Clark S Forces Batter
|Af Nazis' Gothic Line
On 25-MiIe Front
~ the Associa ted Press,

ROME, Sept. lit. Gen.
Mark Clark's 5th Army today Is
battering the forward edges Of
the Nazi Gothic Line In Italy on
a 25-mile front, with enemy re-
sistance increasing tremendous
ly," and future gains will be 4
test of ALLIED might against
the German will to resist" Allied
headquarters said.
The 5th Army, which now includes
several British divisions, cracked
through German outposts all along
the western sector Of the front be-
tween Pistoia and Lucca.
An ofdcial statement summed up
future prospects:
THE enemy has brought into play
the full force of his combined arms,
and although daily advances have
recently been made from one to
three miles along the line, the ad-
vance viii be slowed down by enemy
resistance and from now on the test
of Allied might against the German
will to resist will be made"
Stalemate Broken.
On the Adriatic sector, British,
Canadian and Indian troops broke
the stalemate of several days in the
Corlano-San Savino area and ad-
vanced 1000 yards against fierce op-
position. Farther south British
forces recaptured two bitterly con-
tested points about 1000 yards
northwest of Croce and continued to
forge ahead.
The announcement that British
divisions including the South
African 9Th Division, whose advance
elements occupied Pistoia on Sunday
have been thrown into the line
with the 5th Army, indicates the
scale Of the effort Gen. Clark Is
making to break the core of the
Gothic Line In Central Italy.
Headquarters emphasized that
the Gothic Line is really a defense
zone several miles In depth studded
with many concrete emplacements.
Trenches. tank obstacles, mines and
dugouts are ranged along the noun
tainsfdes "and everything coneeiv-
able has been done to make the
position strong"
Lines Resistance Increases,
1T is 80 designed that In penetrAt-
ing the line resistance increases
With the depth of penetration"
said.
The location OF the deepest Allied
penetration was not disclosed
specifically.
Allied forces yesterday had
reached the threshold of two main
passes through the Gothic Line
There was no further word OF their
progress
Allied medium bombers and fight
ers continued to support the attack,
blasting rail bridges in the Pc VAL
ley and positions in the Rimini
area and north of Florence. Coastal
aircraft attacked shipping in the
Gulf Of Genoa.
The Navy announced the bom-
bardment of Rimini was continued
Tuesday with good results despite
increased enemy counterfire. The
Navy also reported sinking of an
enemy convoy Of several vessels in
the Aegean by destroyers Tuesday
night.

Eor RadioL Listener,
By Ben KabIan.

You can ask . lot of questions
about Bing Crosby around Holly
wood and you win get . lot Of evasive
answers. but. when you question
Bing's favortte caddy, Grant Leon
ard, you'll. get the. straight dope
Grant has caddied for the Groaner
for the past nve, years, OF and on,
and just as everybody else who
spendssa lot Of, time around Crosby,
Grant Is. sold pNd m Bing. Says he:
Bling is = satat guy. He embar-
raases me sometimes, by handing me
things hat, beautiful sweater, a
wonderful new golf club or one Of
his fayorite pipes. Bing won't let
loose OF 4 gift II anybody asks him.
He just gets. an idea on the spur Of
the moment and gives something to
the guy standing next to him. We
made q deal about two years ago that
every time Bing broke 10 (par at his
favortte golf course) he would buy
me new suit. 50 far I'm into him
for Ave suits-at six bits apiece
($75)." :.
Grant Is 80 years old, married and
the father Of three small children.
He loves to caddy for the Groaner
who, he declares, "is no duck on
golf course. He hits 'em out OF
sight!" Grant felt little guilty
while talked to him, and confessed
the last SIS he won from Bing about
four months ago didn't go for a new
suit. II used it as the down pay
ment on a washing machine for the
missus!" he said.
There's a famous story about
Bing, who's noted for giving gen.
erously when no one asks, but backs
away when any one approaches him
for ready cash. His brother Bob,
who's doing all right for himself
these days on his own show, was
stranded with his band in the Mid
die West shortly after forming it.
Bob sent Bing an urgent wire for
FUNDS and then proceeded to hang
around the telegraph Office all day.
Finally the reply came through:
Sorry. Didn't receive your tele-
gram. 49, "BING."

