FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
BATTLE RAGES
NEAR FLORENCE;
TO FALL SOON
Slugging Ahead Slowly,
British Are Opposed
by Strong Force
By Robert Vermillion
Unit'd Pres* War Correspondent
ROME, Aug. 1. (U.R>—British and
German forces locked in a swaying
battle of tanks and infantry almost in
the outskirts of Florence today and
officinl reports said the eighth army
veterans wire slugging forward yard
by yard against some 50,000 to 75.000
crack Nazi troops manning the last
hill defenses below the city.
(Londqp dispatches intimated that
the fall of-flop nee was imminent, re-
porting Btjr Oen. Sir Harold Alexan-
der. Allies, commander in Italy, had
appealed to-patrlots inside the city to
prevent th" retreating Germans from
blowing up bridges and communica-
tions.
(A the same time, the German DNB
news agency repeat'd the familiar
claim that Florence was an open city
and indicated that the Nazis would
not attempt a house-to-house stand.)
An Alli'd communique reported that
heavy fighting raged along the entire
Florence front throughout yesterday,
with the eighth army making "slow
but methodical progress.”
Headquarters spokesmen revealed
that five picked German divisions had
be n thrown into the battle and that
the Nazis were waging a bitter, fight-
ing retreat, counter-attacking repeat-
edly and in force against the advanc-
ing Tommies.
Just south and southwest of Flor-
ence the Nazis were using three of
their b'-st divisions, the fourth para-
troops, the 20 panzers and the third
panzer grenadiers, fighting desperately
for possession of the dominating hill
positions less than five miles from
the city gates.
German shock troops, supported by
60-ton tiger tanks, counter-attacked
savagely against New Zealanders hold-
ing the mountain village of San Mich-
ele, five miles southwest of Florence,
yesterday and succeeded in ramming
five tanks into the town. They were
driven out again, however, under a
storm of gunfire from strong British
defenses inside the town.
Four miles to the east, South Afri-
can units b’*at off strong enemy coun-
ter-thrusts against San Andrea, while
other British units on thetr right flank
battled German infantrymen defend-
ing the Oreve river crossings about
seven miles south of Florence.
Eleven miles southeast of Florence,
the British were firmly in control of
Monte Scalarl, after repulsing five tne-
my counter-attacks, and other eighth
army forces were reported hammering
out small gains up the east side of
the Arno valley. The Germans hfld
the north bank of the Hlesco river,
16 miles southeast of Florence, with
th* British in possession of Cqstelfran-
co and Faella, just south of the river.
Hard fighting continued at ihe cen-
ter of the Italian front, where the
British were pushing slowly north and
northeast of Arezzo against stubborn
German resistance.
Advanced British columns reached
the Arno river gorges four miles north
of Arezzo, while Indian units advanc-
ed up the west side of the Tibear
valley b'hlnd a strong armored screen,
driving on Prato, 13 miles northeast
of Arezzo, and winning several strong
hill positions in that area
Only minor patrol clashes were re-
iwrted from tii Ordiatlc and Tyrrhen-
ian coastal fronts, with American units
on the latter sector apparently still
moving into position for an assault on
Pisa.

BULLETIN
S' be Christian, prominent barrister |
of Sapulpa. slugged a cow Monday J
The cow has a black eye . . . Sebe
has a black and blue wrist and is I
avidly pouring over the statutes re- j
lating to the awarding of a purple )
1 heart.
This simple story is part of daily
griSt of news en Imporla and en trivia
that happens every day in Sapulpa
Yet . . . here Is the STORY BEHIND
THE STORY.
Sebe didn't just go BERSERK.
This was no mere yielding to the
emotional demands of a hectic mo-
ment. Bai'k of this drama of the
milkshrd was many years of cha-
grin and frastraion . . . and
strange enough the threads of fate
that brought this dash of man and
animal together were set in motion
bv the present EDITOR OF THE
HERALD.
PROLOGUE
It happened several years ago. The
editor of the Herald had charge of a
radio program over KVOO in Tulsa on
behalf of J. Berry King, former at-
torney general of the state and who
■ was running in the primaries against
Marland et al for the democratic
nomination for gov rnor.
Sebe, at that time, I believe, was
county attorney for Creek county.
At any rate I had him and Fred
Tillman, Pawhuska. scheduled to
speak on the program. The day was
hot and Sebe. Fred ar.d myself had
quaffed many cool glasses of milk-
shake. After about the nin'Ji glass
the soda squirt in the drug store at
Fifth and Boston warned Sebe not
to drink them too fast. Sebe drew
himself up in s ern dignity and said.
Young man, I grew up on milk and
I’ve i.ever yet foundered or had a
MILKSHAKE STOMACHACHE.”
BUT ... 15 minutes later when Sebe
started to come to the "Mike" and
ddiverer an eulogy on J Berry King
he was SUDDENLY SEIZED WITH
THE CRAMPS and I had to rash Fred !
Tillman frantically to the “Mike in
a spMt second substitution. Fred TrcM
the floor manfully until we finally
got Sebe's cramps eased and he de-
livered the goods in a splendid man-
ner.
Afterward, however, he took me
side and hiswed indignantly “Boh I
feel as though the entire bovine
family 'threw me down'.., we who 1
have been their friend for years...
and I give my solemn word of hon- *
or tha*i some day. somewhere I
SHALL GET EVEN WITH A COW.”
So . . Monday he slugged a member
! of that division of the animal kingdom.
His fist is sore ... but I know his
heart Is buoyant.
For it was a memory he slugged ,
as well as a cow.

