makes the construction of run- '
commandos and provided not only
a devastating test of the defenses
which a second front expedition
will encounter but a large-scale
test of second front tactics.
All wespons were employed in
the assault. British naval forces
transported the troops and backed
them up with bombardment of
shore installations. Bombers at-
tacked known Nazi strong-points
and reinforcement communica-
tions lines.
So many British planes swarm-
ed into the air that Britons re-
called the days of the battle of
Britain when the RAF and Luft-
waffe fought to a finish for
domination of the air around the
British Isles.
For the Americans, the attack
represented the first time that
U. S. troops have set foot in
France since the first World War.
It climaxed months of intensive
preparation and training of volun-
tary specialists with British com-
mandos.
The chief objectives of the at-
tack were believed to be stores of
ammunition and other supplies
which the Nazis were thought to
have concentrated there to aid in
repelling a second front attack.
Dieppe also is a submarine oper-
ating base and a center of oper-
atohs of Nazi E-boats and armed
trawlers.
It was thought the commandos
may attempt to destroy a sealock
head in Dieppe harbor behind
which the Germans are said to
have concentrated the steel in-
vasion barges which they have
accumulated since 1940.
British combined operations
headquarters announced at 1 :05
p.m. (7:05 a.m. CWT) that tanks
had been landed in the center of
the Dieppe area, 60 miles across
the English channel from the
Sussex coast, and that heavy
fighting was proceeding.
The communique said that

Egypt, Aug. 18. (Delayed) (UP)
—The field telephone bell jangled
in the wee small hours rousing a
sleepy brigadier from his bed in a
brigade headquarters tent on the
desert front.
"Mr. Bullfinch will inspect your
troops at 8 a. m.," said a crisp
voice from general headquarters in
Cairo.
"Who?” asked the brigadier,
still half asleep.
“You’ll soon see,” the officer in
Cairo snapped.
A short time later the officers
and men of the British brigade
were lined up when "Mr. Bull-
finch” stepped from the car of
Gen. Sir Claude J. E Auchinleck.
There was no mistaking the
stooping figure, the famous cigar,
or the fingers raised in a jovial
“V” greeting.
"Blimmy, it’s Winnie! . . . Win-
nie's come out into the bloomin’
desert," exclaimed the men in the
ranks.
Prime Minister Winston Church-
ill Incognito, is Mr. Bullfinch.
Churchill was the last man the
begrimed soldiers of the Eighth
Imperial Army expected to see out

Appeal Made
For Economy
An appeal for economy and
conservation of all materials used
by civilians was made by H. A.
Daley, speaker at the Lions club
weekly luncheon held today at
noon in the Randolph hotel.
Daley emphasized the impor-
tance of economizing on clothing,
food and all materials that are
used in every day civilian life.
He pointed out in his talk that
civilians should repair all ma-
terials they have on hand, rather
than buying new materials. Daley
also discussed the importance of
maintaining an interest in all
government activities.
During the business session, Don
Belt, Lions’ chairman of the scran
metal drive, made an announce-
ment of the campaign and Guy
Hale discussed metal conservation.
Daley announced the formation of
new Red Cross first aid classes at
‘he conclusion of the meeting.
Guests were Garland R. Far-
mer, Jr., and Joe C. Gladney.
