In the east the Germans have Committed such huge forces that their destruction would be a mortal mor-tal blow to the Nazis. As of now, this is not true in either Norr mandy or Italy. There is now no indication that the Russians will not be able to maintain the terrific rate of progress pro-gress they have registered thus far. In one month s time this aej' vance has ranged up to a maxi mum of about 250 miles. The Ger mans must stem this movement soon or be in the gravest danger. A collapse of their defenses either in Normandy or Italy would be serious for the Germans, But it would bring to the Nazis no immediate danger greater than now exists in the cast. Observers here believe it is quite possible that the end of the present wasting struggle in Normandy may be the collapse of German defenses there. But even so. great distances and formidable obstacles must be crossed before the heart of Germany can be reached from that direction. Between Normandy and Berlin there are such river barriers as the Seine, Somme. Meuse, the Rhine, the Ardennes, the fortifications fortifica-tions of the old Maginot and Siegfried lines, and such new de fenses as the anti-invasion pos- i itions alfcng; the Pas-De Calais! Coast. In the same way the western Al-1 lies do not have the power to I administer a death blow to th Nazis in Italy. If the enemy's Pism-Rimini line gives way. th' j Germans can stand at the Alps An Allied victory comesurate with! the capture of Rome would carry them no farther than those moun-l tain and gain the destruction of j not many German divisions. (Continued from Pag One) strike new and telling blows against the defenders. - "Our beaches are weu secured and there is nothing the Japs can do now to run us off." MaJ. Gen. Roy: S. Geiger, commanding all land forces on Guam, said. (Radio Tokyo said in a broad cast heard, by the United Press in San- Francisco today that Jap anese garrisons on Guam were holding; their first defense lines and artillery shells hit a 10.000-ton 10.000-ton American transport anchored off short) (Americans I "carried out" an other landing on Guam today, the German DNB agency said in a Tokyo To-kyo dispatch. The broadcast said the landing was made at great cost," and claimed one landing boat was sunk and another set afire, and 11 amphiblious tanks and "half of the remaining ships" were sunk.) (Admlttinr the invasion of Tin- Ian, a. Japanese imperial headquarters head-quarters communique reported by the FCC today, said "The enemy is continuing to increase his forces, forc-es, and our forces are engaged in a fierce all-out battle with them.") The fierceness of the battle wss evident on all sides today, Al Dopking, representing the combined com-bined Allied press, reported in a front line dispatch. Bodies of the enemy forces were sprawled at cave and dugout entrances were they fanatically but futilely tried to stop American advances up the rugged hills and cliffs, Dop king said. Chonito Cliff, one of the tough est points of resistance, was lit tered with enemy dead, he said. One of the bloodiest parts of this action, Dopking added, was fought in a pass where the Japanese had dug into positions overlooking the road. Tanks and infantry knocked knock-ed them out. The assault troops used flamethrowers, flame-throwers, bazookas, grenades and rifles to blast their way forward on Guam while carrier aircraft and naval surface .units bombed and shelled selected targets be hind the enemy lines. The northern and southern forc es surrounding the coastline of Aprs harbor made gains up to a mile and one-half to establish patrol pa-trol contacts, Admiral Chester W. Nimitx said in a communique. The total area of the two beachheads was about eight square miles, compared with the 'island's area of 225 square miles. Those figures, coupled with reports re-ports of the rugged terrain which was becoming increasingly difficult diffi-cult as the Americans push inland, in-land, indicated the difficult Job faced by the invaders. On Tinian island marines of the Second and Fourth divisions captured cap-tured strategic heights command ing the Ushi Point airstrip after several hundred Japanese were killed in a desperate but unsuc cessful. counter-attack. With but a fortnight's rest after conquering conquer-ing Saipan, the veterans mowed down the enemy at the beachhead perimeter, unperturbed by the attackers' at-tackers' wild yells and screams and the flashing of their aamuri swords. Richard W. Johnton. United Press war correspondent, reported report-ed from the expeditionary flagship flag-ship that he could see marine tanks and guns blazing their way up the steep, southwest approach ea to the 500-foot high plateau on which the airstrip is located. In fantrymen already had clawed their way up the sheer slopes to oust the outer rim of Japanese defenders, he said. The Naval Air Transport Serv Ice's most famous cargo plane is the giant flying boat Mars which one one trip carried a record air load of 35,000 pounds.

Senators (Continued from Page One) force the supreme court decision. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 26 a&.) Hattie M. Caraway, only women member of the United States senate, was defeated for renomination in yesterday's Democratic Demo-cratic primary, mounting returns demonstrated today. Her leading opponent was Rep. J. William Fulbright, author of the Fulbright resolution favoring United States collaboration with other nations to keep world peace, but it was indicated that he would fall short of a majority, thus necessitating a run-off primary pri-mary to decide the winner. Mrs. Caraway was running fourth in the field of four and thus was eliminated. Mrs. Caraway was appointed to the senate in 1931 to succeed her late husband. Thaddeus H. Caraway. She was elected in a special election in January, 1932, to his unexpired term and reelected re-elected in the fall of 1932 and acain in 1938. Negroes were permitted to vote in the Democratic primary for the first time in Arkansas history The only requirement was a poll tax receipt and election officials estimated at least 10,000 partici pated. No untoward incidents were reported. Eight Bureau Of Reclamation Men ToJJe Transferred Approximately tight employes of the U. S.

