Opposition Is Noted Those opposing the setting up of a special bureau say there is a veterans' vrelief and executive board already located Nassau and that a special bureau, similar to those being established in other parts of the state by Edward C. O. Thomas of Garden City, would be out of place in Nassau. ~ Thomas recently was appointed head~of the new state agency by Governor Thomas E. Dewey and the original plan enveloped a ten- tative proposal to use civilian de- fense organizations \to help the veterans of World war II. Authorities point out that there are several counties throughout ; the state which do not have veter- | ans organizations already estab- | lished and in that case, a new bureau of this sort would be of | considerable value.

Valkenburg of Seaford, who died Monday, was sung by more than 200 priests yes- terday in the Church of St. Wil- liam the Abbott, Seaford, where he had been pastor since March 15, 1937. The Right Rev. Thomas E. Molloy, S. T. D., bishop of Brooklyn. and Long Island, gave the blessing.

It was estimated that about 2,000 persons visited the church. The Rev. Francis Ryan, pastor of St. Mary's church, Roslyn; who was a close friend of Father Valkenburg since they were boys together in Ireland, gave the eulogy and was celebrant at the mass, The Rev, John O'Doherty of St. Agnes church, Brooklyn, was deacon, and the Rev. Charles Cun- ningham of St. Anne's church, Flushing, was sub-deacon. The Rev. Andrew Heaney of St. Mary's church, Islip, was master of ceremonies. The church, seat- ing about 600 persons, was filled to capacity and many other per- sons stood outside during the mass.

Victorious American troops have captured Coutances, driven westward to the sea just below that Normandy road center and pressed on at least six miles to the south in a new threat to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's whole defense of POLAND] Black areas on this map show territory captured by Red armies during the week ending July 29, with shading indicating other areas taken since June 22. Numerals show 10 major cities captured from the Germans in the greatest 24-hour gain of the campaign. - Red Army Spearheads In Sight Of Warsaw By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Red army spearheads rolling across the Polish plain were reported within sight of Warsaw today and the Ger- man communique said other Soviet forces had penetrated the Latvian rail hub of Jelgava, which would practically bisect the Baltics. IT («> JAP WAR PLANTS the vanguard out Super Planes In Daylight Raid On Industries In Manchuria By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The roving American fleet of superfortresses struck today at Japan's transplanted war indus- tries in Manchuria in the first daylight attack of the 20th bomb- er command. s A terse communique, issued here by the 20th air force, report- ed only that the' B-20's attacked \industrial objestiv in the Muk- den area, Manchur and added that no further details were avail- able at the time (1:51 a. m., east- ern war time). It was then day- light in Manchuria, The two previous operations of the 20th bomber command- against Yawata on June 15 and against Yawata and Sasebo, third largest naval base of Japan, on July 7-were night attacks, at low level. One of the purposes of today's strike apparently was to test out the B-28's in daylight operation lacking details, those who studied the brief report on the attack as- sum@d that the high-altitude, pre- cision bombing technique used by other daylight strategie bombing forces was followed in the Muk- den attack, In the first night attack on Yawata, four planes were lost, one over the target, hit by flak; one Daugavpils (Dvinsk) and about 21 miles southwest of Riga on an arm of the Baltic sea. Can See The City Brijish dispatches from the eastern front said Warsaw could be seen by advance Soviet forces in the Polish offensive, made up of cavalry, scout cars and tanks, Fighting apparently raged on in the vicinity of Jelgava as the Russians threatened to pinch off German Baltic divisions by gain- ing mastery of the rail line from Siauliai to Kaunas, The Russians already held Siauliai, 50 miles south of Jelgava. The Germans declared they still held Siedice, 30 miles east of War- saw, but Russian dispatches said Marshal Konstantin K. Rokossov- sky's right wing was moving on the city for the purpose of joining forces which were battling Ger- mans in the streets after captur- ing Brest Litovsk. Dispatches did not locate the Russian spearhead positions. _ As Ukrainian army units to the south seized Jaroslaw and Prze- mysl, Nazi strongholds on the route to Germany, Rokossovsky's advance units stabbed forward during the night from Kolbiel, 20 miles southeast of Warsaw, and powerful artillery pieces behind them were wheeled. into position. (A London broadcast recorded by OWI sand Russian troops had reached \the outer fortifications of Warsaw,\ quoting Moscow press dispatches.) The marshal left units under Kuban Coasack General Pliev to help special mopping up squads take care of three Nazi divisions pinned against the western bug river. Field dispatches said it was the same old story-thousands of Germans waiting too long to re- treat.

F {interior France, supreme headquarters disclosed today. -* Thus far 5,000 German pris- oners were reported taken, and Lieutenant General Omar N. Bradley's men were 15 to 20 miles south of their jumpoff line of last Tuesday. Of the prisoners, it was esti- mated that 1,500 were rounded up yesterday. Since Tuesday, the Americans have overrun nearly 300 square miles of territory, equal to nearly a quarter of the total taken by all Allied fortes in the previous seven weeks of the in- vasion. Pushing Toward Vire Due south of St. Lo another American spearhead pushed down the Vire river from captured Tessy-Sur-Vire toward the key communications center of Vire, 12 miles away. On the section of the 40-mile front east of St. Lo the road to Berigny and Bayeux was cleared of Germans, St. Jean-Des- Baisa on the lateral St. Lo- Caumont highway and Vidouville were captured. There was no evidence that any large number of Germans was caught in the ~Coutances area pocket formed by the junction of the westward thrust and the drives southward from the region of Les- say and Periers. The absence of a pronounced delaying action in Rommel's pre- cipitous withdrawal was inter- preted by some as indicating that he had had time to evacuate the pocket. However, the Yank onslaught was so rapid and was penetrating so deeply into the ranks of the re- treating Germans that it looks as if Rommel well may have lost as many men outside the pocket as he might have in it. Reported At Brehal The spearhead that closed the Coutances pocket reached the sea south of the Sienne river estuary some four miles below the city as columns from the north and west gained heights over- the city, put it under artillery fire and then quickly moved in. At least two more columns driv= ing south in an 18-mile stretch be- low Coutances have reached St. Denis-le-Gast and Maupertuis on the east-west highway between the Tessy-sur-Vire and Brehal, South of the Cobtances line. An addi- tional force was forging down the Vire river itself. (The British radio, quoting cor- respondents at supreme headquar- ters, said that American tanks had reached Brehal, 41 miles below Coutances and only. 2% miles from the coast. The broadcast was recorded by CBS.) U. S. ninth air force pilots yes- terday knocked out 70 German tanks over the Granville-Villedieu area. They damaged or probably of | destroyed 34 more, and altogether Jelgava, 120 miles northwest of|attacked 1,000 other German ve- hicles, A front dispatch said that six miles southeast of Coutan es ene- my resistance was reported at Montpichon. American armor had yet to dump into an organized enemy line and the Germans were trying to protect their withdrawal with small groups of infantry and tanks left behind as rear guards. Rommel. was reported moving reinforcements westward from the still quiet Caen front, It ap- peared that the whole great American push would force him within the next few days to pull back his forces-roughly to a line Continued on Page 3, Col. 6 CORRESPONDENCE MAPLE SETTEE AND ARMCHAIR 4-POSTER DOUBLE MAPLE BED, COMPLETE.
