TIERS, Naples, June 2. (UP)
American forces cracked
the two anchors of the Ger
man line guarding the ap-
proaches to Rome Friday,
blasting their way into Vel
letri and slashing across the
Via Casilina escape highway
near Valmontone in an all
out drive on the capital.
The twin penetrations were an
nounced in special communique
while other American units OF the
Fifth army were clearing the enc

more than two miles north of Vel
letri and preparing to storm Mt.
Della Faeta, last height before
Rene itself.
HIT 28-MILE FRONT
The Fifth army was reported Of
ficially to be attacking all along
the 2S mile length of the front
from Valmontone to the Tyrrhen-
ism sea in powerful attempt to
smash completely through the belt
of enemy Notifications and reach
Rome, only 13 miles away at the
nearest point.

(An Algiers broadcast relayed by
London and recorded by CHS said
the Canadians had captured; Feren-

The German command had mass
ed the whole Hermann Goering
division, along with other enemy
units which had escaped from the
south, at Valmontone for desper-
ate attempt to hole the town at
ell cost, but the Germans finally
broke after week OF almost cease

Hull Promises
Freedom for
Colonial People

WASHINGTON, June 2, tUP) -
The millions of people in colonies
in India, in tie East Indies, in
Africa-Friday had the promise of
Secretary of State Cordell Hull that
the United States encourages sub
ject people to strive for liberty and
will recognize them as soon as they
gain their freedom.
That has been our consistent
record, record CT championship
of liberty for everybody, encourag-
ing them at all times and in all
Places Hull told his press con-
ference Thursday.
Diplomats here considered his
statement one of the mott poten-
TALLY controversial uttered by an
American statesman in many
months, and predicted that the re-
action CT eXponents of freedom for
colonial peoples - especially in In
dia would confirm their belief.
They considered it direct invita-
ton to India's 39O.Oc0,000 people,
for example, to continue their long
struggle for Liberty.
Although Hull's statement started
cut as reinsurance to small nations
of sovereign equality with big ones
in the postwar world. it appeared
on analysis to be directed more to
the subject of the Briti!h, Dutch.
and French empires.
The statement was in sharp con-
trast to some of the ideas expressed
by Winston Churchill who has stat
ed proudly that he did not become
British prime minister to preside
over TIE liquidation of the British
empire. Last week he told COM
mons that the war has grown less
theological and called upon the COM
monwealth and empire - this
marvellous structure of states and
dependencies" to hang together
or, he implied, hang separately.
