 Taxi Business
 It. O.g0 John A. Burns, Wynne- wood, Pa, pilot of a Kingfisher plane aiding in the operations, had started out spotting Japanese po- sitions and wound up running an ocean taxi business. At one time he had nine men aboard the plane built for two.
 Burns and another pilot, It. John John J. Dowdle, Jr. of Willamette Ill, had spotted Kanze's raft and landed on the water to make the rescue. However. his plane capsizec in the wind. leaving Dowdle. hi radioman, Robert E. Hill. ARM 2-c of Houston, Tex, ard Eanze !a t.s< water.

 The Allies first entered the out skirts of Casino Feb. 2 and. in an attempt to clear out the enemy, the American 36th division threw a bridgehead across the Rapido River to the southwest. The Americans came under whitening cross fire from German artillery. however. and were thrown back across the river with considerable losses.
 Another attempt to capture Cas- sino was launched Feb. IS, when more than 1000 planes and scores of guns wrecked the Montecassino monastery overlooking the town on grounds that it was being used by the Germans.
 Following up the bombardment, American troops battled their way to within 100 yards of the crest of Abbey Hill, but again were driven back.
 The third assault on Casino beach began March IS with 2,000-plane bombardment that left the town in ruins. The Germans retired to their tunnels and caves, then swarmed out when American and New Zea- land forces attempted to attack over the rubble. A week-long battle end- ed with the Allies holding about a half to three-quarters of the town and the Germans, the remainder.
 British and Indian troops of the Eighth Army finally sealed the doom of Casino by forcing the Rapido river at the start of the all-out offensive against the Gustav lire last Thursday night and gradually outfianking the town from the southwest against bitter resistance.

EARLY SPINACH
 ON THE MARKET
War Food Office Reports Waterbury Stores We'll
 Supplied

The War Food Administration, announces that the local markets are supplied with an abundance of early spinach-enough spinach this spring to supply everybody who wants it. Leafy green spinach has plenty of the minerals we need to keep them that way. A food like spinach is very important now, when most people are doing much more physical work than they ever did before. It is also priced very reasonably.
 Vitamin- mineral rich spinach is included in the green and yellow vegetable group of the "basic q" food groups from which we should eat something every day. The green CT the color of the vegetable the richer in vitamin A. This vitanirl A can be stored in the body so its Q good time for us to add to our vitamin bank. Spinach is especially good served as banned spinach, cream of spinach soup or spinach omelet and can be served in many other ways.

 The meeting originally had been scheduled for next week, the dis patch said. Rommel was said to have been called from the Normandy coast opposite southern England.
 "The Germans appear to believe these are the very last days before the great landings occur" the Daily Mail said.
 The Berlin radio. in a broadcast recorded by the London News Chronicle, said Rommel had warned that the invasion may begin momen- tarily.
 German forces on the north coasts of Europe are ready for the descent of massed Allied parachut- ists and for sea invasion" the Berlin announcer added
 A Stockholm dispatch to the News Chronicle said the Germans, fore seeing an Allied attempt to seize Denmark, had created a special ''anti-invasion command area" in northern Germany. Considerable numbers of extra troops and SUD- plies for infantry and aircraft were said to have been sent to Stettin, Danzig. Konigsberg and other areas along the Baltic coast, as well as in- land.
 The German military critic, von Wulknitz, told the Stockholm news paper Svenska Dagbladet that the Allies have sufficient shipping to Hand anywhere, while Nazi com- mentator Jean Paquis broadcast over the Paris radio that the Allies have concentrated a whole armada" of transports. merchantmen, fishing boats, invasion barges. torpedo boats and destroyers in the harbors of southern England. especially in the Bristol area.
 British and American invasion troops have been massed at theil authorization points for eight days and all evidence indicates that the invasion will be launched "soonel than some people expect" Paqui! said. He estimated that the Allied forces include 80,o00 paratroops.

Eighth Army Closes Lid
(continued from Page D

German parachute division has been destroyed in its efforts to escape. Both armies contributed to this triumph.
 "The Gustav line south of the Ap- pennines has now ceased to exist" |"
 For two days it had been evident that the German position at Cas- sino was becoming untenable and that the Nazis were arranging to withdraw.
 If the Eighth army had elected to make a frontal attack on Casino, the Germans could have inflicted heavy casualties and then with drawn in orderly fashion.
 Instead It. Gen. Sir Oliver Leese chose the outflanking and squeeze maneuver in bid to trap the Ger man defenders. The turning move ment south of Casino cut the Via CaSilina and "the German com- mand once again has been too slow in effecting a withdrawal from strategic position" a spokesman said.
 However, the headquarters of the first German parachute division was not captured. Artillery a con- siderable distance to the rear when the battle started also remained in enemy hands.
 4,5O0 Prisoners
 German prisoners. of whom 4,500 have been captured in the first six days of the offensive, said the Hit Ter line had been under construc- tion for the past three months by workers of the Todt organization. which also built the Sigfried line and the Atlantic wall. Aerial re- connaissance photographs showed that 70 piilboxes and minor con- crete works had been built in the stretch across the Liri Valley alone,
 Despite the speed of the French advance, the Germans were resist ing fierceiy and threw the 200th Panzer Granadier regiment and the 90th Panzer division into the futile defense of Espelfa.
 French artillery already was shell ling the Itri-Pico highway, main lateral supply road for the Hitler line and some six miles beyond newly-captured Mt. Martino.
 American forces on the left flank of the French scored the days big gest advance-IIaore than l-2 miles-in capturing Mt. Rnazzo, 6hs miles west of Spigno and also. thrust to within striking distance of FOrmia, coastal anchor of the Hit- Ter line, with the occupation of Mt. campese, ih miles to the north- east.
 Maranola. two miles northeast of form and Triyi0. three quarters Of a mile to the west, likewise fell to the Americans.
 The German DINE Agency, in &C., knowledging the abandonment Of Casino. northern hinge of the crumbled Gustav lire, said their forces withdrew without interfer. ence from the enemy, since British and American troops refrained from making any direct attack on the German positions iF view Of their severe setback two months ago"
