With the American Army in Nor- mandy, July 12.-At one time Beau mont Hague was a sleepy little town in Normandy. It's slow, stocky, hard working inhabitants were content to eke their meager living from the soil. They have changed but little since Jean Francis Millet, who was born but two kilometers away, caught their patient spirit and set it down on canvas.
 When the Germans moved in on them, things went bad and the pro- duce of the farms which they had tiled and sowed went to feed the hungry maws of their conquerors.
 For four years they toiled, get- ting little for their work. Then the Americans took Cherbourg. Not many days later It. Arden Brill, of Aberdeen, s. D., a baseball and foot ball star at the State College, gave orders for the infantry to move for ward. It had been raining all night and the roads were thick with mud when the boys started on at half past eight in the morning. They made their way cautiously through mine field.

Treatment of Veterans in Reassignment Centers.
 to Be PrObed

Washington, July 12- (UP) A national leader of the Veterans of Foreign Wars expressed confidence today that the Army and Navy will clean up" conditions in military reassignment centers where, the VFW charged, probably thou sands" of veterans returning from overseas have been abused and de- nied rightful privileges.
 Omar B. Ketchum, national legis. lative representative of the VFW, said that while i've still have no reason to believe the situation has been completely cleaned up," Sec- retary of Navy James Forrestal and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson had acknowledged his report that the rights of returning veterans had been mishandled by officers and commissioned officers at do- nestle military posts.
 Ketchurn said VFW files contain ing nearly 100 complaints from serv- icemen indicated that probably thousands of men have returned from overseas only to be abused by their superiors, denied proper fur. loughs and leaves and, in many cases, be reassigned to foreign duty without chance to visit home"
 Forrestal answered the first let ter from Ketchum with a request for additional, specific information. He added that T am confident that responsible officers are administer ing fairly" Navy policies which pro- vide specified leaves for sailors re- turned to the continental United States from duties overseas or af1oat.

 reader of the Democrat from Cape Cod Mass in grate- full appreciation of tribute penned in memory of her father, Edward Ferr, by the Out Easter All of which leads to add with equal sincerity and appreciation that the "Out Easter modest chap that he iS to con- ceal his identity under de plume does write some very interesting tributes In fact his comments indicate deep love for the Out East" section, an intimate knowledge of communitys history it's neghborly people,

 essonal life of Waterbury, His stories often times turn back few pages in the citys history, such his euogy of the late Sergeant Patrick Hayes, when learned much of the early beginning of the presentday police department. He writes interestingly and his comments carry what is termed punch. But the most out standing observation to record is that when he sits down to write of friend who has passed on he gathers up
 few choice selections of owery words and fashions them into beautiful bouquet of forget-me-nots. He high
 lights the virtues of his former friends and neghbors He leaves to members of the deceaseds family legacy of happy thouG that someone too shared feeling of love and respect for the they mourn.

Riggs National stands 64th, Ameri-
can Security, 155th; Hamilton Ma

Illinois.
Banks Get Token Requests.
Washington banks have recently
been accepting from ration GUS
toners applications for tokens which
will be used in the near future in
dealings between the retailer and
