FDR In Accord With DeGouIIe
By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, July il. (UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt said today that the United States has decided to accept Gen. Charles De Gaulle's French committee of National Liberation as the actual working authority for civilian administration of the Ltb- erated areas of France.
 De Gaulle made plain before leav- ing for New York and Canada that the major topics he discussed with the President concerned restoration of civil administration in France, postwar treatment of Germany and the future of France and the French empire.
 There was general agreement among well informed sources that no specific agreement was reached on any of these subjects, but there was hope and belief that negotia- tions would begin soon here or in London for @ formal agreement on civil administration.
 In the meantime, the United States appeared ready to let De Gaulle go ahead with his plans for moving the French national committee, which De Gaulle calls the provisional government of the French Republic, to metropolitan France.
 If he can move to France and take over civil administration to the satisfaction of Frenchmen, that will be excellent" said one high ranking official who talked several times with De Gaulle. That will relieve the Allied military forces of tremendous burden"

 With U. S. Troops on Makunsah Battlefield, Saipan, July 8-(ELT)- (Via Navy Radio)-(UP)-"Blood Friday" will go down in the nnals of Saipan island as day of car- mage, of mass killing-a day heroes were made and heroes died.
 It was the day hundreds of crack Japanese troops, including choice naval garrisons, launched a fren- Zed and suicidal counter-attack against American lines.
 The attack came at the stroke of dawn yesterday with lightning, powerful smash that carried through the U. s. lines from the weight of numerical superiority. But the Americans in front line fox- holes were alert; none were killed in their sleep.
 Throughout the night machine guns and rifles had rattled, and when the Japanese hit at dawn, the Q. s. forces started firing.
 Americans and Japanese threw grenades at each other from 30 feet, swapped rife fire at 10 feet, lunged at each other with bayonets at arms length. But an infantry man told me:
 'There were so damn many Japs you couldn't kill them all before they had over.run our advance poe sitions and penetrated rearward."
 Survivors of the fighting esti- mated that at least 5000 Japanese made the attack. Some of the en- emy were armed with American carbines and wearing U. s. helmets which they had tolen from the dead and wounded. Some had only re- volvers or grenades. Others carried bayonets lashed to a stick like a primitive spear.
