Invasion Forces Find Eager
Welcome in Move Inland;
DeLuxe Landing for Most

Three miles inland on road
from Ste. Maxine and Plan De
La Tour, France, Aug. 16 (U.R)
French men, women and chil
dren stood in front of their
houses along this road last night
and this morning weeping,
laughing, throwing kisses and
cheering their liberators..
I moved inland with the first
French troops landing in south
ern France. All along the way
the civilians shouted happily:
"The liberators. Long live
France. Go get those Boches.
Things will be better now."
Share Red Wine
Franch units mingled with
Americans and shared bottles
of good red wine which the vil
lagers passed up and down to
the truckloads of soldiers.
The first French civilian I
saw was standing in front of a
waterfront house which had
been ruined by the pre-invasion
naval barrage. He alternately
embraced the French soldiers
and thrust out a bottle of wine.
"You Frenchmen, drink!" he
urged. "I have lost everything
but it doesn't matter. Vive La
France! Drink! Drink!"
I did not get a swig from that
bottle. It was for Frenchmen
only.
Many women In shorts rode
calmly by on bicycles, weaving
through the lines of jeeps and
trucks.

Invasion De Luxe
This was an invasion de luxe
and a dry landing for most of
the Americans and French and
this correspondent.
When I went ashore from a
British luxury liner at 9 o'clock
last night, troops were flowing
from the landing ships onto the
beaches where wire netting
made a firm roadway leading
through breaches blasted in six
feet high, five feet wide cement
anti-tank wall onto the tarred
coastal highway.
Only once in the course of the
evening and night was there
a sign of Germans. That was
early in the evening when two
Nazi sneak raiders tossed bombs
harmlessly into the bay and
provoked a brief fire.
Later about 150 silent Ger
man prisoners were marched
out of the darkness like sheep,
guarded by a few Americans
and they settled quietly at the
edge of the beach for the night
waiting to be shipped back to
prisoner of war camps.

Nude Woman Walks Thru
Crowded Camp Without
Attracting Glance.
By Richard W. Johnson
United Press War Correspondent
Saipan, Aug. 7 (U.R) I stood
by a barbed wire fence today
and watched a hot and skillfully
contested game of baseball play
ed without benefit of bats or
gloves, and as I turned away a
40-year-old woman walked down
a crowded street without attract
ing so much as a glance, although
she was stark naked.
Two pretty girls walked by
and managed to smile and bow,
despite the five-foot-long four
by fours balanced on their
heads.
Young and old women squat
ted on their haunches outside
the rows of barraek-like struc
tures roofed with tin and sided
with thatch. They cooked rice
over tiny fires. All of them
smoked long cigarettes.
People Everywhere
There were people every
where, sleeping by the dozens
inside the houses, gathering at
the cisterns in the town square;
the women in sleazy blouses and
silk ankle length pants, the men
In cheap greenish khaki of the
Japanese uniform.
This was the "city" of Camp
Susupe, the home of the 13.000
civilians who fled to Salpan's
caves when our attack came and
have been surrendering in in
creasing numbers ever since. It
had grown in six weeks from a
tiny compound to the size of a
small American town.
I wandered around the camp
today with Lt. C. G. Barry, a
navy civil affairs officer who
used to be in the newspaper
business himself.
The baseball game was In the
Korean section of the town, and
involved two dozen excited kids
of high school age who used an
old tennis bnll and batted it
with thoir hands.
Terror Takes Mind 1
The naked woman wandered
listlessly- through the Japanese
area, pitiful but harmless, her
mind gone in the days of terror
in the caves where the Japanese
soldiers daily assured the civil
ians the American monsters
would torture them. She has
been given clothing but forgets
to wear it.
The cleanest, happiest part of
the town is that reserved for
the Chamorro natives, who look
like gentle, dreamy Mexicans,
speak Spanish and are all Span
ish Catholics.
The civil affairs and army and
navy and murine officers who
have had jurisdiction here have
struggled with great problems of
food and sanitation. Covered
latrines have been dug, but many
of the Japanese neglect to use
them.
There is 'a hospital of tents,
with clean cots and cooperative
Japanese nurses to aid the white
doctors.
Camp Susupe is full of evil
! smells and tragic eights, but Friday, August 18, 1944
liupo 15 cumins uatK ill me lines
of its one-benumbed inhabitants.
NIMUZ EXPECTS
E
By United Press
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz
was revealed today to be expect
ing, reinforcements soon from
the European theater to acceler
ate the war against Japan while
American airmen struck again
at the Philippines and other en
emy targets through the Pacific.
Nimitz' disclosure was made
at a press conference in Guam
after a six hour tour of the re
captured island.
He described the newly con
quered Marianas islands as all
important to the allied campaign
in the Pacific but said that
Japan could not be defeated by
naval action alone and that
bases would be needed in China
to Insure victory.
He emphasized his belief that
even if the Japanese surren
dered before the homeland was
invaded, the country would
have to be occupied to "win the
peace."
