RESIDENT OF

CHEER TROOPS
Villagers Wildly Happy at
Sight Of Invading
French Soldiers &
By JOSEPH DYNAN
Representing the Combined
American Press

A TOWN ON THE FRENCH
RIVIERA COAST. Aug. 18.-Resi-
dents of this invasion coast village
stared wide-eyed, then gushed with
enthusiasm as trucks of the first
French forces rolled through the
streets enroute to the front after
their landing on Wednesday. i
Bravo, Bravo" old men and girls
in ragged skirts shouted when they
learned that the incoming troops
were French.
At first thinking they were more
Americans, civilians waved and CALI
ed a cautious bon jour" to the
troops in American vehicles, wearing
American uniforms. But whey they
replied to the greetings in French,
the townspeople cheered them
wildly.
In contrast to the roar Of gunfire
on Wednesday, during initial land
ings, the countryside on Thursday
seemed quite peaceful with only &C.
casional artillery shots in the dis
lance.
Residents, mostly women and
girls, trudged under sunny skies
back to town to resume life that
the invasion interrupted. They
wheeled their children and few pos
sessions in baby carriages and small
wagons, pausing along the road to
wave and shout at passing soldiers,
whether French or American.
Tres bien," fair, very we'll" one
resident said of the invasion.

Is on Committee Hit
War Contracts Bill
After lis Approval
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
Thirteen members of the House
Military Affairs Committee have
signed report opposing COM
mittee-approved bill to give the
Controller General extensive au-
thor in settling war contracts.
Headed by Representative Spark
man, Democrat, of Alabama, the
group represents half the committee
membership. Their views were pre-
sented yesterday, not as minority
report, but as additional views" to
those expressed in the committee
report filed by Chairman May.
The Sparkman group directed its
criticism to the provisions OF the
measure which would permit Con-
troller General Warren to review
all agreements growing out OF
terminated war contracts.
Almost without exception Mr.
Sparkman's group said, witnesses at
hearings on the bill condemned al
"unsound and impracticable" Mr.
Warren's proposal that he be allowed
to review settlements before they be-
come final.
The committee bill, the group con-
tinued, lis likely to interfere dis
aStrously both with war production
and with our return to peacetime
manufacture"
Mr.. Sparkman said his group
