German re sistance was weak and Rains from Le Mans ranged from 40 to 80 miles. Paris itself was virtually out flanked to the south by the fall of Orleans which gave Patton a - fighting foothold inside the Seine-Loire rivers gap. Bridges Down His sweep past Dreux threat ened to box off the fleeing rem nants of the German seventh svrmy against the Seine, whose bridges west of Parts have been destroyed by bombs. At least one column vaulted the Eure river barely 20 miles from the Seine in a swift threat to box in the fleeing German seventh army against that river. Patton's lightning thrusts also carried hard against the inland flank of the German 15th army holding the Pas de Calais coast above Normandy. Front dispatches said Patton was meeting only negligible re sistance. One column speared forward across the Eure river, presuma bly near Dreux where it curves two miles east of that road cen ter, and then pounded on to ward Paris. (The German radio reported the food situation in the capi tal was acute with the whole 2,829,000 population being fed by community kitchens. A po lice strike was said to have broken out. The German mili tary command was reported in the Berlin broadcast to be issu ing repeated appeals for the population to remain calm). Nazis Condemn Former Consul STOCKHOLM, Aug. 17 (flV Otto Kiet, former German con sul general in New York, has been condemned to death for defeatism by a nazi court, a re liable informant from Germany said today. "He is just one of the very many Germans being executed these days," the informant add ed. Kiet, who retired from his post in 1933, lived in the Unit ed States until the outbreak of the war with Germany. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) battle the Germans were rush ing in a convoy of 50 trucks TOWING FIELD GUNS which could have taken a lot of Amer ican lives If turned loose on our landing forces. The convoy was hit by our alert planes, and 42 oi me lowing iructcs were leu in flames and the other 8 dam aged and stopped. That's teamwork! fUR new Riviera beach head v is only 350 miles from Orleans, on the Loire, taken by Patton yesterday. 350 miles isn't much when blitz war GETS LOOSE. The dispatches have told us already that in 12 hours one of Patton's columns made 100 MILES and another made 96 miles in 24 hours. At that rate, it wouldn't take long to close a 3 50-mile gap. THERE nothing especially A new from Russia. It is fair ly obvious by this time that the reds are taking it slow while their transport catches up with them incubating an other blow that will probably be fully as swift and terrifying when it falls as was the last one. The present delay is no sign of Russian weakness. In their mighty drive that began on June 23, they went farther and faster than any army of like size ever went before. How their communications kept up with them so long is still one of the mysteries. TN the Pacific, we're in a lull much like that in Russia, and for exactly the same reason. We're building new bases, getting new facilities for fleet operation close to the JaDs, as sembling vast stores of war within striking range of our next objectives. There will be headlines aplenty from the Pacific when we get all set to make them. Classifier) Ada Bring Results mm 1 1 mP 7 7 A j'T , .. f v Hi- ' !

Withdraws .1 vfesv--1 ;"-'v Lynn Roycroft, local insur ance man. announced today he is withdrawing his candidacy for mayor, which had been dis closed only yesterday. Roycroft Leaves Race For Mayor (Continued from Page One) velopments in the situation were reported today. Meanwhile, Joe Balthazor, proprietor of Joe's grocery at 24 Mam street, took out petitions as a candidate for councilman from ward No. 1. This is. the ward now represented by Andrew H. Bussman. who has moved from the ward and therefore will not be a candidate for reelection. The decision of Roycroft, well-known local insurance man, came as a surprise development. His letter to the paper follows: "Serious consideration of the time required, of my position as an employe, and of my primary Interests, prompt me to with draw my candidacy before any semblance of a 'race is formulat ed. . "So far, only petitions have been taken which, have not yet Deen cumulated. "Before any are circulated, or any commitments are made or any organizations effected, I deem it to my best interests to terminate any further interest in the mayoralty race.. "The things of greatest inter est to me can best be served as they have in the past, from the standpoint of a private citizen. "I wish to personally thank my many friends and well wish ers who have evinced enthusi asm for my candidacy, but, I feel I can serve them best by continu ing in my present capacity.

His subject will be, "Development of the Modoc Unit of the Tulelake Divi sion of the Klamath Reclamation Project." Dick Henzel will act as chair man of the day for Rotary. that naturally strong base for a desperate stand. The allies already have a front deep enough to establish airfields. "The swift advance of Amer ican and French troops inland continues and numerous addi tional villages and towns have boon taken," Patch announced. Elomonti Jolntd "All elements of the beach head forces have been Joined to form a continuous front arch ing inland with anchor points over 50 airline miles apart. The beachhead itself now embraces some 500 square miles. "Junction with strong air borne units dropped far behind the enemy lines before dawn on D-Dny has been effected. "French and American rein forcements, including armor, aro pouring ashore, disunities continue exceptionally light." The junction of assault In fantry which landed from the sea and the huge airborno force indicated that the allies had reached inland communication arteries which the parachute trooos had been assigned to block, and that theje hence forth would be available for the swift funneling of men and sup plies into the rugged Alps of Provence in the drive north ward. Linked With French American infantry previously linked up with French Com mandos who had landed on the flanks of the main invading force to block side avenues to the beachheads. It thus was evident that the allies within 48 hours after their landing had achieved an astonishing success in seizing the primary requisites for a larae scale operation. With tanks and mighty M-10 tank destroyers ashore it was also evident that Patch was in a position to weather the great est danger ahead the period in the first 72 hours when the enemy might mass armored re serves to make a counterattack. But so far there was little evidence to show that the Ger mans were- massing for such counterattacks.

May See Truman Asked if he will meet with Senator Harry Truman of Mis souri, the president said he will see his vice presidential run ning mate if the latter is In Washington. The two have had no opportunity to talk things over since the democratic con vention put them together on the fourth term ticket.

Not Political Trip Tanned by the sun and sea air, he appeared in Jovial spirits despite the five weeks of travel and the dismal weather he en countered In the far north. He joked with the four newsmen who accompanied him for most of the trip and laughed at state ments that some sources rcud political implications Into Ills journey. .there were no political things in it. ho said, adding that those who think they found politics in the trio know more about it than he does. Spun Speculation The president's return to Washington spurred immediate speculation over the possibility of another meeting soon with Prime Minister Churchill of Greet Britain. It has been their custom sinco the war began to meet about once every six months and the last time thoy wero togulhor was in Decem ber. With the fighting In France rolling at its present pare. It seems logical to thoso close to the government that the two allied leaders will meet again in the not-tiio.disUutt future to plan a new major war move.
