Three Heights Seizet

Near Adriutic Coust
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, Sept. 19.-Breaking
through formidable Nazi forti-
fications and scoring what was
officially termed a great sue
cess" American 5th Army troops
yesterday captured 3,300-foot
Monte Partone, Monte Altuzzo
and Monte Celli in the Gothic
Line 20 miles northeast of
Florence.
The enemy was driven from these
heights after one of the fiercest
days of fighting in the entire italian
campaign, official field dispatches
said
British and Indian troops under
5th Army command contributed ma
terially to the American success by
executing f1anking movements.
The Germans opposed the attack
with extreme concentrations of ar
tillery fire. In one barrage 1000
shells were fired against the ad-
vancing Americans. The Germans
also made maximum use of mortars
and small arms" headquarters said.
British Enter San Marino.
Meanwhile, British troops of the
9th Army, beating back heavy en-
emy opposition, drove into the little
republic of San Marino near the
Adriatic coast.
San Marino's frontier was crossed
at the town of Faetano. where the
Marano River intersects the border
A bridgehead was established there
and the British advanced one mile
toward the city of San Marino itself
Describing the bitter action for
the mountain positions, an official
report said:
In addition to most determined
resistance by veteran German troops
equipped with small arms and sup
porting weapons, the 5th Army force
had to negotiate rugged mountain
masses. Even the crests were forti-
fled with dug-in positions and con-
crete pillboxes. Emplacements with
tank turret tops also were encoun-
tered"
The entire area was interlaced
with wire entanglements.
~ Miles From Bologna.
The successful attack brought the
Americans within 27 miles of
Bologna, important communications
and industrial center in the Po
Valley. Most of the intervening
terrain, however, is rough and well
fortified.
Embittered fighting without sub
stantial changes in the situation
continued near the Adriatic south
of Rimini. West of San MARITIME.
Canadians advanced to the Ausa
River at a point about 3 airline
miles southwest of Rimini in a
heavy battle with enemy tanks and
infantry.
The latest 9th Army attack
toward Rimini and the major Allied
goal-a break-through into the Po
Valley-was accompanied by one of
the heaviest day and night aerial
offensives ever made on enemy de-
fenses in Italy.

BY the Associated Press,
A joint congressional commit
tee gave its final approval to a
postwar reconversion bill today
after eliminating a Senate pro-
vision to authorize unemploy-
ment compensation for 3,100, 900
Federal employees and back home
travel pay for discharged war
workers.
Chairman George of the Senate
conferees promptly brought the
modified proposal to the floor and
it was passed by voice vote and
sent to the House for final action.
"The House having voted to in
sist upon its disagreement, we were
confronted with two alternatives
to accept the provisions Of the bill
upon which there was agreement,
or have no bill at ALL" Senator
George said in a statement.
The agreement removed one of the
major obstacles to congressional
recess this week end until after the
November elections.
Would Coordinate Activities.
Stripped Of its unemployment and
back home pay provisions, the re-
conversion bill sets up an Office Of
War Mobilization and Reconversion
to coordinate all activities of Fed
eral agencies dealing with these
problems.
1T is believed that such an Office
is vitality necessary to the orderly
reconversion from war to peace"
Senator George said.

'Armistice Is Signed
By Finland With
Soviet and Britain
Moscow Announces Terms
Will Be Disclosed Later;
Neeotiotors Revealed
By the Associated Press.

~ tAS hSSSSiotcS KtSoS.
LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Mos
cow radio announced today that
Finland had signed an armistice
with Russia and Britain.
The first brief announcement
broadcast by the Soviet Informa-
ton ONCE and recorded here by
the Soviet monitor, did not give
the terms. They will be disclosed
later.
The ofncial statement. however,
listed the names Of those partici-
pating in the negotiations, which
were in progress from September
IA until today, when the agreement
was signed.
Britain and Russia signed the
terms as representatives Of the
United Nations.
Terms Reported Approved.
A dispatch from Stockholm said
it was reliably reported there that
the armistice terms were formally
approved by the Finnish Parliament
in an early morning session.
A Finnish news agency dispatch to
Stockholm from Helsinki said the
deputies assembled in a closed meet
ing at 6:15 am, at which time the
government presented "a document. "
Shortly afterward the Parliament
passed to the order of the day
which, under Finnish parliamentary
procedure, constitutes vote of con-
f1dence.
Finnish sources said they expected
the terms would be published Of
ficially later today, the Stockholm
dispatch said.
There still was no reliable advance
picture of the details of the arm
istice, but the Swedish press gen.
orally, on the basis of fragmentary
reports. characterized them as
hard"
Finns' Anxiety Mounts.
The stipulation causing the Firms
most anxiety was said to be a Rus
sian demand for a 50-year lease of
the Porkkala naval base on the
Finnish Gulf. Stockholm reported
that one well-informed Finnish
source said this demand embraced
use of territory stretching inland
from Porkkala to a point only 8
miles from Helsinki.
This same source said Finnish
troops already had begun opera
tions against the Germans in
Northern Finland, but it was un-
known whether actual fighting had
developed. In some areas the Ger
mans were said to be retiring.
The Stockholm newspaper Dagens
Nyheter said last night that the
Finnish troops en- route north were
spurred on by resentment over re-
ports that the Germans were burn
ing farm buildings and villages. A
Berlin broadcast acknowledged there
had been some demolitions, but de-
MED any "wanton burning" of
Finnish property.
