The green! fields are in cultivation, and what | might have been suited for airfields are checkerboarded with wooden stakes about 25 feet apart . At least | one glider pilot landed in these | fields without banging up his load | of paratroops and supplies, and ex- perts are still wondering how he did it | The Germans had placed a lot of faith in their Atlantic defenses for there were little or no scorched earth operations visible. A fnwi houses and barns were damaged but these were mostly on the coast. A machine gun nest and 88 m.m. guns have given the airborne troops the most trouble. Their favorite tactic is to take a bearing on the | glider, wait until it lands, and then drop heavy stuff on it. Americans are puzzled by the presence of so many Frenchmen and their attitude. “They certainly aren’t greeting the Yanks with open arms. Some of them waved rather weakly,” one young officer said. “They seem bashful in a dazed sort of way. Maybe the Germans did that to them.” ZENGER 1S ELECTED ‘ TREASURER OF USO, At the meeting last night of the | Committee of Managament of the | : USO, the resignation of Capt. T. J.
