No Resistance Seen
Up to 20 Miles Inland
BY KENNETH DIXON

Associated Press War Correspondent
ON A BPS MITCHELL BOMBER
OVER SOUTHERN FRANCE, Aug
l5.-So far as I could see from 9
height of 1000 feet above thu
beaches where the Allies smashed
ashore less than an hour ago, M
major fighting had yet developed
AS far as 20 miles inland a com
plete lack of any sign of struggl,
marked the rugged landscape.
There was plenty of visual evi
dence that the preliminary stage
Of the Allied operation-parachut,
and glider landings-were carried
out successfully.
We came in with the first wav,
of glider troops to strike Southern
France. Some miles inland the,
cut loose from CAT tow planes ane
glided down into little meadows be.
tween rugged crags just within the
coastline.
With the exception of few which
crashed into bitches and fences OF
turned over on their backs, the GID.
ers seemed to make it safely.
Nowhere was there any sign o1
resistance to them. We sometimes
got as low as 200 or 300 feet owe,
the treetops and not shot was
fired at us.
The first sign OF movement as
scores Of gliders skidded to a stop
in clouds OF dust came from near an
overturned glider which apparently
was badly wrecked. A small ma
chine moved beetle-like from under
the wing of a nearby glider and
headed toward the one in trouble.
There goes the first airborne jeep
into action in Southern France ''
said Corpl. Bill Luneback of Chi
cago. the bomber's 22-year- old radio
operator.
Everything must be going okay,"
he said with grin.
Along the coast and out at sea
there was a complete lack of gun
flashes or any other sign of action.
Although we only traversed the
northern sector of the beachhead
and, due to fieecy clouds and the
low altitude could not observe the
entire assault area. still We were
unable to note anything resembling
stiff resistance.
No Evidence of Flax.
When I last flew over this sector,
some two weeks ago. the entire coast
line was alive with fax. This morn
ing, although hundreds of Allied
planes were operating over the en-
tire area. did not see a single one
shot down.
Once we thought we were in a fax
zone when one glider apparently
dlsintegrated in the air. This how
ever, was still far from the coast of
France and there was no apparent
for it.
Pieces flew in all directions. The
bodies Of the men aboard seemed
like giant scarecrows as they were
hurled into space, standing out
starkly for moment against the
red sunrise and then tumbling down
to splash into the quiet sea.
While it was impossible to check
with perfect accuracy the terrain
which previously had been marked
out on the map, it seemed from just
overhead that all troops had been
landed on or near designated spots
AS we flew over the inland area
every previously planned landing
spot already was we'll marked. How
ever. most of the marking was un-
necessary because of the thousands
OF paarchutes outlining the areas.

er American forces conquered
Awajalein in the Marshall group.
Wake fell to the Japanese Jan.

bered bulldog detachment from the
first defense battalion had put up
a heroic defense.
Col. l.. A. Holm of Bowling
Green, Ohio, and Sand Diego, Calf

tack. He was the officer who set
up the Wake island defenses and
turned them over to Maj. James
P. Devereux of Washington Z. c.,
