ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, AL
gierS, Jan. 29.-The Allies have
expanded their beachhead south
of Rome in drives which have
placed British troops within 18
miles of the Eternal City and
Americans within light artillery
range Of the vital point of Cis-
terna, IA miles northeast of
Anzio and 33 miles from Rome,
Allied headquarters said today in
a special communique.
The British advance went three
miles beyond Carroceto where a
railway bridge 1S miles south of
Rome was captured. Light artil-
lery range" in connection with
Cisterna might mean anything from
small mortars with a range of few
hundred yards to a 75-millimeter
field gun, SO 1t was not known here
just what this position was. But
1t was considered certain the Ger
mans were unable to use either the
airfield, the Appian Way or the rail-
road in the area.
Cisterna Is on both the Appian
Way and the main rail line to the
CASINO front which intersect there

Near Pope's Summer Home.
The British drive IL miles north
of Anzio placed Allied troops with

mer home of Pope Plus XII, and
brought up the possibility of the

property.
Since the invasion of Italy all
Allied troops have had standing or
ders not to use church property as
military cover and to avoid dam
aging religious shrines wherever
possible. However, the Germans
have used church steeples as OBJ
servation towers and fortified other
property. 1t is impossible to swing
the battle around such places, and
they must be taken as any other
objective unless British and Amer
ican soldiers are to pay a heavy
price in lives.

3 AtoIIs Ruided:
RubuuI Doomed,
Jops Admit

By the Associated Press.

Possibly presaging imminent
invasion of the Marshall Islands,
American fleet carrier task forces
yesterday made heavy attacks on
at least three atolls in Japan's
inundated island chain in the
mid-Paciflc.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, an
nouncing the major assault from
Pearl Harbor last night, said the
targets included" the air base OF
Taroa on Maleolap, an atoll which
already has undergone 81 raids; the
Atoll of Wolfe, which had suffered
18 attacks, and Kwajalein, pre-
viously hit 16 times.
The Pacific Fleet commander S
communique was incomplete and a
full report from attacking ships and
details may be made available today.
His use of the word forces"
hinted strongly that sizeable car
rier units had been thrown into
the operation.
The communique did not make
clear whether the attacks had
been completed Oh were con-
tinuing. The fact that the assault
was announced on the same day it
occurred, instead of waiting for the
usual period of radio silence in
attack-and-retire operations, indi-
Gated the attack might be the OPEN
ing stroke of actual invasion.
Rabaul Doomed, Japs Admit.
Announcement of the assaults on
the Marshalls came a few hours
after the Toxic radio conceded in a
broadcast that Japans great base
at Rabaul, on New Britain, some
1900 miles west of the Marshalls,
Is doomed.
Last night Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs advanced headquarters in the
South Pacific announced that more
than 400 japanese planes had been
downed over Rabual this month.
The Marshall have been hit for
more than 20 consecutive days by
the United States 7th Air Force
and Navy planes, but yesterdays
attack is believed to be the heaviest
and most concentrated yet deliv-
cred.
The Marshalls have been pounded
almost daily since shortly before
the invasion of the Gilberts No
vember 20 when regular raids were
begun in order to neutralize the
Marshalls.
These islands were hit twice be-
fore by carrier forces, which in
cluded heavy concentration of
torpedo planes, divebombers and
fighters.
First Raid in 1912.
The first was January 80, 1912,
from Admiral William Halsey's task
forces in daring raid. It was the
first United States offensive in the
Pacific since the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
The Marshalls were hit heavily
last December 4 by task forces.
Secretary of the Navy Knox re-
peatedly has said at press confer
ences that the air bombing of the
Marshalls has been a softening-up
process.
The communicates use of the word
including" might we'll be taken to
indicate that the attacks also have
hit other atolls, such as often
bombed Jaluit and Mill, the bases
nearest to the American-held Gill
berts, 300 miles to the south.
In hitting Taroa Airdrome on
Taroa Islet at Maloelap, the task
force planes went after the enemy
base from which the most Japanese
planes have risen to combat recent
raids. The Taroa interceptors fire.

