invasion could be considered "making xailsfactury progress.” But as Allied beachheads expand, ed, Nazi resistance stiffened. The weight of armor engaged by both sides was increasing, and the fighting was severe. All enemy thrusts along the battle arc from the neighborhood of Caen to above St. Mere Eglise were held, and ground was gained afterward. (That statement from headquarters suggested the possl. bility. without clarification, that American and BritLh beachheads had been joined to form a contln. uous front.) A late report said the Amerl. cans were at St. Formlgny, eight miles west.northwest of Bayeux. Wednesday evening and presum. ably they had advanced since then The capture of Bayeux by Hritlab farces was announced yesterday. At the same time It was an. nounced that new ganu had been scored in the advance from Ba. yeux. The Canadian third division was repealed to be taking part In the Allied advance. Canadian officer* and men were engaged in the Initial parachute landing*. A front dispatch said the orlg. Inal British and Canadian land. Ings were made In the region of Berneres Sur Mer, 11 miles north of Caen and 10 miles west of the Orne estuary. Bernieres was cap. tured. along with a number of other places. Front reports said Canadian tanks had been in several small engagements as they advanced from the beaches, where they fuught fiercely at ILHour. and yesterday Canadian and German tanks fought a savage battle on the perimeter of the beachhead. Infantry rode on the tanks, and the advancing Canadian squad, rons came suddenly upon a Ger. man armored force. Both sides opened fire and the troops took up positions In the fields. After a hot exchange of gunfire, tile enemy withdrew, the reports said. The German DNB news agency said a new phase of the invasion can be expected within the next tew days, possibly in the Dunker. que.Ostend region of the Belgian. French coast It said Hen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery had 2« diviaions In southeast England and others to the north which were “likely to be used In strong combined operations In the chan, nel area." Allied officers described * the troops a* "of good heart, and fighting magnificently." x Large amounts of heavy equip, ment now were whore, and the Invaders wore regarded ss in good position to repel the heavier Ger. man attacks which must be ex. pected and to exploit their gains steadily in the face of any oppo. sitlon which can be anticipated at present. Bad weather reduced the massive scale of aerial invasion operation* to ilighta by Isolated task forces after British night bombers hit five big transport centers behind the German front in Normandy. American cruisers and destroyer* continued to support the American advance on the Cherbourg peninsula rzlth na«ai bombardments. An official announcement revealed that American naval tack force commanders under Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk included Rear Admiral John Leslie Hall, who participated In the North African. Sicilian and Italian campaigns; Rear Admiral Don Pardee Moon, gunnery expert who engaged tn the North African opertatona, and Cmdr. Campbell D.

Edgar. The German DNB agency said Nazi torpedo boats sank a 6.000t<Mi American cruiserand a destroyer off the east coast of the CheriMuug penlueula Wednesday night.
