on powerfully toward Florence also to Ancona and Leghorn, the latter place looking like falling soon. Polish and Italian troops are within 2 to 3 miles from Ancona. Our spearheads have advanced 13 miles beyond Arezzo West on the road to Florence. The Russians made fine progress between Grodno and Kaunas although they have to meet with stiffer resistance. The Germans still report fighting in the South. In Central Burma the Japanese retreating from Ukhrul are suffering on account of hunger and rain. More progress is being made south of Imphal. In the South West Pacific the Japanese are still trying to get out of the trap near Wewak. The Japanese people were today told of the loss of Saipan. 33 more British prisoners of war were shot by the Germans in addition to the 50 airmen. A strongest protest will be made through the protective power. A number of young men will be transferred to the army of other services as we have sufficient aircrew notwithstanding our air force is still expanding. Many airmen have already been transferred. A High Court judgement was given today in the case of the Bethnal Green shelter disaster. The condition of the steps was said to be dangerous. The Education Bill got its 3rd reading in the Lords. The Commons were asked a take of credit for £ 1000.000.000.-.-. Unconditional surrender means the victors have a free hand. There will be not secret session to discuss flying bombs. More slaters and tilers are needed in London to repair damage.