from the studio audience didn't help
any, until Hawk kidded, "Okay, okay

AFL and CIO leaders are amazed at John L. Lewis continued suc- cess in flouting the authority of the War Labor Board. Actually many believe Lewis has the mon key sign" on the VILE, knows they're scared stiff of him.
 In the past few days, the WLB has tried to enlist Lewis coopera- ton in ending a series of wildcat strikes in the Pennsylvania coal fields However, Lewis sole reply has been that the striking locals were autonomous. He has refused to step in and help the Govern ment.
 AF'L and CIO union presidents, who have been haled before the board whenever one of their locals struck, are now wondering why Lewis can get away with defying the Government and they can't.

law by Congressional legislation will stand is being decided now the aboriginal rights hearings being held at Hydaburg.
 The Secretary of the Interior states his position through counsel that the purpose of the hearings is to make known areas rightfully belonging to the Indians under aboriginal claims in order that the Secretary may apply the regulations regarding them
 The Secretary of the Interior is authorized by the White Act to draw up regulations governing Alaskas fisheries each year for the purpose of pro- tecting and conserving the fisheries and that is far as the directions Congress has given the Secretary go Except that the Act orders the Secretary that mo exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted nor shall any citizen of the United States be denied the right to fish) in any area of the waters of Alaska where fishing is permitted by the Secretary Of the Interior
 However the fact remains that these hearings have begun, and the outcome may well be that areas of exclusive fishery will be set up.
 The hearings are based upon part of the regula- tions drawn up by the Secretary-not by Congress providing that Indians claiming aboriginal rights may petition to have such claims recognized.
 The incorporation of this provision into the fish cry regulations by the Secretary violates the White Act because this Act does not give Ickes the he has assumed In fact the Act specifically guards against such thing.
 The reservation established at Karuk-Kodiak to the White Act is not legal.
 Either the White Act--an Act of Congress-is the authority in settling this question, or a regulation issued by the Secretary of the Interior is the authority The very fact that these hearings being held puts an administrative officials will above law by Con- gress.
 The Secretary is clearly acting outside of the powers given to him by the White Act and is spending quite few thousands of the taxpayers dollars to do it.

QUEBEC CONFERENCE

Intimate advisers with whom the President talked before leaving for Quebec got the definite impression that he planned to have friendly but frank showdown with the Prime Minister regarding certain Far Eastern problems which have ranked in Anglo-American rela- tions Also the President was con- fident that this Quebec conference would have more concrete results than that of one year ago
 At the time of the last Quebec meeting, August, l943, relations with Russia were on tenterhooks. The second front had not yet been pledged to Stalin, there were ru- mors that Russia might even get out of the war, and the Allied pic ture generally was not bright enough to permit the President personally to push certain Anglo American differences too far.
 Nevertheless, the Presidents mili- tary and naval men did a lot of pushing and, as a result, the last Quebec meeting was one of the most vigorous of the entire war. The sparks literally flew around the Citadel
 Now, one year later, almost ex- actly the same problems-the Far East and Burma-remain to be threshed out. And with the war going infinitely better, the inside story of the last Quebec confer ence can now be told.
 With the Prime Minister still not ready to start the second front in Western France, the President told him that the United States could not wait in the Pacific and must forge ahead. Accordingly, the prob lem of recapturing the Burma read, Singapore and the Malays came up for vital discussion.
 To retake any part Of them, the British fleet naturally was neces- sary. It was agreed Chat, after the Mediterranean had been cleaned up, the British fleet could be shifted to Indian waters.
