Allies gain in France, meet harsh rebuffs
ALLIED SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, LONDON, June 14, (UP)—Allied armies, keeping pace almost to the hour with an invasion time table laid out a year ago, made advances of up to five miles in France Tuesday and clamped a pincers around Caen, but American troops gave ground to fierce counterattacks at Montebourg and Carentan.
At a late hour Tuesday, Allied headquarters circles were unable to say which side held Montebourg, 14 miles southeast of Cherbourg, and Carentan, near the base of the Cotentin peninsula. Front reports said that street battles were in progress in both towns.* j-
But the Americans thus tempor- en through the Cerisy forest reach-arily stalled in their drive on Cher-! ed points 20 airline miles inside bourg. the Allied momentum shifted France—the deepest penetration yet
The Trojan herd thundered to the front again last night as SC was announced the winner of the tri-college bond competition. Massing a total of $152,636 in E series bonds during the concentrated six day drive, Troy outclassed University of California with only $99,-615 and UCLA with $80,988.90.
A fighter squadron, top prize in the contest, will bear an insignia stating that the planes were given “by the students of the University of Southern California through their contribution in United States War Bonds.”
In winning the competition, Troy not only massed the largest total sales, but also acquired the largest per capita sum. The contest was based on the average amount of bonds purchased per student over a base requirement of $75,000. Trojan collections amounted tp almost $17 per student over the minimum.
Co-chairman of the intensive bond drive were Mary Kirschner, Alpha Delta Pi, and
Frank McMahon, Delta Tau Delta. Under the War Board, headed by Patty Wiese, the ASSC accepted the challenge to the war bond duel three weeks ago, acting upon a telegram from University of California.
A large portion of the credit for the success of the drive belongs to the many campus organizations who contributed time and talent “In particular the Trojan sororities are responsible for our winning,” McMahon stated. “Outstanding sorority and leader in bond sales, Zeta Tau Alpha, will be presented with $25 in popular or classical recordings for raising a total of $33,425 during the week. The recordings are the gift of radio's Al Jarvis of KFWB’s ‘‘Make Believe Ballroom.”
Additional leaders in the sorority bond sales are Delta Delta Delta with a total of $32,112.50 and Kappa Alpha Theta with $17,725. Delta Gamma was fourth with bond sales of $16,500.
Trovets. organization of honorably discharged servicemen, opened the campaign last Monday with an all-U rally featuring Stan Kenton, Anita ODay, Andy Russell, and Connie Haines.
Tail end tallies brought in the additional bond sales over the weekend and accounted for the final tally of $152,636.15. Contributing to the success of the drive were the Freshman Steering committee, Dorothy Dutton. Joy Cameron, Betty Markowitz, and Muriel Gotthold. Lee Ingham was in charge of posters, while Lois Stephenson and Sadie Baulch arranged for publicity.
toward the east flank of the 100 mile invasion front where a joint Anglo-American column was reported making substantial gains in a swinging drive to get behind Caen.
(A Berlin broadcast heard by NBC said that Montebourg had been recaptured by the Germans.)
Plunging through a break between the Cerisy forest and German-regained Tilly Sur Seulles, armored forces drove to a point south of Balleroy, 20 miles west of Caen, then eastward in fluid fighting across a wide front. The exact gain was not revealed, but a dispatch from Richard D. McMillan of the United Press said that British tanks were driving behind both Tilly and Caen.
The advance penerated close to Caumont, six miles southeast of Balleroy, and Villers Bocage, seven miles south of Tilly, as the Germans were caught off guard and the light forces encountered beat a hasty retreat.
Continuing on due south, American troops which already had driv-
