy aircraft struck by daylight at both Naples and Gag liari, 300 miles apart across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
 Raid in Two Waves
 Brig. Gen. Patrick Timberlake, Chief of the U s. Bomber Com mand in the Middle East war thea tre, said the raid on Naples was made in two waves against heavy anti i-aircraft fire and fighter op- position but was one of the most successful attacks ever carried out by the American forces of the Mid dle East, just a prologue of things to come '
 Rain and Mud Again
 The multiple of aerial blows were launched as rain and mud begged down the Allied ground campaign Tunisia, restricting activity to 3atrols and further closing of the allied pincefs upon Rommel. It is indicated, however, by the Cairo ornmuniaue, that the British Eighth Army troops are in contact
