Is Attacks in u Hours.
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's
superiority in artillery in the Caen
fighting smashed every attempt of
the Germans to infiltrate into the
Odon River bridgehead. The Nazis
made Is attacks in u hours, the
latest shortly before dawn yester-
day. A barrage from British heavy
guns broke it up before it even
reached infantry positions.
British patrols expanding the

IN NORMANDY, July Sit. Gen
Omar N. Bradley. commander of the
American lst Army in Normandy
said today the spectacular Cher
bourg victory was an indication to
the enemy as to what he can expect
from now on"
The fact our troops were able to
overcome this stiff, resistance 50
quickly and capture approximately
IS 900 prisoners was due to the Qne
fighting qualities Of our infantry
the close support Of our artillery and
the close cooperation between our
ground and air forces, Gen. Brad
leys ofi1cial summary said.
The Navy also contributed ma
terially when they appeared of the
defenses and bombarded them for
about three hours. 1t is impossible
to accurately measure the effect of
this fire, but we do know that naval
gunflre, especially that of large
caliber, is demoralizing on troops
who cannot fire back.
According to the statements of
some captured German officers. the
enemy was very much surprised at
the quickness with which we cut
across the peninsula near St. Sau-
veur la Comte and then at the
rapidity with which We cut to the
north and kept pushing without Civ
ing him chance to properly organ
ize and regroup.
"All this speaks we'll for our state
Of training and morale and is an
indication to the enemy as to what
he can expect from now on to the
end"
Gen. Bradley disclosed that the
9th Division. which first cut across
the peninsula, also carried out the
final mopping-up operations on Cap
de la Hague.

Po|etti Believes Allies
Must Stay in Italy
By the Associated Press.


ROME, July / Delayed) 1t.
Col. Charles Poletti, regional COM
missioner for the Rome area, saws
he believes the Allies must remain
in Italy after the war, at least until
the Italians select their own form
Of government, and that the coun-
try's reconstruction must be aided
by Allied loans and assistance.
The former Governor of New
York, who has had years expe-
rience in Allied military govern
ment. disclosed his convictions in
an interview.
"Italys elections and a decision
on the monarchy should take place
pretty shortly after the war" he
said. I'm the meantime, the Allies
must remain as an educational,
guiding force to see that the elec-
ton Is carried out properly. They
would be doing Italy a great dis
favor by packing up and moving out
on armistice day."
He predicted reconstruction would
take place much quicker than the
Italians believe possible. and said
one OF the main problems Is to edu-
cate the Italians to democracy after
20 wears Of Fascist corruption that
spread throughout the land.
