ROME, April 23— <JP) —United
States Fifth Army troops spear
ing thirty-five miles beyond Bo
| logna have reached nearly to the
Po river and have battled to kith
in 220 to 240 miles of the French
and American forces hitting
southward in Germany The swift
lunge across the Po plain littered
by wreckage of seventeen hun
dred Nazi vehicles destroyed or
, damaged by Allied plains yester
j * * " • • «
• alone carried them thirty
, five miles north and northwest of
fallen Bologna Allied headquar
ters said but didn’t specify the
points reached, but they may ac
(tually have charged to the Po.
I It is doubtful where the line of
the new German stand will be,
! possibly where the Po curves to
within thirty miles due north of
Bologna.
The broadcast heard by CBS
! said the Fifth Army is only five
miles from the Po. The British
Eighth Army forces besieged Fer
rara, three and one-half miies
i from the Po, thirty miles north
east of Bologna from positions as
close as one and one-half miles
j away. The Fifth Army now is only
: two hundred and twenty airline
miles across the forbidding Alps
in the eastern end of Switzerland
from French troops at the west
shore of Lake Constance and two
hundred and thirty miles from
the United States Seventh Army
across the Danube striking toward
Munich and Brenner Pass which
! lie one hundred and forty odd
miles ahead.
