 Tt beats me what they are try ing to do" 2nd It. Lawrence R. Maroon Of 6605 Detroit avenue. Cleveland. Ohio, said. Its plain murder. but they're asking for it and we'll give it to them"
 Most Of the American officers were convinced the Germans were knocked off balance by the rapidity Of tine American crossing. made in assault boats, some of which were dashed together and powered by out board motors.
 This morning a pontoon bridge was firmly established and troops and supplies rollde across un- checked There were no American casualties during the crossing. Five GI's have been killed since the landing.
 Tt looks to me as if these boys that We are shooting at were sent on an old mission to keep us from crossing" a colonel conJuctured. '@rhey don't know at German headquarters we're across yet and think this small bunch is enough to hold us on the other sled of the river. One prisoner told us most Of their officers had been killed. So I can imagine their stubborn and stupid non-coms tell ing the men: We're supposed to stop these guys and we're going to do it."
 Another prisoner said two-thirds oi his company had bee nslaugb- tered.
 Many Of the dead were scattered thorugb the woods, sprayled where they fell after attempting a flank ing move on bicycles yesterday af- ternoOn.
 Stretched out on the hay in a barn, Pfc. Gershell Marshall of Poteau, Okla. told me:
 T looked th0rugh a crack ip the wall and there were five Jerries creeping along the fence. ! let go with my automatic rifle and killed a heap Of them. But that didn't faze them. More Germans kept com- ing, When We got through shooting the woods were full Of dead"
 Most Of the Germans appeared young and probably were engaging iD their first battle, the colonel said.
 Btu I'll say this for them thouOgb." he added. They haven't much sense but they're good sol- djers, ! watched them through glasses when We were pouring t to them. They dug in but as soon as the firing was oyer. they got up and came at us again"

shal's injuries.
 Leseene's Story
 Tn a little room of Livarot's cob- bled main street, Lescene told me the story while the great machines of Allied blitzwar thundered past and the big guns rumbled in the hills beyond.
 Two weeks before the accident, he said, Rommel had n warning of what was coming. That was when trucks behind his car were wreck ed by a plane.
 Rommels car rushed up the main street from outside the city. Lescene explained, and he hid behind the church.
 About 6 D. m. on July I7th. he said a car pulled up at the cross roads, in front of the war memorial, and a distraught tank ofilcer jump cd out, inquiring for the village doc- tor. Lescene gave him directions but the officer seemed confused and the group dashed of to Vimouterie.
 Half an hour later, someone in- formed Lescene at a cafe that an officer and two other people were injured and were unable to find a doctor.
 T decided to go myself" Lescene said.
 The officer lay on a stretcher in the yestibule at the hospital and sisters were washing his face no- tieed he was a general because Of the red tabs and broad red stripes on his brooches and high boots.
 Fractured Skull
 "An officer told me we would have to put him in another room and I had him carried to the dining room next door Then I noticed he had a large open wound above the left eye and was bleeding from the ears. This convinced me he had a frac- tured skull. He was not wounded by bullets. but his face was completely swollen and disfigured.
 T started to bind the wounds and told the officer he must be taken at once to a hospital where there was a doctor. took his pulse, which was weak and gave him two infections of etherated camphor. Tn doing so removed his wrist watch.
 'sThe commander of the local gaF- FIson then had the seat removed from his car and the wounded gen. eFal placed in there. The soldiers all said it was Rommel our Marshal, our Marshal
 ''The village policeman then noe tieed two crossed MaFshal's batons on his epaulets and remembering photographs of Rommel. we both felt convinced 1t was he"
 Car Crashed
 Leseene said he learned later mat ROmmels car crashed after the drivers shoulder had been torn off in the Allied plane attack. The mar ghal either was injured in the crash or in an attempt to jump from the moving car.
 The next day, someone from Ser. nay told Ieseene that the general who had been brought from LlyaF0t "dled during the night"
 A village policeman, who had been listening to Lescene's story, DroEe in,
 "A German officer, who later was treated at the hospital, told one ol the sisters that R0mmel died at : a. m the next morning at Bernay and his body was flown to Berlin"

LEANDER HARRIS
 JAILED 30 DAYS
Wife Visits Escapee From Chain Gang in Prisoners
 Pen in Court

Leander Harris, 22, 10 Pearl street, who admitted to police last week that he had escaped from a North Carolina chain gang, was remand- ed to New Haven county jail for 30 days by City Court Judge T. E. Con. way this morning in lieu of S6,OO0 bonds, pending action by the North Carolina authorities
 Harris, who was working in an Exchange place store, was picked Up on Friday by Detective Lieut.. Wil- liam Foley, Detective Sergt. Joseph Mccarthy, and Detective George McElligott on Q fugitive warrant.
 Chief Inspector Joseph R. Bend Ter said Harris at first agreed to waive extradition, but later retained Attorney Irving Pasternak who said he would fight extradition. There appears to be some doubt now on this point, Inspector Bender said.
 Inspector Bender said he could not get Q coherent story from Harris but it appeared he escaped from the prison gang at New Burn, North Carolina last July after serving 30 days of a year 3 months sentence. Harris said he was sent to jail be- cause of "his bad record" after a woman shot him in the head. Harris said he had served in the Navy and had been discharged after being wounded in the stomach.
 Harris and his wife made their way to Washington after his escape, and dlifted to Waterbury, Inspector Bendler said. His wife visited him at the prisoners pen in City Court this morning.