The Salt Lake City personnel will include some 40 workers, Mr. Larson said, in ad dition to the field crews working out of that office. Under the reorganization of the regional office, F. J.

Ordinance Passed Against Gambling Ths city commissioners at their regular Wednesday taornlng meeting, meet-ing, passed a city ordinance, prohibiting pro-hibiting the operating of card tables ta-bles or card dubs for business. Ths ordinance takes in gamb ling In all forms, specifying cards, dice, horse racing; fan-tan, dom inoes or any game which Is being operated to encourage gambling. The action came upon the heels of the city court decision, hand ed down by Judge W. Dean Loose, ordering police Chief J. D. Boyd, to return five slot machines seized at a local club, during the initial stages of the anti-rambling campaign, a monin ago. The decision or the court wss explained,' in that no' complaint had been submitted in writing and that an oral complaint was in sufficient to invoke; the Jurisdic tion of the court. Technical reasons for the de cision rendered in this case, will not affect the stand of the au thorities and the drive to elimi nate gambling will keep on said Mayor Maurice Harding today. . Goebbels Allied Aerial Assault on Normandy Front Heaviest of the Invasion (Continued from Page One) most five years, he held out the bleak prospect of further sacrfi-ces, sacrfi-ces, asserting that they are only now entering upon the statge of total war. "I know the difficulties of this task." he said, "but I dont shrink back. I know that the entire people peo-ple is going to help." Struggling to soften his pro nouncement Goebbel s spoke vaguely of "secret weapons" now being readied by German war in dustries for use against the Allies, and assured them that the Reich's armament production actually has been increased in spite of the shatering aerial offensive. The enemy air attacks have not inflicted serious damage to our war production Tie boasted, adding that even greater output out-put will be achieved in the months ahead. At the sametlme, he revealed that Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler, appointed less than a week ago as commander of the German army inside the Reich. has been charged with raising and training "many new divisions' to be hastened to the fighting fronts.' "Our effectives onthe front will very quickly be replenished and the front will achieve the striking strik-ing power which it urgently needs forthe coming months," he promised. Goebbels devoted 20 minutes of his 45 - minute broadcast to a full account" of the attempt on Hitler's life last week, in which he carefully refrained from nam ing the German army officers, in volved his only nint or tneir identify came in a brief passage in which he said the conspirators were the same men mentioned re peatedly by the Allies In recent months as an "opposition" group in the wehrmacht. "It was no coincident that a British explosive was used and the assailant was related to Eng lieh artistracy." The only member of the plot identified by the propaganda mirj ister was the executed Count Claus von Stauffenberg, named as the man- who planted the bomb and flew to Berlin In a vain at tempt to turn the army garrisons in the capital against the Nazis Rubber Director Resigns; Favors Abolishing Post WASHINGTON. July 28 (UK) I America's $800,000,000 synthetic rubber industry non existant two years ago but -now producing more than enough to meet war needs will survive the war and may eventually replace plantations planta-tions of the far east as the prime source of rubber, according to rubber Director Bradley Dewey. . Dewey announced ' yesterda y that his rubber agency will be dissolved on or before September 1 on his recommendation and that its functions will be taken over by the war production board. He will return to the presidency of a Massacnusetts chemical company, com-pany, which he left to take a dol-lar-a-year Job as assistant to Wil liam M. Jeffers, his predecessor as rubber cnier. Dewey predicted that the synthetic syn-thetic industry would "live" In competition with natural rubber and would act as a heaven-sent brake on the cost of Urea" "I am as sure this will happen I am that God makes little green apples," he told a press conference. He expressed belief that the price of synthetic crudes after the war will determine the price of natural rubber. Dewey estimated it would take at least 'seven years once the Japanese have been cleaned out ol the far east to restore rubber plantations to their peacetime output By that time, he said, the synthetic product probably will have been perfected to the point where it can meet competition from its natural counterpart in both quality and price. "Chemists and engineers have won almost every battle they've ever undertaken with nature, and no capitalist, I am sure, is going to invest money to clear jungles when a product equally good can be made. WITH ALLIED FORCES IN NORMANDY. July 28 (Uv German Ger-man prisoners captured west of St. Lo by American infantrymen today were suffering from shell shock as a result of yesterday's aerial assault when some 3,000 planes dropped 6.000 tons of bombs in the war's greatest air bombardment in support of ground troops. Two of the- first prisoners captured cap-tured following the two and one half hour bombardment said German Ger-man officers In some sectors abandoned their troops, leaving orders to "shoot any men in the back who attempts to surrender." The all-out aerial bombardment was the most hellish thing they had ever - experienced, the two prisoners said. One was an 18-year-old. Bavarian, Bavar-ian, conscripted into the paratroops, para-troops, the other was a 26-year-old, hard bitten sergeant with three Russian winters behind him, neather showed signs of shell shock as did many prisoners taken as the allied forces advanced ad-vanced after the air attack. A fleet of 1500 heavy bombers paced some 3000 planes in reducing re-ducing to pulp everything and everybody throughout the wide attack strip where they were estimated es-timated to have dropped a bomb every 15 yards. Seventeen sir-chaft sir-chaft were lost, but it was officially of-ficially announced that 30 German Ger-man planes also were shot down.
