BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press,
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
and Undersecretary of War Patter-
son asserted last night that with
Cur boys fighting into France" this
is no time for strikes or quarrels
over profits.
The two officials said in a joint
statement:
"Our behavior on the home front
at this critical hour will determine
whether we can look those boys
squarely in the eye when they come
back home" M
Chiefs of the two big branches OF
organized labor pledged their forces
to uninterrupted production in sup
port of the invasion.
Never by thought, word or action,
Philip Murray, president of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, wrote President Roosevelt,
will we be untrue to our fighting
men and to the great goal OF our
victory effort"
President William Green of the
American Federation OF Labor, in a
telegram to the presidents of all
affiliated national and international
unions, called on American workers
to consider themselves part of the
invasion forces and to maintain
production uninterrupted under
any and all circumstances"

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS

Covering the opening of the

reporter dreams of having once IN q
lifetime and wouldn't want two If he
lived a thousand years.
Battle correspondents landing
with the troops in France probably

soft beach" you always have a

Headquarters reporters are queer
breed of neWspapermen, who, in adj

by their craft, also must be some
thing of cross between a grey
hound and lightning typist.
Work at Front Easier"
Reporters in the field, for the first
few days after an invasion starts
usually lack an established channel
to get their accounts back to the
nearest cable. They just hand their
copy to the nearest passenger pigeon
or public relations officer and trust
that in the fullness of time it will
get back to civilization. Then they
can relax and go back to watching
battles, ducking bullets and trying
to find a laundry.
All in all, that's pretty easy COM
pared to the horrors of the three
daily headquarters press conferences
which break up in a mad scramble
for telephones, during which no
body's life or limbs are safe.

Some Of First Waves

ABOARD FLAGSHIP OFF THE
FRENCH COAST, June 6 (De-
layed) American infantrymen,
landing on Frances Normandy
coast between Cherbourg and lie
Havre, plunged inland quickly at
one point today, while another
unit was pinned to the beach by
machine-gun fire before 1t could
advance.
Hitting the beaches slightly be-
hind schedule shortly after $50 am,
one regimental combat team on the
right flank chose a 31a -mile stretch
on which to operate 1t slit through
some enemy forces, bypassed others
and messaged 1t was moving inland
an hour after landing.
Other combat troops were i'm
modified at the start by fierce
machine-gun fire poured on them
from behind ridge some 800 yards
beyond highwater mark.
Fought Out Of Foxholes.
For several hours the men were
forced to hold on in foxholes, but
finally they fought their way out.
The unit suffered from mines
which knocked out several tanks
which managed to get on or close
to shore. Artillery flre also was q
problem although this seemed
largely neutralized by prolonged
bombardment before landings.
The battleships Arkansas and the
French cruisers Montcalm and
George Leygues moved in to an
amazingly short range to help bold
little destroyers give all possible
help to the temporarily stranded
force.
| Meanwhile, Allied air and sea
domination remained complete, with
the Luftwaffe not even represented
by q single hostile plane over the
fleet that was spread over hun
dreds of square miles of sea. The
German Navy was equally con.
spicuous in its absence.
Tanks Pin Down Defenses.
After a 40-minute naval bonn
bardment, the first tanks slipped
from Lots at 6 am. and at ap-
proximately $50 they were followed
by the first waves of infantry.
These first forces of foot soldiers
were light and helped the tanks
which fired from shallow water, te
pin down the enemy beach defense.
so demolition teams could blast cut
the obstacles in this section Of Hit

The landing craft streamed ir
steadily through rough waves tossed
up by westerly breeze. For the
first few hours there were no re-
ports of losses from the two Amer.
lean landings except from small
number of capsizings.
Before the troops went ashore the
battleships and cruisers bombardec

Destruction Of Bases
Possible Explanation
OF Luftwaffe Absence
BY the Associated Press.

Ss tHe ASScclateQ freSS.
LONDON, June 7.-Destruction of
German operational air bases by
Allied aerial bombardment was ad-
Vanced today as a possible reason
for the failure of the Luftwaffe to
show in force as the invasion of
Western Europe began and quick
ened in pace.
With the lack of air opposition
still matter of surprise to Allied
air officers, 1t was thought possible
that these bases on which the Ger
mans depended for close support of
their troops had been knocked out.
1t also was believed that para
troopers probably had captured
other fields.
So Nazi Planes Sacrificed.
Up until noon today the Nazis
had sacrificed only SO aircraft in
attempting to defend the beaches
while American and British air
forces flew more than $4,000 sorties
across the Channel in support of
ground operations.
Some air officers are convinced
there will be battle royal over
France before many weeks pass.
The Germans are known to have
1850 fighters and 500 bombers in
the west with about three-quarters
of the fighters based in the Reich to
defend the homeland from strategic
bombing attack. The Luftwaffe also
is suspected of having built up some
sort of reserve to repel invasion,
although there is no sign of it yet.
Allied Planes Brave Weather.
While the weather during initial
operations might have made some
Nazi air units cautious the Allied
air forces braved it, flying through
thunder clouds and smokescreens to
carry out their attacks. If the
Luftwaffe allowed planes to be
grounded by weather it let many
crucial moments slip by.
There is no doubt that one of
the major reasons the Allies were
able to land in daylight without
fearful casualties was the lack of
air opposition, but if the Germans
had thrown their full air strength
over the Channel yesterday they
might have very small Luftwaffe
left today.
