Reed, federal meteorologist, said the flood waters would continue to spread in some sections of the Des Molnes river valley, extending from Des Molnes to the southeast corner of the state, all week and that the river probably would reach the highest level in 41 years and the second highest on record. Chelsea, a town of S75 residents between Toledo and Belle Plane, was isolated.

The water was rising south of Belle Flaine and was expected to entor the city Monday. At Tama, few miles west, the water almost reached the buslnens district before It began receding, A large section of the Indian reservation there was under water. The rampaging Raccoon river forced about a dozen residents of West Des Molnes and Commerce, southwest of Des Moines, to leave their homos, In which water stood three to four feet deep.

Nor was there any sign of an enemy stand to prevent a junction of the pursuers with Anzio beachhead troops, Puncture Hitler Line, Inland, the vaunted defenses of the remaining section of the Adolf Hitler line were punctured at several points, allied troops cutting the Pontocorvo-Picci road, carpturing Morite Leuclo, and punching In to the outskirts of Pontecorvo. From Monte Leuclo, taken by French infantry and American tanks, the allies commanded the Liri valley floor west of Pontecorvo and dominated positions to the east, where the Germans still were fightnig off British and Canadian 8th army forces.

Street fighting raged Sunday in the town of Piodlmonte on the north side of the Liri valley aftor Polish Infantry and tanks, supported by the British from the south, had virtually encircled the town the preceding day. Piedimonte formed one of the Hitler lire's most vital bastions. An official report said that enemy troops in the town were surprised by the swift encirclement and many wore taken prisoner. Resistance was fading in face of the 5th army's unrelenting blows at the southern flank of the Liri valley defenses, and a headquarters staff officer said the enemy was abandoning positions within the Hitler line to escape annihilation. The total of the prisoners taken since the offensive was launched has now gone well beyond 6,000 and the number increased hourly as mopping up continued in the newly-conquered areas and defenses fell one by one.

Germans Shllt Forces, The German high command was reported shifting fresh troops a Italy from the Adriatic sector, at the same time swinging other units from the south to bolster resistance In the Pico area, where a continued allied thrust northward would threaten tt envelop and destroy the bulk of the forces in the whole Pontecovro-Aqulno zone of tho Hitler line. These Germcn reinforcements were Joining the futile counterattacks in tho Pico area along the lower edge of the Liri valley. Tho Americans in the coastal sector, in addition to reaching Tcrracina, were reported af both the town and mountain named Monte San Biaglo, a mile off the Applan way and five miles west of Fondi, in the mountain mass where the enemy originally was expected to try to establish the southern hinge of a new defense lino. At Terrnclna, which represents a gain of as much as 25 miles from some of the jumping-off places of tho offensive, the 5th army was less than 60 airline miles from Rome and more than half way along the road to the eternal city from Naples, The advancing Americans also seized Monte Passignano, a mile north of Fondi, as well as Monte Casa Reccio, three miles northwest of the same town. JViitural Defenses Beyond, In the Liri valley, which affords the most direct route to Rome by way of Route 6 (Via Caailana) the enemy's defensive outlook was somewhat better.

A headquarters spokesman declared that "when the enemy has been driven out of the Adolf Hitler line there are a number of natural defensive positions between Pontccorva Vnlmontone (45 miles northwest of highway 6) on which they enemy may attempt to stabilize his position and obstruct our further advance. Bad weather in the target areas caused cancellation 'of heavy bomber flights from Italian bases, but medium and light fighter bombers blasted communications behind the enemy linos and RAF Wellingtons early Monday bombed tho harbors of Ortoferraio and Piombino, terminals of the Elba- mainland ferry.

Stilwell Scores Major Victory Complttt Ocupation of Myitkyina Ntar SOUTHEAST ASIA A QUARTERS, Kandy, Ceylon, J-Allied forces were reported moving rapidly Monday toward the first major strategy victory of Lt.

Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell's north Burma dffenalve--capture of the encircled Japanese stronghold of Myitkyina. A communique Sunday said Stll- well's troops already had occupied a third of the town in heavy street fighting and American airmen were said to have sunk boatloads of Japanese attempting to flee across the krawaddy river from their besieged base. The communique declared the main enemy forces at Kamalng to the northwest meanwhile had been blocked by other Stilwell columns.

The plight of the veteran Japanese ISth division and other heavy forces was summed up officially follows: "Kamalng, the principal enemy base in the Mogaung valley, where his main forces are believed concentrated, is now blocked from the south by British long-range penetration forces; on the railway, by combined Chinese and American forces at Myitkyina (to the southeast), and by the main Chinese forces of Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell's command, pushing down the Mogaung valley (from tl.e north)." No Effort to Reinforce There was no indication of any Japanese effort to reinforce enemy forces anywhere in the Burma- India theater, but air-borne allied troops continued to land at captured Myitkyina airport to swell Stilwell's besiegers. Allied dive-bombers hit the enemy virtually at will and kept a constant watch over the one remaining escape route of the Myitkyina garrison the road southward to Bhamo.

