The 100th battalion, composed
of American troops of Japanese

fighting on relatively flat ground
three miles west of Pomaja and
was reported making some prog
ress. Garrison Threatened
The German garrison at Po
maja thus was threatened on two
sides, and the nazi force at La
jatico was in much the same po
sition. There were growing indica
tions that it likely would be a
matter of many days before the
allies batter their way even to
contact with the main Gothic
line defenses.
The most impressive gains re
ported for yesterday's operations
were the eighth army's penetra-;
Uon to the villages of Castel Dt
Broglio and San Regelo, nine
miles northeast of Siena; a thrust
by other eighth army units five
miles beyond Carpini in the up
per Tiber valley: and the steady
smash of the Americans to a
point-six -miles north of Vol

None of these gains, however,
made a substantial alteration in
the tactical situation.
Poles in the Adriatic sector
occupied Monte Folesco and Vil-
lanova,. some 14 miles inland and
12 to 14 miles southwest of An

was substantially unchanged.
. Typical of the fighting in the
jrrencn sector norm and nortn
west of Siena was a bloody
-struggle for Hill 380, half a mile
northeast of Ranza. and 17 miles
west northwest of Siena. The
Germans used many tanks in
savage counterattacks and the
hill changed hands several times

With that statement the Drul-
dent was referring to his war
time role of commander-in-chief
of tne armed forces.
For myself, I do not want to
run," Mr. Roosevelt said. "By
next spring I shall have been
president and commander-in-chief
of the armed forces for 13
years three times elected by the
people of this country under the
American constitutional system.
"From the personal point of
view, I believe that our economic
system is one of a sounder, more
human basis than it was at the

How Mr. Roosevelt might
make known his views was not
indicated. The same political
sources said that a public ex
pression for Wallace did not
mean the president would at
tempt to dictate a choice to the

In heavy fighting. German re
sistance was stiffening in the
Caen sector.
Troops of Lt.-Gen. Omar N.
Bradley's first nrmy driving on
St. Lo reached the outsklrtu of
Luzerne and Mesnil-Rozclln,
just north ot tho city.
Coordinated Attacks
The attack was coordinated
from the north and northwest
of St. Lo. Fall of that city of
15.000 would force a Gorman
withdrawal from the remainder
of the Cherbourg peninsula,
and nazi lines were under
steady, heavy pressure along a
front curving 40 miles to the
sea.
The attack opened after hun
dreds of field guns bellowed
steadily for hours, wrecking
German hedgehog positions and
numbing the nerves of even
some of the most fanatical
nazis holding tho lino.
Doughboys Advance
Other doughboys advanced
one to two miles elsewhere on
the front winding across Cher
bourg peninsula, making flank
penetrations threatening to
force a German withdrawal
southward along the peninsula's
west coast.
The German radio asserted
that German troops had pene
trated La Haye du Puits, strate

American first army Sunday,
54.000 Prisoners
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Mont
gomery, allied ground comman
der in France, declared 54,000
Erisoners have been taken since
i-Day, and told his American-British-Canadian
forces that
much has been achieved with
definite and concrete gains.
"We are firm and secure," he
asserted.
Bad weather and strengthen
ing German resistance slowed
the British second army assault
in the Caen sector, and heavy
fighting flamed south of the
Odon and Orne rivers. The Ger
mans forced the British to with
draw to the north of Maltot, a
town four miles southwest of
Caen.
Costly Price
A costly price still was be
ing exacted of the enemy, and
a British headquarters officer
estimated 30 to 35 nazi tanks
had been knocked out on the
front southwest of Caen.
The German position west of
the Orne appeared hopeless in
the long run, but the fanatical
nazi opposition against the
drive of both the British and
the Canadians was forcing the
fighting line back temporarily
in some spots and limiting
firogress to a few hundred yards
n others.
Part of the loss of power of
Montgomery's punch was caused
by bad weather, which made it
impossible for the allied air
force to put in strong, close
support.
