GROWING INTENSITY
AIR PRESSURE ON DEFENSIVE BELT (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) London, Jan. 10. Allied air attacks against the six-mile German defensive belt protecting Cassino are growing in intensity as the weather improves. Fighter-bombers and divebombers are maintaining a daylight pounding of the German lines. We dropped a great weight of bombs on the four-mile gap between Cassino and Cervaro where Germans are strongly entrenched. The Allied raid yesterday on the enemy naval base at Pola was the first by any Allied Air Force. Pilots report that the target was well and truly covered and that no enemy planes were encountered. SOFIA RAIDED AGAIN It is officially announced from Algiers that a heavy force of Flying Fortresses bombed Sofia at noon to-day. This is the fifth time Sofia has been raided in two months.
