Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, commanding Allied forces in the Mediterranean, announced that the objective was a junction with the Normandy-Brittany front—a move which would free all southwestern France and cut off Germany from land contact with Spain and Portugal.
Front reports Including German broadcasts indicated that the first goal in the drive was the important railroad and highway junction of Frejus, 17 miles southwest of Cannes.
A special announcement issued at 10 p.m. (4 p.m. EWT) announced that American and French troops landed from American, Canadian and British ships captured the islands of Port Gros and Levant, about 25 miles southeast of the great naval base of Toulon and five miles off the coast, and Cape Negre, 25 miles east of Toulon on the main-

Both the university and the navy department are much in favor of the council’s action, according to Dean Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men. The office of the dean will cooperate in the move by furnishing the records needed for the awards.
Interfraternity scholarship keys, for which each fraternity member receiving a grade average of 1.5 or better is eligible, will be stimulated, according to the committee.
“Fraternity interest in scholarship achievements has been responsible for the maintenance of high standards in the past,” Dean Bacon said, “and this move by the council should serve to raise that mark even more.”
Members of the interfraternity scholarship committee will hold a meeting late this week to determine other means of Jfcimulating scholarship interest.
