fire. His men followed him.
Joe doesn't know I am writ
ing about him. AS we talked to-
day he said, Give my men all
the credit because they deserve
it. They did a great job" But
in Joe's story, I also hope to
picture his men.
A company led by 1t. John
Spaulding, Greensboro, KY. and
Sgt. Phillip Streczyk, New York
City poured on fire support
from the beach while Joe de-
ployed his company on both
sides of a route from the beach
to Colleville, some 5000 yards
away.
s OF the push Joe said: Things
got to moving SO fast don't re-
member just what did happen.
1t was cops and robbers stuff
all around"
Anyway the men entered Col
leville, which was lousy with
Germans. They fought a pitch
ed battle all day and all night
and chung to their position -
even when our own Navy began
pounding the town with big
guns, hurting shells all around
them.
In church, Joe met a burst
of fire. A bullet grazed his left
kneecap and lodged in his right
leg.-And Joe kept right after
the Germans, firing blndly.
When the enemy ran out and
crossed a hedgerow, Joe ended
this little fracas with a gren-
ade, while his men fought fur
iously around him.
1--WE got an anchor in the town
and l built up firepower around
it," Joe said.
Among men Joe said did zone
hell of great job" were Maj.

After the recent warning by
Voice of America Shortwave
transmitters that the Hungarian'S
treatment of Jews would be one
of the factors in the Allied judg-
ment on Hungary, the London
transmitters this week assailed
the Budapest regimes new trick
of combining Jews to ghettos in
the immediate vicinity of Allied
targets. The broadcast specific
ally referred to the factory areas
of Ujpest, Kispest and Prestzen-
erzebet.
Anyone spreading the report
that the presence of Jews in those
areas would keep Allied air forces
away is q criminal and anyone
believing such a report is insane,
the broadcast declared. 1t accus-
ed the Hungarian regime of try
ing, by linking the air raids with
the Jewish question, to divert the
peoples attention from 1.-The
treachery which played Hungary
into the hands of Hitler" which
necessarily brought the Allied

located won't save the life of one

Poles Deny Plan
For Postwar
Evacuation of Jews

New York (JPS)-The Polish
Telegraph Agency denied the ex-
lstence of a memorandum to the
Polish Government-in-Exile from
its emissary in Poland, proposing
the postwar evacuation of Polish
Jewry, first published in The Dav
Yiddish daily, several days ago.
The publishers of the Yiddish
newspaper reiterated that thew
have photostats of the document.
The Polish Telegraph Agency
announced receipt of the follow
ing authorized statement from
Polish Government-in-Exile rep
resentatives in London: 1.-THE in
formation concerning alleged plans
regarding the future of the Jewish
population in Poland, as presented
in The Day, are contrary both in
fact and spirit to the information,
as well as the conclusions, coming
in from Poland on behalf of the
Polish Governments delegate
there and his executive depart
ments, as well as from the Gland
estine Council Of National Unity
on which the Government is rep
resented. These reports obviously
are contrary to policy rulings and
plans of the Polish Government"
The Polish Telegraph Agency said
that these rumors were first given
circulation six months ago.
The Days reply reads: 1--WE
have in our possession photostatic
copies of the document, and the
name of the emissary who pre-
pared this document and sent it
to the Polish Government in Lon
don. The document contains views
and recommendations on other
problems too, but we did not
think we should quote the docu-
ment on any other matters, but
those pertaining to the Jews. We
are gratified, however, that the
Polish Government has officially
repudiated the views contained in
that document, which has become
a source of grave concern to
Jews"

of their applying for immigration
visas. Once landed they would be
cared for until they could be evac-
uated to their own countries.
From the international point of
view, it is not so much matter
of large numbers of refugees COM
ing here, as of the United States
setting an example by doing it's
share of the rescue and human
salvage work. The legal problem
is whether people can be brought
into the United States, not as i'm
migrants, and without the right
of residence outside designated
areas. So entered into this coun-
try, they would camp here for a
limited period and then after the
war go back to their countries of
of origin, or else leave the country
to enter later on in strict compli-
ance with immigration laws.

WASHINGTON (JTA) Per-
sistent rumors that President
Roosevelt is about to inaugurate
a system of free ports" for the
salvage and temporary safekeep-
ing, on American soil, of victims
of Hitlerism, could not be con-
firmed in any official quarter this
week. A distinct possibility ex-
lists, however, that either by con-
gressional or executive action
some step in this direction may
be taken, in view of the fact that
public sentiment overwhelmingly
favors this proposal.
In support of the possibility OF
the establishment of free ports an
