ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North
Africa, Sept. 6. (UP)-The British
Eighth army advancing on a 30
mile front, has driven 10 miles into
the mountainous southern tip of
Italy to capture San Stefano and
has increased its total of prisoners
to 5000. it was announced today.
MANY DEMOLITIONS
Very extensive demolitions of
bridges and highways slowed the

communique said, though nowhere

resistance continued slight With
prisoners being rounded up in
patches of 100 or more. In the first
two days, 1000 were seized, almost
all of them Italians who were left
behind as rear guard while the
Germans retreated north.
The road connecting San Stefani
with Reggie Calabria, as well as
San Stefani itself, also was captur-
ed yesterday.
Meantime, the main Eighth army
columns pushed eastward along the
coastal road that completely en-
circles Italy. One force was probing

Cruiser Strength
Still Inadequate

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-CUP)-
The U. S. Navy's heavy cruiser
strength, cut by losses in the Pac-
ific, is still below the pre-war total
although the number of light
cruisers has been vastly expanded.
This was revealed today by an
analysis of announced launchings
to date. This showed that four
heavy cruisers-the Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Canberra and Quincy-have
been launched since Dec. 7, 1941.
The Baltimore. launched in July
1942, is the only one of these pre-
sumed to have joined the fleet as
yet.
Six heavy cruisers have been lost
in battle. These are the Quincy,
Vincennes, Astoria, Houston, North
ampton and Chicago. In addition,
three light cruisers-Juneau, At
lanta and Helena-have been sent
to the bottom. But the deficiency
in the latter class has been made
up many times over by new con-
struction.
SUPER R-CRUISERS
In addition, the first of six secret
super cruisers - the Alaska - has
been launched. 1t went down the
ways of the New York shipbuilding
corporation at Camden, N. j.. on
Aug. Is. The navy has released no
information on the Alaska class,
which has been designated large
cruiser" type, beyond reporting that
these ships will be in excess OF
10000 tons.

Germany in daylight today
after British four-engined
bombers devastated the Rhineland
inland port and arms center of
Mannheim-L m-Ludwigshafen last night
with upwards of 1000 tons of ex-

The daylight raids carried the
latest around the clock Anglo
American air offensive against Hit

fighters supported the Fortresses,
while Raj and Allied Spitfires
covered and escorted the Maraud-
erS.
ACROSS STRAITS
Still another formation of Allied
planes roared out across the straits
of Dover toward France shortly be-
fore noon.
First report that the Flying Fort
resseS were over Germany came
from the Berlin radio.
The Berlin broadcast, heard here
at II a. m. 6 a. m. EWT), said
that heavy air battles between
American bombers and German
fighters were at that moment
taking place over Baden and Wurt-
temberg, the southwestern pro-
vinces of Germany.
The days target was not reported
by the German broadcast, but the
flight marked the second American
penetration of southern or central

dicate that the Alaska class vessels
are more nearly battle cruisers.
James reports that the ships will
have displacement of about 27,000
tons, cary six 14-inch or possibly
nine 12-inch guns in addition to 16
five-inch guns and four aircraft
That publication also said that
their speed will be in the neighbor-
hood of 35 knots.
EXCEED 30 KNOTS
Fahey reports that the Alaska
class will be of 26,500 tons, have a
speed of 30-odd knots and carry
batteries of eight or nine 12-inch
guns.
If those reports are correct, the
Alaska class appears to be this
country's answer to Japan's Chichi-
bu class and the German pocket
battleships Scharnhorst and Gneise-
nau.
The American light cruiser pro-
gram would have been even farther
ahead except for the decision to
convert a number of that type to
aircraft carriers. Eight such car
riers have been launched.
Only four light cruisers have
been launched so far this year
Astoria, Vincennes and Houston,
namesakes of warships lost in the
Pacific, and the Biloxi. In addition
these light cruisers have been
launched since Dec 7, l941: Colum-
bia, Montpelier, Denver, Birming-
ham, Mobile, Miami, Oakland and
Reno. The light cruisers San Diego
and San Juan, launched before the
outbreak of war, were placed in
