With Ernie Pyle in France Street Fighting In France Proves Exciting for Yanks By ERNIE PYLE IN 'NORMANDY (By Wireless) Wire-less) The hospital was in our hands, but just barely. On up the street a block there seemed to be fighting. I say seemed to be, because actually you can't always al-ways tell. Street fighting is just as confusing as field fighting. One side will bang away for a while, then the other side. Between Be-tween these sallies there are long lulls, with only stray and "isolated shots. Just an occasional soldier is sneaking about, and you don't see anything of the enemy at alL You can't tell half the time just what the situation is, an neither can the soldiers. About a block beyond the hospital hos-pital entrance two American tanks were sitting in the middle of the street, one about 50 yards ahead of the other. I walked toward to-ward them. Our infantrymen wese in doorways along the street. I got within about 50 feet of our .front tank when it let go its 75-millimeter gun. The blsst was terrific there in the narrow street Glass came tinkling ' down from nearby windows, smoke puffed around the tank, and the empty street was shaking and trembling with the concussion. As the tank continued to shoot I ducked in a doorway, because I figured the Germans would shoot back. Inside the doorway there was a sort of street-level cellar, dirt-floored- Apparently there was a wine shop above, for the cellar was stacked with wire crates for holding wine bottles lots all Navy Instructor, Former Grid Sar Held For Murder PAGE 2 PHOVO.

XXX I went back to the doorway and stood peeking; out at the tank. It started backing- up. Then suddenly sud-denly a yellow flame pierced the bottom of the tank and there was a crash of such Intensity that I automatically blinked my eyes. The tank, hardly 50 feet from where I was standing, had been hit by an enemy shell. A second shot ripped the pave-ment pave-ment at the side of the tank. There was smoke all around, but the tank didn't catch fire. In a moment the crew came boiling out of the turret Grim as it was, I almost had to laugh as they ran toward us. I have never seen men run so violently. They ran all over, with arms and heads going up and down and with marathon-race grimaces. They plun&ed. 4nto my doorway. ' " I spent the next excited hour with them. We changed to another an-other doorway and sat on boxes in the empty hallway. The floor and steps were thick with blood where a soldier had been treated within the hour. What had happened to the tank was this: They had been firing away at a pillbox ahead when their 75 backfired, filling the tank with smoke and blinding them. They decided to back up in order or-der to get their bearings, but after backing a few yards the driver was so blinded that he stopped. Unfortunately he stopted exactly at tne root or a side street. More unfortunately there was another German pillbox up the side street. All the Germans had to do was to take easy aim and let go at the sitting duck. The first shot hit a tread, so the tank couldn't move. That was when the boys got out. I don't know wny the Germans didn't fire at them as tbey poured out The escaped tankers naturally were excited, but they were as jubilant as June-bugs and ready for more. They Had never been in combat before the Invasion of Normandy, yet in three weeks ther tank had been shot up three times. Each Ume it was repaired repair-ed and put back in action. And it can be repaired again this time. The name of their tank, appropriately, appro-priately, is "Be Back Soon." XXX The main worry of these boys was the fact that they had left the engine running. We could hear it chugging away.. It's bad for a tank motor to idle very long. But now they were afraid to go back and turn the motor off, for the tank was still right In line with the hidden German gun. Also, they had come out wear ing their leather crash helmets. Their steel helmets were still Inside In-side the tank, and so were their rifles. "We'll be a lot of good without helmets or rifles!" one of them said. The crew consisted of Corp. Martin Kennelly, of (8040 Lang-ley Lang-ley St) Chicago, the tank commander; com-mander; Sergt L. Wortham, Leeds, Ala., driver; Pvt Ralpi Ogren. of (3551 32nd Ave. South Minneapolis, assistant driver; Corp. Albin Stoops, Marsh altown, Del., gunner, and Pvt. Charles Rains, of (1317 Madison St.) Kansas City, the loader. Private Rains was the oldest of the bunch, and the only married mar-ried one. He used to work as a guard at the Sears, Roebuck plant in Kansas City. "I was M. K to 1500 women." he said wiht a grin, "and how I'd like td be back doing that!" The other tankers all expressed loud approval of this sentiment Birds help to prune trees by nipping off superfluous buds for food, and Dreaxing orr twigs tor nesting material.

MOORE United Press 8taff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 15 OLE) The Germans will continue fight ing doggedly on all fronts of their wide defense perimeter, withdrawing withdraw-ing only when forced to do so to avoid entrapment military ob servers here believed today. This was at variance with re ports from abroad suggesting the Germans might voluntarily with draw from the outer rim of oc cupied Europe and take up their stand on or close to German soil. It is recognized that the Ger mans are withdrawing from Lat via, Lithuania and Estonia, but this is not considered voluntary as the Russians are threatening to cut off the enemy forces in those Baltic states. Despite the fact that this would tend to isloate German troops in Finland, observers believe the Germans Ger-mans will try to keep their troops there as long as possible to bolster Finnish resistance, enaintaing communications com-munications by sea with the aid of strong air forces on the various Baltic islands. To get the picture in mind, this estimate of the disposition of German Ger-man divisions was given: Finland, 10; France, the low countries and Germany, 70; Italy, 20; Russia. 180; Norway, 12; Den mark, 4; Balkans 24 A total of about 321. Satellite divisions are estimated at: Finland. 15; Romania, 25; Hungary, 22; Bulgaria, 19; Cro atia. 5; Slovakia, 4 A total of 90 Though there is no accurate way of determing the present strength of German divisions, the former figures of 10,000 to 15,000 men in a division can be used with the resulting totals recognized as be- ling unquestionably too large due to depletion of divisions through combat readjustments. Thus it appears that though the Germans might salvage 10 divisions di-visions from Finland they would thereby risk the loss of the support I of 15 Finnish divisions. By with drawing irom uie cancans ana saving 25 German divisions the Germans would risk the loss of the support of more than twice that many satellite divisions. The Balkans appear to be the least likely scene ofa German withdrawal. In addition to the many satellite soldiers they might' lose as keepers of the southern gateway to Germany there are economic reason why the Germans-need Germans-need to keep their . grip on the Balkans to the bitter end. Food Food supplies from the Danube, Romanian oil and Yugoslav minr erals are an important part of Nazi war economy. Because of difficult communication communica-tion lines and a smaller stake in manpower and economy, the Ger' mans might be expected to chooae Norway and Finland first If they felt forced to contract their lines. But the troops 'they could with-draw with-draw from those countries would not be relatively large. Moreover' withdrawal in the face of opposition are expensive, and Allied planes could be expected to strongly con- test such withdrawals. . BLIMP LOST AT SEA A. PARTRBEAN PORT.
