NOT HIS DECISION
Klmmel said that II was not his
decision that the fun story has
not yet been told because for
more than two and q half years |
have been anxious to have the
American people know all the
facts
The RobertS report, upon
which YOU RELY" he told Tru-
man docs not contain the basic
truth OF the Pearl Harbor cat
aStrophe. This is evident from
the fact that no official action
has ever been taken upon the
basis of that report. The Con
grcSs of the United States. of
which YOU are a member. has
recognized the inadequacy Of
the Roberts report by directing
that the war and navy depart
ments undertake full inveSti-
CATION of the Pearl Harhor dis
aster.
II ask for nothing more than
an end 10 untruthS and half
truths about this matter. until
the entire story is given IN our
people, who, am convinced,
will be amazed by the truth"

Baldwin, Danaher
 Renominated Today

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 8.-(UP)- The Republican state convention, in perfect accord on candidates and policy, today unanimously ro-nom- mated U. s. Sen. Jchn A. Danahe. and Coy. Raymond E. Bald win after adopting a platform demanding a restoration of state rights.
 Danaher's name was placed be- fore the convention by State Rep. Charles s. Lngham. Haddam. who declared that during his term in the senate "he emerged as the in- telligent. informed person he is,'' and that two years ago, when Dan- aher was q, he was chosen by Washington correspondents "as the second most outstanding young sem ator."
 Rep. Joseph E. Talbot, Nauga- tuck, a candidate for renomination at the fifth district Republican con- vention soon, renominated Baldwin declaring him a man of the high est integrity. a man of whole cloth .. qualified to see that the boys who are fighting will be quickly placed in a good job in private in- dustTy" when the war is ended.
 Prediction
 Talbot declared that Baldwin's defeat four years ago-when his present Democratic opponent, Rob- ert A. Hurley, deposed him-was "one of those coat-tail things that will not happen in 1924"
 He rehearsed the governors ad- ministration, pointing out that Con- necticut was first to establish a de- tense council, and has the highest percentage of war production of any state" and it's agriculture output is one-third greater than normal years despite shortages of labor and mate- Fials. He also lauded the postwar aims of tine governor in appointing a special board to tackle the re- conversion problems.

Tanks Draw Moose Tight On Jap Foe

Pearl Harbor, Aug. 8.-(UP)-Air- supported American forces, advanc- ing three miles in one day, struck northward at the apex of huge bulge in the center of line across Guam today to drive the last ditch Japanese defenders into a tiny area at the northern end of the island.
 An undetermined number of en- emy troops, cut of from supplies and endorsements, were trapped in an area less than one tenth of the island
 A communique by Admiral Ches- ter W. Nimitz said Marines and Army troops, concentrated in the center of the line, captured the village of Yigo Sunday and over ran one-third of the remaining en- emy-held territory in the heavily wooded plateau section of northern Guam.
 The three-mile advance. which eliminated several enemy strong points, formed an arc in the Ameri- can line with anchorages at Haputo Point on the west and Lumuna Point on the east.
 The cOmmunique disclosed that carrier aircraft, in support of ground forces, bombed and strafed the Japanese Sunday near Mount Santa Rosa, one of the two remain- ing elevations adaptable for defense bastions. The U. s. line skirts the southern side of the mountain.

 Bomb Attack

London, Aug. 6 - CUP) - More than 600 American heavy bombers pounded enemy troop concentra- tions in support of the all-out AL lied offensive in the Caen sector to- day, while about 400 other flying fortresses and Liberators attacked enemy airdromes and flying bomb installations in northern France.
 During the shattering aerial as- sault to blast a way for advancing Canadians south of Caen. the Amer jeans dropped more than 10000 l0O- pound Augmentation bombs on German troops who were still dazed from the 6000-ton RAP bomber command attack only B hours earl- fer.
 Botll fleets bombed visually and each case they were protected by srtong forces of fighter planes.
 The new assault came as it was disclosed that other Eighth Air force heavy bombers operating from United States bases in Rus sia smashed the German synthetic oil refinery at Tresbinia, 20 miles west of Krakow.
 The same force which made { shuttle flight from England or Sunday to strike the German air. craft plant at Rahmel, 10 mile. northwest of the Baltic Port oi Gdynia, made the raid yesterday or Tresbinia, the eastern command oi the U. s. second tactical air force announced today in a communique from Moscow.
 As in the raid en route to the Soviet bases, none of the aircraft was listed as missing from the ate tack on Tresbinia. it was announc- ed. Accompanying fighter planes brought down three enemy planes and the bombers claimed the de- struction of one German plane, the eastern command reported.
 The crew members reported ex- cellent visibility over Tresbinia. Fire and explosions were observed in the target area, and a column of smoke rose l5,OO0 feet above ground. they reported. Only moderate flax was encountered.
 Today's raid of more than 800 bombers on troop concentrations and transport lines in the interior of France was made as front dis patches told of a smashing aerial attack against German defenses confronting Canadians on the of- fensive below Caen.

