Tractors save lot of work on Ohio
farms but they also were the cause
of 40 per cent of all accidents due to
mishaps with machinery in one year.
Many of the accidents could have been
avoided if safety guards and shields
had been kept in place, if the opera
tor rode on the seat always, il child
rem never were allowed to ride, and If
the operator remembered that the
hazard of overturning increases four
times when the speed is doubled.

PARISIANS REVOLTED
Meantime the main 3rd Army
advance was speeding eastward,
racing past Lemans, Chartres,
ST. Arnoult and into sight of the
Eiffel Tower. AS it approached
the capital, the citizens them
selves rose in force against the
Nazi garrison and after four
days bitter street fighting
flashed the word the Germans
had surrendered. 1t turned out
TO be only a Nazi ruse, but 48
hours later, American and
French tanks rumbled into the
city to complete the liberation
of the first enemy-held Allied
capital.
The battle Of France now
drew rapidly to a close.

leans, the historic road center sc
miles below the capital. From
there Patton's rough riders
smashed on TO Troyes on the
upper Seine and beyond to
Reims, ripping through the
Marine and Aisne river barriers
and across the famous battle
fields of 1918 in a whirlwind
drive for Belgium and the Ger
man Siegfried line.
North of Paris, the Germans
were abandoning their line east
of the Seine, from the capital
to the sea and their robot bomb
bases along the channel coast.
BY the end of August, the Ger
man armies in all of northern
France were in headlong flight

ley on the right AS darkness set
tied down, a sky train so miles
long started TO arrive from Eng
land with additional men and
weapons.
TIE POINTS IMPORTANT
In the days that followed a
succession of struggles began
for the little country towns
which were the tie points in the
all-important network Of roads
across Normandy.
Losing no time, the British
struck out 10 capture the an
cient town of Bayeux and cut
off the highway between Bay
eux and Caen, a five-way road
hub at the Atlantic end Of the
peninsula's base. The Americans
took Ste. Mere Eglise, 10 miles
from Cherbourg. and then Va
logncs. only II miles from that
first major objective Of the cam
paign.
The Germans continued TO
hold out stoutly al Caen so now
the American end of the line
began 10 expand more rapidly
than the British. Hard-driving
Yank columns occupied Monte
bourg, nine miles from Cher
bourg, after a bitter house-to-
house struggle and then pushed
on westward along the roads
converging on the port itself.
Then, on June %. an event
occurred which almost collapsed
the invasion strategy. A great
channel gale, the first in 80
years, smashed the Allied life
line of supply ships with winds
reaching 20 miles an hours and
waves IA feet high. Hundreds of
the smaller ships were swamp
ed and miles of the Normandy
shoreline was piled up with the
wreckage. Meanwhile the Allied
beachhead force was rapidly us
ing up its stores of food and am
munition. Because of censor
ship. few back in America knew
how near the campaign was to
disaster. Just in time. the storm
abated and the work of supply
resumed.
Cherbourg was taken June q
by American tanks and infan-
try, smashing into the city on
top Of terrific aerial, naval
and artillery bombardment. En-
gineers fastened TO clear the
port and restore it for use by
Allied shipping.
Then the Allied time table
went haywire among the apple
trees and barnyards of Norman
dy. The Nazis found the crazy
patchwork of earthern hedge
rows which criss-crossed the
whole countryside ideal terrain
for defensive battle. They yield
ed nothing without exacting a
price in lives or prolonged ar
tillery bombardment.
During the next four weeks,
the Allies were able only to
straighten their peninsula line
so that it ran from the British
anchor before Caen through st.
Lo in the center of the PENN |
sula to a point just above Les

on the west coast.

