u. 5. Joins in Effort
To Rescue 1000 From
Annihi|aiion by Nazis|
,ey the Associated Press

!. By the Associated Press.
An inter-American effort will be
made TO rescue 1000 racial and polit-
ical refugees from Germany and
German-occupied territory before
they are subjected to treatment
which may annihilate the entire
group.
This was disclosed yesterday in
an announcement by Secretary of
State Hull that the United States
would participate.
The 1000 are now In special Nazi
concentration camps. They are
identif1ed with various racial and
political minorities, but hold travel
permits or other protective docu-
ments issued by various American
or other nom European governments.
It is the possession of these docu-
ments, enabling them to claim the
protection of some Allied or neutral
government, which sets them apart
from the untold thousands of Euro
peans held by the Germans.
Mr.. Hull made known this coun-
try's willingness to participate in
the joint program with other Amer
ican nations by releasing a letter to
DR.. Alberto GUAM, president of the
Emergency Advisory Committee for
Political Defense at Montevideo,
Uruguay.
DR.. Guani sent here May 81 a
resolution adopted by the commit
tee calling for joint action to ex-
change German nationals held in
this hemisphere for the European
refugees who possess papers" CIV
ing them a claim to be freed.
An explanatory statement released
with copies of the resolution said
the 1000 refugees have been seq
regated by the Germans with view
to exchanging them for German
nationals.
However. since they have not been
exchanged to date, the explanation
continued. the Germans have i1di-
Gated an intention to deprive them
of their special treatment and sub
ject them to the Usual brutal meas
ures for racial and political minori-
ties having no claim to protection.

In the tactical support Of the ground
forces.
The raids on the Pas-de Calais
coast nearest England followed
heavy Raj assaults on the same
area during the night. which in
turn came after a late daylight at
tack by American planes Friday.
The German airfields raided by
the 9th Air Force Fortresses and
Liberators this morning stretch in
great arc in the Paris, Boulogne
and Southern Normandy areas
nearly halfway around the Nor
mandy battle zone.
American Mustangs of the End
Tactical Air Force spattered Ger
man motor transport along the
she'll -pitted roads back of the Nor
mandy front while Raj fighters,
fighter-bombers and rocket-firing
planes shot up enemy positions,
troop concentrations and the Mezi-
don railway yards.
Ninth Air Force Mustangs and
Thunderbolts blasted an enemy air
field on the Cherbourg Peninsula,
and in direct aid to the Allied
ground forces attacked motor con-
voys, tanks and machine gun nests.
Other targets included a railroad
bridge south of st. Lo and yards,
railroad guns and tracks in the
same vicinity.
Aerial activity generally increased
during the afternoon as the weather
turned better. German planes still
we're not much in evidence, however.
Allied headquarters reported that
the aerial battle to destroy the go
or 10 railroad and highway bridges
across which the Germans must
move over the Seine, Oise and Loire
Rivers has produced highly sue
cessful results.
The Germans are doing every
thing they can to repair some OF
these bridges, headquarters report
ed, because their equipment and
supplies are so iammed up behind
them that Allied aircraft are given
inviting targets.
from tOQayS opefatlOnS, the 9tn
Air Force reported eight planes
missing-two Thunderbolts and six
Mustangs-the pilot of one having
landed behind the Allied lines.
The RAJ Coastal Command, con-
tinuing on the prowl for German
