kRNOLD'S PRESS ORDERS
GET LITTLE NOTICE
(Los Angeles Times)

Some time ago General H. H. Arnold,
chief of the Army Air Forces, declared
that the press and the public are entitled
to full details concerning crashes OF
Army planes which do not occur at mill
tary reservations or do not involve exper-
mental craft, and that orders had been
issued accordingly No doubt they were,
but after th9. recent crash on strawberry
Peak efforts of reporters and photog-
raphers to obtain details and photo
graphs were hampered in every possible
way by the Army group on the job at
the scene.
The public relations office of the 9th
Ferrying Group apparently attempted to
cooperate with press representatives but
seemingly was ineffective. The fact that
the public, which pays the bills for the
vast military effort, is entitled to know
all details of military activities if their
publication will not benefit the enemy
appears not to weigh with certain types
of Army officers, both commissioned and
noncommissioned Such officers are
afraid of responsibility, apparently. In
stead of the liberal Interpretation of reg
ulations sanctioned by General Arnold
thev lean over backward for strict sup
preston.
This is not always the case, to be sure,
but it is true in an annoyingly large num-
Der of Instances.
Everybody will benefit if the Army
will not attempt to hinder legitimate news
coverage.
True peace will not be achieved until
there is a rebirth Of sound theological
and spiritual values. It's pace cannot be
forced - President Eduard Benes of
Czechoslovakia.

The American 9Th Army Friday

northern Dutch New Guinea. Four
5-inch guns and large quantities OF

en- miles from the west coast, IN
swift exploitation of German
disorganization.
The two American divisions had
heavy support from artillerymen.
Whitehead said their fire already
had effectively cut the west coast
road.
Headquarters communique NO.
"a issued just before midnight
merely announced that "Alied
forces have pushed deeper into
Normandy in gains which swept
through St. Sauveur and reached
the Vire-Et-Vaute canal south OF
Isigny. Villages east and west
of Tilly-Sur-Suelles on the Brit
ish end of the front also were
captured, it said.
Within Gun Range
Front dispatches said the Cher
bourg peninsula already had been
virtually cut in two since hte west
coast road now was within range
of American light artillery and
fighter-bombers also were strafing
it. Attainment of the coast west
of St. Sauveur would lop off a
500-square-mile area at the top of
the peninsula.
Bradley, said there were no
signs of a German evacuation of
the port whose facilities would
speed the flow of Allied reinforce
ments into Normandy, although an
American a.rman who flew over
the area reported seeing German
trucks and staff cars moving
southwark from Cherbourg in a
possible attempt to escape the
closing American moose.
Bradley indicated the Germans
might try to make another Sevas-
topol out of Cherbourg, fighting
desperately in the hope that Ger
man reinforcements could break
through to them.
While British troops beat off
fierce German counterattacks in
the Caen-Troarn sector at the east
ern end of the 100-mile front, the
U. S. Sind Airborne division fan
ned out in three directions from
st. Sauveur. whose seizure on
Friday cut the last German rail-
way into Cherbourg. The town.. 10
miles south of the port, also is
on a main road leading into Cher
bourg.

borne troops on high ground COM

within five miles of La Haye Du
Puts, a junction on the highway.
Another Column Advances
Another American column ad-
vancing from Pretot was within
four miles of La Haye on the
northeast. That town probably al
ready was under artillery fire.
A heavy German counterattack
in an effort to break this Amer
lean strangulation was expected
by the Allied command. but in
it's first special communique on
the situation inside France, Allied
headquarters announced that pa
triots had delayed considerably
the movement of German reserves
to the combat zone' by smashing
bridges and railways and figk.a,ss g

queror.
Guerrilla operations against the
enemy are in full swing and in
some areas the army of the French

Maquis, guerrilla body, has
taken 300 German prisoners and
wiped out Nazi garrisons in some

On the fifth day of a furious

southeast of Cherbourg, a report
from the 21st Army group head
quarters of Gen. Sir Bernard L.

place was left to the executive COM
mittee.
The association committee on
legal medication and admission to
the bar included in its report a
break down of figurers tending
to show that graduates of acceler-
ated law courses do not meet the
standards required for passing the
North Carolina ex" minatlon for ad-
mittance to practice.
The report, presented byA. B.
Andrews of Raleigh, who is chair
man, said that of the nine acceler-
ated graduates taking the bar ex-
am in February, two passed and
seven failed. 1t said many recog-
nized schools had accelerated their
law courses providing for gradua-
ton in two and half years.
'In view of the experience of
seven of nine applic 2lts prepared
by the accelerated courses failing
TO pass the bar EXAM" a resolu-
ton said, 1.-The North Carolina bar
association does not look with IA
vor upon the shortening of h e
reading from three years prescrib-
ed by the board of law examiners.
Referring to the legal education
of returning war veterans, the COM
mittee's report said that in the
light of experiences gained after
the first World War, when advance
grades of instruction were given
by numerous private and publicity
owned schools, the state school
board should see that no institu-
ton be approved for instruction kin
law study at government or state
expense which does not meet the
standard of the Board of Law ex-
aminers.
All state or federally sponsored
law courses should be so arranged
as to fully qualify graduates to
take the North Carolina exafnina-
ton. To do otherwise would be a
waste of the tax payers money
and economically unsound."

The Paris radio reported the
town of Lisceuz in flames after
furious 10-minute raid. Lisceuz,
40 miles east of Caen, is an i'm
portant junction for roads running
to Caen and north to Trouville on
the coast.
The days operations on the ro-
bot plane targets cost the Allies
two heavy bombers and one
fighter. Three enemy planes were
shot down in aerial combat.
The u. S. Ninth Air Force an
nounced that $40 sorties had been
made over the Normandy battle
field by its fighters up to 6 p. m.
and disclosed that some of its
bombers were carrying explosives
loaded at airstrips on the beach
head.
Raj rocket-firing fighters join
ed in the tactical support of the
ground forces.
The raids on the Pas de Calais
coast nearest England followed
heavy Raj assaults on the same
area during the night, which in
turn came after a late daylight
attack by American planes Fri

shell-pitted roads back of the Nor
mandy front while Raj fighters,
fighter-bombers and rocket-firing
