enemy resistance visibly began to weaken, I had one of the strangest midday meals of my life.
 A French family asked me and several companions to come into their house out of the way of the dipping spandau, light ack-ack, bul- lets and shells which cracked over the house tops along the street.
 Would you like an omelet' our hosts asked. When we agreed they proceeded to serve food first with cider, then with red wine followed by coffee and cognac.
 We ate in the midst of & storm of artillery, machine gun and rifle fire.
 When the coffee was served, there was terrific burst of fire over the garden wall. ,.s..
 Its nothing to worry about" said the wife of the house owner. She went on serving the coffee, as if this was only a small incident in every day life, which, in fact. it had be- come since the siege of Cherbourg.
 In the room where the meal was served there were several French resistance volunteers. Occasionally an American soldier was invited in for a glass of cognac to refresh him during a lull in the battle.
 One French civilian who came in told me he had been harboring four American airmen who were shot down over Cherbourg.
 T kept them hidden in the cel- lar" he said. T have just turned them over to your incoming troopS."

 Chlusi Falls
 Chiusi fell to the British yester- day after a week of bloody street fighting during which the town changed hands three times. The Tommies famed out above the town, pushing strong enemy force westward across the river Astrone and capturing the villages of Vaiano and north of Chiusi.
 Other British units smashed into the outskirts of Castiglione del Lago, on the west shore of Lake Trasi- memo nine miles northeast of Chiu- si, after overrunning the nearby vil- lage of Vitellino and capturing 2l0 enemy officers and men.
 German rear guards also were battling desperately to hold their hill positions along the eastern shore of the lake and above Perugia, and headquarters spokesmen said the British columns were making little headway through the well-defended enemy positions.
 Advanced British units were in the outskirts of Corciano, five miles northwest of Perugia, and Magione, four miles farther west.
 Above Capiglia
 On the Tyrrhenian coastal flank. American armored forces moved up highway one to point more than two m,les above Campiglia and about 30 miles south of Livorno.
 Farther inland, American forces drove ? l-2 miles past Boccheggiano and seized the hill town of Mon- teri after savage, l8-hour battle of tanks and infantry. French Col onial troops on the American right flank also hammered out moderate gains against fierce enemy opposi- tion. The two converging columns were about 20 miles below Siena, a key junction on the inland highways leading to Livorno and Florence.
 Allied fighters and fighter -bomb- CTS went back Into the battle in considerable force, pounding enemy road columns, gun positions and communications lines. Other tacti- cal forces struck at Nag isnippins on both coasts, and RAF heavy and medium bombers followed through with g night attack on the Aouilis oil refinery at Trieste.

 Won schlieben shrugged his big shoulders and explained that it had been his experience in Russia that small groups of die-ha1Nis could achieve major ceIays.
 When his questioning was com pleted, Won schlieben was invited to wash up in the generals quarters and have lunch with him, Rear Ad- miral Walter Hennecke, the Ger man naval commander of Cher bourg, who also had surrendered, was the luncheon guest of the Arn- erican general too.
 American assault forces bagged the two commanders when they were preparing to storm the en- trance to an underground tunnel in which several hundred Germans were bottled. A German lieuten- ant suddenly emerged and goose. stepped through gunfire toward our lines, carrying white flag.
 He was taken to the general of an assault division, whom he Inc formed that he wished to present the surrender of the two top Naz SOAAAAAdA0CAos 4UC bSAACEHA H9VC JAAG order to cease firing and sent the lieutenant back to the tunnel to bring them out.
 Tn 8 few minutes, Won Schlieben and Hennecke came out, followed by upwards of 300 Germans, all with their hands in the air. Other batch- es of Germans continued to sur- render in this area during the en- suing hours until the number ex- ceeded 1000. bringing the total bag for the Peninsula campaign to roughly 10000.
 The American commander or. dered a loudspeaker brought up to inform the defenders of the Cher bourg arsenal that their command CT had quit and that further resist ance was useless but the Germans threw heavy volume of small arms fire from their concrete bastions through the night.
 A colonel of artillery threw in the sponge and brought 300 men with him. A thousand wounded Germans were taken in a hospital.

