Laurel, Mont, and his AAF B-26
Marauder group in the Mediterran-
can theatre have been cited by Gen

achievement during April, May and

port of the French forces.
AS President of the French gov
eminent and chief of the French
army, General DeGaulle awarded the

cision attacks in the face of enemy
opposition to flight discipline, skill
of combat crews, and superior tech
nique of command.
Colonel Eugene B. Fletcher, the
group commander from San Diego,
Calf, said, "The success of our air
crews during that three months
period was a direct result of fine
work, and hard work, by the main
tenance and administrative sections.
AS always, the ground personnel
a vital part in combat oper-
.ations."

group flew 200 sorties and dropped
over 5000 tons of bombs for a loss
of only six planes. Sergeant Tufte

 While the British Eighth Army troops had not yet crossed the Arno river, which cuts the city in half, Allied military government officers moved into the northern sector and began admins tering relief to the civilian population.
 For the last two nights, a special communique an- nounced today, the Germans have been withdrawing their main forces from Florence to a new line north of Mug none Canal, which runs through the northern out skirts of the city.
 Front dispatches reported that enemy snipers, however, still were active in the city's northern section.
 Florence. with a pre-war popula- ton of approximately 250!O00. vas reported in recent dispatches to have had some 10000 civilians still within its gates when the British drove the Germans back of the Airo and began jockeying for positions to take the city without res0rting tc artillery fire which would damage its priceless art treasurers.
 There was no immediate indiea- ton that the Germans intended making a-laTge-seale withdrawal farther nogthward to the heavily fortified Gothic line spanning the peninsula from the Tyrrhenian sea