FiguerOa Brothers
Hailed in Recital
At the Gallery
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

Two gifted brothers, Jose ane
Narciso Figueroa, were presented
in recital at the National Gallery
Of Art last night where they
aroused continually expressed en-.
thusiasm by their playing. Violinist
and pianist respectively, they com.
bined their talents in two sonatas
Mozart's Sonata in B fiat major
K 378" and Ponce's Sonata Breve,
and were heard in solo groups
which featured mostly moderr
music.
Best known to the general pub.
lie of this country by his song
"Estrellita," Ponce's greater claim
to fame lies in his more serious
works which are heard only occa'
sionally. The playing of the Mexi
can composers sonata was an in.
novation and welcome opportunity
to hear an example of his COM
positions that have gained hin
recognition as one of the foremost
musical writer's of his country. Ir
the three brief movements, he dis.
plays distinct imaginative faculty
Of a fresh and stimulating character
which he develops with skillfu
harmonic treatment Of an origina
type. Giving to the piano the more
ornate figurations, his writing fol
the violin is more simple while
expressing at the same time 8
wealth Of individual ideas.
The performance of the two ar
lists in this and the Mozart sonats
was brilliant in effect marked by
a finely developed ensemble. Fol.
lowing the concerted numbers, JOSE
Figueroa played the Bach Cha
come" for violin unaccompanied
with broad style and musical feel
ing. His tone is vibrant and rich
and his fluent technique, answer
ing all requirements, has also 8
dashing quality that gives lghtness
and elegance to his performance. A
final solo group included Szymanow-
skis Chant de Roxane," Milhaud s
"Ipanema," the Vale -Heifetz "Ao pe
da Fogueira" and the dashine
"Ronde des Lutins" by Bazzini.
The piano selections chosen by
Narciso Figueroa avoided the toe
familiar, but were of such charac.
ter as to give full display to the
superior pianistic talent Of thi.
young artist. Chopin's "Polonaise
Fantasie, Opus 81" was the only
tribute to the older masters, the
Latin-American composers, Fabini
and Mignone and the Spanish mod
ernist, Halffter shared the contem.
porary honors with Shostakovich.
The strangely contrasting effect
In Fabinis "Triste" illustrates the
individual viewpoint which makes
the work of the outstanding Latin.
American writers of special interest
and which was demonstrated fur
ther in Mignone's Quasi Modinha
and "Criancas Brincando." Mr.
Figueroa's powerful touch, fiery
temperament, and basic technica
excellence made his performance o.
Halffter's DANA de la Gitana" st
exhilarating that an encore wa.
demanded, the artist playing Dt
Fallas "Rituel Fire Dance"
Both artists were recalled re.
peatedly in recognition of theil
outstanding presentation of a pro.
gram Of unusual variety.

Chang Government +!
Prestige Lowered
By Recent Defeats
Nv the Associated Press.

CHUNGK1NG, Sept. 29.-Recent
Chinese defeats and the possibility
that the American 14th Air Force
may lose additional bases in China
have produced an atmosphere of
gloom in this capital, unmatched
since the dark days when China
was fighting the war alone.
There Is no doubt in Chungking
that the Allies will defeat Japan
but the consensus of both Chinese
and Americans seems to be that
the war has been prolonged for sew
eral months already as a result of
the recent reverSes.
In addition the prestige of the
Chinese Central government has
been harmed. This is important,
not only with respect to relations
between the Chinese and their allies,
but because the reverses resulted in
the Central government losing q
certain amount of face in dealings
with the Communists in the North
Significant Events Listed.
These events emerge as significant
from strictly military viewpoint:
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault
has lost several major and minor
airdromes, from which he was able
to harass Japanese forces in China
and damage shipping along the
coast, as well as easy access to other
airfields.
The loss of his three remaining
forward bases at Kweilin, Tanchuk
and Liuchow is possible within a
short period
The result would be that bombing
operations would be pushed back
to the big base at Running, 480
miles west of Kweilin, where attacks
on shipping would be extremely diff
flcult.
Some Of China's best divisions
have been chewed up and disor-
ganized by the Japanese due to the
enemys superior training, leader
ship and better arms.
The reduction in offensive strength
and the loss of air bases has weak
ened greatly the possibility of CO.
operation in any joint effort with
American forces in the Pacific in
the event of an attempt to seize an
important China coast port.
Recuperation to Be Slow.
Recuperation from the japanese
blows will require months, even If
the Japanese should be content, as
some expect, merely to seize KWei-
lin and Liuchow and force a Chi
aese and American retreat on Kun
ming
The fact the Chinese have been
flghtlng under adverse conditions
since 1887, pitifully equipped, poorly
fed and without medical facilities,
has contributed to the difficulties
suffered on the Chinese front.
But another recent contributing
factor is widespread acceptance of
the idea that the war against japan
Is being won by American forces in
the Pacific and that further Chinese
participation would at best onlv
shorten the war.
This viewpoint has only been able
to soften partially the sting of Chi
nese defeats, however, for there is
concern about how much influence
China will have at a peace confer
ence II she ends the war in a near
state of collapse,
