French coastal towns "endan-

evacuated by their civil popula-
tons shortly.
Meanwhile Hitler was having
trouble in another part of his
occupied domain. The German
radio reported during the night
that large scale battles were in
progress in western Croatia be-
tween Axis troops and Yugoslav
guerrillas.
The broadcast said that Ger
man, Italian and Croatian sol
diers had stormed mountain
heights held by Yugoslav patri-
OTIS and captured key positions at
Udbina and korenica. The guer-
rillas made repeated counterat-
tacks, but were repulsed, it was
reported.
Other sources with contacts in
