By 1st Lt. Weldon James Aboard the USS Texas (De layed) The Germans "knew" the great invasion was coming on that historft June 6, and told the natives so the day before, warning them to take to their shelters or the back country. But that Isn't as sensational as it sounds. The French didn't be lieve it, and the evidence shows that the Germans didn't either not where they were invaded, any way. Spend a day ashore touring up and down an eight-mile sector plastered by the guns of the Tex as and other ships of this bom bardment force, and you can learn some surprising things. Most Stayed On The French had not been cleared out for 50 miles back from the coast. The Germans had warned, but not forced them to leave Most stayed on, and are right there to give you the "V" sign from the water's edge on back. The French told us that they were skeptical when the Ger mans said June 6, would be in vasion day because this was "at least the tenth time this spring" that the Germans' invasion jit ters had tightened to the predic tion point a particularly favor ite scare period, they said, had been May 17, 18, 19. After so many cries of "wolf," the French announced to each other, and to the Germans, that they would head for their shelter only when they heard gunfire from the sea. Outside evidence of the com plete tactical surprise suffered by the Germans is afforded by the major developments of the campaign to date. On the beach lself we found minor but strik ing, local confirmation. The com mander of a German six-inch gun battery, a Captain Herze berg, had written a letter on June 5 to a friend in Berlin, be ginning, "My lovely wife and child arrived today (apparently from Stettin) to visit me . . ." The captain never got to post that letter. Srong Point Unhlt Though Allied air forces sev eral times had bombed one lo cal strong-point studded with steel and concrete casemates 10 feet thick on their rounded tops and six feet thick on sides, and sunk into the earth, not one case mate had been hit. Natives said bombs had frequently landed within 200 yards of each case mate, but never damaged it. Naval five-inch shells, it was obvious, had literally bounced off the dome-like tops, merely chipping them. But the 14-inch, 1500-pound shells of the Texas, arched over with deadly accu racy from a point 12,000 yards distant, had opened up each one wide. Some of these shells, also, changed the French coastline a bit, making sloping beaches where before there had been towering cliffs. The army and the- navy's famed Seabecs have worked a miracle of organizing a port, building roads and pouring a steady stream of soldiers, guns, tanks and supplies inland from a wide spot on a country beach that never saw anything bigger than a fishing smack before. Detroit, June 29 4U.R) First degree murder charges against Richard Vincent, 20, were dis missed in circuit court today after Rqbert William Turner, 20f Detroit war worker, -confessed the slaying on March 28 of Joyce Raulston, pretty blonde schoolgirl. Prosecutor William E. Dowl ing announced Turner's arrest, then proceeded to the courtroom and asked Judge William Fried man to dismiss the charges against Vincent "in the interest of justice." Friedman complied, but told the defendant that "you yourself are responsible for your two weeks trial on these charges" of murdering the 14-year-old girl. Horseback Riders Make Long Jaunt On Old Stage Roqd Two young horsewomen, Mrs. Robert Young of Medford and Miss Shirlee Anderson of Grants Pass, left Medford early this morning on horseback to return to Miss Anderson's home, four miles beyond Grants Pass from where they rode last Sunday. The trip was planned merely for fun and adventure and, ac cording to the riders, provides a wonderful opportunity for sightseeing. Mrs. Young and Miss Ander son left Grants Pass about 7 a. m. Sunday and arrived at the stables of the Dodge academy here about midnight, having made a leisurely trip with many stops. They chose the Old Stage road In favor of the highway and will return that way today. Miss Anderson's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Earl Patterson and Mrs. Young Is making her home In Medford with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Nordwick, 919 Reddy avenue, while her husband, Capt. Robert Young, is overseas. BIBLE TO HARVARD Cambridge, Mass (U.R) A Gutenberg Bible, one of 10 com plete copies known to be in this country, has been added to the Harvard college collection in Widener library by George D. Widener of Philadelphia, broth er of Harry Elkins Widener, in whose memoriam the library was erected. Closing time for 8unday Too late to Classify 6:30 Saturday afternoon Please remember. RECEIVE MEDALS FOR SEA Four Jackson county men are included in a group of five awarded the Soldier's Medal for attempting the rescue of a navy pilot last January 13 at Fort Stevens on the Oregon coast.

According to the war depart ment dispatch the men fought their way to the end of a jetty during a violent wind storm and attempted to rescue the pilot, who was swept out to sea. The men were credited with "willing self-sacrifice and heroism," ac cording to the citation. Because of the high wind, none of the men were able to keep their footing and all were lacerated on the 'sharp rocks during the rescue attempt. Sgt.
