TERS. London, June 3 (UP) The American 1st army, in its first major attack since the liberation of Cherbourg, struck out along the west side of the Cotentin Peninsula toward the heart or Normandy in drenching rain at dawn today. A front dispatch from Edward Gilling of the hlxchange Telegr Agency said AerntjcSns went . to the attai.'i< under cover of heavy artillery bonibardment at I

light.

The weather was the most miserable possibl'?, he said. Rain had been ,ailing since late yesterday and fountains of mud were chursed up by the advancing American vehicles. Disclosure of the attack followed by only a few hours an Allied Headquarters’ announcement that Lt. Gen Omar N. Bradley’s 1st army was re-grouping for a major assault and had captured at least five towns yesterday in line straightening operations between Tilly-Sur-Seulles and the west coast in preparation for the ittack. The attack may be the first blow n the expected full-scale Allied of’enaive designed to knock out the German stronghold of Caen and smash toward Paris, 150 miles to the ast. Lt. Gen. Sir Miles Christopher Dempsey's 2nd British army also was wised for an offensive after wtvekng at least 65 German tanks in repulsing 48 hours of futile German wunter-attacks on the British wedge southwest of Caen. The Nazi Paris Radio, hinting that the British attack already may have begun, said a, violent tank and artillery battle was raging between Caen and Villers-Bocage, 13 miles to the southwest, with Allied battleships offering supporting fire in the Canadian sector from the Orno river estuary.

T/Sgt. Reese E. Phillips, Army Air Corps, who recently returned from England, left Monday for Miami Beach, Fla., after spending a 1 three weeks furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Phillips. Sgt. Phillips will be in Florida for a two weeks rest period and will then be re-a«signed.
