The two soloists of last nights
program at the Water Gate, Luz
cille Manners, soprano, and Eva
lyn Tyner. pianist, provided the
kind of entertainment for which
the patrons of the summer con-
certs have been waiting. The gift-
ed young artists, good to look at
as well as to hear. had many ad-
mirers in the large crowd that made
one Of the record attendances Of
the season. Antal Dorati, who
during his tenure as conductor of
the Water Gate Symphony Orches-
ira has presented several novelties,
balanced his selections between the
old and the new, sharing with the
soloists in the generous reception
the entire program received.
Under the designation of go
prano," Miss Manners disclosed a
voice of such rich substance that
it might belong to the mezzo or
even the alto class. Her singing
of the 'Habanera," from Carmen u
as encore was as satisfying in vocal
quality as the aria, III est doux, ii
set bon," from Massenet's "Herod-
iade." If the open fullness of the
lower range is not quite matched
in the upper 1t is nevertheless a
voice of unusual timbre and ex-
pressiveness. She possesses fine
legato which gave distinction to her
singing of the "Barcarolle," from
Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman,, !"
and to Malottes Lords Prayer"
These. with Rachmaninoff' I'm the
Silence of the Night" comprised
her program but the popular radio
star had to satisfy her fans by
giving two encores, the "Habanera
and Villa" from THE Merry
Widow"
The brilliant pianism of Miss
Tyner reused the greatest enthu-
siasm both after her performance
of Addinsells Warsaw Concerto"
with orchestra and her own spe-
cialties that followed as a matter
of course. The movie genesis of the
concerto makes it a familiar num-
ber, in which a constantly recurring
theme is generously divided be-
tween the piano and orchestra.
The dashing style of Miss Tyners
playing lifted it from its banality
into work of art In fact, Miss

| ROME, July 10.-Overcoming
dogged enemy resistance, Amer
lean infantrymen who yesterday
captured the German stronghold
OF Volterra, have knitted forward
another 4 miles and driven q
significant wedge in the German
defenses fronting the so-called
Gothic Line, Allied headquarters
announced today.
The action of the doughboys In
driving the Nazis from Volterra was
described officially as a setback to
the enemy's intention of imposing
the maximum delay on the 5th
Army's drive toward the Arno River
on whose banks lie the cities OF
Florence and Pisa.
Progress, however. remained slow
along the entire Italian front as the
Germans continued to mass guns
and troops to fight desperately from
every vantage point.
Advance Toward Leghorn.
| On the west coast, an Allied
spokesman said, American troops
made an advance of unspecified dis
tance toward Livorno neghorn) de-
spite heavy enemy fire of all kinds
and widespread demolition. The
troops in that sector were last re-
ported only 10 miles from the big
port.
Another American force moved ur
to attack Pomaja, 8 miles inland and
IA miles southwest of Livorno. This
village is astride the important
north-south highway. Lajatico, 2l
miles east of Livorno, was threat
ened by another thrust.
! In brisk battle north of Rosigna-
no. the Americans took 30 prisoners
Northwest of Castellina they killed
20 and captured % in close-quarter
| fighting.
Eight Divisions Identified.
Elements of eight German divi-
sions have been identified in the line
facing the 5th Army. Among them
are the 36th SIS Regiment and the
9Th Panzer Grenadier Regiment.
Supported by 20 tanks, the Ger
mans launched a strong counter
attack against the French in the
vicinity OF RAMA. 8i2 miles east o1
Volterra, and heavy fighting ragec
in that section.
No important gains were reported
by 9th Army troops threatening the
vital communications center oil
Arezzo. where the Germans have
been digging in for a prolonged
battle. The Nazis are counterat-
tacklng fercely in that area. but
the British announced they had re-
stored all positions overrun ir
these thrusts.
Counterattacks Repulsed.
Farther east in the Apennines
the 9th Army captured Pietralunga
and repulsed two strong night
counterattacks. In the Upper Tiber
Valley, gain of, 5 miles was re-
corded as the British mopped up
Montone and Carpini and pushed
on about 8 miles northeast of Um-
bertide.
/ Close quarter bayonet fighting re-
suited from a German attempt to
dislodge the British from newly
won hill positions west of Carpini.
Eighth Army patrols in the Ad-
riatic sector surprised a German
position and captured so prisoners
near Filottrano. Limited gains were
reported in heavy fighting which
carried up to the line of the Musome
River.

close the railway, a communiuue
from 1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell's s
headquarters said today. The flyers
also attacked japanese supply lines
in Human Province and blasted the
French Indo-China coastline.
Chinese troops now are attacking
the Japanese stronghold of Teng-
chung, in Western Yunnan Prov
ince, from all sides and have fought
their way to the city wall on the
northeast.
Fall of the city would help to link
Chinese forces with Gen. Stilweus

vance elements of the two forces
were last reported about 26 miles
