LONDON, Aug. 24-tP-A stam-
pede Of Adolf Hitler's unhappy sat-

minent today as indications grew
that Nazi leaders fear revolt in

In Sofia, Bulgaria, already on
record in public statements of he
premier and foreign minister that
she was anxious to get out of the
war, maintained unbroken contact
with the Allies and the expectation
in London was that the Bulgars

Patriots were reported in full
control of the area from Grenoble
north to the Swiss border, having

Nazi forces in northern Italy.
Except in and near the naval
base of Toulon, where trapped
German garrison fought from well
prepared positions, the only ene-

Patch's Seventh army columns
was coming from small and mot
ley assortments of Nazi troops
scraped together in some localities.
Thrown piecemeal into the hope
less task of trying to hold back
the powerful American and French
forces, these small units were be-
ing destroyed as fast az they APP
peared. Allied prison pens were fill
ing so rapidly that an accurate
count of captives was impossible.
More than 1900 had been tabulat-
ed.

great port Of Marseille close on
the heels of conquering French
troops and began assessing t h e
damage done to harbor installations
by bombs and demolitions. Work be

biggest port back into shape to

Re entry into Marse1lle was a
sweet triumph for the French
troops, among whom were many
who sailed from the same port to
refuge in North Africa when the
Nazi panzer hordes crashed across
their homeland more than four
years ago.
There were unconfirmed reports
that the Germans had sunk some
vessels in the approaches to Mar
seille Harbor, but it appeared GER
tain that possession of the port
would relieve the Allied supply ser.
vices of the necessity of unloading
thousands of tons of supplies on
beaches from shallow draft land

The possibility was expressed
that other troops might be shipped
to the area for training.
Contrary to all indications that
Camp Davis would be closed with
removal of troops, only the IA
troops are being shipped, it was
pointed out. The Fourth Service
Command troops, with headquar-
tiers in Atlanta. Ca, will maintain
operation of the camp.
Effective September 30, the IA
training center will close, with the
deadline for clearance of all COM
bat battalions set for that date,
the PRO said.
The shipping orders affecting
many thousands of LA troops, and
units in the training center, will
send the majority of the men over
seas. The remainder will receive
assignment in tn States while
awaiting combat orders.
The AA school will cease oper-
atoms at Camp Davis on Septem-

American, French Troops
Come To Patriots Aid

SUPREME HEADQUAR-
TIERS ALLIED EXPEDI-
TIONARY FORCE, Friday,
Aug. 25.-(B - American
troops and a French armored
division, meeting heavy Ger
man artillery resistance, bat
tied in and near the Paris sub
urbs. early today in their
drive to join patriots fight
ing the enemy in the streets
for complete liberation OF
their capital.
Supreme Headquarters broke its
silence yesterday on the confused
situation inside Paris-whose lib
Grafton was celebrated in United
Nations capitals throughout the
world Wednesday - and declared
the city could not yet be consider
ed entirely free of the Nazi yoke.
A dispatch from Edward D. Ball
Associated Press correspondent
with the Allies near Paris, said
one column of Brig. Gen. Jacques
lie Clerc's French armor had driven
a wedge into German-held territory
from the west and another from
the south had advanced to within
nine miles Of Paris. These columns
met fierce German artillery fire.
Allied field guns moved up to en-
gage the enemy batteries.
(The Paris radio, now in the
hands of the FIJI, sad in a broad
cast recorded by CHS that troops
of lie Clerc, passing through Pont
de Sevres, have entered Paris.
(The Radio de la Natione Fran
caise broadcast that some OF LIE
Clerc's- fighters along with some
Americans had reached Paris and
that the bulk was expected to
reach the capital with Gen. Charles
de Gaulle sometime today. The
broadcast, recorded by NBC, said
preparations already were being
made for De Gaulle's triumphal
entry.)
b. A free French broadcast, early
today said German guns were vio-
lently bombarding sections of Par
is. One section being shelled, the
radio said, was the fifteenth dis
trict lying opposite suburban Cla-
mart, where it placed advancing
French. and American forces.
The French radio also broadcast
an urgent appeal for help, de-
claring the townhall in the 18th
district wa being attacked by
Germans and that Patriots were
running out of ammunition. This
district lies in the east of Paris
and includes the Place de la Re-
publique, where barracks of t h e
Republican guard were situated.

estimates of most state cleo

proximateiy nine per cent of

Estimates of the number of
