 TROOPS PUSH THROUGH LINE

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NAPLES, May 29-(AP)-Fifth Army troops s-ormed toward four main strongholds in the Rome area today. against fierce resis'- ance, thrusting forward and push ing a wedge through the lines, only Is miles from the eternal city, headquarters declared.
 Three of the IS German divi- sons were virtually destroyed in he broad offensive, which was launched May 1lth, and in which more than 1l,000 prisoners were taken.

INCRE EASED NAZI TENSION IS NOTED

LONDONs May 29.-(AP)-Ger- man broadcasts reflected the in- creased tension on Marshal von Rundstets' entire invasion front, facing troop-packed England, as the temperature over. the glassy Straits of Dover reached an unof- ficial 100 degrees shortly before noon today, with official report claims of 81 in the shade.
 Nazi commentators asserted that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower missed on the favorable invasion date, when the tides and weather were perfect One observer cried out, Germany would prefer the invasion to come today, rather than tomorrow"
 The statement suggested that the enemy defenses had at least once been brought up to the nerve racking peak of alertness, only to find that Hitler's command had guessed wrong.
 'It is no longer a secret that the British have missed on the invasion date" the German Trans Ocean Agency said.
 Quoting hte foreign office spokesman, the <JNB said, ''There can be no doubt that the original date fixed for the invasion has passed, but there are so many symptoms and speculations con- nected with the next date tha' Germany cannot possibly be ta- ken by surprise"
 A Swiss paper, Gazette De Lausanne, gave new clues to the defense problem of Von Rund- stet, complicated by railroads snarled and tangled to profusion by allied bombers.
 The paper said, 'There is in- creasing fear of a general day of strike by French railroad work CTS. The Nazis are sending in more key men to take over the responsible positions.
 Nazi broadcasts asserted the allies had passed up the most favorable invasion opportunity because they found out its le- gions of men and stupendous ar ray of equipment is not as ready for the great event as they thought.
