Death Unexplained
In Navy Statement
BY the Associated Press.

Capt. Norman S. Ives, U. s. NJ,
director of the port of Cher
bourg, France, has been killed in
action, the Navy disclosed today.
It gave no indication Of how the
47-year-old officer met death.
A veteran of duty with subma-
rines, Capt. Ives played a large part
in development of safety devices
which have saved the lives of many
men serving on submersibles.
He volunteered to command the
submarine Sd after she was raised
from the sea bottom off Province
town, Mass, and fitted out for safety
experiments in 1928. The S-4 had
been sunk in 1927 in a collision.
Among safety devices developed
aboard the S-4 was the lung"
which has made possible the escape
of many crewmen from sunken sub
marines. Capt. Ives won the Navy
Cross for his work on the S-4.
A native of Galesburg, ILL.,, Capt.
Ives was named port director at
Cherbourg last month. He was the
first Allied naval officer to become
director of captured French port.
He arrived in Cherbourg only few
hours after the port was captured.
His duties included direction Of

Canadians smashed through the
Germans second defense line to
a point 16 miles below Caen.
Berlin broadcasts said mo-
torized American forces had
raced on through LIE Mans, a
major rail center of $4,000 per-
sons, to within 81 miles of Paris.)
The Canadian plunge carried

Nazis Refuse Ultimatum.
On the Breton Peninsula the

after the German garrison refused
a surrender ultimatum.
Both the. Americans and Cana

100 miles-an dperhaps closer-to
Paris in a great pincers drive on
the French capital.
A strong counterattack against
the British bridgehead over the
Orne River south of Caen was re-
PEELED with slight loss of ground.
The bridgehead still is secure.
LIE Plessis and Germoult, south of
Mont Pincon, have been captured.
The Americans in the Mortain
area captured ST. German, Les
Nudieres and La Pinsonnieres. 1t
was in this area that four German
tank divisions mounted the heaviest
counterattack yet made against the
Americans in France
800 to 1000 Nazis Seized.
The Canadian 1st Army has CAP

While LuII Prevails
Over Most of Front
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, Aug. 9.-BritiSh and
Indian forces have recaptured
Monte Grillo and have beaten of
five enemy counterattacks on its
slopes in furious fighting north
and northwest of Arezzo, Allied
headquarters announced today
as a lull prevailed over most of
the Italian front.
A communique described the sit
uation in and around Florence as
virtually unchanged, with only
patrol activity in the immediate
vicinity of the great art center.
There were no further reports of
the Germans Smelling the southern
part of the city. Associated Press
War Correspondent Lynn Heinzer-
ling, who has been with the 9th
Army inside the city in recent days,
said the German batteries had been
directing their fire at targets out
side the southern limits and there
was nothing to indicate damage to
the city itself.
Situation in Florence Confused.
There were conflicting reports,
however, on conditions within the
heart of Florence on the north bank
of the Arno.
The British troop paper Union
Jack said life was going on nor
mally inside Florence, but that the
water supply was short and black
marketers were selling water at 20
lire per bottle (The lire had a
prewar value Of about cents.)
On the other hand the Canadian
troopsheet. Maple Leaf, said an
Italian who had forded the Arno
and reached the Allied lines de-
clared that Central Florence is be-
ing Systematically looted by the
Germans" and that the citizens are
confined indoors. He also asserted
that fighting between Fascists and
anti-Fascists had broken out in one
section.
In the Arno loop east of Florence
the enemy continued to resist
strongly along his 5la mile bridge
head on the southern bank of the
stream, extending from a point 4
miles east of the city's edge to 3
miles south of Pontassieve.
British Capture Monastery.
Near the middle of that line Brit
ish infantry captured a monastery
on hilltop and seized a number
OF enemy prisoners.
Another pocket of the enemy re-
mains on the south bank between
Empoli and Monte Lupo. The 9th
Army has secured Monte Lupo, but
Empoli was commanded by enemy
guns and remained in no-man's
land.
From the 5th Army front came an
announcement that American ar

There was no indication whether
the tanks were on the northern OF
southern side of the Arno.
The Germans still hold some
ground in the Arno bend to the east
Of Pisa. Both the Americans and

