ably will arrive here near the be-
ginning Of the Four-Power Security
Conference scheduled to open at
Dumbarton Oaks Monday. While he
is not expected to take part in the
deliberations, Mr.. Hull undoubtedly
will inform him fully as to the
Administrations plans and policies
at the conference. thus laying a
factual basis for an open statement
by him or Mr.. Dewey as to the
Republican position
Dewey Charge Denied.
Early this week Gov. Dewey is
sued a statement in which he ex-
pressed apprehension that the con-
ference would lead to an alliance
among the big powers to "coerce'

cooperation in the effort to estab-
lish lasting peace.

Dulles and to confer with him on

In Albany, the Associated Press

suit with him on international

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Allied air
men destroyed or damaged more
than $500 German vehicles in
the battle of Northwest France
yesterday and struck fresh blows
today at shattered enemy divi-
sions.
Blistering daylight attacks on the
remnants of Marshal Guenter Won
Kluge's reeling remnants came after
night in which more than 1000
RAF heavy bombers set fires at the
port of Bremen and blasted oil and
rail installations of Germany,
France and Belgium.
Mosquitoes dumped 2-ton block
busters on Berlin for the fourth
time in five nights and bombed and
strafed German roads of retreat in
France through the hours of dark
ness.
Enemy Troops Battered.
Like the pilots of the bomb and
rocket carrying fighters who bat
tered enemy troops mercilessly in
daylight as they attempted to
scramble across the Seine ahead of
1t. Gen George S. Patton's Sd Army,
Mosquito crewmen reported "the
best hunting since D-day"
l. On one road they attacked at least
700 vehicles with bombs and bullets
and left about 120 of them burning
or destroyed and many more dam
aged to add to the total of yester-
days daylight achievements an
nounced officially today.
Some 5000 offensive sorties were
flown yesterday and 81 Allied planes
including three heavy bombers-
were lost. Eight RAF bombers failed
to return from the night operations.
At least 38 German planes were
downed in combat and 81 more were
destroyed on the ground.
300 German Sorties.
The enemy's daylight sorties were
estimated at 300-most of them east
of Paris.
Of the Allied attacks, American
and British heavy bombers made at
least 1000 sorties in seven separate
attacks on Nazi airfields, oil depots,
bridges, submarine pens, pocket de-
pots and other targets
Objectives battered last night by
British heavy bombers in addition
to Bremen, Germany's second larg-
est port, which is now the home of
a Focke-Wulf factory, were the
Sterkrade- -Holten synthetic oil plant
the sixth largest in the Ruhr-oil
storage depots at Rieme. Belgium,
and the rail center of Connantre,
10 miles east of Paris. A COM
munique said the Bremen target
was left "a mass Of flames"
Cologne Also Attacked.
Oft-battered Cologne also was
bombed again in the night, but this
probably was a diversionary attack.
Early in the evening Raj heavies
returned to L'Isle Adam just north
of Paris for the second blow at that
rocket weapon supply depot within
a few hours and also hit several
launching sites in Northern France.
Field dispatches disclosed that
fighter bombers destroyed II Ger
man tanks and damaged 81 more
yesterday.
At least 100 barges and two river
steamers were sunk on the Seine,
nearby rivers and canals in low
level daylight raids. and Mosquitoes
bombed and shot up rs barges last
night at points along the Seine.
The weather over the battle zone
was described today as good, with
excellent visibility despite . few
scattered clouds.

Allies Hold 1000
Square Miles in
Southern France
MAP on Page A-3.)

