NEW YORK Uncle Bob

last week and IN general house

notice that all potential trouble

ALLIES ADVANCE
ON ERA RIVER
Americans Strike North
Beyond Strongpoint
OF Jajatico

ROME, July 11.-(P)-Am-
erican troops were striking
northward tonight down the
Era river valley beyond the
by-passed German stronghold
of Jajatico in a bold thanking
threat to Livorno and Pisa.
The enemy, fully aroused to
the danger of the United
States maneuver, was offer
ing violent opposition.
American armored spearheads
were reported within a dozen miles
of the broad Arno valley at the
point where the Era joins the Arno
TO flow westward through Pisa to
the sea. Should 1t. Gen. Mark w.
CIark's forces succeed in plung-
ing through the Arno valley they
would be in position to wheel west
ward and entrap the Nazi divi-
sions which have stalled the Allies
some 10 miles below Livorno.
An Allied spokesman said the
Americans in the Era valley were
advancing against elaborate forti-
fications, the enemy evidently hav-
ing anticipated such an attempt to
pierce their Gothic line" outposts.
The Germans sensitivity in this
sector is evidenced by the many
machine-guns in position, with al
ternate prepared emplacements.' -
he said. "They also are using a
number of self-propelled guns and
considerable light artillery"
The Era valley battlefield is ap.
proximately 81 miles inland from
the Tyrrhenian coast, almost due
east of Livorno, the immediate
tprize of the Allied campaign in TIA
ly. For the past two days there has
been no report of progress by U. S.
infantry forces directly below Lfv-
orno on the coast. They ran into
fresh Nazi units bolstered by in
tense fire from artillery and NOR
tars.
Allied gains clear across the pen
insula continued to be measured
almost by the yard, with the en-
envy fighting hard for every hill and
clump of ruined houses. British
forces still probed at the elaborate
defenses of Arezzo. SO miles south
east of Florence, without making
appreciate progress. French and
American units of the Fifth army
were reported fighting in the out
skirts of Poggizonsi, % miles south
and slightly west of Florence.
Frequently positions changed
hands several times in a day as the
Nazis threw in repeated savage
counter-attacks.

Lumber Company Pays

RALEIGH, July 1.-THE Greene
Brothers Lumber company, inc, of

administrators claim for treble
damages for overcharges on lum-

Theodore S. Johnson, Raleigh

The Green Brothers Lumber

hardwood lumber at prices in ex-

were at the wholesale level, John.

At the same time, a permanent

SKY FLEETS

Big Planes Strike Hard

LONDON, July IL (R Three
Allied sky fleets totaling some g.

two fighters failed to return from

A Swiss communique said five
American bombers landed at Du-

At the same time the Meditter-
ranean air force sent fighter-ex-
corted Liberators-a force of prob
ably more than 500 planes-from
Italian bases to make the sixth
attack on harbor installations at
Toulon, last bombed July 5. The
attack was through a heavy anti
aircraft barrage but no enemy
planes were seen and crewmen
reported a good pattern of bomb
hits.
British home-based Lancaste-s

500 planes gave the flying bomb

A Navy communicate today, re-
porting actions on the far-flung
battlefront, said "shore based
fighters attacked Pagan Island in
the Marianas last Friday. Anti
aircraft fire was intense but there
was no interrogation.
Pagan is about 200 miles no. tn
of Saipan. Its major airfield As
Ito but renamed Isley, was cap
tured at the outset of the Saipan
invasion. 1t is within easy fighter
range of Pagan.
Today's mention of the shore
based sweeps indicated that Is
ley field is in operation. Earlier,
the Tokyo radio broadcast a
Domei news agency dispatch say
ing several large planes and
more than so small planes were
observed using the field.
Futile attacks by small enemy
units were reported Sunday on
Saipan, where American ground
forces are mopping up. Adm.
Chester w. Nimitz said the enemy
remnants were killed or driven
into hiding to be hunted down lat
er. Many survivors had been rout-
ed from hulks of ships off shore.
They, too, were killed, o. captur-
ed.
Light American warships con-
tinued their Smelling Of Guam
through Sunday, Nimitz reported.
There were no details.
Raids by Navy planes Monday
on Paramushiro and Shumushu
Islands in the far Northern Kuriles
were reported, the first since June
20.
Bombers of the Seventh Army
air force struck at Truk atoll Mon
day and at isolated enemy bases
in the Marshalls on Sunday.
There was no reported loss in
any of the aerial operations.
The continued action against
the islands south of conquered
Saipan, where American ground
forces are hopping up, led to
speculation on the possibility of
other landings in the Marianas
group. There has been no official
indication, of course. The almost
daily pounding may be intended
merely to neutralize enemy bases,
as in the Marshall and Caroline
islands.
A delayed dispatch from Rem
bert James, Associated Press war
correspondent, reported TIL t
superior American fire power was
responsible for heavy japanese
casualties on Saipan, despite the
