 The brilliant and roderly retreat which the German arInor has made out Of the pocket west of the Fac laise-Argentan road has won the Germans at best a reprieve of . week or two. Time forces now opposed to them are relatively much stronger than they were when the Americans thrust their first thin armored finger out through Le Mans and Alencon to start enc clrcllng the bulk of the German Seventh Army.
 But von Kluge has saved the one hard mobile force at his dis. posal capable of challenging Allied progress across the approaches to the Reich. So far as is known on the Allied side. Adolph Hitler has no other Panzer group or any of his cracking fronts except six or seven divisions battling on the east bank of the vistula around Warsaw.

 The Nazis were ordered to stand and die in Chartres, but they quit after French patriots inside the city rebeiled when the Americans ssormed in from the west.
 The whiriwind American thrust on Paris also menaced the rear of the German armies battling to es- cape annihilation in the Normandy pocket.
 Front dispatches gave a contra dictory picture of the flghung around the pocket. One United Press reporter at the front said 5O,- 600 Germans were trapped hope. lessly in Normandy, following the Canadian capture of Faiaise, at the eastern end Of the escape corridor.
 other information reaching Cor" rell with the Americans said the trap had been broken and that the bulk Of the Eth Army had escaped to the east.
 All accounts Of the march on Paris and the Seine river. however agreed that the Americans were riding roughshod through relatively feeble enemy resistance.
 German reports said It. Gen. George s. Patton's American Ihird Army was spearheading the drives on Paris and Orleans. but there was no immediate word from Allleo sources that Patton had turned away from slaughteTing the trapped Seventh Army for the new otiensive'
 The battle of the Normandy pock- ct. meanwhile. appeared to be near. ing a disastrous end for some 5O.OOO Nazis still pinned down under the converging guns and armor or three Allied armies.
 Veteran Canadian infantFymen storrned through the burning town of Falaise and pushed on 1000 yards to the south and east last night while American and British troops from the west and south drove as much as seven miles into the een- ter of the pocket.
