GERMAN PRESS TREATS ALLIED
 MOVE LIGHTLY
By WADE WERNER
Associated Press War Correspondent

Associated FreSS war correspondent
 LISBON, June 20, Delayed) = Symptoms in the German press suggest that the Nazis are deeply disturbed over the reaction of the civilian population to the smashing of the Atlantic wall defenses in Normandy by the Allies. Appar- ently Doctor Goebbels had his propaganda mills geared for an en- tirely different kind of situation As a result the German news papers, with the biggest story of the war before them, are giving skimpy and cratic coverage to the main event in the west, while pad- ding their columns with secondary nonmilitary items. Some maps have been published but none even vaguely indicating the areas that the Allied troops are holding.
 Voelkischer Beobachter has a cur ious story saying that the German High Command dellberately plan ned to let the big Allied force break through in order to set the stage for a decisive German victory h. side France. Other newspapers try to assure the people that the French population is collaborating loyaily with "the defenders oi Europe"
 Significantly the Nazis don't tel the same story inside France where a splurge of long articles is being aimed at convincing the French men that Americans have no feel ing for French culture and derive as much pleasure out of the de- struction of the Cathedral City as watching striptease show,

PEARL HARBOR = When you read ,communiques from the front and correspondents stories telling how our Marines and Army dough- boys storm, capture and shatter a death-stinking Pacific atoll, you folks at home feel hope lighting satisfaction, don't you?
 You think to yourself: We've licked the Japs again. We ought to be able now to keep right on rolling to the China coast, and pretty soon start showing the Japs what war is like right at home"
 Militarily, the capture of Kwaja- lein, Roi, and Mamur in the Mar shalls was as nearly perfect as an amphibious operation can be.
 But for individual American hus- bands, fathers and sons, the cost of the Kwajalein victory was great. Two hundred and sixty eight paid with their lives. Hundreds were wounded. Many will remain physic- ally damaged for the rest of their lives.
 Lives and bodies are the weapons of war. If all of you could see a hospital ship crowded with wound ed men as they look coming straight from the battle line, you would know why the primary consideration of Admiral Nimitz and his team of Army, Navy and Marine command CTS in their war planning is:
 The cost in American men must be as small as humanly possible.
 The more power in ships, guns, tanks, planes, landing craft, bombs and shells Nimitz and his staff can muster, the smaller the battle cost in lives will be-
 Victory bond dollars buy the material weapons of war. Dollars buying those weapons earn in- calculable interest in the lives of Americas fighting men.

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS. PEARL HARBOR, June 20. Delayeb-- The Japanese Naval Armada pos- sibly the entire Japanese Fleet has moved out between the Phil- ippines and the invaded Marianas. Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an- nounces, hinting dramatically that history making battle with the American Fifth Fleet may be under way and damage has possibly been inflicted on the Japanese warships. There is possibility major naval engagement might result.
 The Tokyo radio told the Japa- nese people that a huge naval bat tie is taking shape and promised decisive victory.
 T cannot control the Japanese fleet movements and If did there will be definitely a naval engage ment," said Admiral Nimitz.
 Significant Hint
 Admiral Nimitz made the signi- ficant hint that possible damage has already been inflicted on the enemy surface units and these blows could have fallen either from naval forces or carrier planes and might mark the first stages of a great battle.
 Three hundred Japanese planes, believed carrier based. signalled the presence of the enemy warships in the area and they were shot down attacking the American Task Force, said Admiral Ninitz.
 The Admiral said that since the start of the Marianas operations, the enemy losses in planes approach 600.
 Admiral Nimitz declared I've have taken the Marianas and control the sea at least 100 miles from there. No major American combatant unit has been lost in the Marianas strike"

tThis is the fourth of six stories by Associated Press correspond- ents who have seen war at first hand and tell the vital part the equipment bought by war bonds has played in Allied victories and defeats. Erickson has been covering the war in the Pacific since 1942. In March, AZ, he wrote story on typical day in the life of a Flying Forts crew, two weeks later of a convoy cruise to Hawaii, and he's been covering the stories close to the front ever since.)

Ration-free Meat Unchanged; Cheese
Points Down; Some Juice POint-free

Bluffton area residents who like
meat got another break when the
Office of Price Administration an
nounced that all meats sold ON a ra-
tion-free basis for the last month
will remain in that category at least
until July |.
At the same time, the OPA furth-
er eased rationing by adding canned
carrots, orange juice, grapefruit
juice and blended orange and grape
fruit juice to the long list of point
free processed foods.
Cheese and cheese products also
will be easier to get, the result of a
reduction of two points a pound to a
new ration value of 10 points.
MILK POINTS CUT
Ration cost of canned evaporated
and condensed milk was trimmed 80
per cent to a new ration cost of
half a point for each pound.
Only increases ordered are for
pineapple juice, up three points to
Is for a Number 2 can, and grape
juice, boosted four points to 10 for

Despite a smaller civilian allot-
ment for June, butter stays at IL
points per pound and margarine at
two points.
STEAKS RATIoNED
Beef steaks and roasts continue to
be the only cuts of meat requiring
ration stamps, and their values are
unchanged with one exception. Chuck
steaks and roasts are cut two points
pound.
All Grade D beef is removed from
rationing, but the OPA said very few
steaks and roasts of this lower quail
ity are sold at retail. Most of such
meat is made into hamburger.
In continuing the ration-free meat
setup, the OPA said the overall ci-
william supply for June averages
80, 0,136,000 pounds a week, go per
cent increase over 2S2,859,00O pounds

Citrus juices were made available
without ration stamps because this

been anticipated and because the new
pack is about one month ahead of
schedule.
