FORCE.—(/P)—

Allied troops have struck inland in France in heavy fighting, repulsing nazi counterblows near Caen nine miles from the coast, after clearing the enemy from all their landing beaches and linking up some of the beach-heads.

Reports from the Cherbourg peninsula invasion front showed "decided improvement" at midday, and the Allies are making "considerable progress on the whole front" despite bad weather and stiffening resistance, a headquarters officer said.

WASHINGTON.— (U.P) —

P r e m i r e Josef Stalin is spotlighted today /by President Roosevelt  a s the

forceful m a n w h o b r o u g h t British a n d American leaders to agreement

on u n d e r t a k i n g t h e invasion of western Europe.

Careful examination of D-day s t a t e m e n t s by Mr. Roosevelt and

P r i m e Minister Winston Churchill r e v e a l s much of t h e background

a n d some of  t h e  f u t u r e  of  t h e  g r e a t  m i l i t a r y  a d v e n t u r e s begun yesterday  o n  t h e coasts of France.

Churchill chose to look look ahead. I n contrast with Mr. Roosevelt's D-day news conference parrying of forward looking questions on grounds that they were improper for reasons of m i l i t a r y security, Churchill frankly advised the house of commons t h a t more than one landing in Europe was contemplated.
