Rejects Request Churchill rejected a request for a secret discussion saying he thought that would give an impression he had "not been frank." Deep shelters hitherto regarded as a reserve now will be brought into use, Churchill said, adding that Home Secretary Herbert Morrison ought to be congratulated "on having these up his sleeve." The total of deaths Churchill reported would figure at the rate of more than 3600 monthly not so heavy as those inflicted by the Luftwaffe at its prime four years ago. Monthly casualties during the blitz included: September, 1940, 6976 deaths; October, 6311; November, 5003; December, 3992; January, 1941, 1648; February, 860; March 4610; April 6469; May 5601; June 406. To Move Civilians Churchill said that in addition to children, non essential civilians would be encouraged to leave London but that all others must remain at their posts.

Tossing aside a hypothetical suggestion that Parliament move away from London, Churchill growled: "Here we began the war and here we will see it ended." The House cheered. The German radio reacted promptly, saying that "Churchill made no attempt to minimize the effects of the flying bomb." It asserted that "Churchill defended himself against charges that the British government had almost completely prevented discussion of the effects of (robot bomb) and that counter measures were insufficient." London Casualties High Churchill disclosed that flying bomb casualties occurred almost wholly in London. He said that "a very high proportion of the casualties a little over 10,000 severe or mortal" have been in the metropolis. That compared with an overall total of about 10,752 2752 killed and 8000 wounded badly enough to be con fined in hospitals. Children already are being sent away from the capital, the Prime Minister disclosed, and the evac uation of others is not being dis couraged since "we do not want more people in London than are required for business and the pur poses of peace and war." About 50,000 tons of Allied bombs have been dropped "so far" on flying bomb and rocket targets in i ranee and Germany, Church ill said.

"Quite a considerable proportion of our flying power has been di verted from other forms of of fensive activity," the Prime Minister continued. "The Germans have sacrificed a good deal of manufacturing strength which could have increased their fighter and bomber forces. "It is yet to be decided whose effort will suffer most in the Offers No Guarantee Churchill said he could give "no guarantee" about the future of this form of Germany's attack. He recalled that when he visit' ed the scene of flying bomb dam age last Saturday the only question asKea of mm was "what are you going to ao aoout it" Churchill said he renlied "everything in human power, and we have never failed yet. With ringing tones the Prime Minister recalled his bulldog de iiance when London" was getting its heaviest doses of bombs dropped by planes more than three years ago during the blitz.

He concluded with this proud boast: "London will never be conquered and will never fail in her renown. Triumphing over every ordeal, her light will long shine among men." Many Down Between 100 and 150 flying bombs have been sent over daily, Churchill reported, but he added that "a very large proportion" failed to cross the channel or were shot down or destroyed by "various methods" which he did not describe. Churchill said tha.t "casualty and first aid services in Greater London were working excellently. They are not at all strained beyond their capacity." "The flying bomb is a weapon literally and essentially indiscriminate in its nature, purpose NAZI WAR PRISONERS ESCAPE Wearing blue denims but carrying German army uniforms, these Nazi soldiers escaped from a prison camp at Gettysburg, Monday, starting an extensive search by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Churchill spoke of "the bom bardment of London" and thus disclosed officially for the first time that flying bombs have fallen on the British capital. As the Prime Minister spoke, Allied bombers pounded the nests of the robot planes on the French coast. "If it had not been for the bombing operations in France and Germany, the bombardment of London would no "doubt have started perhaps six months earlier and on a very much heavier scale," Churchill told a Commons which had been restive under the Government's policy of secrecy concerning the winged bombs.

