Raj Big Bombers
loin Italy War in
Attacks on Alps

LONDON, Sept. II. - (UP)-
Britain's big fleets of night bomb
ers joined the battle for Italy last
night with two assaults to block
Germanys supply routes from
France, concentrating a heavy blow
on the Alpine Tunnel line at
Modane, and raided Berlin for the
second straight night.
Possibly 1000 tons of bombs were
unloaded at Modane, which is on
the Italy-French border mainline
rail route through the Graian Alps
just west of the vital $12,000,00
Mont Cenis Tunnel through which
Nazi supplies are moving.
Constant streams of bomberS kept
the skies over Hitler's Europe alive
through the night and U. S. an
noIncement said the steady raids
ready had forced the Germans to
withdraw planes from front lines
trying to protect themselves.
The Modane flight was the
strongest of the night blows which
with the American-led day attacks
were tanning out nearly the full
length of Europe.
Turning the weight of the round
the-clock offensive against the con-
tinent to the aid of Allied forces
fighting up the Italian peninsula, a
second flight of the Royal air force
bombers attacked the coastal line
near st. Raphael on the French

PaFiisans Capture
4Sirategic Ports
On Adriatic Coast

LONDON, Sept. II. (UP)
The Jugoslav partisan ar
my under General Tito has
captured four strategic Adri-
attic ports and is consolidat-
ing positions along two so mile
coastal sectors which could be used
by the Allies as an entrance into
the Balkans from eastern Italy, a
Jugosiav spokesman reported 20
day.
The partisans captured Split, most
important seaport on the Dalma-
tian coast; Susak, less than 10 miles
from the German-held port of
Fiume; Semi, 30 miles southeast of
Susak, and Bakar, according to a
communique of the Jugoslavian
Liberation army received here.
BRIEF ENCOUNTER
Strong forces occupied Split after
brief but fierce encounter with
the small German garrison, it was
said, and reinforcements were
brought up to safeguard against
possible German counterattacks.
Fiume was in danger of being
isolated, with the Partisans control
ling the area between Susak and
Semi and the territory to the north.
Several minor >clashes with the
Germans have been reported along
the Italian frontier during the last
few days.
tThe free Jugoslav radio reported
that the patriot army of Gen. Draja
Mikhailovitch also had been sue
cessful in violent battles with the
Germans along the coast, accord
ing to the office of war informa-
tion.)

Japane!se Soldiers
Advised to Leave

Two Japanese soldiers were ques-

Ell Centre last Thursday and ad-
vised to leave Imperial county for
their own safety.
Cpl. Tadao Yamada of the receiv-

Texas, had a leave permit for
Poston, Ariz., and California. His
father was Juichi Yamado and he
formerly lived in the Imperial area.
His 15-day leave was to expire Sept.

PFC. Shosaku Kodama of the
Fort Sam Houston receiving center
also had leave permit similar to
his companion. He used to live on
the Roy Westmorland ranch.
They said they had some business
to transact in Ell Centro. They did
not appear to be greatly worried as
to their safety, Ware said, but
agreed to leave before something
happened.

The Germans we're estimated by
the Nazi-controlled Turin news
paper La Stamps to have poured
100000 troops into northern Italy
for a stand against the Allies.
A Diplomatic Courier who left
Rome Wednesday was quoted by the
Gazette De Lausanne in Switzer-
land as saying that the Germans
have mounted IL apti-tank guns in
st. Peters square squarely in front
of the central stairway into the
Basilica and have studded the top
of the famous Bernini colUmnade
with machine guns.
The Germans were said to have
imposed the ban on visitors to St
Peters Basilica to prevent anti
German or anti-Facisist refugees
from seeking refuge inside the
church.
