- British troops crawling up rocky
mountains to pierce German de-
lenses and enter the Simeto River
Valley fought today in the streets
of a village perched atop an 1900
foot peak.
| The fight was a symbol of the
struggle everywhere up and down
the line in this area where bridge
heads have been plunged into the
enemy's positions in eastern Sicily.
When the troops got across the
Dittanio river, before them lay a
smooth valley ending sharply In
sheer slopes, pointed peaks, deep
gullies and hogback ridges. Every
village was German strongpoint.
Every cluster of rocks contained
guns trained on the roads.
Tanned. dusty troopers kicked
and cursed stubborn mules packing
supplies up to the fgront lines. Mo-
tors were of little use.
Late yesterday the general COM
handing the center of General Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery's three
pronged push into the mountains
began the drive to get the village

houses frame dagainst the slopes
behind it.
To the northeast Mount Etna was

thick gray haze. On the lower
slopes of the mountain. beyond the
Simeto river, the Germans presum-
ably had put their last lines.

Mogador, landing point for United

Ships usually anchor as near the city
as the depth of the harbor will per-

swells.
Neither ship repairs nor ship
stores were ordinarily available at
Mogador, but the town was a port

with Agadir. Morocco's southern
most port. 10 miles down the coast,
Marrakech, big inland city, 100 miles
to the east, and Casablanca. A
quarter of a mile southwest is a mill
tary airdrome.
Mogador rises in spotless white
from a low, sandy coastal area. So
striking is the walled town when

called it "Suirah" (The Picture).
Well built and fortified, it normally
