The Nazis presumably have for-

but whether they have been forced
to reduce their garrisons to meet
the Allied threat from Normandy
and Brittany is speculative.

Spain, on Aug. 9 said the Germans
had withdrawn troops from the sec-

on Spain but the few troops had
been moved from the actual coast.)

lied Expeditionary Force, Aug. 15—
(*>>—France stood today on the eve
of complete freedom from the harsh
grip of Hitler a* the Allies launched
a new blow from the Mediterranean
to wrench German army fingers
loose from territory it ha* held
since 1040.
That freedom of France is a mat-
ter of no more than week* 1* the
only conclusion to be gained from
a tour of the battle front in Nor-
mandy and Brittany where the Ger-
man 7th Army now faces destruc-
tion.
Early reports indicated that the
invasion of Southern France was
meeting only slight opposition.
That was expected, because Marshal
Von Kluge has been steadily draw-
ing divisions from the Mediterran-
ean area of Prance in an effort to
stop the offensive in the west which
is tearing him to bits.
It is estimated that the Germans
now have fewer than five full div-
isions reedy to deal with any invas-
slon from the south.

Americans had in racing over Brit-

Rules which will permit business
and labor to swing into civilian pro-
duction when war contracts are cur-
tailed were ordered into efiect by
the War Production Board today.
The action by Chairman Donald
M. Nelson wil permit individual
manufacturers—if tliey have work-
er* and machinery no*, needed for
war—to produce several hundred
consumer* items whose production
has been prohibited since the start
of the war end before.
The list, announced last night, In-
clude* a host of office and liouse-
hold articles, but Nelson noted that
the continuing stern limitations on
manpower and materials will pre-
vent any large increase in civilian
goods “for th* time being."
The action was the fourth and
final order in the program announc-
ed by Neiecu in mid-Jun*. opposi-
tion immediately flared up in the
Amy, Navy and War Manpower
Commission, leading to a major
controversy over whether the civil-
lan-goods plan would divert labor
from war production.
The dispute ended with agree-
ment that the orders would issue in
staggered sequence, the climactic
fourth Order being deferred until
now.

Immediate action by state govern-

tein. "in both the duration and level
of benefits,’ was recouunended to-
day by tike House postwar commit-
tee.
Asserting this is necessary “in

collapse of Nazi Germany,” the com-
mittee, headed by Rep. Colmer (D-
Misk), submitted legislation to
create an Office of War Mobilization

Without mentioning the current
congressional controversy over fed-

tion versus state controlled systems,
the committee said a study had in-
dicated “tliat if adequate protec-
I tiou is to be provided there should
be h’.crcases, in the duration of
