Reserve Officers Training Corps. Students from 14 colleges had been drifting inconspicuously into town since yesterday, simulating Nazi “touris ‘who moved in ahead of armed forces in several German conquests. They were part of the 1200 cadets at Clemson College encampment.
Clemson served an ultimatum Monday, demanding that Anderson cease “border activities” on: Six-and-Thirty Creek and withdraw “troops” from Sandy Springs. Anderson did hot reply. At the zero hour—7:30 p. m.— the “fifth columnists” will strike, to prepare for the entrance of 800 motorized cadets. - The “Fifth Columnists” will seize key Government offices, the newspaper, radio station, water works, power plant and transportation services. Citizens will be told by prociamation over the radio and in a special edition of the newspaper that they have been ‘“conquered,” and that automobiles will be requisitioned, curfew will be effective, civilians will require ration cards and residents ‘must give strategic materials—gasoline, oil, cotton, etc.—to the invaders. Handbills warning against resistance will be dropped from airplanes. Public officials, police and civic leaders will be herded into a mock concentration camp. The manéuver will end with completion of the coup. Then, to show it was all in fun, the “Fifth Columnists” will be entertained at a dance.

probably be. suspended from his
rank and possibly spend time in the guard house. . “We have every reason to suspect Sergt. McCarthy of double-dealing

R. A. F. STAGES 1-2 HOUR RAID
Invasion Coast Blasted Till . After Dawn; Rhine Bombed.
LONDON, July 11 (U. P). —-A great fleet of British bombing planes blasted Invasion Coast ports for more than 7% hours during the night in one of the greatest raids of the war, while heavy planes of the bomber command rained bombs over a wide area of the German industrial Rhineland. Increasingly severe bombing of German industrial centers was reported here to have resulted in evacuation of large numbers of women and children from Cologne, Duesseldorf, Muenster and other war factory centers. German heavy industries in the
-{important Cologne area, targets in
the Rhineland generally, and docks at Ostend, Calais and Boulogne were attacked last night. Two British planes were missing. + British planes swept over the Dover Strait at midnight, in bright moonlight over a Channel haze, to blast the Invasion Coast, centering on ‘the 20-mile stretch: between Boulogne and Calais. The bombing continued until after 7:30 a. m. (12:30 a.- m. Indianapolis Time). There was an almost continuous roar of explosions, and bombs of especially powerful type seemed to explode far inland. Watchers on the. Dover coast saw great fires|n blazing, and a thunderous gunfire|® indicated that the Germans had put every weapon they could bring to bear into action. The gunfire was like rolling thunder for hours. People were rocked as they lay in bed, unable to sleep.

/air and ground forces, tanks, artiljery and infantry. : : -| A German tank force advanced on
order, eight powerful anti-aircraft batteries, 30 motor vehicles, 54 mo-
many machine guns|
and automatic rifles were captured.
’ This battle was won, it was ‘made,
plain, by perfect co-ordination ‘of
the Russian right flank, it was said, and was forced to retreat under a deadly bombardment by the Russian artillery, leaving up to 70 disabled tanks on the field. The Germans retorted. with a bombardment of their own, the communique said, and then attacked again. The Russian artillery opened up again and this time Russian planes swept over the German lines, bombing and machine gunning. The Germans, kept on, the communique said, despite the loss of several dozen tanks, and this time managed to break through the flank and force the Russians back. A German infantry division was rushed into the
gap. " : Russian tanks clanked up and Russian motorized infantry followed, it was asserted, with the result that the Germans were surrounded: before they had time to deploy to good defense positions. “After fighting in which our air force participated the . German division was crushed,” the "communique said. The cémmunique asserted that in operations yesterday the Russ: air force had inflicted heavy destruction on German motorized and mechanized units in the Ostrov White Russian area and the Vovograd Volynsk Ukrainian area, had destroyed German troops on pontoon bridges across the upper Dvina River and had attacked German airdromes.’ It was asserted that Russian planes destroyed 28 German airplanes during the day. Loss of six Russian planes was noted.