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Aug. 19.-Maj. Gen
Alexander M. Patch's 7th Army,
extending its Southern France
beachhead to 1000 square miles,
has speared westward to within
81 miles of Marseille in a drive
flanking Toulon and has plunged
at least 80 miles inland, Allied
headquarters announced today
A front 20 miles broad has beer
driven to the north and behind
Toulon, the French naval base al
which American bombers yesterday
blasted the half submerged French
battleship Strassbourg in an effort
to silence her big guns which were
opposing the Allied attack.
Latest announcements put Ameri-
can and French forces only 6 miles
northeast of Toulon, but other ad-
vance units, speeding over a net
work of inland roads, were pointed
directly toward the Rhone Valley
through routes which bypass Tou-
lon and Marseille.
tThe German communique said
Allied forces had strengthened
their bridegheads in Southern
France, but declared several at
tacks from the land side of Tou-
Ion were broken upJ
Inland Opposition Light.
The farthest inland town captured
was Salernes, 80 miles from the
coast and 35 miles northeast of Tou-
ion. The farthest western town
seized was La Roquebrussanne, IA
miles north of Toulon and 81 miles
from Marseille.
Other towns taken were Sollies-
Pont, Gareoult, Wins and Brignoles,
all north and northeast of Toulon.
In the approach to the naval
base along the coast the Allied
forces encountered some stiff Ger
man resistance west of Bormes, but
inland the opposition was less.
American forward elements were
pushing rapidly into the high ground
west Of La Roquebrussanne. High
way 7, the road on which they are
approaching, leads to the Rhone
Valley at Avignon by way of Aiken
Provence.
Path Toward Rhone Valley.
To the northeast other troops
pushed two miles west of Brignoles
along Highway 7. The advance
through the Argens Valley still far
ther north was approaching Carces,
about seven miles southwest of
Salernes.
The path of the 7th Army obvious
ly was toward the Rhone Valley,
aimed for push up that great
artery to effect a juncture with the
armies driving across Northern
France. These forces were now less
than $50 airline miles apart.
American infantry was spreading
out on both sides of the Argens
Valley. which has been the main
avenue Of attack through the
rugged terrain of the Maritime
Alps.
Advance troops pushed beyond
Salernes, u miles west of ORA
guignan, previously the farthest in
land penetration.
Although the Germans declared
they had abandoned Cannes, there
was no announcement here of an
entry into that resort town. Indi-
cations were that the eastern front
OF the beachhead was relatively
stable.
French Overcome Resistance.
An official announcement said
French troops had overcome the
last enemy resistance in the Car
Benat region. on the coast 81 miles
east of Toulon.
A force of German motor torpedo
boats attempted to attack ships
landing troops Thursday night, the
Navy announced. Allied destroyers
sank four Of them and repulsed the
others.

complete, with brick walks, flower

customary accouterments for such a

Only one cottage, however, is COM
plete in all details, inside and out.
This Is the one to be occupied, in
the story. by Ida Lupino and Will

NAL miSadventures. 1t is built small
but with room enough for Director
Vincent Sherman and his camera
crew to get inside also and film the
business.
Therefore. the walls Of this cot
tage were built wild" meaning that
they are mounted on rollers so they
can be moved In and out as required
by the cameraman. But Sherman
wanted still more. He wanted to be
able TO film the scenes inside from
above as well as from the sides.
Thus the 'raisable roof" was de-
signed.
With set Of pulless and a power
winch the roof of the cottage can
be lifted up like the lid from a
pan and it also can be returned to
place with reverse twist. So far
as Is known, it's the only house in
the f1lm colony which can literally
blow its topper at a given sig

|OPA WARNS QIL
 ! DEALERS TO ACT.
Inventory $ settlement Must Be Filed Within Next
 Ten Days

With the deadline. only ten days away, the State OPA today declared that It would take prompt steps tc suspend all fuel oil dealers in Con- necticut who failed to file an inyen- tory statement with the agency by December 31.
 The necessary forms have been mailed to all dealers registered in the State, OPA. said, asserting there is no excuse for the 85 percent who have not filed as get for not com plying with this requirement.
 The agency also pointed to the fact that the December 31 dead line was substituted for previous filing date on December IS fin or- der to give dealers plenty of time to take a complete inventory of the fuel oil and the ration curren- cy they nave on hand"
 The filling provision aplies to all dealers with a storage capacity of 1000 or more gallons, OPA added, estimating that approximately 1900 concerns are covered by it.
 Particularly strong emphasis was placed on a kindred regulation which requires distributors to re- port to OPA all delinquent accounts within seven days after they have failed to make payment in rationing currency for fuel oil received.
 The same regulation sets 72 hours as the time within which dealers should report consumers who have received an absentee delivery of fuel oil and who have defaulted on ra- tion payment for it.