Headquarters said the isolation of the Japanese in the city was compeleMd by Chinese patrols sweeping across the Irrawaddy to the south and rear elements joining forces and cutting railway and motor roada to Mogaung to the northwest. The communique said the Japanese Invaders of India were attacking strongly along the Tiddlm road south of Imphal but allied -bombs swept a landslide across their main communication road, An allied column pushed the enemy slowly back north of Imphal, An order of the day to Stilwell by Admiral Lord Louis Mountbat- ten, allied commander-in-chief for southeast Asia, disclosed the American general had assumed leadership of the "Chindit" troops which first landed southeast of Myitkyina in an air-borne invasion of northern Burma. The "Chlndts" first were under Maj. Gen. Orde G.

Wingate until he was killed March 24 in a plane crash, and then were commanded by Maj. Gen. D. A. Lentalgne, who now becomes Stil- woll's subordinate.

Japanese Suffer Heavy Losses in New Guinea ADVANCED ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, New Guinea, WP)-Japanese casualties In the month- old American invasion of northern Guinea stood at 3,829 Monday nearly 1,000 a week, on the average--as tho Yanks counted enemy bodies at conquered Wakde and on tho mainland nearby where three counter-attacks were bloodily repulsed. Of the total enemy casualties, 3,343 Japanese were killed. This meant 76 Japanese killed for every American in the overall northern New Guinea operation which began with the April 22 landings at Hollandia and Aitape. American 6th army troops who annihilated every Japanese on the Wakde islands, 110 miles northwest of Hollandia, have counted 676 enemy dead, "with others not yet reported," Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced in his Mpnday communique.

The Americans pressed against stubborn mortar, machlncgun and rifle fire from their Tor river beachhead on the mainland. Three enemy counter punches Friday and Saturday were turned back, with 111 Japanese dead. The Americans had the support of strafing fighter planes. From the Hollandia and Aitape areas came official word of 436 more Japanese killed and 45 captured in widespread patrol actions the last week or so. This brought the total enemy casualties there to 3,042 dead and captured.

The last recapitulation of American casualties in the Hollandla- Aitape sector said 28 Americans had been killed and 96 wounded. In the Wadke area invasion which began Wednesday, 18 Americans have been reported, killed and 83 wounded. Heavy allied bombers, despite bad weather, pounded two airdromes on Biak island the Scrouten group, 280 miles northwest of Hollandia, with 97 tons of bombs on Friday and the next day Boston attack planes gave the area a thorough bombing and strafing. Late accounts brought to five the number of coastal vessels sunk in Friday's assault on Japanese shipping at Manokwari by American attack planes.

The decisive battle of the European war) Berlin declares, will have to be fought on the German wort wall defenMs of the invasion and "the real attack must come from the supply base and aircraft carrier, England." This aaiertion made with a worried weather eye on the up- and-dolng allied offensive In Italy.

There the nacii are In a natty jam, with.both of their loudly Adolf Hitler line In danger of being turned--on the left wing by the French and on the right by the Americana. The German appraisal of the general ilturitlon--made with the Idea of reaaiurlng a jittery home public isn't exactly accurate, since Hitler will be cruihed by concerted allied action from west, south and cut. However, It'i true in the sente that we can't put the Dig iqueece on the fuehrer until hli formidable along the invasion coast have been and have established aihore a great army headed for Berlin, no question of Hit ability of the weatem to net up a- aeoond front, and even the admit that thin can be done. 8UII, while we refine to conilder the possibility of failure In an operation, It muit be Mid bypoflieUcally that If there were no invailon of western Europe the war would drag on Interminably no matter how much striking power the BuMlana might apply on the eautem front. equally true, of course, that an Invasion by the western would be long in knocking out the If the red weren't hammering the enemy on the eastern front, There mutt be preMure on both Berlin right In saying that England Is the logical baie and 'aircraft carrier" for Invajlon.

by far the nearest of all feailble bases for the direct Invasion route Into western Europe. why the allies are preparing to hit straight into the toughen there are. We shouldn't make the mUtake of trying to gauge the Invasion or western Europe by the on the Italian peninsula, While the Guitav Unit, the Adolf Hitler line, and the various other German defenses in Italy have been plenty tough, they haven't shown the strength which may be expected in the west wall In France, according to accounts made public by the allied high command the other day. AUo we muitn't forget that the greatest danger to the on D-day will lie In battling their way aihore from the sea. The Invasion will provide a brand new type of hell for military hlitory.