Nazis Arc Using Decoys in France, Refugees Declare Madrid, July 6, (JP The Germans in France are making sys tematic use of decoys in an effort to divert Allied air attacks and have stationed lightly armed troops throughout the country as window dressing to give an appearance of military strength in every section, refugees reaching Spain declare. "All German troops not actu ally fighting are set to work build ing dummy tanks," said one man who served with German occu pation troops the south of France. "These wooden tanks are built by soldiers in their spare time and placed on hill tops and other points where they are likely to be seen by low flying air marauders in an effort to divert their strafing and bombing from actual tanks and motorized equipment concealed elsewhere. "Every cbmpany has been or dered to build at least one dummy tank a week." Another refugee reported that Nazi troops transferred to France after severe fighting on the Rus sian front arrived lacking the most essential arms and equipment, which had been abandoned during their retreat. "While awaiting new equip ment," he said, "we were stationed in various towns and villages, moved from one place.

Hope Abandoned (Continued From Page 1) UDon. Marcus Kerr, chief of the state division of mines, had expressed belief the men could be reached.

Charles E. Young, assistant su Derintendent of the mine, had as serted that if the men could have barricaded themselves properly, they could have held out five or six days. On the other hand, Adolph Paci fico. vice president of District 6, United Mine Workers, had assert ed late yesterday: "I do not think they will una one of them alive. Scores of relatives of the en tombed men were waiting hopefully at the mine entrance when officials announced that the shaft must be sealed.

To Cut Oxygen Supply Closing the shaft will cut off the oxygen supply and the fire wilt burn itself out. It must remain sealed for several weeks before workers can return to remove the bodies of the victims. In the mine when the fire start ed were 199 men. "All buTthe 64, however, were in areas from which they could reach exits safely. The mine currently employed 850 men.

Immediately upon receiving the news, George Emery, a 45 year old foreman and father of four children, went into the pit to help the trapped men. Hours later he had not returned. The flames spread to two other areas, but these were brought un der control. The burning section is near an area where two men perished in a fire two years ago. The area had been sealed until a few months ago.

It added that in 10 days the French underground had caused 24 train derailments, destroyed two tunnels and caused wholesale delays in German troop move ments, including a whole train load of tanks. Several armored vehicles have been captured and 150 Germans killed and 15 prisoners taken in one engagement alone. Foe Positions Packed Headquarters announced that Nazi troops were more densely packed in defense positions in the Caen region than on any battle ground in this or the last war The supreme command said that the German troops there had reached a concentration of one division to slightly less than three miles of the front a situation that leaves little room for The Allied troops also are closely packed, with little freedom of movement. The German high command was reported throwing tanks and infantry lavishly into the battle, and hand to hand fighting was going on for the airfields south of newly captured Carpiquet. The mile long Carpiquet air field is a no man's land and an officer observer reported to su preme headquarters tnat three sets of two huge hangars had been destroyea.

German Tanks Active "German tanks can be seen moving among the remains of the hangars and shells whistle from both sides of the airdrome," he said, adding: "Dear Germans he around the tracks (of the Bayeux Carpiquet railroad) and dead cattle lie the adjoining fields." The airdrome, built in 1938, is one of the best in Normandy and has been used extensively by the Germans. The close packing of the troops leaves little opportunity for wide flanking moves. The density of the German troops facing the Americans is roughly half that of the Germans around Caen, but more difficult terrain the Cherbourg Penin sula offsets this advantage for the doughboys. It was agreed here that deluge of high explosives from the air and a mighty artillery barrage are needed to crack hole in the German lines around Caen. Today's clearing weather gave promise of the most intense air activity for three weeks.

Front dispatches indicated that medium bombers, which have been inactive over the battle area for several days, struck last night and this morning in and around Caen. Heavy Artillery Duels On the American side of the front, Australian and New Zea land Mosquitos supported the ad vancing doughboys during the night. The pilots reported heavy artillery duelling along the 17 miles of the battle front on, the Cherbourg Peninsula. The German air force took ad vantage of a cloud cover yester day to challenge the Allied air supremacy isolated sectors but lost 35 planes in the air against 17 for the Allies. Four other German planes were destroyed on the ground.
