ALLIES POUND OUTER PARIS | NE
 ONE COLUMN 46 MILES FROM CAPITAL
Nazi Communications Are Reported Falling To Pieces
Headquarters,

Supreme Headquarters. AEF, August III. - UPl - The outer defenses of Paris, barely l6 miles west of the capital, were reported under attack by American armOred columns today as It. Gen. Omar N. Bradley's tanks and infantryEnen famed out along an 8O-mile front in a multi-prOnged drive that also menaced Orleans and the entire German rear in Nor mandy.
 Front reports said the fast-rolling Americans had driven s tO almost 70 miles beyond the shattered Sarthe river line last night and were still smashing eastward to- day. against. disOrganized German resistance.
 An Allied radio transmit ter in France said forward clements were Storming Cha teaudun, 70 miles southwest of Paris, and the U. s. Army newspaper Stars and Stripes reported that another Yam kee column was nearing Chartres, 46 miles from the capital.
 The Americans at Cha teaudun were only 28 miles northwest of Orleans, whose capture would virtually iso- late Paris from all of south- western France.
 There was every indication that Mad communications were falling to pieces under the lightning Amer ican thrust, and that the enemy commanders themselves gere lIncer- tain as to where the main attack was pointed.
 Allied headquarters spOkesmen, consequently. refused to reveal the exact location Of the American Gpearheads.
 They hinted broadly. however. that one wing Of Bradley's striking force vas wheeling n0rthward across the lines of communication of the shattered enemy division holding out in the Mortalnyire salient and on the British front below Caen.

 American troops were disclosed tO have swung east and northeast of Mayenne in an apparent enyelop- ing maneuyer that brought them within 27 miles of M0rtain, where the Germans mad committed four PanzeF divisions to Q bloody and ufl- successful attempt to split the Allied forces ia Normandy from the Amer jeans in Brittany.
 The new speadhead also was only lS miles southwest Of Falaise, one Of the main anchors Of the German right flank in Normandy.

3 .. S.-Jap Sisters Found
 Guilty Of Conspiracy

Denver, Colo. Aug. tt-(DPD- Three Japanese-Ameriean sisters were convicted today of conspiracy to commit treason by helping two German soldiers escape from a camp for war prisoners.
 The jury found the sisters inno- cent of the more serious charge of treason under which they could have been sent to the gallows.
 The sentence will be imposed by Federal Judge J. Poster SymeS. The maximum punishment is two years Imprisonment and a fine Of SlO!OOO
 Tine sisters defense had been that they were not mOtiyated by treason but by love when they helped the Germans flee the prison camp.
 They showed no emotion as the sealed verdict. which had been reached by the jury last night. was read in court.
 Judge Eymes said he believed the verdict was fair and added that ne did not believe the defendants were guilty of treason, because they ap- paFently had no intention Of helping the Reich
 The defendants are Mrs. Tsuruko (To0ts) Wallace, Mrs, Billie Tapi- gOshi, and Mrs. Florence fFlo) Otani, During their tFlal, a pboto- graph was exhibited showing Mrs. Wallace in the embrace Of one e the Nazis, who escaped and later was recaptured. The Germans were the principal witnesses against the sisters at the trial.
 Kenneth Robinson, c0nFt-appolilt- ed dfeense counsel, said that he might file a motion for a new trial. Judge Symes granted three days m which to file the motion, and said he would not pass sentence nDtD that period had elapsed,
 T1le government mad described the deienGants as 'Benediet Arn0lds in skirts" but Robinson had insisted that the sisters a.ded the kaZls only because it was 'the old story Of what a man can do with a gOBan,' The sisters had met the NaEs while they were working on an onion farm near Trinidad, Colo,

Moscow. Aug. n -- CUP) = The First ukrainian Army drove a giant wedge across Southern Poland to within is miles or less of Kielce to- day. threatening to split the Ger man armies in Poland and outfiank Warsaw from the south.
 Two other Red Armles-the First and Second White Russian - ad- vanced up to l7o miles in coordin- ated assaults designed to crumple the German defenses between War; saw and East Prussia and ultimately outfianked the embattled Polish capital from the north.
 The Germans were putting up their bitterest defense of the sum- mer offensive and front dispatches said the Maxi command had thrown caution to the winds in hurling tank reserves against Russian mos bile guns and anti-tank artillery along a 360-miles from Riga to Warsaw.
 Whole German divisions were bee ing sacrificed in a frantic race with time to permit the Todt organiza. ton to complete the fertilization Of East Prussia and to enable the Wehrmacht to reorganize its bat- tered forces for the defense of both East Prussia and Warsaw
 In the last 2a hours alone, the Russians knocked out l99 German tanks along the Riga Warsaw line to bring the toll of enemy armor in the past three days to 47s. Tn addi- tion, ias German planes have been shot down in the 72-hour period.
