unloading was stopped because ii
was impossible to get past the pile

finished off the ramp.
At this stage of the fighting on
the beach, the first assault troops
were still on the waters edge, having
gained only 20 or 80 yards during
the first two hours. The Germans
were machine cunning and shelling
the beach continuously.
According to statement later is

troops had forced their way back
into the high ground and the naval
guns had pounded the cement forti-

secure for unloading.
The ship backed off the beach
after the ramp was destroyed. Fires
had started in the three forward
compartments.
While the ship was standing off
the beach about 100 yards, the dam

Seven Plants Ordered 70 Cul
Output Of Guns for Planes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press ""
Because of lowering of 1914
aircraft production goals, the Army
has ordered cutback of between
10 and IS per cent in the produc-
ton of 50-caliber machine guns to
be mounted in planes.
The curtailment goes into effect
in seven plants on July l. but was
not spread evenly among the plants.
Production at the Colt Patent Fire
arms Co., Hartford, Conn, will be
cut 40 per cent, government sources
said.
The Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co. of
Plymouth, Mich, was assigned a
considerably smaller cut and the
other five unidentified producers
only slight reductions.
Government sources said the Colt
plant was cut most deeply because
of plant difficulties in mass pro-
duction technique which con-
tributed to higher cost per
weapon.

D. {. Agents Denied
Claim on S1,700,000
Contract From Navy
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., June 20.-A
contract between manufacturing
company in Newark and its WASH
ington representatives, who had OBJ
tanned $1,700,000 Navy contract
for it, was ordered voided yester-
day by State Circuit Court Judge
William A. Smith as contrary to
public policy"
Alexander H. Stone, head of Stone
& Stone, manufacturers agents in
Washington, had sued the William
Steinen Manufacturing Co. of New
ark for two weeks salary at S400
week for his firm to test the
validity of the contract.
Judge Smith commented that the
salary contract under which the
suit was brought superseded one
which called for payment of a per
cent commission on any contract
obtained. The first contract was
abandoned, he said, when the Navy
refused to do business on that basis.
Contract Called q Blind.
The second contract was "a mere
blind" the judge stated, adding
that Government contracts specif-
ically prohibited the employment
of any person to solicit or obtain
them on contingency commission
basis.
Mr.. Stone, a former Newark
mortgage loan broker, of 2840 Six
teenth street NV, Washington,
said that if the suit had succeeded,
the way would have been open for
his firm to recover approximately
$4,000 from, the Newark company.
The Stei11enr company contested. the
suit. '4f
Judge Smith, who heard testimony
three weeks ago, said the Govern
ment took the position in the case
that the Navy contracts with the
Newark company prohibited pay
ment of the commission as selling
expense" and that, therefore, the
amount was deducted from pay
ments to the Steinen firm as "ex-
cessive for the materials delivered"
Only Part-Time EmpIoye.
The Stones, the court said, did
not maintain an Office in Washing
ton, but conducted their business
with Navy officials from a residence
and had no employees other than a
part-time stenographer.
Il do not mean," Judge Smith
stated, that Mr. Stone did not do

transferred to the transport by
cargo boom.
The Army medics and doctors who
had stayed to help with the casual
ties climbed into a small boat fur
nished by the transport and head
ed for the beach they had just left
They took their equipment and
said nothing. They knew they
were needed on the beach. How
many of them are living now I dc
not know.
The ship backed away from the
transport, and a. salvage tug came
alongside to determine whether she
could be saved. But even their
pumps could not keep up with the
water.
Slowly she settled by the bow
and finally began to turn on her
side. The crew scrambled up on
the tug, and she went over.
She f1oated for while, her stern
just showing. The tug sent over a
small boat with a demolition charge
to finish her off.
The charge went off, and that was
the end of one Lei.
1t never occurred to me that peo-
pie who had had ships sunk under
them during the enormous amphibi-
Gus operation which secured the first
beachheads on the coast of France
would be specially provided for
until it happened to me.
I thought that whatever ship
picked you up cared for you.

The men from our ship were the
first of almost 500 to be sent to her
for transportation back to the
United Kingdom. For three days
we stayed of the French coast gath
ering the load.
But it was a cheerful, varied bunch
Of survivors. Army casualties, crews
from landing craft of various sorts
warships, Coast Guard units and
British Army medical units were
jammed on the LIST.
The strangest part of the wait was
the lack of news. Both of the ships
radios were being used officially
and there was no way to get the
daily news reports Lying a few
miles off the beach, where the heav-
lest fighting was taking place, we
knew nothing except what could be
pieced together from the incoming
survivors.
Henry B. Jameson, Associated
Press correspondent, was one of the
survivors to come aboard. He had
been riding Rhino ferry when in

Lease-Lend Credited
BY yLytte|ton as Big
Factor in Invasion
BY The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 20. - American
and British reciprocal lease-leno
programs were the key factors which
made possible the invasion. Capt
Oliver Lyttelton, British Minister OF
War Production, said today in ar
address to the American Chamber
of Commerce.
Referring to charges that the
British are selling lease lend goods
to third countries. Capt. Lytteltor
declared every possible precaution is
being taken to prevent anything Of
the kind happening.
He said American leaSe-lenc
amounted to $4,000 100000 in 1874;
and that British reverse lease-leno
has amounted to $4,000 100000 tc
date. He said America is supplying
Is per cent of England's munitions
and that the $4,000 ,0O0 900 was ex.
elusive of supplies to other parts OF
the world for use by British forces.
100 Airdromes Constructed.
British lease-lend to the United
States is now running at more than
twice the rate it was at the begin
ming of 1943, he said
American forces in the United
Kingdom have received use of bar
racks and other military facilities
and one-third of all their current
requirements of military supplies
Capt. Lyttelton asserted. He said
British aid also consisted of the con-
|struction of 100 airdromes. the turn
ing over of large number of air
craft, including 500 gliders and
many squadrons of Spitfires and
supplying American forces with one
fifth of their food
An important phase of British aid
to Americans. he said, was making
available as troops transports the
great liners Queen Elizabeth and
Queen Mary.
Capt Lyttelton said other items
of British aid included the 90-gallon
belly fuel tank which enabled
Thunderbolts to escort bombers over
Berlin and other long-distance tar
gets; turning over to the United
States Navy results of British re-
search in submarine detection and
the turning over details of the Rolls
Royce Merlin and Whittle engines
which are being made in the United
States.
Data Given on New Gunsight.
Capt. Lyttelton said the emergence
OF Mustangs as an outstanding
fighter plane was largely due to
British initiative in its design and
the Merlin engine. He added that
the United States had been given
data on new sight which promises
to be the most outstanding gunsight
vet devised, and that it will go into
large-scale manufacture in the
United States practically in its
British form.
The war minister also pointed to
British research in rocket weapons
turned over to United States experts
as part of the British aid to
America. He said American rockets
based on British design are now
being used with great effect by
American forces in the Pacific.
Capt. Lyttelton concluded his
speech with tribute to Gen. Eisen-
hover.
There is no one to whom have
talked in the British armed forces
who has been under the command
of Gen. Eisenhower who has not the
greatest regard and affection for
him." he said. .SS#

Mr.. Morrison asked the House to

they would be graduated as officers.
