That bombardment also is con-

Tearing into enemy positions,
those shells could have added con-

that American troops "have been
able only to gain a foothold in a

coast.
German troops buttressing the
Italians halted the British advance
on the east coast after the pene-
trations inland, ''While the Amer
leans were thrown back with con-
siderable losses to their bridge
heads al Licata and Gela," Capt.
Ludwig Sertorius, military CORE
spondent of Transocean, asserted
in Berlin broadcast
Sertorius said ev ven British,
American and Canadian divisions
thus far had been put ashore IN
Sicily and General Eisenhower
undoubtedly can, if he desires,
oo..ble the forces already landed. :"
Enemy forces defending Sicily
were estimated at IL divisions,
ranging up to perhaps $4,000 men,
by Allied sources in Africa. Two
were said to be probably German,
the others five Italian coastal di-
visions and five Italian infantry
divisions.
This compared with London
estimate on Friday that the Axis
had forces ranging up to as high
as 40O,0 900 men on Sicily.
The Italian communique, mean
while, declared Axis t ops had
counterattacked, compelling an Al

other Berlin broadcast, also re-
corded by the Associated Press,
stated that American troops had
been driven back by Italian re-
serves at one point and forced
back into the sea in neighboring
area by a German charge.
In London, military observers
were pleased by the swift, low

much hard fighting probably lay
ahead.
"Of course, after the way the
enemy collapsed when we put on
the final pressure in Tunisia, l
wouldn't be surprised by any

far, there is nothing to indicate
any collapse of the Italian or Ger
