the direct assault by massed guns
and airplanes on the main German

pierce the Nazi defenses was being
made at Cava Di Tirreni, but fight

The Germans threw in tanks in
an effort to delay or stop the Allied
advance, especially northeast OF
Salerno. but Clark's headquarters
appeared to be optimistic after a
period of fierce day and night
fighting.
The Nazis are unlikely to stop our
advance, it was stated.
Fifth army reports indicated that
the Germans were suffering heavy
casualties but, probably due to the
tremendous Allied air umbrella and
artillery onslaught, our losses were
believed to be comparatively light.
All prisoners taken were Germans.
"a London broadcast said that
Nazi Marshal Albert Kesselring had
been compelled to withdraw some
troops from the Salerno front to
suppress disorders behind the Ger
man lines. An NBC broadcast from
Allied headquarters said that news
was expected at any time that the

hills north of Salerno and reached
the Naples plain)
MAKE WITHDRAWAL
II was believed that when the
break through comes at CaVa Dl

have made a lightning withdrawal
from the Sorrento peninsula, just
across the gulf from Naples, to
escape being trapped by the drive
through the base of the peninsula
In addition to the terrible de-
vastation caused by Allied aerial
and artillery bombardment through
/ out the Naples sector, the Germans
still were destroying the great port
of Naples at rapid pace. Cholera
and famine were reported adding to
the terrors of the besieged and de-
yastated city.
Allied pilots said they believed
that the huge fires in Naples meant
that the Germans would abandon
the city without a real fight a.

Naples Invested
By Ydnks While
Roosevelt Talks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 CUP)
President RooSevelt's promise of
new Allied landings on hostile
shores began to be fulfilled early
today with American invasion OF
the Italian mainland.
Speculation-and expectation
of imminent landings in Norway,
southern France, the islands of
Sardinia and Corsica, Greece or

His address was delivered at
9:45 p. m, Detroit time, Is min
utes after American operations be-

ceived confirmation OF the new
invasion just before going on the

the phrase "at this moment" But

ALLIED HQ. IN NORTH
AFRICA, Sept 9 tINS)--A
savage gun battle between Ger
man and Italian troops in south
ern Italy, three days before the
Allied invasion, was disclosed to-
day, indicating the fighting that
may be expected now that Italy
mas capitulated 10 the Allies.
Some 800 casualties here suf-
fered on both sides in the Italo-
German battle which ragged in the
Calabrian Mountains behind Reg
Cio di Calabria with the Nazis
coming off second best.
TELLS OF BATTLE
The bloody encounter between
troops which were still at that
time technically Allies was re-
Vealed by an Italian resident OF
the Reggie area, now firmly oc-
cupied by the British Eighth
Army.
Speaking good English acquired
when he had lived in the United
States. the resident said
"When the Germans told the
Italians they would have 10
fight better, the Italians re-
fused. The Germans argued and
finally the shooting started.
200 GERMANS KILLED
Both sides dug in in the hills.
The battle lasted some hours.
About 200 Germans were killed
or wounded and about 100
Italian casualties were suffered.
The fighting was at close
quarters. Neither side showed
any mercy. IL was bitter while

In the city of Reggie itself, II
