LA ROC UE BR U s s A N N E, France, Aug. 21-(Delayed) = Any question as to how Vichyites will be treated in postwar France has been disclosed by stories told by Ivan Koleff, Chief of the Military Section under the French Forces of the Interior-stories of brutal massacres in which the Vichy Militia took part and the Vichy politicians helped organize last month.
 Koleff said the Germans and Vichy. Militia attacked three small French Forces of the Interior out posts with brigade.
 The French fought back as long as possible, then retreated to the forests where the Germans feared to follow and instead the attackers seized hostages in the villages, ut the advice of the collaborators.
 Bodies of the hostages were found later, eyes gouged out, hands cut off then stuck in the pockets of clothing.
 Henry Bertolicci, Chief of the EFT political section, verified the story which is only one. of scores of brutal and horrible treatment of Free Frenchmen not only at the hands of the Germans but also col laborationists.

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

WASHINGTON = General Lucius Clay made startling admission at last weeks secret session of the Truman (now Mead) Committee. He admitted that, aside from about 100 types of articles, the War De- partment did not have record of the quantity of supplies it had sent to the front
 Tn other words, huge quantities of supplies may be piling up at the front without the Army know ing how much is in various the atres. General Clay said that the Army's policy was to keep forward q ing regular quantities of supplies at regular intervals, regardless of what was already there. Senators point ed out that this was in contrast to General Pershing's policy in the last war of keeping check on all materiel.
 Clay's admission came out dur ing senatorial inquiry into whether the Army had enough supplies to permit some civilian production
 One controversial point was whether the Army now has suf- ficient small arms on hand to last five years, as contended by WIPE experts V. Lewis Basic and Irving Kaplan, who resigned when their report on war supplies was sup pressed.
 General Clay contended that the estimate of five years supply of small arms was erroneous.
 We have small arms on hand to last between 19 months and two years" he countered.
 General" asked alert Senator Kilgore of West Virginia, docs that take into consideration the small arms at the front?"
 We also have enough for about 100 days at the front" General Clay replied.

TRAP BEING

Germans Are Said to Be in Rouf Along SfeeI- Swept
 Lower Seine River

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED PRECAUTIONARY FORCES, Aug. 23.--Allied columns hammered in today to tighten the trap on the Germans falling back in "rout" along the steel-swept lower Seine River, spearing deep within enemy area below Paris in menac- ing new swift drives.
 Some advance units are only 160 miles from the German border. One American armored column plunged beyond Sens, 58 miles southeast of Paris about 160 miles from the frontier between Sens and Paris.
 Lieut.. Gen. Patton's Third Army is operating in the woods in this section near Fontainebleay.
 The Americans have thrown a bridgehead across the upper Seine River.
 Advances Scored
 Canadian and British troops have scored recent advances of from 10 to Is miles in chase of the battered German Seventh Army which is run ming toward the lower Seine from the disastrous Falaise trap.
 On the coast the Canadians bat tered some seven more miles across the beaches and United States units hit down the river toward the sea, bringing the eastern jaws of pincers into line to menace Evreaux and Vernon, about 50 miles from the mouth of the Seine River.
 German ROut
 Allied airmen, meanwhile, declare the Allied retreat has all of the appearances of a rout.
 The enemy attempted to escape across the Seine by ferry and rub Der boats at about 30 different points and suffered losses under a hail of bullets and cannon shells from low-swooping Allied planes.
 Supreme Headquarters declared 40,000 to 50,000 Germans were cap- tured in the Falaise pocket. The Nazi dead are still uncounted.
 One Berlin broadcast said the Am- erican bridgehead across the lower Seine, apparently referring to the Nantes area, 25 miles northwest of Paris, has been liquidated in a Ger

Dovis, Beau Jock Moy Provide K. o.

New York, March l5.-Boxing at Madison Square Garden this season has been definitely of the hit show class. That isn't intended as a pun, because the fistic programs of late have attracted capacity or near-capacIty attendances.
 In another sense, however, the Garden boxing events have not been Init" shows. True they have been interesting, lively, exciting, thrilling, even good. But there has been an absence of real hittlng--solid, smash ing, knockout hitting.
 Except, that is, when a guy named Al Davis was one of the principals involved.
 For 1t was Davis, Of all the box CTS and so-called punchers who have appeared at the Garden this season, who was able to fashion a knock out triumph. Tn the dozen shows that have taken place since last October, only the Davis-Bob Mont- gomery bout of February is ended in a kayo. On that occasion the Brooklyn wcltcrweight halted the Philadelphian in one minute and thre seconds Of the firtS round.
 Zivic Did It
 Prior to Davis Montgomery, the last knockout to be seen in the Garden ring (in main events, of coursc) was last September 10 when FritZie ZIvic flattened Winnie Vines. That, too, was a one.round affair, zivic winning in two minutes and four seconds.
 Friday night Davis expects to igve another convincing demonstration of his hitting talents. This time he pposes the recently dethroned world lightweight champion, Beau Jack. The match is listed for ten rounds. Not noy boxing men think the bout will last the full distance. But not all the boxing men think 1t will be Davis who'll bring the cofl- test to Q quick and sudden halt.
 DavIS' best punch is the left hook, though he has also developed . good right. Beau Jacks most potent wallop is the short right up. percut. On the records, Davis left hook is more effective than the Beau Jack uppercut. But the Georgia cracker-j jack has one distinct cd. vantage over Davis: the Beau pcS- sesses some boxlng skill
