Poles With 9Th Army
Reach Point Within
10 Miles Of Bologna
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, April 18.-Polish troops Of
the 9Th Army, sweeping up the Pc
Valley, advanced today to within 10
miles Of Bologna, major German
base in Northern Italy.
Fifth Army forces also fought
slowly closer to the big Italian art
and industrial center from the south,
battering their way through enemy
troops entrenched In scores Of
caves, tunnels and pillboxes along
the mountain highway from Flor
ence.
Other 9th Army forces have ad-
vanced beyond Argenta on the ex-
treme right, cutting the Germans
off from this strongpoint in the
Argenta gap, the key to Ferrara and
the Po Valley.
The Germans still were holding
out in Argenta, but they appeared
to be trapped, with Allied troops
astride the railway little more
than mile beyond the town.
The bridgehead over the Marina
Canal, next water barrier to Fer
rara and the Po Valley, was en-
larged and strengthened, with heavy
casualties inflicted on the Germans.
Polish troops who had spearhead-
ed the advance north Of Highway Q
fought their way 2 miles beyond
Castel San Pietro.
Pushing out from captured Medi-
Gina, IA miles northeast of Bologna,
Indian troops reached the Canal di
Medicina, miles to the northeast.
West of Medicina, New Zealand
troops blasted their way 1000 yards
across a maze of water obstacles to
reach the Gaina Canal on a 2-mile
front.
Italian troops miles beyond the
Sillaro River were chasing the Ger
mans from one hill position to the
next. They had captured 1000 pris-
oners in the last "a hours.
Mount Rumici, 1,900-foot peak
which opposing armies have fought
over for months, fell to 5th Army
troops. 1t is about 5000 yards west
of highway IS.
The American 10th Mountain Di-
vision pushed of from Mount Mos
coso and advanced more than 1000
yards over difficult terrain thickly
studded with German defense po-

A Job To Be Done ys'';:;; 4s ;: c,s'ss; si;s;'
An Appeal to Those Who Want Sincerely to

Commissioner John Russell Young
last night issued two appeals-one to
all citizens who have not yet done
so to contribute their spare clothing
to the United National Clothing Col
lection, and the other for volunteers
to help sort the hundreds of thou
sands of pounds of clothing already
contributed.
Tomorrow the trucks will begin
their final pick-ups from clothing
depots scattered throughout the city
and a large number of volunteers
men and women-will be needed to
help sort and pack the clothing.
While urging those who have not
contributed to take their spare
clothing to the nearest depot tomor-
row, Commissioner Young pointed
out that the central collection ware
house at 469 c street NV. will be
open for two more weeks. All who
have not left their clothing contri-
buttons at depots can bring them to
the central warehouse.
For those who cannot get to
depot or the warehouse, volunteer
motor corps has been organized.
Private automobiles will be used for
individual pickups where necessary
so that all can make their con-
tr1oution to ease the suffering of
our Allies.

Fat Sells at 5OCents, No Points,
In Thriving NE. Black Market

At New Center Market everything
appeared to be open and above
board, but there wasn't much meat
unless you class beef lungs, pork
backs and bacon rinds as meat.
One stand was going lively busi-
ness in the pork backs, long strips
of mostly bone and fat and little
meat. The price was IA cents
pound and no points. Customers
were buying them at four and five
pounds an order.
A butcher behind the counter
said they required no points. A
check with the OPA, however, dis
closed that such pork cuts require
seven points, although the agency
admitted that particular cut was
not specifically listed on meat charts.
Another stand reported it hae
sold a barrel of beef lungs, an ugly
mass of red stuff usually used for
dog food, in an hour and a half
yesterday. This stand also "fea-
tured" thin slabs of bacon rinds,
good. at most, for seasoning. The
price was 81 cents a pound.
Evening star., 1945-04-29

I Uncured pork fat, with only a
trace Of meat, was selling for so
cents pound without ration points
at country meat stand in the
Northeast Market yesterday, and
persons were lining up apparently
without a thought that they might
be dealing in the black market.
Such meat, according to the OPA,
should sell for no more than "a
cents a pound, plus red points.
A Star reporter watched two sales,
obviously at the tag end of the op-
orators supply.
of the meat which showed pounds
on a scale. She handed over $3.50
without protest. The reporter saw
no transfer of red tokens or stamps.
The next sale to woman GUS
toner was for AZ pounds. The price
was $2.25. Again no points nor com
plaint.
Customers Quite Satisfied.
The customers went away as
though they purchased a choice
beef steak.
At another stand In the same
market, which is located at Fifth
street and Florida avenue NE, a
line was forming along side meat
counter with the head of the line at
the door Of small wooden shack
back of the counter. The reporter
asked woman what was being sold.
II don't know, but want to find
out" she said.
The reporter was only partially
successful, thanks to the swift move
ments of the farmer merchant and
the fact the shack's windowpane was
dirty.
The customer at the head of the
line spoke in a low tone to the
operator. He then went to a wooden
box behind the counter, taking with
him some wrapping paper. The
meat came out Of the box concealed
in the paper. The merchant moved
into his shack where he began cut
ting and saving the meat. Through
the window it looked like a scrawny
piece of smoked ham.
All Done in Whispers.
The reporter failed to catch the
price agreed ONT was all done in
whispers-but he observed no trans
fer of points. The OPA says shank
end hams cost five red points
pound. Each sale was rung up on
. small cash register as no sale"
The reporter must have resembled
an OPA agent because after two
sales the operator, looking appre-
hensively In his direction, decided
to put the latch temporarily on his
shack. That didn't discourage the
people In line. They remained.
