The Munich area now has re

Berlin said also a fleet was
striking from Italy, as on the
last two days.

that traffic to the Normandy
front must be worked laborious

The allied "cavalry of the

northwest of St. Lo.
They also retook the village
of Le Desert, which had been

back sharp German counter
attacks.
Squeese Mounted
A similar squeeze was being
mounted against Lessay, 21 miles
northwest of St. Lo, where the
Americans were pushing for

- Pinch Salient
Eastward across the Perlers-

Contrasts Noted
Rome today is a city of con
trasts an extremely dreary
place in some regards; in other
respects gayer than in many
years. Dancing, which the fas
cists banned for the duration of
the war, has started again in
some hotels and clubs. It is more
of a playground for off-duty of

in the Mediterranean theater
