tne eighth day of the bitter siege,
American troops met fire from
machine-guns placed in build

hard defenders left behind in
the retreat," Associated Press
Correspondent Don Whitehead
said.
GI's Pull Back
The breakthrough followed
fierce German night counter
attacks that had forced the
doughboys to pull back to posi
tions just outside the eastern
suburb of Ste. Croix.
Ste." Croix was captured in
the new advance upon St. Lo,
supreme headquarters announced
tonight.
Other counterblows that forced
the earlier American pull-back
were the dying gasps of the Ger
mans, Whitehead said, and even
as they were made, the nazi de
fenders were being pulled back.
Some units were cut off and did
not know of the order to with
draw. Open Assault
One American column opened
an assault at 8 a.- m. today from
northeast of the town, and met
scarcely any opposition before

50 miles northeast.
Fierce fighting flared all along
the Tarnopol-Luck-Kowel front,
Berlin said. German broadcasts
began reporting Russian thrusts
in that area four days ago. Mos
cow has remained silent.
The soviet communique today,
however, reported that a red
army spearhead, striking west
toward Warsaw in gains up to
40 miles, had overrun the cross
roads town of Vydomlya, 16
miles north of Brest Litovsk.
A German broadcast also re
ported fierce fighting on the Fin
nish front with the Russians at
tacking Finnish positions at
Vuosalmi, northeast of ., Lake
Doga and in the Pitkaeranta sec
tor, the radio report declaring
more than 2000 Russians had
been killed. - -
(A DNB broadcast dispatch re
ported by the federal commun
ications commission said about
100 soviet aircraft raided the
nazi-held town and harbor of
Kirkenes, about 100 miles west
of Murmansk).

Targets Unspecified
The location of the targets
was not specified but other re
ports recently have focused at
tention on Port Apra. American
warships, based at that fire
harbor on Guam's west coast,
would be almost as close to
Japan and the Philippines as
was tne fleet at nwajaiein in
the Marshals when Saipan was
invaded. Guam is 1565 air miles
south of Tokyo, 1595 miles east
of Manila.
Guam's gun emplacements
were "heavily shelled" by tne
warships, Nimitz said. The car
rier planes also included oft-hit
Rota, between Saipan and
Guam, in Sunday s raid.
Merchant Marine Cut
Other air blows, announced
today from the southwest Pa
cific by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, cut deeper into Japan's
depleted merchant marine.
A 1300-ton frelgnter-trans-
port, jammed with Jap soldiers
and supplies, exploded and
sank in 10 minutes off Halma-
hera. south of the Philippines,
after Mitchells bombed it. A
7000-ton ship was damaged.
Near Flores island, just south
of Celebes, Australian Beau-
fighters set fire to two 4000
ton Japanese ships.
Yap in the western Carolines
was further neutralized by Mac
Arthur bombers which de
stroyed half of a force of 16 in
terceptors at a cost of two Lib
erators. Department Plans -
To Burn Grass
As soon as the grass is dry,
the Klamath Falls fire depart
ment plans to start burning in
vacant lots, according to Fire
Chief Keith Ambrose.
Klamath people are asked to
cut grass away from outbuild
ings and fences so that the fire
damage to them will be elimin
ated when, the grass is burned.
The fire department will also
issue permits to anyone wanting
to burn grass if-they will call
the department and apply for a
permit. ,
