Churchill Pleased

IQIDON June 6—-(AP)—Pri|ne Minister Oliiirchlll said tonight that Allied troops have etrated

some cases several es inland from the coast of France. and that "this operat irproceedin, in a thoroughly satisfactory manner" gala losses far len than antici-

In his second statement b: the louse of Commons on this D-day. Mr. Churchill said he had been at

‘ where the latest informa- tion was received, and reported that ‘the passage of the sea has been made with far less loss than we apprehended."

lie said it appeared that tact- icsl surprise had been achieved over the Germans as the Allies es- teblitshed lodgmenis "on s broad roll ."

."The resistance of batteries has been greatly weakened by the bombing o! the air force, and the superior bombardment of our ships greatly reduced their fire to dimensions which did not affect the problem." he said, adding that “airborne troops are well estab- lished and the followups all are Proceeding with very much less oss than we expected."

After visiting headquarters of Gen. D. Eisenhower with the King Mr. Churchill described those air-

p|e's, Paper (levers Priaoe Edward island Lille the Dew CHARWFTlITOWN. CANADA, vuioucsnnuvjuus 1, 1944

borne landings as "outstanding feat on a scale far larger than anv- thing there hes been so far in the world. These iandi s took place with extremely little oes and great accuracy."

_ “Many dangers and difficulties which appeared at this time last night extremely formidable are be ind us," Mr. Churchill said.

liazi Air Force Expected Soon

LONDON. June 6—In addition to heavy courlterattacks expected to be launched by Gel-mun ground troops in France within a matter of days or even hours, it also was anticipated here that the Nazi air force would pitch violently into the battle soon. The Germans are estimated to have probably 1.750 fighters and 500 bombers avail- able for the defence of the lvest. By comparison. the great Allieri Blane fleets which led the assault efore dawn today extended across 200 miles of sky and used naviga- tion lights to maintain formation.
