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."

tive "umbrella" over the land
assault forces. . 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,

mended government allocation
of meats to butcher shops and
other retail outlets to permit
equitable distribution of limited
supplier.
The recommendation resulted
from an unprecedented war de
mand for meats during a season
al shortage that developed in
several sections of the country,
particularly In the cast. Some
packers claim that the govern
ment policy of maintaining ceil
ings on prices of meats and none
on livestock has contributed to
the shortage. They explain that
several packing plants hnve been
forced to close due to financial
losses. This claim is disputed by
t h e agriculture department,
which points to reports that mar
ketings of livestock have been
at a record level for this time ot
year.
