PAGE SIX EYE WITNESS OFINVASION TELLS STORY Correspondé;utv Describes Scene of New Al- lied Blow By KE ETH DIXON ON A B-25 MITCHELL BOMBER OVER SOUTHERN FRANCE, Aug.| So far as I could see from a of 1,000 feet above the where the Allies smashed less than an hour ago, no fighting has yet developed. As far as 20 miles inland a com-| plete lack of any sign of struggle| marked the rugged landscape from | this vantage point. New Allied blows at southern| France this morning appeared to| be meeting almost no resistance in the preliminary stages. There is| plenty of visual evidence, however,| of the preliminary stages of &1er Allied operation. Parachute and glider landings were carried out successfully. We came in on the first wave of the glider troops to strike southern France. Some miles inland they cut loose, and we could see where 4/ tow pianes had gliaed down mtu little meadows between rugged crags, just within the coastline. With the exception of the few who crashed in ditches or fences or turned over on their backs, the| 15 height beaches ashore major gliders seemed to make it sniely.‘ Nowhere was there any sign of resistance to them.

A small ma- chine moved beetle-like under the wing of a nearby glider and headed toward the one in trouble. “There goes the first airborne jeep in action in southern rruuce, said Corp. Bill Luneback, the bomber’s radio operator. Along the coast out to the sea there was a complete lack of gun flashes or any other sign of action. 2,000Allied Bombers Hit Doomed Nazis Germans inmasion Paths Are Blasted and Bases Hit LONDON, Aug. 15.—At least 2,000 American and British heavy bomb- ers were hurled against Germany, Holland and Belgium, while other hundreds’of planes from Italy and England laid explosive carpets on the Nazis in the paths of the in- vasions in northern and southern France. At least 19 German air force bases and non-operational stations were deluged with around 8,000 tons of bombs in widespread attacks de- . signed to knock out what was left of Hitler's air units before the enemy can marshal his remaining strength in an all-out support of the desperate German ground forces. More than 1,100 British Lancast- er and Halifax heavy bombers at- tacked nine German fighter bases in Belgium and Holland, and caught 20 to 30 planes parked on each field. Only two of the big craft were lost. American fighters es- corted RAF bombers for the first time. - e — LUNDBURG HOME IN .

In a spectal service devoted to this subject, Pastor H. L. Wood de- clared the movement for the new | calendar to be anti-religious, point- ing out that its adoption “would bring great confusion and perplexity to the people of all religions who conscientiously worship on definitely fixed days of the weekly cycle, whether it be Sunday, Saturday, Friday, or any other day.” The resolution adopted points out that the change in the calendar to adjust a.365'%-day year, to 364 days to be divided into equal quarters of 91 days each would “irreverently disturb and set aside fixed religious days of the world’s great faiths, Catholic, Protstant, and Jewish.” Plans were mapped in this meet- ing or carrying on an educational campaign by which the various ef- fects of the proposed new calendar would be felt in religious circles. The advocates of this calendar, it was pointed out, propose that it be adopted on January 1, 1945. In Sunday, it is proposed that Sunday, December 31, be declared “a world In reality Monday then,| weekly cycle, | as it has come down through the | ages, would be made Sunday, the first day of the new calendar for the year.
