Barkley of Kentucky. Barkley delivered it to the senate military atfams committee. This committe has been inclined toward milder legislation or no bill ' at all. It has been noticeatbly cool ■ toward the strict May bill passed j ( by the houfie. The president? m-<?«:-ige was released by Sen, Elbert 1). Thomas, j I).. Utah, chairman Os the military afafirs committee. The committee m-anwhile met in executive session t 0 begin its fourth week ot work on manpower legislation. j The president's message said: “I hope that legislation embracing th principle of the May bill can he speedily enacted, it will assure'the armed services they can rely on the flow of necessary supplies and greatly contribute t 4) the success of our arms.’ 1 Mr. ooseveh’s plea followed due by Sen :ary of AV-ar Henry L.

Radio 'tok.vo said a second American assault group stormed ashore at an tinspecified point on the rocky east coast north of the 2’»-miie long original beachhead tinder cover of darkness last - night. The troops went ashore at a point where the cliffs were 30 to 45 feet high and very bad for landing operations, Tokyo said.

CANADIAN FIRST (Continuvd Fruui Page One) American ninth armies massed along the Roer to the north. On the Canadian first army front, the Germans appeared to I have written off their OUe-time ' pivot at Coch after 24 hours of savage, hand-to-hand fighting for the network ot' cellar pillboxes masked by the town’s homes and shops: Tough Scottish infantrymen, backed up by flawie-thro'Jvihg ♦anks and field guns, rooted out cirtually all the Kazi garrison at bayonet point, capturing the German commander and two members of Ins' staff. Early today. Germah artillery and mortars began pounding Goch from the south and the only organized resistance inside the town centered around a small pocket in the southeastern outskirts. A smaller band of diehard enemy troops was holed up in a few ruined buildings in tire northern end of town but they were being cleared ont rapidly. Lath dispatches said the Scots were pushing out south, east and west of Goch into the last 25 miles of the Rhine-Maas funnel covering the Ruhr. Their next major objective was Gelder. 12 miles to the south, toward which the Germans were retreating. German covering forces still were holding up the western flank of the Canadian first army drive along the Maas below Afferden, seven miles to the southwest, and in the Hassum area, four miles southwest of Goch. o Commercial Vehicles Must Have Inspection -— i -Failure of comniei-’cial motor vejhicle operators to comply with :egui latiou-s ' requiring periodic tire in- ! spectioite will adversely affect the , claims of these operators for new | tires, th- office of defense | tation announced today. The OUT warned tru-k, bus and : taxicab operator that general ori der ODT 21A requires all commcri cial motor vehicle operators to have 'their tires checked after each 5.00'2 miles of operation, or after every six months of operation if operated ’ less than 5,000 miles. OPA action lifting this requirement for passenger car tire.s in no way affects compliance of commercial motor vehicle operator? with ODT tire inspection requirements, it was pointed out.
