CEMTERY, England, June 10.-(R
The first American dead from the
terrible battle across the channel
rested tonight beneath British soil.
Rows of fag-covered caskets of
brown, polished wood lay at the
bottom of mass graves opened by
a steel-jawed steam shovel.
AS double column of officers
and enlisted men led by five chap
lains approached in a slow march,
the English operator of the steam
shovel stood silently in his cab
his hand clutching his cap, his
black hair blowing in the wind.
There was nothing to mark this
as anything but another military
funeral, but it seemed to drive
home with cruel sharpness the in
creased tempo of war on the
French coast.
With Capt. Sumner johnson, U.
S. Ninth Air Force chaplain of Ter

cemetery. 1t must be one of the

There were no mourners inside
the Rhododendr on bounded ceme-
terry save one. An English girl, her
eyes red and ppuffy from weeping,
stood in the road a few feet away
and chewed nervously at a wrinkl-
ed handkerchief. She wore a rough
leather coat, no hat, and no stock

GERMAN GENERALS
FACE BIG GAMBLE

LONDON, June 10. -(P)- The
Germans tonight confronted their
greatest single gamble since they
invaded Russia; whether to risk
an about effort to blast the AL
lies off the Normandy beaches
and thus weakin themselves else
where and ease the way for pos
sible new Allied landings.
AS the Americans gained ground
in the drive for control of the
Cherbourg peninsula, the tough
military chess problem facing mar
shals Won Rundutedt and Rommel
was underscored by the uneasy
probing of Nazi light naval units,
searching out Allied ship move
ments, by failure of the German
air force to challenge the Allies
seriously, and by Germany's own
acknowledgement that the defense
lines had been pushed back.
1t was reflected especially in a
German communique admitting
that in fierce fighting the Germans
had given ground in the Caen-Bay-
eux areas-territory which presum.
ably would feel the first effects of
new German divisions.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Madrid paper "ABC" wrote that
eff the Germans brought so or go
divisions to bear, every Allied SOL
dier could be thrown back into the
sea in a few hours. But this is not
being done because reserves must
be held for other landings or 9TH
er offensives on other fronts.''
A Moscow radio commentator
said there was evidence of ''un-
certainty and irresolution" on the
part of the German command,
which could not make up it's mind
whether to throw in all its forces.
He said the Germans were BADLY
by the scale of Allied
operation

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, June 9.-(delayed)-
tR,-The Germans are fighting
guerrilla warfare in desperate at
tempt to stop the steady progress
Of stout-heartad American dough-
boys, and they are making great
use of snipers.
The enemy is fighting from
trees, hedgerows, buildings, farm
houses, and sending snipers infil-
trating our lines to harass the
rear, but they have been unable
to halt the advance.
There was one verified case of
a sniper being found garbed in
the clothing of an American SOL
dier.
Outside the town in this area.
the Germans are spotting our adj
vance from dugouts. During an ex
change of fire, six enemy soldiers
came out with their hands up in
surrender.
A platoon led by 1t. Robert
Brown of Jackson, Miss, was
fighting for an assembly area
when sniper opened up from be-
hind a bush. Brown silenced this
fire.
The German sniping technique is
to leave one or two men with
machine pistols, rifles and ammu-
milton hidden in the trees or along
the thick hedgerows which border
Normandy's narrow, winding
lanes. If a large body of dough-
boys passes, the snipers hold their
fire. They wait for small groups
of men, walking singly and in Paris
and then they open fire.
But the doughboys stalk them
down, and few snipers come back
alive. Most of them are very young
or men in their forties and fifties.
During the night the Gel: -ans send
sniping patrols to rough our lines,
but these tackles, while irritating,
have not stopped the infantry.
The other night a German patrol
slipped behind our lines along the
hedgerows and surrounded one
units command post. where Maj.
Frank Callicco of Utica, N. Y,
was in command 1t was about
I am. They sneaked in and COW
cred Callicco and his men with
machine pistols.
"You are prisoners young
German said in English, and or
dered Ca1licco and his men to ac-
company them. Callicco had other
ideas. The major suddenly grabbed
the machine pistol from his captor
and tried to shoot him, but the gun
damned. He b the German
over the head. Another German
grabbed him from behind, and Cal
icco tossed this one over his head.
In the meantime the other boys
were in action, too, and when the
fracas was over, the major and his
men had taken the Germans pris-
soners. Now the boys are calling
him Maj. Muscles" Ca1licco.
Never before have the Germans
Used such tactics against Ameri-
IAN troops, but this country lends
Itself to this type Of fighting. The
