EX-MOTORMAN 1S SAIPAN HERO
Sgt. Thompson in First Patrol to Reach Vital Summit.
The first reconnaissance patrol to reach the summit of Mt. Tapotchau, Saipan, June 26, helping to give the Yanks an observation post for the entire island, included Platoon Sgt. Robert Thompson, 35, brother of Mrs. O. T. Harris, 5500 Allisonville rd, and William Thompson, R. R. 2, Box 12. He is a former Indianapolis resident. A United Press story released today said that Thompson and members of his patrol fought their way
and held the position against a counter-attack. “It was tough going,” said 1st Lt. M. M. Drake, 27, of Hotchkiss, Colo., one of the marine officers who led the attack. “There was underbrush, Cliffs, caves and rocks where the Japs could hide and fight. But we reached the top and started over.. Then we saw Japs coming up for the other side from the direction of Carapan town. “We killed 15 or 20 of them—
off. Then we dug in. We spent the rest of the aftérnoon and evening picking off Jap snipers.” Killed Number of Japs
The story credited Thompson with |
killing a number of Jap soldiers during the occupation of Mt. Tapotchau. Sgt. Thompson served from 1028 to 1932 with mounted troops in Nicaragus,. and rejoined the marine corps in 1942. He was sent to New Zealand in September, 1942, and served at Tarawa before going to Saipan. He was a member of the scouting party which preceded the invasion troops onto Tarawa. A native of Morristown, he moved to Indianapolis in 1910 and was employed az a motorman on the Indianapolis street rallways from 1033 until he re-entered the serv fee. He is 35 and attended Techni-

Balkans Also Included ‘in Withdrawal Plans,
By J. EDWARD MURRAY United” Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, July 13—A Madrid dispatch said today that Germany's supreme war council, hurriedly convoked by Adolf Hitler, has decided to withdraw forces from certain occupied countries—believedly Norway and the Balkans—to bolster its battered armies against mounting allied threats from the East, West and South. German broadcasts quoted the

The big blades are 8 feet long and 15 inches across at the widest point and provide take-off thrust and efficiency at high altitude needed for large planes.

Patton would lead the “British Southeast army” in a new landing in western Europe. Reports to Spain from Paris said Vichy Chief of Government Pierre Laval already has begun sounding out German and neutral diplomats over the possibility of declaring Paris an open city. Reports that Hitler had convoked Germany's supreme war council were attributed by Madrid to .reliable advices reaching diplomatic circles in Vichy.
Steady Reserves Drain
The ‘steady drain on Germany's strategic reserves by the developing battles in Russia, Italy and France were said to have forced the decision to withdraw troops from cer- . {tain occupied countries. It also was decided, Madrid said. | to remove Hitler's personal headquarters immediately from East Prussia to Frankfurt-on-Oder, only 50 miles east of Berlin. Madrid heard that a portion of the German general staff recommended the withdrawal of Nazi forces from Finland by way of Norway if and when the Konigsberg-Riga-Tallinn railway were cut. Stockholm dispatches said press reports from Berlin were printing a surprisingly frank picture of the worsening situation on the eastern front,
