Troops Shove
8 Miles Inland
FromlBeac
By EDWARD KENNEDY
yuMK. Aua. IB lP) The U. S. seventh army, reconstitute
after its victorious campaign in Sicily, has smashed through
German coastal defenses and established itself firmly in southern.
France, penetrating inland as far as eight miles In some places,
allied headquarters announced tonight. . . .
Casualties in this newest invasion oi Hitlers eurepe were)
officially declared to be exceptionally light, this resulting from
"perfect coordination of all arms and services.". ...
MaJ. Uen. Alexander ra. raicn oi ouaaaicanai iame was of
ficially identified as the invasion commander. American and
French troops make up his army. The original seventh army,
built around the U. S. second army corps which fought across
Tunisia, was headed during its Sicilian campaign by Lt.- Gen;
George S. Patton Jr., who now commands the U. S. third army
in -western France. Patch succeeded. Patton as head of the seventh
army last spring.
French Commander Identified -'
' French elements of the seventh are commanded by Ma. Gen.
Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, who escaped prison at Riom after
being sentenced by a Vichy court to a 10-year term for organiz
ing -armed resistance to the nazi invasion of southern France.
- Field dispatches disclosed landings in the St. Tropez gulf
area near Ste. Maxime, midway between the previously - an
nounced operations at Cap Negre and the Drejus-St. Raphael
area. One told of a steady movement of personnel and equipment
ashore near Ste. Maxime with "only spasmodic harassing . fire
from the enemy. . '
Reinforcements Blocked. - '
. British and American airborne troops-vaulting behind - the
lines- were credited - off icially- with ". blocking enemy reinforce
ments. Great fleets of U. S. troop carriers winged supplies and
reinforcements by glider, and parachute, into the airborne bridge
head today.
uerman resistance generally continued relatively weak.
Assault forces fought on through the night after overwhelm
ing the first beach obstacles, i ' . ...
One Landing- Prevented
At one - noint. however, heavv German onnnsitinn . nrpvpnterf ,
landing craft from beaching, it was learned. . - , .'
American and French forces are still streaming ashore-on'
the beachheads between Toulon and Cannes. - - ,
The assault was facilitated throughout "by a superior air
bombardment and was supported by naval gunfire said bv" oh-.
servers to be heavier and more effective than during any-previous
operation in the Mediterranean theater," a headquarters an.-'
nouncement said. - - - - .
"' "Airborne American and British : troops, together with .-the
pre-D-Day bombing of roads, railroads and bridges, have success-'
fully blocked enemy reinforcements. The airborne units are mov
ing on predetermined objectives. . ; .
Aggressiveness commenaea
Patch was quoted as commending both French and American
troops in the seaborne operations for "the aggressiveness, dis
played by both assault and follow-up units."
Allied Headquarters said me operations were proceeding ac
cording to plan." ,-'.; .
(Both Mice and Cannes, major seaside cities at the loothlUs ..of '

ALBANY, N. Y.., Aug, 16 (P)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, assert
ing that the Dumbarton-Oaks
conference appears pointed
toward a permanent four-power
alliance, declared today that if
the allies get off on the wrong
foot of cynical power politics we
will have lost the war before
we havei won it." ' ;.: !
tin a prepared statement, the
republican- presidential nominee
enirl hfi had been "deeply dis
turbed bv reports which. Indicat
ed that at the diplomatic con
ference it is planned to suojeci
the nations of the world, great
and small,- permanently-, -to the
coercive power oi tne tour na
tions holding this conference.".
, Meets Next Week - :
Representatives of -the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and
China will meet in Washington
next week to begin preliminary
conversations toward the or
ganization of a world security
sroun. -., t , - - -
.Df-wev. 'whnsfe- statement was
read to and approved by other
f republican leaders, said if the
fnnr nations attemptea to iorin a
permanent alliance which would
control the world "that-Would be
the rankest form of imperial
ism." -. -
Selection Forecast
Asserting that such a proposal
would be rejected by the Amer
ican people, Dewey said that "as
Americans we believe with all
our hearts -in- the equality, and
the rights of small nations and
minorities." - , . .
''In the kind of permanent
world organization we seek," he
said, "all nations, great "and
small, must be assured or ineir
full rights. For such an organi
zation, military force must -be
the servant, not the master. .
"It would be a tragedy If the
coming conference among the
British. Russians. Chinese and
ourselves should be distracted
from the task of planning for a
genuine world organization for
neace bv .proposals - which
amount merely to a permanent
four-power military alliance
control the world.'5
