 TRAPPED RHONE VALLEY

Rome, August 28. - (UP) - American tanks and artil- lery, racing more than 50 miles overland into the Rhone valley, closed behind the beaten remnants of the German 18th Army at MOn- telimar today and turned 8 murderous fire on some l5,- 900 Nazis trapped against the east bank of the Rhone.
 With their bridges across the broad Rhone cut by AL lied bombers, the survivors of the 18th Army faced immi- nent death or capture be- tween the converging guns of the main American forces moving up from Ayignon and the enveloping column at Montelimar,, halfway be- tween the Mediterranean coast and Lyon.
 Headquarters spokesnen, who nreyiously had issued an ambiguous iy worded statement indicating that IS 900 Germans were killed, wound- cd or captured in the new AmeF1" can stroke, explained that that ng- ure referred to the number of Ger mans now pinned against the Rhone river.
 The trap was sprung by a strong armored force that swept into Mon telimar after a secret forced march from the Eister0ne Grenoble nigh way more than 50 miles to the east.
 Battered Mad
 The battered Nazis, fleeing up the east bank Of the Rh0ne, raced Mio M0ntelimar to find the Americans ready and waiting.
 Front dlspatches said the startled Germans fell back to the river edge and graeed for death battle against the Americans closing around them. Throughout yester- day, United Press war correspond- ent Dana Adams Schmidt reported, American guns poured deadly fire into the e0rnered enemy.
 American riflelnen and hundreds of waTplanes joined in the slaughter ard casualties among the NaziS were described officially as ''en0rm' 0us."
 Among the already-deeimaied German units brought 10 bay against the river banks were ele' menls of the IIth panzer and lssih
