KNIFE NAzIS IN ADVANCE,
 ITALY FRONT
Americans Launch FiereeIy Into Germans in Drive
 on livorno

ROME, July 14.-American troops knifed through fiercely defended German lines yesterday and cap tufed the village of Pastinta 13 miles southeast of Livorno, and drove on for two miles, through San Luce which is almost due east of Liyorno.
 The thrust was paced by the 422 Regimental Combat Team, composed of American soldiers of Jap origin, and followed the secondary highway midway between the Italian west coast and the Era Valley. It threat ened to outflank enemy strongholds at both of those major routes to Liyorno.
 Equally significant gains, due to hard fighting, were scored by French troops on the American right wing. The Frenchmen advanced two to two and half miles northward from San Donate and captured San Gim- ignano and it's neighboring village of La Casette. This brought them to within IT miles of the Arno River at Empoli and tended to develop threat to the flank defenders at Poggibonsi, five mile east of San Gimignano.

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE AIJvEn ExpEDTTTONAP

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY FORCES, July 14.--American in- fantry and tanks, driving down Cherbourg Peninsula, have advanced from one to three miles and the whole of the United States Army front from St. Lo to the sea is on the move"
 The Germans are apparently con- ducting an orderly withdrawal and the Americans have occupied sev- eral important villages advancing up to 10 miles on the west coast front. They have closed in more tightly against the German strong hold at Lessay.
 Some of the American elements have approached to within 2000 yards of the town.
 In fighting for strategic St. Lo, inland end of the 30-mile American battlefront, the First Army has made progress in the south, flanking the city also from the east.
 On the eastern sector of the Nor- mandy battlefront there is little ac- tivity but it is revealed the British lost St Honorine, mile north of Colombelles, in recent counter-at- tacks.
 Bradley's forces have pushed three miles down the west coast of the peninsula to St. German sur Ay, which is three miles northwest of Lessay, few miles inland along the highway from La Have du Puits to Lessay.
 Advanced units have reached the village of Beauvis below Carentan St. Je De. The American line has bulged sharply southward engulfing the villages of Tribehou, Coirney le Hommet and Darthenay.
 Four of the nine roads leading to St. To are now in American control.

FRENCH TOWN BURNED; ALL CITIZENS DIE
Women and Children Dyn-
 dmifed in Worst Afrol- fly of Entire War

LONDON, July 14.-The French Press Service, giving details of the Nazi massacre on June 10, of in- habitants of Orodiur Sur Glane, a central French village, said that women and children had been locked in the church, which was then dynamited and set af1re. Nearly 800 perished in the atrocity. Only 78 of the entire population escaped, the French agency said.
 The massacre had previously been reported by BEG, which said that HOO of the towns 1900 inhabitants were killed.
 The men of Orodiur Sur Glane were marched into a barn near the fairgrounds and groups of 20 were shot. The women and child ren were dynamited and nearly every building in the village set afire. German soldiers shot and killed anyone attempting escape.
 Contradictory reports were cir culated as to the reason of the terrible tragedy" Some say it was because an ammunition dump was found in the village; others say Germans were killed there."
 This story of butchery, as related by the French Service, said that several truckloads of SS troops drove into the town and German officer ordered the mayor to as semble the population at the fair grounds. No one was spared. Old people and invalids were informally herded to the spot at bayonet point.
 A young mother and her eight day-old baby were dragged out. She was taken to the church and soldier carried the baby in a cradle. Children were crying and women screaming as Germans car ried a large case to the church and then left.
 An hour later the church began to burn and other fires were set Soon the entire village was a sheet of flames. The sounds of houses collapsing amid the terrifying cries of people ir the flames reached them.
 The Germans remained at the scene until June 13, forbidding any one to approach. Some bodies were thrown into a ditch dug by the

The w ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Qt Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-P President Roose- welt is not the easiest person to give advice to, but some of those around him are trying to figure out ways and means of telling him to keep his political enemies out of choice spots inside his own White House.
 One man they have in mind is Fred Searls, Jr., who recently con- tributed $2,O00 to the Dewey cam paign, but who has an office ln- side the White House as the right hand man of Justice Jimmy Byrnes and Will Clayton. He is No. l aide in the disposal of vital surplus war property for which all the big com panies are scrambling.
 Last week, Senator Scrugham of Nevada and his subcommittee on small mining business issued a scathing blast against Fred Searls, charging him with holding up the production of U. s. minerals for the benefit of big foreign mining firms. Searls is a heavy investor in mines in Africa and Canada which compete with A m e ri Il mines, and the committees infer ence was that Searls was helping his own foreign companies.
 Searls is the handspring of the Newmont Mining Company, con- sidered a J. P. Morgan concern, which controls 28 large mines in Africa, South America and the Orient. He is also a director of a half dozen other African, Canadian and Oriental mines.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-07-14
sEARLs, INFLUENCE

Before coming over to the White House, Searls was with the WIPE facilities bureau, where he could grant, or deny facilities to mining firms. The Senate committee, in criticizing him, quoted from a let ter written soon after Pearl liar bor in which, as a WIPE official, Searls opposed any increase m US. production of copper, zinc and other scarce metals.
 This" according to the Senate committee, was certainly placing the cart before the horse with a geance. Unfortunately, this Searls policy, which could only have been based on a short-war viewpoint, was adopted by and steadily influenced many of the War Production Board mineral di- visions its committees and its successors to date.
 "As production adviser to office of War obilization Director Byrnes," continued the Senate re- port, "it is not to be expected that Searls' influence has been less than it was in his previous inferior po- sition"
 Actually Searls, simultaneously with being one of the ten largest contributors to Dewey, has been promoted. He is now right hand man to Will Clayton in disposing of surplus properties. Working closely with him is another J. P. Morgan man and an official in

NAzI5' SUPPLY CENTERS ARE UNDER
American Heavies Hif Oil Refineries in Hungary
 Also Rail Yards

LONDON, July l4.-Up to 800 es- corted American heavies attacked the Budapest railway yards and four oil refineries in Hungary, con- tinuing determined effort to de- stroy German fuel supplies and communications.
 Foul weather hampered opera tions in support of the battle i'll Normandy, although some flights cut through clouds and squalls to bomb the railroad yards at Beau vais, Montdider, far west of the battlefields.
 Three Hungarian refineries on the outskirts of Budapest were struck by Fortresses based in Italy, and Liberators, also from the south, hit the Petfurdo Oil Works, five miles south of Budapest, and also the Ferencuaros railway yards and city.
 A considerable number of ag- gressive Nazi fighters were encoun- tered and several were destroyed by the bombers and their Lightning escort.
 Another flight of Liberators and Mustangs bombed the Mantua rail- yards in Italy and, overnight, Med iteranean air forces snarled the Milan railyards and bombed nu- merous oil storage facilities in nor thern Italy.
 The weather in Normandy yes terday held the supporting opera tives to 500 sorties.
