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. England llas Lull 8 PAGES Domini In Heav .

Quality of flavour is of prime importance to-day‘ when quantity is limited. Financial support from the state for the families of the nation re- ceived the approval, in principle, of spokesmen for three parties in the House of Commons as debate began today on the Family’ A.- iowances Bill. Prime Minister Mackenzie King. 09-year-old bachelor leader of the Liberal party, held forth the scheme as a means of ensuring freedom from want. For the Pro- gressive Conservative party, Gor- don Graydon, House leader. en- dorsed the principle aiid objective of adjusting the extra burdens borne by parents of families, but he called the bill unconstitutional, inadequate for the purpose and “illusory, hastily prepared and un- tenable"; For the (Io-operative Commonwealth Federation, M. J. Caldwell, the leader of that group, said he welcomed the measure as "u belated recognition cf human rights." His only regret was that it did not form part of a com- prehensive social security program. Mr. Gray challenged the con- stitutionallty of the bill in an am- endment to the motion for second reading which was dcclorcd out of order. In it he askcd that. the bill be sent to the social security coni- mittee for redrafting after coii- sultation with the provinces that it could be made into a ioint Dominion-Provincial scheme. His appeal from the speaker's ruling was voted dowii by 127 to 30 and later Justice Minister st.

Graydorfs Objections "We support the purpose and family life among the masses of our people, but we do not believe this bill will adequately or effec- tively carry that out," said Mr. Graydon. He formulated his objections in five points: l It is unconstitutional and in- vadcs the jurisdiction of the pro- vinccs. 2. It seriously endangers the setting up of mirilmum wage standards in Canada. It may be accepted in many instances as a substitute for better wage levels. 3. It adds a further strain or. national unity.
