Moscow Parley In Full Swing

By EDDY GILMORE

Associated Prosa Staff Writer MOSCOW. Oct. lo-—<AP>-For- eiun secretaries of the United States. Britain and Soviet Russia sat down around a conference tabla today in the opening formal session of the lung-awaited three-power conference to tell one another. as a spokesman phrased it tonight. "frankly and froely what's on one anothers mind."

A‘ a Foreign Secretary Eden of Brita-in. Cordell Hull. United States Secretary of State and Sov- iet Fbreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov held informal preliminary discussions last night soon after the arrival of the visiting officials. today's sessions marked the first transactions of real business.

Ea y in the day Eden went L’) Spasso House. official msldence of the United States ambassador. where Hull is staying. and talked with the Secretary of State. Later Molotov returned Hull's call of last night. Then the three got down to work at 6 PM.

An American spokesman said

Hull had no agenda prepared in advance of his coming to Moscow and that topics would form as the discussions went forward. Much of the important ground- work wlil be laid here ior future important conversations among United Nations leaders which will be far-leaching in scope.

(Prime Minister Churchill has said that it is hoped a Churchill- Roouevelt-Stalin meeting can be held before the end of the vear.) The Huli-Eden-Molotov confer- ence ls not expected to run into anv permanent snags despite the fact that vitailv important matters will come up for discussion for the first time As a groundwork con- ference it is expected that. it will set- tle numerous matters before other leaders meet.

The first statements made bv Hull and Eden upon their rrival were printed on the front no es of Moscow newspapers today. althouoh none of the papers commented edit- orially on the conference.

Badly Mauled

erman Army Falls Back

ALLIED HEADQUAR- TERS, Oct. 19-—(AP) -— Badly mauled in six days of heavy attacks by Bri- tish a n d American troops, the German army guarding the gateways to Rome fell back on new mountain positions today under fresh on- slaughts by the 5th army after surrendering eight more Italian towns and villages.

The enemy, shorn of air support, fled from his last positions overlook- ing the lower Volturno River when American forces ripped a yawning breach in Nazi defences 30 miles inland from the Mediterranean coast, where the Volturno swings in a northwest- ‘erly direction.

The bloody and furiously fought battle of the volturno, as such, en- ded when these troops rammed their way from three to five miles through the Germans’ strong moun- tain defences to seize five towns in thrusts on either side of the upper Voiturno. These villages, taken in bitter, hard won infantry advances, were Glola, Llberin Fsicchio, Pon- telatono and Alvignno.

"These gains on the mountain heights are where they count," said an Allied military SPOKQEIIIBTI. "If the mountains are taken the Germans will be forced l0 abandon the lowlands along the coast."

Th the enemy was already feellnz this pressure wss indicat-

in an announcement that Brit- ish amphibious forces which lan- ded near the mouth of the Voltur- no River last week had captured the town of Bressa, near the coast Just north of the River.

Bth Army Gnlns

The end of the Voltumo butt]; coincided with fresh gains by Gen, Sir Bernard Montgomery's British 3'31 Army on the central and Ad- riatic sectors of the fighting line and the first heavy blow by Italy

based American bombers and figh- ters at the key Yugoslav commun- ication centre of Skoplle. on the onlv rail line between Belgrade and Athens.

Some of the day's hardest fight- ing developed in the 0th Army's capture of Santo Stefano after a four mile advance. The Germans counter ~ attacked furiously time M"! 080111. but were repelled by Montgomery's veteran British. Can- adian and Indian troops. Possess. mn of Monteeilfone. near the Ad. rlatlc most. was secured after a day of hard street fighting.
