STEPPED UP
4 ALLIED AIR OFFENSIVE IN ITALY AND BALKANS. EIGHTH ARMY ADVANCES SEVERAL MILES. LONDON, October 21. The Allied air offensive in the Mediterranean was stepped up yesterday with attacks on the enemy’s supply lines, shipping and the important railway town of Nish in Yugoslavia. The results are described as good. Airfields near Rome were the main targets. Further north main railway bridges between Rome, Florence, Leghorn and Genoa were attacked. Hits were observed on a bridge six miles north of Rome. On land, both sides are testing each other’s strength. British patrols are probing the new positions taken up by the Germans. The Eighth Army has advanced several miles in the Central Apennines. The Fifth Army has also gained some ground. The Bari radio says that Count Carlo Sforza, leader of the Free Italian Movement in the United States, has arrived in Italy.
