Cable) - The com- ing second battle oi’ the campaign in France, which will see t e clash of mighty forces. may be fought right here in Nnrmandy. pivoting on the Caen sector. As the first month of the campaign nears its end, this eastern front of the beac-hhead, narrow as it is, is bursting with troops, tanks and

guns. The British Army never in its history has concentrated such af force as this, and the Canadians are making their contribution. This massed strength here is opposed by powerful German for- ces. Crack panzer divisions fr0m reserves in the past have been rushed to the Caen sector. con- stantly harried on the move by R F. squadrons- Now these armies face each oth-

er.

The British firmly hold a salient jutting out menaclngly into German territory southwest of Cnem- The flanks bristle with hundreds of anti- tank guns, field guns and Brltish armor. The infantry who Won this ground have been dying in the POPPY fields and every mfmflfl blowua ainst the salient has been repe .

On Saturday there w fighting from dawn to dusk on t e western flank as the enemy threw in what was intended to be a. large-scale attack. Artillery hit it before it rol- led, but the Germans pressed for- ward despite losses. By midnight at least 30 German tanks had been knocked nut. The enemy had ta- ken s beating and on Sunday they could not follow up their attack.

i War Situation Last Night“

By Kirkc L. Simpson, Associated Pleas War Asulyst

Striking anew on a Ail-mile from down the Chcrbourg s ' sula.

' troops holding the Allied right of lino in Irlnoe are executing

a swift squeeze play in 1m attempt to rout the Nazi foe from the lllt tri-

angular scgment of the Normandy foreland and pave the way for the next major pliusc of the continental invasion.

Their objective appears to be the Caen-Avranchcs highway which spans the base of the Cherbourg Peninsula from the Orne River month on Seine Bay in the east to the Bay of Si. Male between the Normandy and Brittany Penlnsullas in the west. That would straighten and shorten the Allied front in Normandy and give it a triple system of lateral roads as well as the Cnen-Chcrhourg rnllvray, all fed out of Cherbonrg harbor, over which to service the fighting lines for the next big move against the foe.

The speed with ivliich the American wing of the line was thrown into reverse after the clearing of the head of the Cherbourg Peninsula may have caught the enemy more or less napping. Initial advances of nearly three miles were achieved.

Tivofing on their junction with British forces east of St. Lo, the Am- erican troops are effecting :1 swing southward to straighten the line as a preliminary to n further general advance, whether in the Loire mouth across the base of the Brittany Peninsula or possibly directly on Paris. Yer no one cxccnt the Allied high command knows certainly where the main battles in France are planned.

Since ihe first landings the enemy has not dared draw on his force deployed along the vhnnnfll and north sea coasts cast oi’ Seine Bay to meet the iln-cnt in Normandy for fear of weakening his lines to ihc point nf vulucrnbiliiv at points closer io Berlin than any yet reached by the Allies in the west.

Sunbury, said in the budget debate today that financing proposals set forth by Finance Minister Ilsley last week represented a change of government policy due to ‘ rev- ersion to political expediency." Mr Hanson said the essence oi the budget was that increased borrmvinu WAS to be relied on to absorb :1 marked increase in gov- ernmcnt érpendiiurcs "Along that path lies inflation." he s id The eoveluuncnt sought to ‘tip-

thore were long hours on "alert."

Victims of the flying rockets were disclosed today to have in- eluded Mai-Gen. Sir Arthur Scott. retired, his wife, Aimee Byng. e. novelist. and Sir Percy Alden, lec- turer and social worker.

There is much about the flying rocket campaign that can't yet be told but many hope Prime Minis- ter Churchill will disclose at least some of it tomorrow in a report to the House of Commons.

A spcalcer on a German radio claimed the flying bombs were as accurate ns the orthodox bomb dropped from s height of five l miles.

In the third week of this cam- . puiun the people of southern Eng- laud are adjusting themselves more and more to its consequences

Today's barrage of bombs ended a brief night lull and the German- controlled Paris radio claimed Ply- mouth and Portsmouth were the principal targets.
