LONDON, July 10.-Large forces
of Allied fighters and bombers
streamed across the English Chan

support of the British and American
troops advancing along the Nor
mandy battlefront.
During the night Raj Mosquito
bombers and Boston bombers ranged
deep within France to attack 10
trains and railroad installations
which lead to the German front.
The planes also strafed highway
conveys and blasted at the Seine
River bridges.
The Mosquito bombers also bomb
ed synthetic oil plant in the Rhur

attacked an unidentified military
objective in northern France.
Other Raj planes laid mines in
enemy waters. Not an aircraft was

Allied planes were reported lost in

same number of German aircraft
downed.

SEATTLE, July 10.-A postwar
world dominatcl economically by
the vast resources and great de-
velopment of territories bounding
the North Pacific Ocean is en-
by Vlcs President Henry
A. Wallace, who has just returned
from China, Siberia and Russia.
The postwar period, Wallace pre-
dicted IN his broadcast here Sun
day, will come to be known as the
ERA Of the Pacific" an era marked
by tremendous international air
lines and communications, develop
ment of great airports and places
now thinly populated
During the ceven weeks tour
the Vie President visited western
Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Russia,
and China, and he said:
Il am convinced the main area
of development after this war will
be new interprisc, new investment,
new trade, new accomplishments
will be in the new world of the
North Pacific and eastern Asia.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
cit. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-Two of the most
important diplomatic reports of the
war have been received at the
White House recently, not from any
trained diplomats but from two
private American citizens-Father
Orlemanski of Springfield, Mass,
and Professor Oscar Lange, Polish
American leader and teacher at
the University of Chicago, both of
whom had interviews with Stain.
Although less widely publicized
than Father OriemanskiS interview,
Professor Lang5 had long Separ-
ate talk with Marshal Stain and,
perhaps because he was not cir
cumscribed by church superiors, his
report, on the wnole, has been the
more penetrating and helpful.
Net conclusion drawn from the
Lange -Orlemansli reports is that
Polish Russian relations, one OF the
most troublesome problems OF the
war, are on the eve of a wholesome
reapproclaement, probably begin
ming about now.
1t was shortly alter the receipt
of the LANCE rlemansh reports
that President Roosevelt began a
series of three conferences with
Polish Premier Mikolajczky in
Washington, the results OF which
exceeded expectations.
If Polish Russian relations can
be settled amioably. one OF the
worst obstacles 70 postwar peace
will be removed. Poland, Tor a
hundred years partially governed
by Russia, has a deep-rooted sus-
picion Of the Soviet, while the Rus
slams, having borne the main brunt
of the European war on land, nat
urally feel they are entitled to
areas forcibly wrested away from
them after the last war.

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF
THE ALLIED ExPEDITTONARY
FORCE, July l0.--The Germans are
attempting to make stand at Fau-
borg Vaucelles following the capture
of Caen The British are pressing
in all directions against the Ger
mans with artillery and infantry.
Caen was captured after thumb
erous artillery assault. This city is
100 miles from Paris and opens a
favorable flat battle ground.
On the south end of the western
line, the American force matched
the British offensive in terrific
drive following the capture of La
Haye du Puts, bitterly defended by
the Germans.
The stronghold town of Caen was
so badly battered the British had to
bring up bulldozers to push the
rubble aside because vehicles could
not get within 500 yards of the
river.
The Germans suffered a serious
reverse In the last "a hours, the
Berlin communique says, but added.
they have not yet suffered a major
defeat in the field"

QUARTERS IN PEARL HARBOR,
July i0.-"Our forces have COM
pleted the conquest of Saipan,"
crossroads of Japan's Pacific supply
lines, is the announcement made to-
day by Admiral Chester w. Nimitz.
Organized resistance collapsed last
Saturday afternoon, ending a cam
paign of four weeks in the southern
Marianas Islands.
The Japs have lost at least So
ships, 900 planes and thousands OF
lives in the longest, bitterest and
most costly campaign in the Central
and Western Pacific.
Elimination of scattered and dis
organized remnants of the enemy
force is progressing rapidly" says
Nimitz. This means a dangerous
tedious process of cleaning up hun
dreds, possibly a few thousand of
enemy troops in caves and crevices,
is facing the Marines.
The actual ground campaign Is
estimated against garrison of at
least 10000 Jap troops, five times
as many as were encountered on any
atoll in the Gilbert or Marshall
islands.
The conquest of Saipan lasted 25
days and carrier based planes bomb
ed, strafed and used rocket bombs
during the engagement.
Guam and Rota islands, thanking
Saipan, have also been bombed
during the past two days.
Nine enemy fighter planes, at
tempting to fly to Guam have been
shot down and six twin-engined air.

the ground at Guam.

We must all agree to the truth that the City Treasury of Kodiak is in very bad financial state, in fact, bankrupt. We can and must find new sources of revenue to run our city on a stable busi- ness-like basis.
 We have, nearing completion, a city utility, namely, the new water system, which will bring the city income. This revenue, handled properly. could go long way toward paving our city streets and sidewalks. We could also have city lights under way shortly.
 Much has been said about 6 cold storage plant for Kodiak. As I understand it-due to war re- strictions-this project will have to lie dormant for awhile but 8 steady and relentless battle must be kept up to insure Kodiak being the final selection for this much needed assemblage.
 In the past our city council has been made up mostly of a group of businessmen. Natural ly, these men have been more or iess interested in the business mans views alone; 1 feel there should be a fair percentage of daily wage earners in office to uphod the interests of our many workingmen.
 We must be progressive, re- spect the other mans inalIen- able right to be able to make a good living and do it fairly and just y. Let us work to establish city that we can be proud of.