onic arsenal on the northwest side of the harbor. The Germans were entrenched firmly in the 30-foot high concrete bastion behind walls 10 feet thick and surrendered only after fires set by Allied artillery and naval bombardments threat ened to consume them.
 Richard D. McA1illan, United Press war correspondent, told of watching towering volumes of flame" pillow from the fortress dur ing the final stages of the battle last night. Though the arsenals guns still were firing, McMillan said enemy troops and slave labor workers were filing out of the vari- ous exits in patches of several hun- dred.
 Among those captured in the final hours were Italians, Russians, Poles, Czeohs and Arabs, most of them slave laborers. McMillan saw one Russian woman with 6 baby strapped to her back.
 Battle Rages
 Another fierce battle ragged around Fort du Roule on the south eastern outskirts of Cherbourg When American infantry captured part of the fort, the remaining Ger mans sealed themselves up behind cement walls in isolated sections and continued to train their big coastal guns on American targets.
 Henry T. Gorrell, United Press Press war correspondent who visited the fortress shortly before 6 D. m. yesterday, said American infantry penetrated three stories under ground blasting the Germans out with dynamite, but were unable to find entrances to those who had holed themselves up with their guns.
 More than 200 prisoners were cap- tQred in one vast storage tunnel, which contained everything from torpedoes to hundreds of cases of cognac. An elevator running from the cliff-top fortress to the seafroflt also was found.
 Crack Defenses
 On the central and eastern sec- tors of the beachhead, British and Canadian infantry and tanks were cracking the enemy's carefully prepared defenses between Caen and Tilly-sur- -Seueiles.
 Driving to within a mile and a half of the Caen-V -Villers- Bocage road, the British captured St. Man vieu, five Joiles vest of Coe:: yn Gaule. a half-mile south of St. Man vieu, and Le Haut du Bosq, two miles southeast of Fontenay. The capture of Cheux, half way be- tween Le Haut du Bosq and La Gaule; Fontena. two miles east of Till: Tessel Bretteville. 2h miles southeast of lilly, and Brette- villette. four miles south of Tilly, was reported earlier.
 Heavy concentrations of German anti-tank guns were encountered at the crossroads hamlet of Volleville on high ground one mile north of the Odon river, which empties into the Orne at Caen.

Smoke Filled Quarters

With each succeeding call for room service, the smoke seemed thicker, and Bill could tell they had a problem.
 Only I did not know what it was, he said, "All I knew was that they were smoking too much. Some of ordered $l.50 perfectos and one sen ator took stogies and couple of the other guys smoked pipes that gurgled and along about three o'clock in the morning that suite smelled like burnt chicken feath- ers."
 The conferees were sprawled on beds in the two bedrooms, they had their feet on the French furniture in the living room-and hotl Whooie. Or so said Bill.
 The sun was about to come up over Lake Michigan when Bills guests called in Harding, the ob- scure publisher of the Marion, O., Star, to offer him the nomination. A few hours later the late Raymond Clapper of the United Press was telling the news to the world in one of those scoops that make news paper history, and there was Bill trying to air out room 805.
 "Very difficult" he said. "The smoke was what you might call concentrated. It was weeks before we got out the last trace"
 One other thing for the historical record. Room s05 now is occupied by a permanent guest, Mrs. Fannie Mae Strobel, whom Bill particularly admires. She doesn't know a thing about what went on in 1920 in her living room and Bill claims it would be dirty trick to tell her.

 But the coastal guns continued firing from the hidden chambers, battering everything from freight cars in the Cherbourg railroad yards to German pillboxes which were seized by the Americans and contain tons of high explosives.
 l have been in the fort-that is parts of it--and I've never seen anything like it. The fortresses, with a maze of underground pas sages, is on a mountain fianked by a series of multi-roomed pillboxes, all of which had to be attacked by belly crawling infantry before Fort du Roule itself could be assaulted.
 Inside the fort are many scores of concrete Steel-reinforced cham bers, with even an elevator descend ing from the mountain direct to the seafront.
 That is the reason that after the fort had been captured" yesterday morning, hundreds of Germans were able to get in and resume fir ing, apparently determined to shoot until they run out of ammunition.

