"In point of fact, reembarka tion of the main force engaged was begun aix minutes after the time scheduled and has been completed nine hours after the initial landing, as planned. "In addition to destruction of a six-gun battery and ammuni tion dump reported in our earlier communique, a radio lo cation ttation and a Flak (anti aircraft) battery, were de stroyed. "Apart from losses inflicted n the enemy, vital experience , tmi been gained in the employ ment of substantial numbers of troops in an assault and in transportation and use of heavy equipment during combined op erations. "Our. new tank landing craft were in action today for the first time. "There was Intense activity by aircraft , of all operational Commandos of the RAF in sup port of the landing of our troops against enemy defence?; and air fighting on a most In tense scale also developed." By ROGER D. GREENE Associated Press War Editor United States and allied ground forces carried out a huge commando raid against the nazi Occupicd French invasion coast at Dieppe with tanks and heavy weapons today and withdrew after nine hours of ferocious fighting with their mission com pleted. . The battle at Dieppe raged at its full: fury all day while giant U S. army Flying Fortresses pounded a German fighter plane base at nearby Abbeville. Nail Claims -The Germans claimed the de struction " Of three destroyers, two motor torpedo boats and two transports, 28 tanks, and the capture of some 1,500 prisoners. The German news agency DNB asserted at 10:30 a. tn. (PWT) that the big-scale allied landing attempt had ended In a debacle and that since this af ternoon there was "not a single armed British, American or Ca nadian left on the European continent." Heavy fighting raged in the Dieppe area late this afternoon amid Indications that a major operation was unfolding pos sibly even a second front, al though British quarters discoun ted the idea of a full scale inva sion. "Soft Spot" As the allies attacked hour after hour without sign of a let up, the possibility - if not the probability appeared Uiat what began as the greatest com mando raid of the war may have found a "soft spot" which might become a genuine invasion spearhead. Black-suited commandos of the four United Nations Amer icans, Canadians, Britons and fighting Frenchmen drove their tanks and guns into nazi lines, blew up defenses and cap tured at least one beachhead by assault. "Troops taking part in the raid have landed at all points selected. It was announced. "The military force consists mainly of Canadian troops." U.

Reds Rally (In London a British source vbom it was not permitted to identify by name said the Ger mans had made some progress toward Stalingrad, reaching but not crossing the Don river at the bend. He declared,' how ever, that Russian resistance had stiffened in the Caucasus, slowing German progress con siderably).

Bitter German aerial opposition was reported. 1,000 Planes Observers on the English shore said more planes than were ever seen or heard over the channel shuttled across to at tack the enemy or reload, Indi cating that perhaps 1,000 or more allied aircraft were in action. As the battle developed with the Germans conceding that al lied forces were attacking on both sides of Dieppe, there was still ho official indication whether it was an attempt to open a second front. The BBC had told the French people many hours earlier that .it was not an Invasion, presumably to forestall a popular revolt. However, military strategy would dictate that the British have strong reserves massed in southern England ready to take advantage of any "soft spot" the commandos might find in nazi coastal defenses. French Warned The BBC warned the French not to rise in support of the allies until they were given the word, in order to prevent rep etition of the tragic St. Na Zaire battle in which French patriots fought the nazis for days after British commando raiders had withdrawn. Bloody reprisals were exacted by the Germans in that instance, Taking part In today's spec tacular assault, it was announc ed, were American Rangers named for Rogers' Rangers of Indian fighter fame In American colonial libtory chosen "from among an avalanche of volun teers for commando training in the British Isles." it's CAL TONITE CAJL-ORE HIOMWAV 7 SOUTH 5 - V "V u Oregon and the f Hy of CITY BRIEFS Reports Theft Mae Ripley ot 828 High street reported to city police today that a trunk, suit case, cedar chest and roll of bed ding had been taken from the front lawn of her son s home at 1012 Donald street sometime be tween 10 a. m. and four p. m.
