 Lewis said picked British assault troops crossed tho Schelde Estuary early yesterday and landed on South Heveland at the very moment Can- adlan riflemen to the east were fighting their way up the CNuseway linking the island to the Dutch mainland,
 First reports said tho Germans were caught of guard by the British landing and that the Tommles fought their way almost Q mile across the island within Q matter of hours, winning c firm heaehhead for tho landing of fresh supplies and achievements,
 ll,OOO Germans
 Tn exact point of the landing was not immediately disclosed, but an estimated il000 Germans were be- lleved pinned down on South Beve. land and neighhoring Waloheren Island to the west, facing the pros- peet of Rnnihllatlon or capture by tho converging Allied forces or im- mediate evacuation by sea,
 Capture of the Islands would break the German grip on the river passage to Antwerp and enable res opening of that port, greatly fAoili. tating the Allied build-up of men and equipment for Q big push Into Germany,
 Headquarters spokesmen said the Canadians attacking from the main- land continued to make good proc gress up the Beveland Causeway against stubborn enemy resistance. The Dominion troops gained another three miles in the past 24 hours, putting them about nine miles across the CauSewAy and almost at the 9oveiand Canal which marks the eastern end of the island.

Third Successive Day Attack
On PoIou. Yop Reported

LONDON, Sept. 8 (P.-The Berlin
radio said today that American
bombers and fighters have raided
the japanese island bases of Palau
and Yap for the third day in a row
and also attacked the Marshall atoll
Of Wolfe.
The report, quoting advices from
Tokyo, said 400 to 500 carrier biased
bombers struck Palau Wednesday

Carrier Planes Blast
Defenses on PaIau,

~ the Associated Press.

PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TERS, Pearl Harbor, Sept. 8.-Dis-
closure today Of an assault on Pa
lau, "the Japanese Singapore" by
Central Pacific aircraft carriers and
Southwest Pacific big bombers
swung the battle for the Philippine
approaches to the east, now that
enemy defenses to the south have
been largely caved in.
Palau, whose anchorage can ac-
commodate a huge fleet within $50
miles of the Philippines, was at
tackled Tuesday by fighter planes
from flattops, Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz reported.
The carrier task forces, making
their first announced appearance in
those waters since Guam, 900 miles
to the northeast, was reconquered
August 9, encountered neither air
nor naval opposition.
80 Tons of Bombs Dropped.
In a communique today, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur filled out the
assault picture, announcing his
Liberators in a co-ordinated attack
spread 80 tons of bombs over air
drome runways without encounter
ing an enemy plane.
Gen. MacArthur's air arm, already
jabbing at the Philippines in the
Mindanao sector, previously has laid
waste to the Japanese Air Force
along the south approaches.
Todays communique emphasized
that by stating pointedly, "our air
forces continued to range over the
Moluccas at will"
The carrier attack on Palau was
the third there this year and both
previous raids either presaged or
attended momentous events. The
first, last March, which stirred up
big sky battles, preceded the in
vasion of Hollandia, Dutch New
Guinea. The second, in July, which
drew feeble air opposition, was made
while American ground forces
battled for Guam.
Planes Strafed on Ground.
Admiral Nimitz said the Tuesday
raiders strafed and set afire several
aircraft on the ground, damaged in
stallations, destroyed an ammuni-
ton dump and set fire to II small
craft.
Perhaps indicating the deteriora-
ton of Palau, the results contrasted
with those of March when more
than $50 enemy planes were bagged,
% ships sunk and 18 damaged
Gen. MacArthur's air force for the
first time widened its probing of
the South Philippine defenses with
night patrol planes raiding 230 miles
west of Davao at Zamboanga, heavily
damaging two enemy naval auxil-
taries.
The destruction of Is parked
planes in an 86-ton strike by
escorted Liberators on the north end
of Dutch Celebes also was an
nounced by Gen. Macarthur. The
fighters probably downed one of

True Overtime Paw
Is Sought by NFFE

The Government has been re-
quested to establish true" time and
a half overtime pay for Federal
employees on a permanent basis in
one of a number of resolutions
adopted by the National Federation
of Federal Employees at it's 18th
convention which closed in Denver
last night. Classified Federal EN-.
ployes average less than time and
half overtime under present leg
islation.
A minimum Federal salary of ST.
500 for all adult, full-time employees
and a wage policy for each type OF
work which would include an en-
trance salary large enough to at
tract capable and qualified en-
ployes" also were urged.
Another resolution called for up-
ward revision of all salary sched-
ules of the Classification Act as
a "step forward in building a more
efficient public service"
The convention urged every DOS
sible consideration" for war service
employees, with provision for un-
employment compensation strongly
recommended"
Opposition was expressed to any
step to merge the Federal Retire
ment System with Social Security
Also opposed was the practice" Of
assigning military personnel to non.
military positions which pronGly
can be filled by civilians.

Bu|gars Battle Nazis,
Reported
By YugosIav Radio

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 8.-Fighting has
broken out between Bulgars and
Germans on the Serbian border,
Cairo reports said today, and the
Free Yueoslav radio declared a
mass uprising ION an unprecedented
scale' had started against enemy
occupation forces.
The Yugoslav radio said the Serbs
were in general revolt and attack
ing garrisons. The Nazis and COL
laborators were declared in panicky
flight toward Hungary. Marshal
Titos forces were said to have tri-
pied in size during the last few days
as his Partisans and the Russians
on the east pressed tighter the jaws
Of a trap fashioned for the enemy
in the Southern Balkans.
The Bulgarian government sought
peace with the Allies.
Clashes Are Limited.
The Bulgar- German clashes ap-
parently were on a small scale and
not a part of any concerted Bull
garian campaign against the Ger
mans. Military experts in Cairo
said developments in the Balkan
country bottled up some 100000
Germans in Greece and Southern
Balkan areas.
There was no indication Of q
large-scale German withdrawal
from Greece, but there was some
evidence that the Germans were
pulling garrisons from Rhodes and
the Dodecanese Islands as well a
from Crete and the Cyclades. These
troops were reported being re-
grouped in northeastern areas to
meet the Russian Bulgarian threat
Allied headquarters in Rome an
nounced that rail routes along which
the Germans are attempting te
evacuate troops from Greece into
Serbia and thence into Hungary
have been destroyed and Yugo-
slavia's railways are so devastated
that organized resistance to the
Russian thrust toward the Adriatic
will be impossible.
Balkan Barrier Established.
"A barrier has, in effect, been laid
across the Balkans from the coast ia
Romania to prevent the possibility
of any planned retreat back into
Germany" an ofIicial announce
ment said.
Attempting to set its house In
order and satisfy the Allies, the
Bulgarian government announced
