ROME, Aug. 28.-lP-An
American armored column
has thrown a deadly wedge
into the Rhone valley 100
miles north of Marseille, and
tonight battered remnants of
the German 10Th army in
southern France fought fran

An official announcement said
heavy losses already had been in
flicted on fleeing enemy troops on
the east bank of the Rhone, but
did not disclose whether Yank for
ces had yet throttled all highways
and railways on both sides of the
stream, effectively stoppering the
wide Rhone valley.

the Rhone valley from Avignon,
some As miles down the river. All
bridges across the Rhone have
been flown, and French patriot
troops holding the countryside on
the west side of the river were re-
ported harassing the flank of the
reeling army.
The last Germans who had been
holding out on the Marseille water
front and on islands in the harbor
finally surrendered, six days after
capture of Frances greatest port
was officially announced by the
Allies. Allied engineers had been
waiting impatiently to begin clean
ing up the harbor, badly needed
to supply the Seventh army.

PAC COMMITTEE
RAKED in HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.- R -
A hot exchange broke out today
between Rep. Church (R.-Ill.) and
Sidney Hillman during a House
committee hearing at which Hill
man reported his CLIO Political Ac-
ton Committee had spent 1871 ,086,
including $67, 800 in primaries and
state elections.
Church set off the clash by de-
claring that the CLOS political plan
directed by Hillman, is "commu-
nistic engineered from the top
down. with local unions having no
say in it. sss. ~ 49, - -'
Would you say Du Points con-
tribution of $186,000 to the Repub-
lcans and Pew's of $108,O came
from the bottom up?" Hillman re-
torted, adding:
You're trying to prejudice the
public against us. It's below the
belt campaign. I'll put my record
of fighting communism against
yours any time. I'm opposed to
communism because I'm opposed
to all totalitarianism-ev in in

AS Hillman appeared before the
House group investigating cam
paign expenditures, Senator
Bridges (R.-NH.) told the Senate
that a magazine article by Hill
man entitled THE Truth about the
PAC' only covered up the real
truth" that the PAC is an "enor-
NOUS danger" to labor interests.
Bridges said the New Republic,
which published the article, had re-
fused to give Senator Butler R.-