Unitsl Press Staff Correspondent
All Europe was tense and ex-
pectant in the spring of 1914.
One word-"invasion" - was
on everybody's lips. The great
Allied counter-blow launched at
FL Alamein had reached its eli
matte moment. The time was
now.
On one side of the channel
moat lay Britain, transformed
into a vast invasion base. Her
green fields crawled with huge
armies summoned from all the
Allied world. Miles of big guns,
tanks and armored vehicles
TANNED her country lanes. From
her myriad airstrips, swarms of
Allied bombers were raining an
average of 10000 tons of bombs
q week on Fortress Europe.
Across the water, from Nor
way down to Spain, stretched
the Nazi Atlantic wall, bristling
with forts, tank traps, mine
fields and. repeatedly, rocket
guns. The Germans boosted this
barrier was deepening and stiff
fleming daily, and Joseph Goeb-
bells limited darkly about the I'M
pleasant surprises in store for
the Allied troops.
AS the H-hour of D-day drew
near, the war of nerves reached
new peaks. The Allied COM
mander Gen. Dwight d. Eisen-
hover broadcast last-minute in
structions to Europe's under
ground: diplomats were forbid
den to send uncensored dis
patches from Britain; travel to
Fire was stopped. In response,
the Berlin and satellite radios
stepped up their warnings of
fierce reprisals to the captive
peoples.
BLOW FELL JUNE 6
The blow was struck on the
morning of June 6. Its punch
and scope surpassed the worst
Nazi fears. In the greatest am
phibious operation the world
had ever seen, an armada of
1000 ships, covered by an air
fleet Of 1900 planes, landed
armies of the United States, Bri-
tain and Canada on the coast of
France.
The target was a 40-mile
stretch of the rugged Normandy
peninsula which has Cherbourg
at its tip. The Allied assault
forces stormed ashore at 6 a. m.
while rows Of United Nations
warships stood off the beaches
and poured 1000 tons of explo-
sives into the German defenses.
MlneSWeepers had cleared the
sea lanes and underwater obsta-
cles proved less formidable than
expected. In most areas the in
vaders secured beachheads after
sharp but brief fighting. But in
some, entrenched enemy mortar
and machine gun crews put up
bitter and bloody battle and in
these the Allies, particularly the
Canadians and the Americans,
suffered severe losses.
The enemy finally was flat
tened in all sectors and by night
fall the invasion forces were
fighting their way inland, the
British and Canadians under 1t.

BRADLEY STRUCK HARD

Five days later, after thun-
derous aerial bombardment in
which a stray bomb cost the life
of 1t. Gen. Leslie McNair, Brad
iey's doughboys struck in the
western sector. They struck with
a force that was not 10 be resist

Shredding the German line,
the u. S. 3rd Army took Lessay,
Perier, and the road center OF
Coutances, reacned out % miles
to blast a corridor out of the
peninsula at Avranches, and
drove armore spearheads
through onto the rolling hills Of
Brittany.
The war suddenly had chang
ed from a battle of position to
battle of lightning maneuver.
No one was surprised when it
was revealed that the 3rds COM
mander was fire-eating, pistol
packing L.. Gen. George S. Pat
ton, Jr., who emerged from the
shadow of a soldier Shaping in
cident of the previous August.
Fast-rolling American coll
umns thrust westward onto Brit
tany in multiple drives for the
ports of Brest, Lorient and St.
Nazaire, vitality needed TO meet
the increasing supply needs Of
the Allied armies. With the fate
of these sealed, the Yanks struck
eastward. Doubling the German
lines back at right angles, swift
columns cut straight along the
main roads without waiting to
widen tn cir communications
corridor.
TRAP LESSON
Then it became apparent that
this drive, apparently aimed at
Paris, actually was a Well-dis-
guised lesson in entrapment. For
branching off from the main
American force was a series of
developing sweeps aimed at I'M
dercutting the German 7th
Army facing the British and Ca
nadians.
The first of these was aimed
at cutting the German retreat
route eastward from Caen be-
tween the towns of Falaise and
Argentan, thus closing the neck
Of big pocket whose other sides
were the British and Canadian
sectors of the front. When shat
tered remnants of the German
7th managed TO escape from this
bag, they only fell into a larger
one formed by other u. S. spear
heads stabbing north to the
Seine river 80 miles northwest
of Paris.
Within this second trap thrash
ed an estimated $4,000 to 100,-

the 9TH but part of the 18th
army fleeing southwark from lie
