Defense Line in~ Tank Advance. (Continued From Page One) drive aimed at the key road hub of Vire !

‘in an effort to block the advance down the main road to the See river. It appeared that the armored column which drove into Avranches was the only American force so far to reach the river. Substantial pockets of resistance remained considerably north of Villedieu, and two miles above the town the Germans were defending a road block. 6 Divisions Decimated

The American drive had decimated the 77th, 91st, 352d, 243d, and 353d German infantry divisions and the 5th paratroop division.

WITH U. 8. 2d ARMORED DIVISION, France, July 31 (U.P.)— A German general commander of either the 17th SS Elite guard division or the 243d infantry was reported today to have been killed by allied bombing planes while attempting to rally his troops for a stand against the onrushing Americans in western Normandy.

More than 10,000 prisoners already have been taken in the first six days of the offensive, which has carried 44 miles through the enemy lines, and -the total was mounting

and mobile ' infantry were advancing so rapidly their only communication with headquarters was by radio, The Germans were not even pausing to ‘plant mines to cover their retreat, and town after town was captured intact. Swarms of American bombers, fighter-bombers and fighters further harassed the enemy retreat, blasting, strafing and shelling rear roads clogged with fleeing German columns. A dispatch from an advanced command post disclosed that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had expressed extreme gratification over the results of the fighting in Normandy during the past week and was viewing the immediate future of the campaign with high optimism. American divisions participating in the offensive down the ‘western half of the Norman peninsula were disclosed to be the battle-tested 1st, 4th, 8th and 30th infantry divisions and the 2d and 3d armored divisions, comprising the 19th U. 8. army corps.

SOUTHERN INDIANA

DROUGHT WORSE

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 31 (U. P.) —Agricultural authorities in Indiana's “pocket” district agreed today that farmers in the tri-state area of Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana were confronted with a serious situation unless rain within the next few days broke the worst drought since 1936. There were estimates that the corn crop would be reduced from 50 to 75 per cent in some sections; that the soybean harvest might be cut in half, and that the potato crop would be so small that many : farmers might be forced to purchase them for their own use. In addition, the drought not only affected the cattle merket this year, but 1945 prospects as well. Agricultural leaders reported that many farmers in the area were forced to. use winter feed as pasturage was left dry and brown in the scorching weather. Others resorted to sale of breeding stock because of lack of feed. - The Warrick county agricultural agent reported that the corn crop loss in that county might be as high as 75 per cent in some sections. The Posey county agent said that the. potato harvest would be cut from 50 to 75 per cent and Gibson county's usual large melon crop was reported substantially reduced. An estimafed 30 per cent downward turn in tobacco ‘was reported from two neighboring Kentucky counties which normally market in Evansville,
