Yanks Advance; At Other End 0f Normandy Line ALLIED SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, July 9 ._ (CP Cable) — A massive twin drive by British and Cana- dian lflllkS-fihd infantry smashed the stout German de- fences OlllSlde battered Czien and the key port city which Field Marshal Rommel hzid used as an anchor point at. the egiggend of the Normandy battle-line fell into Allied hands y. At the other end of the Allied line American troops stamped out the last suicidal enemy resistance in La Haye Du Puits on the Chcrhourp: Peninsula. Canadian infantry and armor drove into the ruins of Caen and occupied that half the ciiy north of the river whileBritish formations seized the other half. GATEWAY TO PARIS The rubble-filled gateway town lo Paris, which had been a barrier to the Normandy advance for a month, was occupied after an all-out 36 hour British-Canadian of- fensive, supported by largo-scale air bombzirdmenis and artillery barrages. The Canadians scored what Ross Munro, Canadian Press war correspondent, described in a field dispatch as “a brilliant victory” in their thrust inio Caen from the northwest. They drove through half a dozen towns and hamlets in their advance. Eyewitnesses accounts indicat- ed the fighting was heavy, with the Germans fighting des- perzifely. Japs Lost , 10.000 Dead In PEARL HARBOR, July 9 -(AP) -The United States forces "have completed the conquest of Saipnn." Pacific Fleet Headquarters un- nounced today, adding that or- ganized resistance on the Japan- ese island ended yesterday after- noon. Liquidation of the scattered and disorganized remnants of the de- fenders who lost more than 10,- 000 dead ls proceeding rapidly, a communique said. ’ Ari estimated 1,500 of that total died in one characteristically inst cliesperate counter-attack on Thurs- BY. Great Possibilities The strategic potentialities of Saipan are perhaps the greatest of any so far attained by the Un- ited States in the Pacific. Equipped with airfielrls which now will need only repair and en- larging, the island stands 1,500 miles from Tokyo, an easy stride for the new and powerful fleet of superfortress bombers. Moreover, it has harbor facilities capable oi’ supplying fighting ships. American casualties in Salpan through June 2B totalled 9,752 of which 1.474 were killed. Carrier. planes again bombed, straffed, and showered rocket bombs on Guam and Rota islands, flanking Saipan in the Marianas chain, during the last two days cl’ the Bround campaign. \ 50th Wedding ' Anniversary And Reunion The golden anniversary of their wedding was observed i/cstcrday by M1".
