The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-06-15

In the Pentagon building, where
Military Intelligence, or CO., is
housed, moving day was called
CPS D-Day". They invaded
their new Offices.
But never could they have chos-
en- worse day to move than the
Allied D-Day. Other War De-
partment officers kept calling up
CO., asking for information.
Sorry" said the operator, "but
the telephones are all torn out.
G2 Is moving"
Furniture was being moved down
corridors, files Of secret informa-
ton were being shunted from one
place to another. Everything was
confusion on the one day which
meant most to the war.
Apparently, Military Intelli-
gence, supposed to know every
thing, didn't know when the big
day we were to cross the Eng
lish Channel was scheduled.
REASON FOR CRACK
DOWN ON ERE
Now 1t can be revealed why
President Roosevelt was so tough
In his breakdown on the Irish re-
garding the removadl Of Axis dip
lolnats from Fire.
1t long had been planned,
though a strict secret, to land on
the Cherbourg peninsula. To reach
1t, many U. S. troops had to steam
tkTough waters adjacent to Fire.
This was because the bulk of U.
S. army camps have bene located
in the west and northwest of
England. While some of the troops
we're moved in advance to the
Channel ports, a lot of them had
to swing down through the. Irish
Sea around the tip end of Wales
and then toward Cherbourg.
Naturally, the President want
ed no scrap Of information re-
garding the early passage of
landing barges through the Irish
Sea to leak out in any manner,
or form.
NOTE: AS it later happened, the
invasion probably was no surprise
to the enemy, partly because of
the false invasion news dispatch,
partly because of the fact that the
armada, after getting all ready,
had to be held up one day be-
cause of bad weather.
CAPITAL CHAFF
You can expect Admiral MINI
itZ to replace Admiral King as
Chief of Naval operations most of
the time ~. Chief of Staff Gen.
eral Marshall was able to go to
bed and sleep soundly the night
of the invasion, for two reasons:
~ He had done his work so well
in advance; 90 he has gone thorug
in advance; ~ he has gone
through life working intensely
during his work periods, then re-
taxing completely during his rest
periods.
He usually takes is minutes off
for a cat-nap after lunch. That
is why, though past retirement
age. he looks under IS today .
Dewey brain-trusters have devised
and effective campaign idea which
should win votes-namely, we are
not electing a Vice President, but
a President. The idea is based on
the general report that the Presi-
dent, If he runs, will step out af-
ter the war is over Democrats
are spreading new slogan
Dewey want Hoover again."
George Seldes' I'm Fact" this week
carries a revealing expose on Miss
Vivien Kellems' Nazo boy friend
In Argentina.
DENTISTS HIGH
PRESSURE CONGRESS
You never could guess most
secret document on Capitol Hill.
It has little to do with the war,
but rather with tibet ender SUBJ
jetc Of teeth and the gentlemen
who drill them.
The document Is a record of a
hearing before the House Naval
Affairs Committee on the question
Of putting Navy dentists on the
same plane as naval doctors.
Chairman Carl Vinson OF Georgia

the record until he has time to
the cause of Righteousness,
