Mobilization and to erase the scars
of war, which despite the savagery
of the last days Of fighting were
not Sc severe as first feared.
The German garrison in Paris

One German strong point still
held out in the Champigny sector

NEWSMEN ARRIVE
AT SWISS BORDER

MOILLESNULAZ, on the French
Swiss frontier, Aug. 26.-(R)-Four
war correspondents arrived mere
today in a jeep after travelling
more than 200 miles from the Rlv'
iera beachhead northward through
Maquis-held territory.
The correspondents were Edward
Kennedy of the Associated Press;
Philip Jordan of the London News
Chronicle; Carleton Kent OF the
Chicago Times and Graham How
ey of International News Service.
The jeep driver was Pvt. Douglas
Hooey, rs, Of Sussex, N. j.,
The party was well ahead Of
u. S. Seventh army units.
American troops are moving
ahead to cut off the Germans in
the southern sector, but their ap-
pearance in number at this Dor
der is not now expected.
Z The French themselves have
cleaned out the Haute Savoie. Ken
nedy said they "are running it
well, with order well established,
50 that it is unnecessary for the
Americans to enter the area. They
have more vita lwork to do in
chasing the Germans"
(Kennedy's own story OF his jour-
ney had to be submitted to cen
sorship of the Allied Mediterranean
command, to which he is accredit-
ed, and hence is delayed.)
Kennedy said the trip turned out
TO be a series of welcomes by
thousands of Frenchmen in every
town. At Chambery, Annecy, and
Annemasse he and his comrades
were guests of honor, escorted
down festive streets to the cries
of "vive les Americans.
Frenchmen at these places await
ed the arrival of American troops
and were disappointed when they
did not show up.
! At Annemasse the newspaper .
men arrived just in time for the
funeral of four patriots, the last
killed in that sector southeast OF
Geneva in the last battle with the
Nazis. Kennedy and his colleagues
served as an American honor guard
for the ceremony which 1000
French attended.

Before construction of the channel

Ocracoke Island is wholly depend

its supply of food and fuel. Silver
Lake Harbor also acts as harbor
of refuge at this exposed locality
to the commercial fishing fleet op-
Grating there and to recreational
craft visiting Pamlico Sound. The
original dredging was completed in
August 942. Restoration of project
dimensions will enable navigation
interests to take full advantage OF
the channel and harbor which are
so badly needed at this location.

This waterway affords passage