Exodus From London Continues

London, Aug. 6 - (U.PD The mass exodus of women and children from London continued today as l7000 mothers with youngsters over five years of age were moved in 22 special trains to safe areas despite the fact that for the third successive day the Nazi robot bomb assault was light.
 A number Of power bombs were launched throughout the night and early dawn against southern Eng land and the London area but a big proportion of them were shot down by ack aek batteries before they could cause damage.
 The reduced scale of the attacks was believed due to the enemy's shortage of supplies following al- most ineessant pounding of storage depots by Allied airforces,
 Night casualties were not eXten- siye, confined mostly to persons sleeping in houses which either re- eeiyed direct hits or were damaged by teh blast of exploding bombs,

Pole RivoIs StOIem0ted

Moscow, Aug. g. (U.P) - Nego- tiations between the two rival gov- ernments of Poland we're suspended at least temporarily today, but none in authority would say Stale- mate had been reached.
 It was possible that President Etanislaw Mikolajczk of the exile government wished to contact his cabinet in London before proceeding, further in his discussions with reps resentatives of the Soyiet-recognized Polish Committee of National Lib- eration.
 The delegates adjourned theiI third meeting in two days last mid- night without setting a date or time for new session.
 4 spokesman for Mikolajczyk had told neWsmen following an after noon conference yesterday that the negotiations had passed the eXplor- atory phase and were entering the stage of basic principles.
 The main points under considera- ton, he said, were a merger of the exile government ana the Natlonal Liberation Committee into a single authority and the matter of Poland's postwar frontiers,
 There has been some progress in the clarification of problems" he said. Tt is clear that We want an agreement, The Soviet government has intimated that an agreement between the National Committee and the London government would improve the prospects of an under standing between the Soviet govern ment and the Polish government.
 The spokesman described the at' mospheFe at the meetings as "eor- rect" aind mot hostile, Gonyersa- tions were conducted in the Polish language, he said, and no Russian or other allied afletals or observers were present,

London, Aug. 8-(UP)-B Berlin's treason trial of eight German of- ficers accused of attempting to kill Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime ended abruptly today with a dramatic confession" of guilt by all defendants. and the Transocean News Agency said the convicted men would be sentenced to death this evening.
 Official German accounts indi- cated that the conspirators, includ- ing Q field marshal and three gem erals. would be hanged publicly as examples of the ruthless Nazi re- tribution awaiting other known and suspected traitors in the German army.
 The confessions" came at the close of carefully staged two-day trial in the great plenary chamber of the provincial court in Berlin, where a hand-picked panel of Nazi judges and German general staff officers heard a damning indict- ment that charged the eight officers with attempting to murder Hitler on July 20 in order to take control of the government and sue for peace with the Allies.
 The condemned traitors were Field Marshal Erwin Von Witzleben, who. according to some German ac- counts, directed the anti Hitler con- spiracy; Col. Gen. Hoeppner, Maj.

"Break-In" Occurs Quickly Following Record Smelling
Supreme Headquarters,

Supreme Headquarters, AEF, August 8. - (UP) - Two Canadian and British armies, striking behind a tremendous rolling barrage of aerial bombs and artillery fire, crashed deep into the German battle lines below Caen in a full-scale drive on Paris today, while American flying columns from Brit tany cOnverged on Le Mans, little more than 100 miles from the French capital.
 At both ends of the twist ing 100-mile front Allied armored forces were tearing to shreds the long-prepared German defenSes barring the western and southwestern roads to Paris.
 The enemy'S left flank already was disintegrating under the lightning thrusts of It. Gen. Omar N. Brad ley's American tanks and mechanized infantry, and the right flank below Caen appeared to have been grave ly menaced by the New Cana dian-British offensive.
 The main Allied power apparently was concentrated on the Caen sector where the Canadian First Army pushed of shortly after midnight this morning and advanced almost four miles on both sides of the Caen- -Falaise highway in the first few hours.
 All initial objectives were taken in the opening phase of the attack and front reports indicated the Can. adians still were pounding ahead against strong enemy opposition.

Furious Fight Rages South Of Florence

Rome, Aug. 8. - (UP) Eighth Army troops pushing to the soutn- ern bank of the Arno river five miles southeast of Florence, encountered strong German positions today and were locked at once in furious bat tie. In the southern suburbs, other British soldiers prepared for a final assault against the ancient city.
 While Allied patrols crossed the Arno east and west of Florence in advance of the impending battle, Gn estimated 100000 refugees crowd cd in the British and German held sections of the city imperturbably carried on a normal routine.
 Despite the German shelling of southern Florence, Italian families carrying market baskets thronged the streets. It stlll appeared the city itself would escape becoming a major battlefield.
 British forces. trying to extenS their holdings on the southern hanl cf the Arno before launching the push aimed St driving the enemy notthward to his GotllIc line, were held up at hill known as Point 557. Germans there fought desper- ately aga!ns; being driven back against the southern bank of the Arno.
 At that point there were no sieni. cant changes in the lines, and the balance of the sector stretching from Florence to the Tyrrhenian sea was generally quiet.
