FIGHTING IV PARIS While one radio correspondent at General Eisenhower's headquarters Friday said the liberation of Paris by French and American forces now "Is a fact," there still was no official confirmation from General Elsenhower's headquarters which frequently for purposes of security has lagged behind developments. That same source reported the destruction of 16 German divisions remaining west of the Seine gained speed Friday, with British, Canadian and American armies Joining In a fresh attack. New York reputedly heard direct broadcast from the Paris radio that American, British and French troops had liberated the city, but some German snipers still were in Paris and have to be cleaned out. ISOLATED FIGHTING What seemed to be more accurate Is that to all Intents the Germans again have been thrown out of Paris, but, In some sections of the city, fighting was in progress, and, insofar as possible, these Inconsequential nazi remnants were putting up a battle while applying the torch wherever possible.

Earlier, allied headquarters officially had announced that two columns of the French Second armored division, under command of Gen.

Gucnthcr Von Kluge was reported swinging his beaten German armies back to the line of the Somme and the Marne today in a headlong retreat which would abandon much of the channel coast and the vicinity of Paris.

The battle in the pocket below the Seine, swiftly whittled to an area of only 20 miles long and 15 miles deep, appeared likely to be ended in another 24 hours as Americans, British, Canadians and allied troops pressed In from all sides. The Canadians, advancing along the coast, captured Honfleur, five miles across the Seine bay from Le Havre. The Germans said they were engaged in a "detaching movement" below the Seine, and RAF intelligence reported the pattern of the retreat indicated Von Kluge's armor was in a mad dash, across the Seiue toward the Somme and the Marne. Wholesale Slaughter. "The wholesale salughter of the cream of Von Kluge's armor may never be repeated again in this war," a senior RAF officer said in France.

"We just can't hit armor the enemy hasn't got," ht explained. Dispatches said side roads in the Seine pocket were lined for miles with the litter of wrecked German tanks and military vehicles, enemy dead piled in the ditches and under trees or draped over burned and smouldering equip ment. "The enemy Is leaving bits and pieces to try and delay us, but there is no major stand all the way back to the Seine," a field headquarters officer said last night after a sharp Canadian advance of 20 miles had driven the Germans into an area about 25 miles long and 15 miles wide.

SLOPPY STORY The action at Paris was In itself a rather, sloppy story, stnking with another broken word of honor by the nails, who, under a false armistice double-crossed the French by rushing reinforcements into the city during a 24-hour truce, instead of withdrawing in fulfillment of their pledge. The Germans had promised Paris would be spared If their troops were allowed to withdraw. During the night they rushed In thousands of fresh soldiers to build op the main defenses.

Gilbert synopsized the testimony showing need for greatly increased service from about 6:30 a. m. to 11 a. and from 8 p.

The examiner finds Moran "fit, willing and able properly to perform the service proposed." Limited To Duration. Authority, the report says, should be limited to duration of the national emergency, not beyond December 31 of this year unless otherwise ordered by the commission.
