Officers Said Slow Oarrying Out Orders

NEW YORK. July as -- (AP) High Command Propaganda spokesman, told the German peo- ple today the "conspiracy" against Hitler "has inflicted important harm on the striking power of our field army,” particularly on the Soviet front.

The broadcast, recorded by the Federal Communications Commis- sion, charged that German officers on the central sector opposing the Russians had sabotaged military operations by failing to carry out orders with necessary speed. Ditt- rnar also promised that “some measures" would be taken to halt the Red Armies.

IKJNDON, Jilly 5 — (AP) — Adolf Hitler tonight invested Mar- shal Goering and Propaganda Chief Goebbels with sweeping powers over German public and private life and in effect placed Germany and the occu led terri- tories under an arch- szl qua- drumvirate.

Last Ounce of Strength

Hitler issued a decree naming Goering and Goebbels to extract from the peoples of "the greater German Reich and the occupied countries the last ounce of strength for the Germany army and the arms industry," and he empow- cred them to “issue instructions" to even the highest Reich auth- orities, whoever they may be. Having apparently insured Nazi control of the army by last week's ruthless Himmler-directed purge of rebellious Junkers. tonight's move was directed at clinc ing control of the home front. Goering was appointed chair- man of the ministerial council for defence of the Reich and Goebbels was named his executor as Reichs Coinmisssr for total mobilization for war.

Bitter Fighting

TH THE‘ CANADIANS IN FRANCE. July 25 — (CP Cab1e)—- in the bitterest fighting of the Normandy campaign, Can- adian formations have captured the village of Verrieres, just west of the Caen-Falaise highway six miles south of Caen and the Ger- mans are counter-attacking strori - ly tonight with upwards of tanks and self-propelled guns. Prom the time the attack was

has been a bitter, bloody battle. Canadian infantry, carrying the burden of the new offensive and supported by Canadian armor as well as British troops on certain sectors, fought over farmland sim-

iliar to other areas where the Canadians have been in action in Normandy.

The Canadian advance has not been spectacular during the first day of this attack and the gains have been Just over a mile.

British staff officers said the Canadians face the strongest op- position to appear on any omvsec- tor of_the Normandy front and that the fighting has been extremely heavy.

The enemy has a fairly large amount of armor at his disposal and the counter-attack at Verri- eres with tanks and self-propelled guns indicates he is willing to commit to strike back at the Can- adians.

Great interest is shown hare in the new American offensive west of St 1.0. which is speeding up now after a slow start.

ALLIED SUPREME HEAD- QUARTERS, July 25 — (CE; ‘lhc Allied armies in Normandy, opened the greatest co-ordinated offensive of the invasion today as British and Canadian forces ham- meted out gains south of Caen against some of the strongest Ger- man resistance of the entire cam- paign and American formations smashed‘ into enemy positions west

St. o.

With the Supreme Command- er, Gen. Eisenhower, on the bcachhead to confer with field comma s for '1 l-Z hours as the big push got under way, the Allied armies struck to end a relative stalemate of several days’ duration.

Canadian infantrymcn and or- mor was heavily engaged in tho thrust launched on a four-mile front at 3.30 a.m. from positions south and southeast of Caen and British formations fought along with the Canadians. At least two towns were taken in a one-mile advance through terrific enemy opposition, including Panther tanks and Sift-mm. guns.

Yanks Begin at Noon

Headquarters said the advance was maintained during the day de- spite the enemy resistance. WIlICJ produced "heavy fighting.”

The American 1st Army launch- ed its drive at noon after what headquarters communique no. 100 described as “very large forces" oi heavy, medium and light bomb- ers and fighter-bombers joined in c concentrated aerial assault.

Dispatches from the front said the aerial assault on this western sector of the front was borne by more than 3,000 American planes, the biggest aerial fleet ever hurl- ed at a German battleline.

His only regret was that it did not form part of a com- prehensive social security program.
