Cherbourg Peninsula Is Called
Natural Pathway for Invasion

The Cherbourg Peninsula, the
point on the Normandy coast chosen
by Allied commanders for the initial
invasion thrust, forms natural
pathway into France, the Associated
Press said today in an analysis of
the geography Of the invasion coast.
The neck of land, from 25 to go
miles wide, extends out 10 miles
toward the English coast and the
great port of Cherbourg, on the tip
Of the peninsula, is only IS miles
from Bournemouth, England
At the point where the first land
ings were made the coastline curves
In great crescent from Cherbourg
to LIE Havre. There is much shoal
water, number of rocky beaches
and. at frequent intervals, treacher-
Gus tidal conditions, the Associated
Press dispatch asserted.
However once a foothold is es-
tabhshed. the Allies can attack along
either side of the peninsula, protect
ed on the flank by the sea. Pene-
trations inland would clear all of
Normandy and open a clear path
down the valley Of the seine River

end of the beachhead established
today, is but 100 air line miles from
the former French capital.
1t. Col. Victor NJ Morrison of the
French military mission here, in
broadcast today over the Columbia
Broa6casting System, wildly de-
scribed the section of France where
the flercest fighting is now taking
place.
Between Carentan and Cher
bourg," Col. Morrison said, "the
beach can be used easily for landing
purposes. Inland in the Caen re-
gion the country is rather fiat and
is known as the Plain of Caen. This
is ideal terrain for armored cars
and motorized vehicles"
Along the coast from Cherbourg
to LIE Havre, where the landings
were made, Col Morrison explained,
small ports such as Grand Camp
and Bort En- Bessin and Trouviile
can be very useful at the beginning
of an invasion. A canal running
from the sea to Caen, a city of
1000 population, can accommo.

Allied Expeditionary Force. June 6
In this military Shangri-La. clev-

Adolf Hitler would have squan-

much Of his wealth to have learned
1t, even up to few hours ago.
But today he was given 1t free

his life and power eventually. The

H hour"
D-day was military terminology
for the day of the great Allied at
tack H-hour was the exact hour
British, Canadian and American
soldiers we're expected to set foot on
the soil Of Western Europe.
Dates Set for Operations.
Hard supply necessities and the
complications of modern amphibi-
Gus warfare made 1t necessary that
these two factors be known months
in advance.
The dates were set for the arrival
Of troops. guns and tanks. The dates
for air attacks on specific objec-
tives. Dates for establishing bases.
Dates for the capture Of key ports.
Dates are not figures on the calen-
dar. They are scheduled in termi-
nology like this: D-plus-five, or D.
minus The first means five days
after the troops land. The second
means six days before the day for
attack.
Hundreds of thousands of lives
depended on 4 successful D-day
choice. II the weather was bad and
the water rough thousands of SOL
diers might be drowned In the
Itreacherous surfs off the European

Two More Children
Treated for Rat Bites

| As the Commissioners discussed
yesterday proposed ordinances to
require mandatory rat-proofing Of
buildings, the Health Department
reported that two more children had
been bitten by rats.
The two children were Lawrence,
9, and Michael Davis, 4, of the 1400
block of Swami street NV. They
were treated for bites on the arm,
nose ana ear at Children's Hos
pital.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
that it had been found that vari-
GUS requirements in the proposed
ordinances could be enforced under
present regulations. The plan sub
mitted to the city heads last month
| called for mandatory rat-proofing
of existing buildings and new build
ings.
Mr.. Mason said that rat-proofing
of new buildings could be required
under the building code, while pres
ent buildings found harboring rats
can be condemned as nuisances.
Legislation, it was believed would
be necessary to require rat-proofing
of present buildings without a rat
nuisance.
The regulations are now being re-
studied by Health Officer George
c. Rutland and Maj. william H.
Cary, jr.. director of the Bureau
of Sanitation. Public hearings will
be held, with requests having been
received for an opportunity to dis
cuss the proposals from real estate
dealers and private exterminating
firms.
