BCRIAL8 DELAlKr) There is plenty of evidence of the intensity of the fight. They still fish an American boy out of the water every now and then. There is already a few of them on the beach lying on stretchers and covered with blankets.

We have not had time to bury them yet. Ixioking down the beach you can see masses and masses of junk stamped envelopes some hoy hoped to send letters home with, a dress uniform some second lieutenant hoped to wear in Paris, binoculars, single shoes, leggings, blankets, cigarets. There sre dozens of lifebelts thrown in piles on the rocks and the sand, suitcases blasted open and their shoe polish and tooth-brushes and towels scattered over the blood soaked beach. The entire beach Is pocked with shell holes, fox holes and trenches, every once In a while you see a little mound of sand with a bayonet stuck at the head and a blasted helmet hanging on the bayonet. The only way you can tell whether it is a Uerman or an American grave Is by the helmet.

Though the battle for the beach has been over more than 24 hours the beach still is not quiet. There is a steady stream of men and vehicles pouring ashore, rolling over the bloodstained sands and up the hill, past the first blackened German pillboxes toward the front. There are German prisoners on the beach, too. They are busy helping evacuate their own casualties and helping with the American casualties.

The Americans who assaulted the beachand lived said it was hell, just plain unadulterated hell. Those piles of bodies, that mass of litter and twisted wreckage and blackened landslides of rubble are proof. BLOOD DEATH We had to fight through a blanket of German high explosives even when I went ashore, 36 hours after the initial assault force landed. By that time the Germans' murderous machine gun cross fire and their mortars had been silenced. The first 24 hours on this beach, a casualty said, were a vivid nightmare of torn bodies, exploding mines, sinking barges, bursting shells of blood and filth anil death.

Whole bodies were blasted through the air by the ferocious German artillery fire, he said. Many men, hurled out of their assault boats by deadly artillery bursts, died in the water. Some reached the beach and crawled a few yards over the egg sized rocks before they were hit. I watched more than half of that inch by inch struggle up the beach from an LST lying about a mile off shore and unable to discharge its artillery cargo until gun positions had been secured.

Only 141 of the 300 rounty committee members showed up at Perkins school auditorium. The special law which permits the central corn-mlttee to pick a candidate for the vacant board post requires a majority, or 151.

Democratic leaders freely expressed concern about whether they will be able to get a majority of committeemen at a meeting before July 24, the deadline for picking a candidate.

CITTFR i'nittd Prm 8tff Wrltw WASHINGTON, June 10. Administration forces concentrated in the house today to beat back a senate-approved cotton textile price amendment to the price control extension bill which they contend would be the entering wedge to wrecking price control completely.

The senate voted the Bank-head amendment, 39 to 35, prior to passing the OPA bill late yesterday despite the protest of administration leaders that It would add $350,000,000 year to consumer cost of cotton goods. A similarly close fight was anticipated in the house on an almost identical amendment to the OPA extension bill it is considering. 'REASONABLE PROFIT' The cotton amendment In the senate-approved bill would require the OPA to base Its textile price ceilings on three factors raw cotton parity, an allowance for manufacturing and marketing costs, and "a reasonable profit." Opponents contended It would enrich textile manufacturers and guarantee them profit, but would not necessarily force the mills to pay full parity for raw cotton. The house also had before It an "oil parity" amendment similar to one the senate rejected in the Taft would bring with him a senate record of sharp criticism of the New Deal's domestic poli cies, softened by attempts to com promise with administration leaJ ers on such major issues as price control.

(Delayed) Snipers, who have been one of the deadliest obstacles facing Americans all along this central sector of the front, have concealed themselves so effectively that at least one unit of the First division resorted to the use of mine detectors to find them. The detectors were particularly effective against Germans hidden in small dugouts entered by small sod-covered trapdoors. The Germans made a practice of leaving the door shut until the Americans passed, th'en putting it up and taking a. ahot or two before popping back. The dugouts were so ingeniously built that it often was impossible to see them even when standing nearby, but the mine detectors registered metal underground.
