Senator Austin (R-Vt.) said that five Democrats and three Republicans fought over almost every issue, and, using proxies of absent members, split 10 to 7 on major votes. Principal opposition centered on provision for setting up a series of joint councils through the nation, made up of representatives of labor, agriculture and industry, to advise with A National Production Employment Board on matters of production, employment and war contract terminations. "It would be just like another NRA." Austin told a reporter. "If this provision is acted, it would establish industra. and area advisory councils, thousands of them, local and area groups, who would have to advise with the director as to the effect upon them of every demobilization plan.

The Allied tactical air assault was pushed against the retreating Germans in France, keeping them off balance and split from reinforcements of men and equipment.

Sailor Confesses (Continued from Page One) trary to first belief, the murder had been committed where the body was found. Higgins, in his confession, Hickey said, told of disrobing the body and hiding, the clothes in a clump of woods a hundred yards distant from the scene. The clothing was recovered.
The girl came to this vacation resort last Sunday with several girl co-workers at the Russell Manufacturing: Company of Middletown where she was employed as an inspector of war materiel. The group included a sister who identified the body. Ida was one of 10 children of Mr. and Mrs. Sabastian Sienna.
She had last been heard from, the State Police Commissioner said, when she called her mother from Old Lyme and told her she was enjoying her vacation. The victim, a strikingly pretty, black -haired girl, whose slender throat bore distinct finger marks. was found face down, not far from the main line of the New Haven road shortly after noon today. Authorities said the crime had been committed during Thursday night and that Higgins had returned to the submarine base, where he was arrested. Mt.
View Closing Would Save $157,000 Portland, Mountain Aug. View Housing Ten: Project in South Portland, ordered I vacated by the government, were told tonight by K. Wiley, New England Regional Federal Public Housing Authority director, that closing of the development would save $157,000 in next year. Occupants 00. of the $1,885,000, 382- family project replied to Wiley at a meeting in the office of Rep.
Robert (R-Me) that the shut-down would seriously affect the morale of shipyard-worker tenants and might lead many to quit their war jobs and return to their original homes. Wiley said that in addition to saving to the federal government, reasons for placing the project on a "stand-by" basis were inability to fremen to tend the 17 rectaling systems; saving of 1,000 tons coal annually; and more comfort for certain tenants, unless the heating system was altered. The government has offered to move tenants to other government housing. Wiley said that with an average tenancy of 53 percent in 1943-44, Mountain View incurred a total operating loss of $69,807, including $30,000 in taxes. Officers Together Have Double Trouble With the 2nd Inf.
Div. in France -(AP)-A field artillery officer and liaison officer have called it "quits" as far as traveling together near the front lines. They are Lt. Col. Richard C.
Carpenter of Danville, and Capt. James C. Hamill of Oklahoma City, who have had four narrow escapes while making reconnaissance trips together. When with others, neither has experienced an untoward incident. Once they were pinned down in an open field for several hours by machine gun fire from the front and by snipers on their flank.
A 105 mm artillery shell almost ended their friendship on the next oCcasion. On another mission, two rounds from an 88 mm gun landed near them. The fourth time they were at the top of an observation tower. The only artillery round directed at this target passed a few feet above it while they were together.

Finally the movie operator clicked off his projector, shouted above the din: "That's all, fellows; the weather's too tough!" Grousing, the dripping GI's left the hillside. Just as the last few were clear, a crackling noise rang, out.
A 30-foot long, soggy limb came thundering down, smashing make-shift seats and covering the place with litter. Now the movie operator's a hero.

Robots Hit Lowest Ebb As Defense Begins to Score By JUDSON O'QUINN I London, Aug. 4 -(AP)- The Gerrobot bomb barrage sputtered today to its lowest point since it broke nearly eight weeks ago as Allied bombers pounded the rocket lairs for the third straight day, a and home defenses knocked off the projectiles with great success. In addition, more, than 1,200 U. S.

This all-out effort to win the battle of the robots held down both casualties and damage, unlike yesterday when the bombing of the positions stirred up hornest and gave London and southern England one of the heavlest robot poundings of the entire campaign.

The statement added that military bridges could be quickly thrown across the Arno inside Florence and that the destruction would not hold the Allied advance for long or have any bearing on future operations. The Allied statement threw but little light on the military situation inside Florence-not saying whether enemy troops had withdrawn entirely from the northern part of the city -but continued at length on German vandalism.
It called the "wanton tion" of bridges "just another ample of Field Marshal Albert Kesselring's order to his troops to carry demolitions with sadistic imagination." After yesterday's concerted advance by British, New Zealand and South African troops and southwest of Florence, South African units crashed into the outskirts early today and sent patrols probing river bank.

Prior to the Eighth Army's entry into the city, Allied artillery had shelled crossings of the just west Florence. mArine German foothold on the south bank of the Arno east and west from Florence had been narrowed to slightly over 20 miles.
Enemy forces holding this line were being pressed back close to the river and were in danger of being cut and annihilated should the Eighth Army break through and isolate them from the few river crossings tsill available. Florence's defenses collapsed only after weeks of bitter fighting in the hills to south and southwest. It was announced that the Eighth Army had captured 5,000 prisoners in the past 24 hours and that the enemy's losses in killed and wounded had been very high. In many instances severe losses forced the Nazis to combine fragments of battalions and regiments to form fighting units, an Allied spokesman said.

Infantry In Luxury The infantry, at last riding in semi-luxury on the wave of the biggest victory of the western front -were believed keeping within 10 to 20 miles of main tank columns. Apparently the Germans' left flank had unraveled all the way back to the Vire river in mid-Normandy, and there was evidence of a further raveling behind a suicidal rearguard around the old Normandy capital of Vire, Significant of this retreat under pressure was the discovery of German ammunition dumps abandoned intact in the northern edge of the big forest of Sever, west of Vire. There was heavy fighting around Vire and St. Pois, to the southwest.

Hard after the fleeing Nipponese, almost turning their flight into a rout, were American infantry and marines.
They were aided by light tanks as they plunged into the wooded terrain in pursuit, straining every effort to maintain contact with the enemy. Less than a third of Guam. an American possession, remained to be conquered. The Japanese garrison had been more than halved by battle losses. Effective troops for the showdown fight probably numbered less than 7.000, considering the number of dead, last reported to total 7,893.
The remnants of the once strong garrison were rapidly being cut up even before the last stand. A field dispatch reported that one company of light tanks killed more than 200 in one day of patrolling near 674-foot high Barrigada peak, near the eastern coast.
