If so, a group of legislators who
called on the president recently
Democratic Senator Gillette OF Iowa,
Republican Senator Burton Of Ohio,
Democratic Representative Ran
dolph Of West Virginia, Republican
Representatives Stevenson of Wis
consin and Tibbott of Pennsylvania
will get the credit.
The president had prepared some
advance ammunition when they ar
rived--a letter from the War De-
partment telling Of the detailing Of
all the airports authorized for the
country. He proceeded to read 1t in
order to discourage his callers even
before they got started,
I'm glad you brought that up,
Mr.. President" said Congressman
Randolph Of West Virginia, because
that's just the opposite of what we
have here. In this case, these COM
munities had been approached by
the government and urged to build
airports for war uses. The colnmu-
mites did not take the initiative.
But when urged by the government,
thew then cooperated 100 per cent.
Men went on personal notes to bor-
row the money until bond issues
could be hoated. Land was pur-
chased, buildings RACED, $4,000, 900
was spent by these communities.
And then suddenly they find that
someone in Washington has changed
his mind"
Here Representative Stevenson OF
Wisconsin picked up the argument
Take the city Of La Crosse" he
said. 1.-THE people of La Crosse went
to extreme lengths to cooperate with
the government. They condemned
land and actually forced families to
move from 40 parcels of land in or
der to clear the airport site. And
when school refused to move, the
people Of La Crosse got the Wiscon-
sin legislature to pass new law
making 1t possible to condemn the
schoolhouSe.
Then, after all this trouble
after tearing down buildings, and
when the contractor had all his
machinery on the spot ready to start
your order of March 8 comes
through, ruling that the airport is
not q military necessity"
YES" interrupted Senator Burton
Of Ohio your ruling had the effect
of saying that those communities
which had put their shovels In the
ground could go ahead with their
airports, while those with shovels
suspended in mid-air could not"
The president agreed that his or
der had been too strict in differen-
tiating between airports that had
already started work and those with
their land all ready to start. Mean
while. Representative Stevenson
went on to tell about the La Crosse
project and how only few weeks
ago an Army bomber, enroute from
Minneapolis to Chicago. was forced
down on what was to have been
the airport and nearly wrecked
"A colonel had to come up from
Madison. Wis, to get the plane out,
Stevenson said.
"Only a colonel?" interrupted the
president. And after I've signed
so many commissions for major

teal Surprise

ny WILLIAM r. HI0GINBOTHANd
UNITED Press War COrTespOndent)
Representing Combined Allied
Press
Aboard U. s. Coastguard Trans
port OF France, June 6--(UP)-
American soldiers Storming the in
vasion area Of France successfully
have seized their beachhead to COM
plete the first phase Of their assault.
The commander Of the naval
forces which delivered the army
through the channel in this area
without challenge from the Ger
mans pronounced the attack COM
plete tactical surprise.
THE beach has been seized and
is being cleared" he said. The sea-
wall Is being broadened for the flow
of equipment. We have been sue
cessful beyond our conception Of
what we had expected at this time.
I told the army we would get them
at the right beach at the right time
in the good old navy way. They hit
the beach to the inch"
Every military man who watched
the smooth operation believed either
this massive force moving through
the open channel actually surprised
the Germans or the enemy lacked
the strength to challenge 1t.
The forces diSembarked on sched-
ule. Another force attacked In the
area to the east. Inside the line
where this transport lay, lombard
ing battleships, cruisers and de-
stroyers, including the American
battlewagonS Arkansas, Nevada and
Texas sent shells in laundering
salvos onto the beaches.
Losses were meagre compared to
the results of this attack on Hitler's
supposed fortress in France.
Despite q 24-hour delay in the
assault caused by the weather and
the complicated organization which
may have been endangered by any
enemy attack, this assault has gone
right, protected partly by a cloudy
sky and by constant aerial escort.
The big conveys totaling more
than 1000 large and small vessels
moved squarely into areas where the
enemy could have thrown every
thing he had. But never once were
the armada's radios silenced to an
nounce an enemy attack. Never
once did q gun sound within hearing
of this transport.
Up to this moment, the only re-
port Of enemy aerial activity was
pickup from Nazl pilot somewhere
In the area reporting to his base
that he has seen many ships in
the channel.

generals. I'll bet he was major
general by the time he got back to
Madison"
In the end, the president seemed
much impressed.
TT would seem that the govern
ment has a moral obligation to the
people who have done all this
work" he said, and promised to re-
examine the whole matter.
Word has since leaked out Of the
White House that the result prob
ably will be a green light for the

Germ ANS HAPPY
AFTER CAPTURE
Expressions on Faces
Prove Prisoners Had
Had Enough
BY HOWARD WHITMAN

Representing Combined U. s. PRESS
distributed by the United Press)
An invasion Port, June 8. - CUP
- The first German prisoners and
the first casualties to reach this
port were landed late today.
The prisoners, who had been
fished out Of the Channel after
their German craft was sunk by
invasion warships, were brought IN
aboard q British light cruiser at
Y p. m.
They Immediately were herded
into q compound to be questioned
by intelligence officers. These
Nazls who were among the first to
feel the sting of the invasion starg-
gled along the pier like half
drowned rats. 1t was clear from
the expressions on their faces that
they had had enough. In a subtle
way they seemed happy to be in the
safety of Allied captivity.
The first wounded to be disem-
barked were soldiers brought back
from the French coast In mine
sweeper. They were carried ashore
by litter bearers and taken to an
emergency hospital near the pier.
This hospital Is merely a receiv-
tng station and all casualties except
cases too serious to be moved are
evacuated to inland hospitals within
R4 hours.
At $50 p. m. tank landing craft
put in with casualties, including
dead. Two Of the cases were too
serious to be moved to base hos
pital.