and salvage workers-veterans of Pearl Harbor and Naples-began the task of restoring Cherbourgs wrecked docks to handle a flow of thousands of tons of supplies and tens of thousands of troops weekly in the months to come.
 Occupation of Cherbourg was completed last night, almost three weeks to the day from the start of the invasion, after a final day of fierce street fighting around the ar- senal in the northwestern section.
 In the battle for Cherbourg alone Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's 43rd communique reported, the Germans lost the greater part of four in- fantry divisions, numerous naval and marine units, and line commit nication troops. Among the thou sands of prisoners taken were Lieut.. Gen. Carl Wilhelm won Hennecke, sea defense commander of Normandy.
 Total enemy casualties were not announced, but it was believed that 10000 to 3O000 enemy troops were killed, captured or wounded in ana around Cherbourg.
 The next phase of the invasion appeared already under way as British troops captured at least five more towns in @ fighting advance of up to six miles to within little more than a mile and half of the main highway southwest from the enemy bastion of Caen at the east ern end of the beachhead.
 The completion of the occupa- tion of Cherbourg was announced in special communique at 7:l5 a, m. d:15 a. m. EWT), and less than four hours later Eisenhower tri- umphantly proclaimed in his reg ular communique:
 Fall of CherbOurg
 The fall of Cherbourg ends the second phase in the campaign of liberation.
 Twenty days after the initial assault, Allied forces have estab- lished firm beachhead which in- cludes almost the whole Cotentin peninsula and a major port"
 Experts believed that Allied ships would begin moving supplies and men into Cherbourg whose great piers in peacetime unloaded 1000 tons of cargo a day, within any, where from 48 hours to one week despite the destruction of docks cranes and other installations.
 A dispatch from Alex Singleton representing the combined Ameri- can press, told of demolition and salvage experts waiting aboard landing ships in the English chan mel with their gear for the signal to enter the harbor and begin the removal of Instructions.
 The remaining German resistance on the Hanks of Cherbourg appeared to be centered principally between Beaumont Hague. nine miles west of Cherbourg, and Cap de Ia Hague at the northern tip of the Coten- tin peninsula. The pocket was shrinking almost hourly. however under a fierce artillery and mortar harrage.
 A smaller enemy force also was holding out on the Maupertus air. field, a prewar commercial grass covered commercial field five miles east of Cherbourg. Both forces may be mcpped up today.

 Furthermore, he continued, the party does not intend to make an issue of every administration mis- take because we are less concerned with these past errors than the direction in which for the future we are going"
 But he did charge the New Deal with following a course which is leading us away from representa- tive government destroying the two-party system, perpetuating it. self in power and creating an "ar- rogant. r-intoxicated bureau- cracy" whose rule has seen the constitution short -c!rcuited.
 Warren did not mention Presi- dent Roosevelt by name, put he vigorously attacked any suggestion that the President ia an inojspens- able man" or that the Democratic party is the only one that can achieve victory and lasting peace. He said the present administration has been so engrossed in playing power politics on a world stage that it has neglected this nations interests.
 Tt is the purpose of this con vention," Warren went on, to put the public welfare above privste self interest; to put the nation above he party; to put the progress of the whole American community above special privilege for any part of it; to put the indispensable principles-once and for all--ahove indispensable men"

 Daylight activity late yesterday was limited to patrols of l50 to 200 fighters in the area between Caen and Rouen and smalled units over the beachheads. Three German ME- 109's were shot down by RAF Spit fires operating from beachhead landing strips.
 Between 800 and 750 American heavy bombers from Italian bases attacked six oil refineries, aircraft factories and a rail yard in the Vi- enna area yesterday, against the most intense flax and strongest fighter opposition in recent weeks.
 It was announced at Rome that 36 heavy U. s. bombers were lost in the attacks on Vienna, where the Ger mans sent various fighter planes and rocket ships to meet the Amer lean formations.
 Returning crewmen described the air over the targets as filled with blazing pieces of shattered air- craft, black bursts of flax and para chutes mixes with flames and smoke billowing from well hit targets" Altogether in the operations from Italian bases, A Allied planes were lost, while at least 55 German afr craft were destroyed.
