British Navy yesterday attacked
shore installations on q 75-mile
stretch Of the Norwegian coast
southwest Of Trondheim, the Ad-
miralty disclosed today.
Submarine havens were among

Baker Island Used
As Airbase for Year
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
SEVENTH AAF HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Central Pacific, Aug. 10 (De-
layed Brig. Gen. Robert w. Doug
las, jr., commander of the 7th Army
Air Force, disclosed today that Ba-
ker Island, about 1000 miles SOUTH
west of Honolulu, has been an i'm
portant air base for almost a year.
The general said a Central Pa
cific American task force moved
bases of the 7th to the little island,
within so miles of the Gilbert
Islands, while they still were dom
mated by the japanese. He added
that 'our occupation of Baker
Island was one of the best-kept
secrets of Central Pacific opera
tions. Jap reconnaissance planes
which attempted to penetrate the
defense screen were shot down.
1T is doubtful if the Japs ever
discovered we were there. As we
were only 600 miles from their Gill
bert Island bases, we expected they
would bomb us. They did not do
SO, although they did attack our
installations on other islands some
what farther away"
The United States flag went up
on Baker in 1889. The island has
never had a permanent colony.

He added Victory is after all the

Mr.. Davis conferred with Mai.

Warrant for Fish
Rejected by Aide
ToU. S. Attorney

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Richard j.
Burke, chief Of the criminal div-
sion in the United States attorneys
Office, said today he would not act
on former Magistrate Joseph Gold
STEMS request for a warrant for
the arrest of. Representative Hamil-
ton Fish.
He said the facts as stated by Mr..
Goldstein. who earlier had failed
in serving Representative Fish with
a summons charging disorderly con-
duct, do not constitute any viola
ton of Federal law"
Mr.. Goldstein, who withdrew his
summons yesterday, contended that
remarks purportedly made by Mr..
Fish in q newspaper interview, which
quoted him as saying it would be
better for the Jews to split their
vote instead of voting solidly for
President Roosevelt, implied a threat
OF physical violence"

said the Americans were in the out
skirts of Paris. but there was no
supporting evidence, and headquar-
ters declined to give a hint.
Field dispatches from the British
front called the German reinforce
ment below Caen one of the strang-
est moves of the war and quoted
British staff officers as being frank
ly puzzled at Marshal Guenther Won
kluge's gamble in throwing the
bulk of the German armed forces
in Northwest Europe into such a
threatening corridor.
Nazis Getting Reinforcements.
Undoubtedly, reinforcements are
reaching the hard-pressed German
divisions" one staff officer said.
Their quality is uncertain, but in
some cases, at least, they are pro-
duced by milking other divisions or
by switching reinforcements meant
for other divisions"
German transport all around the
front continued TO take q heavy
pounding from the air, but the
Germans even sent back their
vitally needed front-line transport
to bring up reinforcements as the
battle famed on in sweaty mid
summer heat. Repeatedly the Ger
mans put in counterattacks to keep
the roof" from caving in on them,
but the British in each case held
firm or made bloody gains.
The Germans officially acknowl-
edged that they had withdrawn
from Mortain and Sourdeval, on
their left flank, in the face of an
American drive spearheaded by two
tank divisions and three motorized
infantry formations.
The Germans also admitted the
Americans were beyond Alencon,
80 miles north of LIE Mans.
Field dispatches from the Amer
lean 1st Army said gains of l to
2 miles had been made on q Is
mile front from Mortain northeast
ward below Wire, with another
American column pushing south
eastward from Wire past Maison-
celles-La-Jourdan.
Brittany Being Cleaned Up.
On the Brittany Peninsula the
methodical American cleapup con-
tinued. The Germans made a sor-
tie out of Brest during the day
but were driven back, and their
maneuver was described as a recon-
Nuisance in force rather than a
counterattack. Allied planes con-
tinued to bomb the besieged Brit
tany ports.
(The German news agency
Transocean said in a broadcast
that the German garrison at
Brest now has received two ulti-
matumS to surrender"
CThe broadcast also said "ene-
my warships have tried to enter
the harbor OF Lorient.")
The Americans took 10000 prison.
ers in 48 hours, it was disclosed,
mostly on the Brittany Peninsula.
The Germans acknowledged that
they had withdrawn generally from
the north banks of the Loire between
Anglers and Nantes.
The German commander for
Southern France, Col. Gen. Jo-
hannes Blaskowitz, is believed to
have less than 10 divisions to de-
fend his extensive territory.

This situation had been hinted at
yesterday when Senator Chandler,
Democrat, of Kentucky charged
that members OF board Of review

unofflcially in a New York theater
He said he was asking Secretary of
