In taking Valva the Americans hac

In the central mountain sector
the British also were marking ur
steady progress and extended theil
lines beyond Muro, 18 miles north
west of Potenza and 38 miles directly
east of Salerno They were an
nounced as "still in contact with the
enemy just north of Atella," the cap
ture of which was disclosed yester-
day. Spinazzola also fell to the
British in this area.
The British American occupation
had been pushed up approximately
one-sixth the length of the Italian
boot in "a days.
Although the Germans were fall
ing back northeast of Salerno
allowing the Americans to drive
a wedge between their forces around
Naples and those deeper inland, the
! fighting was bitter and at close
quarters to the north and northwest
of Salerno Immediately along the
coast.

might take them to an east-west
road leading to Avellino, only miles
north of their present position.
Repair Work Necessary.
The enemy rearguards had de-
molished practically every bridge
and road, however, and considerable
repair work was necessary to open
the flow of supplies
Discussing the fighting north and
northwest of Salerno, the head
quarters spokesman said, enemy re-
sistance is stubborn and the out
come is being decided in man-to-
man encounters. This fighting re-
sembles some of the historic battles
of, World War I when strong

taken by hard frontal assault"
The Germans were so we'll en-

An impressive show-the Army

tory today.
The greatest display of militar,
might America has known came t,
close at 10 o'clock last night, fea
tured by an address by James v
Byrnes, War Mobilization Director
who emphasized that the buying O
a War bond is the least sacrifice ar
American can make"
Officials in charge said 206 900 per
sons entered the ground on the las
day of a show unique in Washington
history, Attendance during the II
days, they said, was in excess O.
l,750,00o.

those at home not making some
sacrifice are not keeping faith witt
those brave Americans who are
flghtlng and who are making the
supreme sacrifice in Italy, in New
Guinea and on our far-f1ung battle
fields"
MI. Byrnes estimated that Ameri.
cans will have left over to spend O,
invest about $4,000, 100000 afte,
paying taxes and buying all avail
able goods and services.
1t Is only common sense" he
said, TO invest a large portion OF
thls in War bonds and hold them fol-
a rainy day. If we spend this sur
Nus bidding up prices in an effort
p get more than our fair share of
the available goods, it will be i'm
wssible to hold ceiling prices. We
will make black markets. We will
Sart an imitation spiral that will
ihpoverish the people"
Insurance Against Want.
s"Buying bonds in itself is no sacri-
flee" he continued. Only when you
deny to yourself everyday pleasures
and comforts in order to buy bonds
doS you make any sacrifice. Even
then the sacrifice is only momentary
because in the long run you profit
by 7 putting your money in War
bonds. They pay interest, and there
is no better investment than the
bonds of your own Government. :"
When the war is over, he added.
bonds will insure us against want IF
We have a, business depression
If good times continue, the bonds
can be used to purchase those things
which will make for higher stand
