inland and fresh troops and sup
plies arrive
North of Ca sino American
forces, despite terrific German op-
position and obstacles such as d.
version of the course of the Rapi-
do River, have pushed ahead to
points more westerly than Casino
itself, which now has Allied troops
on three sides of it. American in
fantry and tanks yesterday fought
their way into the villages of Cairo
and Monte Villa, two miles and
one mile north Of Casino, respec-
lively.
1.-THE American attack broke
through German defenses in the
area north of Casino, known as
the Facciano mountains, catching
the Germans by surprise" an Al
lied spokesman said. "A 75-milli-
meter gun with its crew of Is was
taken intact along with a prisoner
bag of A."
The Gustav Line is a thick one,
however, and there was yet no
indication it had been penetrated
sufficiently to permit it to be rolled
up from the inside. Behind it the
Nazis have still another formid-
able obstacle in the Adolf Hitler
Line.
The Allies coupled their land ad.
vances with a smashing air vic
tory over the weekend which
thwarted German plans to draw
bombers from other parts of ELL
rope and concentrate them on
fields north of Venice for attacks
on the Rome bridgehead area and
the huge Allied invasion fleet.
American Flying Fortresses and
Liberators destroyed many enemy

FDR'S VOTE VIEWS

though saying he would support the
Green-Lucas bill, had previously
spoken out against the Presidents
action in stepping into the con-
troversy. Said Gillett:
Neither as President nor as
commander-in-chief nor as an in
terested citizen has the chief exc
cutive the right to enter into the
arguments on the floor of Con-
gress when the members of Con-
gress are exercising the purely
legislative functions with which
they have been clothed by the con.
stitutional provision comforting
upon them all legislative power"
Senate leaders called the body
into session an hour earlier than
usual in an effort to get final ac-
ton on the measure today, but as
the speech-making went on and on
some estimated it would be We'd
nesday at the earliest before final
Senate disposition of the bill.
The Green-Lucas measure would
create a Federal Ballot Commits
sion to distribute and collect a uni
form ballot among service person
mel for votes on President, vice
president and members of Con-
gress.
The State ballot bill already ap-
proved by the Senate would leave
to the States the whole question
of voting by service personnel but
would direct the Army and Navy
to aid in distributing and collect,
ing state ballots.
While much of the Senate debate
revolved about the President'S
message, the question Of votes by
Negro soldiers continued to fig
ure prominently.
Senator Eastland 3D. Miss.) told
the Senate Mississippi people and
soldiers will fight together ''to see
the integrity of Their social institu-
lions unimpared, for the right to
count and validate our own ballots
and to protect and preserve White
Supremacy throughout eternity"
Eastland supported an amend
ment by Senator Overton D.-La. }
to provide that soldier votes be
counted ''in accordance with State
laws under the Green-Lucas Fed
eral ballot bill.
If a uniform federal ballot is
putt in the hands of every Ameri
can soldier, he commended, cleo.
ton officials at home will "arbi.
trarily refuse" to count many
votes.

a big fleet to contest the bridge
head.
Destruction of So Nazi planes
brought the total bag in the past
four days to 153 against a loss of
10 Allied craft in this theater. Thir-
ty-six fell yesterday 4. to Thunder
bolts, which were fighting their
