Sador, and Ambassador Andrei A.

Hull together. Ambassador Wei

to visit him later in the day.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Ma
Piles, May 30.-Fifth Army in
fantry and tanks, after repulsing
strong overnight counterattacks
struck again today at German
defenses within 16 miles OF
Rome.
The Germans offered savage re-
sistance on their last natural de-
fenSe line south of the capital, but
headquarters said progress contin-
ued satisfactory" On the Allied
right, the 9th Army began a drive
up the Sacco Valley astride the Via

Allies Shell Lanuvio.
German counterattacks tempo
rarily held off American infantry on
the rolling meadows below the hill
top town of Lanuvio. a pivot of the
German Rome line. Artillery
shelled the town steadily.
Armored spearneads consolidated
gains west of the severed Anzio-
Albano road. Major German re-
sistance was contacted in this Sec
tor, however. Hastily sown mine
fields, crude Notifications and heavy
tanks were encountered, but no big
tank battle has developed.
German artillery fire was heavy
on forward American elements, but
the enemy was being outshelled by
a high ratio.
Units of the Hermann Goering
Division, once destined to become
an air-borne armored force, were re-
ported communicating the Amer
ican salient around Artena last
night, close to Highway s, but were
driven back with considerable losses.
The German counterattacks
around Artena, miles south of
Valmontone. appeared directed at
saving Valmontone, which lies on
the Via Casilina at the intersection
OF lateral road to Lanuvio. Amer
ican artillery was reported shelling
the Via Casilina, denying the
Germans its full use.

As the 9th Army drove up the
