In the Lessay region, Infantry

which stretches inland almost to
Lesiay and forms a bottleneck
between the sea marshlands.
Lessay itself was under artil

but 2UUU yaras irom uie hjwu.
On the eastern sector of the
Normandv battleground 1 there
was-: little activity, but it was
revealed the British had lost St.

Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley's
American forces pushed three
miles down the west coast of the
Cherbourg peninsula to St. Ger-manSur-Ay,
three miles north
west of Lessay. A few miles in
land, along the highway from La
Haye Du Puits to Lessay, ad
vanced units approached the vil
lage of Beauvais, a mile and a
half: from Lessay.
Villages Engulfed
' Below Carentan and St. Jean
de 'Daye, the American line
bulged sharply' southward, en
gulfing the villages of Tribehou,
Goiirnay and Le Hommet d'Ar
thenay. Pushing through the
wooded section known as the
Bois de Hommet, the Americans
were approaching Les Champs
d'Losque.

into; St. Lo now are under American-control.

Barre de Semilly, two miles east

a mile and a half from the town
ori'the north. - ...
Despite the widespread American-
pressure along the whole

. that a breakthrough had been
achieved anywhere. Progress was
beuic made in costly short mish-
esgagainst strong - German rear

Dun? of the forces withdrew.
By a paradox of terrain, the
more the Germans withdraw in
the;Cherbourg peninsula the easi
er their task of defense becomes,
- because each mile they go back
they shorten the front which
now extends about 100 miles.

Four Hungarian Oil Fields
Blasted by Heavy Bombers
Br GLADWIN HILL ,
LONDON. July 14 (IP) Up to
500 escorted American heavy
bombers attacked Budapest rail
way yards from four oil refin
eries in Hungary today in con
tinued, determined effort to de
stroy German fuel supplies and
communications.
Foul weather hampered opera
tions in suDDort of the battle in
Normandy, although some flights
cut through clouds and squalls
and bombed railroad yards at
Beauvais and Montdider, far east
of the battle fields.. ,-
Three of the Hungarian refin
eries were on the outskirts of
Budapest and these were the
meat for Frying Fortresses based
on the more-sunny fields of Italy.
They were the , Fanto-, Shell

annual capacity oi oao,uuu ions.
Liberators sought out the Pet
furdo oil works five miles south
of the Hungarian capital and also
bombed the Ferencuaros railway
yards in the city.

IN BATTLE
(Continued From Page One)
said the attackers were checked
after severe fighting, and frag
mentary battlef ront reports made
no mention of a breakthrough.
Casualties Heavy
Casualties undoubtedly were
heavy among the defenders, in
cluding veteran Americans in
frontline positions, as well as
among the Japanese.
A large-scale battle appeared
to be building. General Hatazo
Adachl, commander of the 18th
army, apparently had well-laid
plans for the breakthrough at
tempt. The headquarters spokes
man said it was too early to .de
termine whether the major blow
would come now, but it was
Ukeiy.
Calmer Attacks
. The Japanese assault was not
a frantic, banzal-shrieklng sui
cide drive. The attackers em
ployed all their jungle guile and
aeiermination. .
Skirmishes began Monday,
continued through the next day
and led to Wednesday's savage
fighting.
The Japanese attackers are
survivors of an originally esti
mated 60,000 men isolated on a
130-mile coastal stretch between
Aitape and Australian positions
70 miles west of Wewak. Their
current drive to escape jungle
rigors evidently is designed to
reach the northwest coast or to
join other surrounded Japanese
pickets in tne lau-mne stretcn
between Aitape and Hoiianaia
