stretch from Boston to Plymouth
and take in all the towns of the

appears firmly in Allied hands,
with three or more landing strips
in operation and General Mont

France.
Naval guns have reduced Nazi
strong points up to ten miles in

moving into zones where they
do not have the help of the big

For this they need artillery and
tanks-and all tho vast supplies
that feed meshanized war. These
have been pouring in over i'm
provised docks on the beaches.
They will move faster once Cher
beurg is secured. Then Allied
might will not be easily denied.

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, OF

OF leather treatments now pre-
scribed for Army shoes, today set
out to prove his point.
Chairman of a Senate Military
Affairs Subcommittee on War
Mobilization, Senator Kilgore asked
nearly dozen Government experts
to testify at special hearing.
The Army has forced manufac-
turers to use methods by which
shoes supplied our military men
outlast those given civilians" he
said. The civilian public has not
been given the advantage of these
methods"
He said the shoe industry as q
whole could have adopted the better
methods before the war but hesi-
tated to do so because of the abun-
dance Of leather available.
Now we have a lot Of bowling
about the leather shortage and the
industry still hesitates," the Senator
continued
I'VE hope to produce evidence that
will point the way to action at q
time when people are trying to make
their shoes do them for long periods
