Politics Out in
Pacific Warfare

MELBOURNE. Sept. ID CUP) -
Sen. James NJ Mead of New York
said today that politics had in no
way influenced the amount of
United States military assistance to
the Pacific war theater.
There is no politics in this war"
Mead said. There is a complete
unity of understanding between
Gen. Douglas Macarthur and the
United States administration. Of
ficial Washington fully recognizes
the Importance of the Pacific
theater, highly appreciates the work
done by Macarthur, and will give
him every bit of help possible"
Mead and Senators Richard B.
Russell of Georgia and Ralph O.
Brewster of Maine arrived here to-
day on their tour of the battle
fronts. They had lunch with Prime
Minister John Curtin of Australia.

Salerno.
The battle was reporting raging
with utmost fury as the enemy's
famous .8S guns hammered the AL
lied positions at Salerno-which has
repeatedly changed hands-and on
the Sele river, II miles south OF
the town. British sources compared
the struggle to the battle of Gal
lipon. where the British failed in
a long and costly struggle to force
the Dardanelles.
(The German radio claimed that
Nazi tanks had broken through U.
S. artillery positions, wiping out
whole divisions" south of Salerno
and that Allied evacuation of the
Salerno bridgehead had started)
(The Amin American positions
on the Sele river were broken in a
surprise attack late Monday, the
Nazi DNB news agency claimed, and
American troops there were trying
to reach rescue ships, thus making
it impossible for the British units
at Salerno to hold out. The Nazis
claimed 5000 to 10000 Allied troops
were casualties and similar num-
Der had been taken prisoner.
NEW LANDING
"a Swiss broadcast, apparently
inspired by Berlin, said that new
Allied landing may have been made
at Policastro, 35 miles south of the
Salerno bridgdhead, which may
have been a previously planned op-
eration).
The American and British troops
in the Salerno sector have re-
peatedly returned to the fierce
battle on the beaches and on the
roads several miles inland, in an
effort to extend and consolidate

The Germans seized Bryansk in

all veterans of Africa. Allied air
planes from carriers shot down 10
Nazi planes over the battle area
and with bombers, hammered 60
mile arc of roads and bases around
Salerno. Nazi air support also was
increased.
Dispatches from the front were
less encouraging than the COM
munique from Gen. Dwight d.
Eisenhower's headquarters, which
merely described the heaviest fight
ing of the war as follows:
Heavy fighting continues on the
5th army front. The Germans are
counter attacking desperately. and
at certain points have regained
some of the ground previously tax

In comparing the situation at
Salerno to Gallipoli, it was pointed
out that the Germans hold the high
ground and the Allied task is to
break through and split their posi-
tions. which Gen. Sir Bernard L..
Montgomery's 9Th army races up

overcome enemy demolitions.
BARI SEIZE
1t still was slightly over 100 miles
from Salerno when it seized Bari,
on the east coast. Cosenza, on the
west side of the italian toe, also
was taken.
Italians were taking up arms
again in southern Italy to aid the
9th army's battle against the Ger
mans, but there were many pockets
of resistance-as ait Gioia-to be
cleaned UP and many bridges were
destroyed. The Germans also laid
heavy mine fields.
The British we're in contact with
the Germans at Gioia, 30 miles
northwest of Taranto. where the
British 5th corps was in action.
The men of Montgomery, how
ever, were advancing only about 20
miles a day and it was uncertain
what kind of opposition they would
encounter before they could at
tempt to join with the Americans
and British at the Salerno bridge
head.
Meantime, the Nazis were throw
ing everything into an effort to
wipe out the Salerno invasion force
and their superior positions in the
hills gave them a great advantage.
American mobile guns were hitting
back but were at disadvantage as
the enemy previously had fixed
positions in the wooded heights.
CLAIM EVACUATION
(The Nazi DNB agency said that
the Allies had two battleships, many
cruisers and destroyers, and so to
so transports and many landing
craft southeast of Salerno to
evacuate invasion troops. 1t said
Allied positions south of Eboli, 18
miles south of Salerno, were taken
by storm and that the Allied posi-
ton at Salerno had become hope
less)
The weight of the German coun-
terattacks, backed by whitening
artillery barrages and swarms of
dive -bombers, wrested some hard
won territory from the Fifth army,

only at heavy cost.

that the Germans were concentrat-
