Yanks in Italy
Pursue Nazis
Allies Surge
Toward Gothic Line

ROME, July 20 - tP) -
American troops, reaching the
south banks of the lower Arno
River on a 25-mile front in hot
pursuit of the Germans fleeing
to their Gothic Line defenses
beyond the river, have captured
Cole Salvetti, seven miles
northeast of allies-held Liverno,

today.
The latest town to fall to the
Americans, tanning out against
decreasing Nazi resistance, is
about 10 miles southeast of Pisa,
on a highway leading directly
to that important enemy anchor
position.
German opposition was con-
fined largely to sniping parties
armed with automatic weapons
as United States forces seized
the last high ground held by the
Germans south of the Arno Riv-
err, and laid down artillery fire
hich left the enemy without any
alternative than retreat.
AT the other end of the front
Polish and Italian units pushed
on from the west coast port of
Ancona and cut the coastal road
at Torrette Mare, nearly three
miles west of the city. Another
column, with armor, sped along
the inland route in the Adriatic
sector and established a bridge
head over the Esino River, 10
miles west of Ancona and south
of Chiaravalle.
The enemy left much valuable
equipment in the Ancona Sec

LONDON, July 20 - up -
Another 1000 American planes
blackened the skies of central
Germany today, bombing a great
array of airplane factories and
synthetic oil plants around Leip-

The armada consisted of more
than 1000 bombers and up to
$50 fighters.

other American bombers from
Italy were striking the roofless
Reich for the third straight day,

On both Tuesday and Wednes-

AS a physician in the service

years, Capt. Joseph j. Reich
man, of this city, has flown on
many errands of mercy. His lat
est, a dash of nearly 10000
miles from the hills of India to

mercy close to his heart.
DR.. Reichman arrived here
this week to visit his wife,
Elizabeth, seriously i'll in a De-
troit sanitarium for some time.
Mrs. Reichman's condition, al
though not termed critical, is
grave, and attending physicians
sought her husbands presence
as stimulant to her gaining
strength in her battle for health.
Through the far-reaching ave-
nues of the American Red Cross,
DR.. Reichman explains, he was
contacted in India, where he is
serving with medical unit, and
the barriers of official procedure
were rapidly overcome to en-
able him to board a fast trans
port plane for home.
1t is expected that but little
of DR.. Reichman's precious leave
here will be spent away from
the bedside of his ailing wife,
but various local families an

EAST DETROIT - Mr.. and
Mrs. William Otter, of 1928
Stewart avenue, in Warren

limits, are keeping a lonely vigil
at the windows of their small
home, and at the mail box -
awaiting a call or some written

nine days ago.
The void that exists in their

center about 9 pm, Monday
July 10, and has not been seen
since.

friends she was going home.
When she failed to show up at
II pm, after Otter had returned
from his work in a war plant,
the family reported the case to