Rival Polish Leaders
Leaving Moscow as
Negotiations Lapse
Further Negotiations
Delayed at Least Until
Moscow Is Captured
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Aug. 9.-Rival Po-
lish regimes failed to agree today
on a plan of fusion and leaders
are returning to their respective
headquarters in London and
Lublin with renewal of nego-
tiations delayed at least until
after the Russians capture War
saw.
Premier Stanislaw Mikolaj czyk
consulted the American and British
Ambassadors late today after the
Soviet-sponsored Polish Committee
Of National Liberation said his ex-
lied government in London was
clinging to the "dictatorial" consti-
tuition OF 1885, blocking formation
OF q democratic provisional gov
eminent" He probably viii leave
for London tomorrow.
President Morawski Of the COM
mittee departed for Lublin.
Both sides left the way open for
talks in the indefinite future, but
indicated they preferred to wait
until the Germans are driven from
Warsaw, the Polish capital. which
could be the scene Of their next
deliberations.
Other Differences.
The committee, recognized by
Russia, insisted on restoration of
the 1921 Constitution as more DEM
ocratic than the 1885 document. 1t
is known, however, that other funda-
mental differences exist which could
be ironed out, If at all, only by
lengthy individual consideration.
The Russian attitude officially Is
unchanged: The Soviets are favor
able to a settlement of the internal
Polish problem by the Poles them
selves.
No announced progress has been
made toward unified Polish gov
eminent. More hopeful diplomats
said future conference might sue
coed. Mr.. Mikolajczyk now knows
the basic terms which he and other
Poles in the London regime must
meet If they intend to collaborate
with the committee.
After two days of silence, the So
Wet press today renewed its attack
on Gen. Kazimierz Sosnkowski, wal
minister for the London Polish gov
eminent, as Soviet-hating impe-
rialist. A Red Star article, saying
there were reports that Polish off,
GERS in Italy were planning a Euro
pean federation to be dominated by
Poland, declared, "the Polish people
regard these plans - with a feel
ing of repulsion."
Night Conference.
A source close to Mr.. Mikola jczyk
indicated that last nights confer
ence at the Kremlin among his
group, the Liberation Committee
and Soviet Foreign Commissar
Vyacheslav Molotov had left the
door open for continuance of nego-
tiations between the two Polish fac
tons.
A member Of Mr.. Mikola jczyk's
London Polish group described the
atmosphere of the meeting as
friendly.
The conference marked the FIRST
time that representatives of the two
rival Polish regimes and the Soviet
Union had sat down at the same
conference table. The previous
meetings here on the question OF
Polish unity were attended only by
Poles.

Byrnes Order Called
Best Reconversion
Step by Gen. Clay
WPB Inventory Held
Suppressed for Fear
Of Misinterpretotion
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Byrnes order establishing
mandatory labor controls was
described today by Maj. Gen.
Lucius D. Clay as "the greatest
forward step yet taken" to ia
cilitate the reconversion of in
dustry to civilian production.
The director of materiel for the
Army Service Forces said the order
provides a plant-by-plant check on
conversions on a basis of labor sup
ply, which is critical, instead of the
old basis Of materials, which no
longer are problem.
Asked about the suppression of a
WPB report which was said to give
q more optimistic summary of pres
ent Army supply levels than recent
War Department statements-and
the offer of designations by its au-
thors because it was suppressed
Gen. Clay said the report was a gen.
eral inventory which the Army felt
might tend to obscure critical needs
for specific weapons.
General Feels Army Justified.
Gen. Clay was reluctant to discuss
the suppressed report, but said that
Stacey May, director of WPB's Blu
reau of Planning and Statistics, felt
that its withdrawal was justified by
the Army's apprehension OF possible
misinterpretation.
Two of Mr.. Mays assistants, Vic
tor L. Bassie, director of the prog
ress division, and Irving Kaplan
chief of the production program
analysis section, who prepared the
report, were said to have submit
ted their designations when Mr.. May
did not use it in a monthly report
to key war agency officials.
Gen. Clay said requirements
from combat theaters have been *
sharply increased that production
goals for the second half Of thu
year have become critical problems
Design Changes Cause Lag.
Manpower has been the key tx
these problems, the general said
even In radar, where he admitted
that design changes accounted fol
ia small portion Of the lag. Five
major plants producing radar equip.
ment now employ 10000 persons
but they need 1000 more now anc
an additional 1000 by Christmas.
