HOW FREE MEN FIGHT,
V
Ask any German or Jap. They’ll tell you that free men are adaptable, courageous, invincible. Business ami banking under the free-enterprise sys- / tern are also unbeatable — re-
sponsive to America’s needs, alert, progresfive. Yet there are reformers who would "centralize” and "socialize” business ami banking. You have seen how free men fight.
You have seen how business' and banking, serving in the free American Vt ay, have made our<=i country great. Wliat do you think is the best American Way?

(A Rumanian communique broad-1 cast by the Nazi transocean agency said German troops had "completely I liquidated” the bridgehead and in- j flicted “bloody losses’’ on the
Soviets.) The Rod Army forces “wrought destruction" among the advancing Germans with the massed fire of artillery and mortars, the Sovivt midnight communique said. Soviet pilots supporting the ground forces shot down eigh enemy planes in combat and anti-aircraft gunners accounted foils others. The German attack was believed designated to destroy a possible Russian springboard for an attack on Chisinau, Bessarabia's largest city, and a drive south toward the Galati Gap and Bucharest.

Invasion Notes
LONDON, May 12 (UP) Reconnaissance reports indicated today that the non-stop Allied air bombardment has driven the Germans hack 30 to 50 miles from many svetors of the French invasion coast. The Germans have abandoned their front-iine airfields and the majority of their anti-aircraft guns over a | "huge area,” airmyn participating in I the all-out attacks softening western Europe for an Allied landing said. "The tactical air force squadrons from Britain now have succeeded in driving the enemy back from the positions he held so long," and RAF I Typhoon fighter-bomber pilot told newsmen. “It seems that everything that can be pulled back has gone.” The London Daily Telegraph estimated that 30 to 50 miles of desolate no man's land .stretches behind the invasion roast in which “no trains run, no people can be seen, few guns fin? and the Luftwaffe is absent." There was no suggestion, however, that the Germans have abandoned all the concrete and steel pill boxes nnd qyivr underground fortifications •vhi< h dot the coaat, although many probably have been knocked out by the rain of Allied explosives.
