SALERNO, Italy, Oct. 11.—Allied invasion transports poursd-fremen= dous quantities #f the newest type Arherican guns and munitions onto the Salerno docks today in evident preparation for the new offensive beyond the Volturno river to Rome. I have never seen such a colossal concentration of mobile strength on one highway, even during Monts gomery’s drive across North Africa,

Salerno to Naples. - The amount of allied shipping, dwarfing the early days of the invasion, which is coming and going freely from this port emphasises

sea and air. Trafic Is Heavy

It took hours to tarvel the 30 miles from Naples to Salerno because of the heavy north-bound traffic, ranging from jeeps to multi= wheeled trucks towing huge field guns, and entire mobile hospitals with American Red Cross nurses perched precariously atop their kits. American MP's and Brtiish redcaps were keeping this equipment

row-soaking rain which has prevailed for the last 48 hours. Italian girls, walking hand in hand with Italian soldiers through the downpour, waved and smiled at the convoys, even though their hair was matted with rain, and their dresses were muddied as pass< ing Lrusks splashed through potHoles,

Indianapolis will honor the exploits of a great Italian tomorrow at a time when the Italian -people are fighting for their homeland. Columbus day, the anniversary of America's discovery, will be celebrated here by the Knights of’ Co-lumbus-on- the final day of a three= day observance. J. Emmett McManamon, deputy grand knight, will broadcast a talk at the 6 o'clock dinner over station WISH. The fourth degree dinner will be held at 6 p. m, today in the hall under the direction of William Greener. First, second and third degree members were inducted in ceremonies yesterday by Edward J.