Kiefer Youth on Destroyer Sunk
, Off French Coast Invasion Day
Invasion day was a grim renllty to
Owen Keylcn, of. Kiefer, petty officer
second class, in the United States
navy, who hung onto a life raft In
the cold Atlantic for two hours after
his destroyer was shot out from under
him, and who saw many of his
buddies killed by the German elghty-
rishts as they hung onto the raft
watting to be picked up
"We were doing our job.” Keylon
stated, “running up and down the
beach about a mile from shore, bom-
barding the beaches of France pre-
ceding the landing of Allied troops,
when our destroyer was hit and dam-
aged beyond repair. Most of the cas-
ualties from our destroyer were killed
by the German three-inch guns as
they fired at us while we were help-
less ifl the water.
"After we were picked up by arf'-
other destreyer we were taken to
England and for a day were Just
regular 'G I Joes,' and not 'gobs' as
we were issued regulation army cloth-
ing and it wasn't untif we reached
Plymouth, England, that we received
navy uniforms again.
"The Germans were pretty well
fortified for the D-day they knew
were coming, but their preparations
could not compare with our attack as
the English channel was a continu-
ous line of ships and overhead all
you could see was Allied planes.”
Petty, Office* Keylon, electrician In
charge of gyro-compass and repair
communication systems, a vital part
of any ship engaged in combat, con-
siders the day their destroyer sank
a German submarine the most ex-
citing in his one and a half years of
active duty, usually with a convoy
comprised of a task force carrier,
cruiser and three other destroyers
who took Allied planes in to bongb
enemy shipping, etc.
"f have been a lot of place* in-
cluding Iceland. Scotland. England.
Basa Blanca. Bermuda, the Panama
Canal. crossed the Arctic Circle up
to 78 degrees and have seen many
wonderful sights such as the mou-
strous icebergs you see in the news-
reels, etc., but the United States for
me as soon as we can get this war
won." says Keylon. who has only
memories of the places he has been
sine? he lost all hi* souvenirs *whon
' their destroyer was sunk
Keylon is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. A. Keylon of Kiefer. He graduated
from the Kiefer high school. Tulsa
Business college and was employed in
the offices of th« Chrysler and Ply-
mouth agency in Tulsa at the time
of his enistment into the navy in
May, 1942. ,
Keyon, who escaped all ‘enemy
thrusts and received not a single
scratch in these engagements, was
the willing victim of a dart from
Cupid's bow shortly after his arrival
home recently. His marriage to the
former Helen Frankenberger took
place here last week at Uie Sacred
Heart Catholic church.
Monroe Duckins, 45-year-old Bris-
tow Negro, was brought to the county
jail yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Curt
Bromley after having been arrested 1
by Bristow police. A former inmate
of the insane asylum, Duckins had
been acting peculiarly lately and the
Bristow police were given orders to
apprehend him. The crafty Negro j
went into hiding about that time 1
and had not been seen lately until
he appeared on the streets of Bristow
yesterday. It took several officers to
subdue and Jail him, but Deputy
Brun.ley said he was perfectly quiet
coming from Bristow. Officials here
thought he would be sent to the in-
sane asylum for Negroes at Taft,
from which institution he was re-
leased several months ago.
•P. S.—TOOK 122 PRISONERS'
TRENTON, Mo <LP>—All in a day's
routine! Pvt. Harvey snldow of
Trenton recently wrote a letter to
his wife here while taking part in
lAe Allied push from Anzio to Rome.
8nodaw added a "P. S." to his letter
and said, "Oh, yes, another boy and
I captured 122 prisoners one morn-
ing. That was a pretty good haul,
wasn't it? We had to do a little
shooting, but we got them.”
Reds Drive into Warsaw
Suburbs to Besiege
Burning Polish City

MOSCOW, Aug. I Ittissi.ii
tanks, self-propelled guns and me-'J
rhanizrd infantry stormed through
the northrm. eastern and southeast-
ern suburb? of Warsaw today behind
a mighty air angi ground bombard-
ment that pulverized Nazi strong
points.
Marshal Konstantin K. Kokossov-
sky's first White Russian army was
pouring across the immediate ap-
proaches to the Polish capital on a
30-mile arc laf.er cutting virtually
all its communcatlons lying on the
east bank of the Vistula river.
• London sources estimated that
Kokassovsky had thrown 1,000,000 nvn
against Warsaw, while Berlin report-
ed that the industrial area of Praga.
directly across the Vistula front War-
saw proper, was under assault.)
One of the most powerful of Rus-
sia's armies began the climactic battle
yesterday with the capture of the
suburbs of Wolomtn, seven miles
northeast; Badziman. nine miles north-
east; Debe Wlelke, 12 miles east and
Otwock, 11 miles southeast, and press-
ed on toward the capital Itself with-
out pause.
Swarms of Russia's famous Stormo-
vlk attack planes, roaring out ahead
of the ground forces, bombed and
strafed troops gradually falling back
toward and across the Vistula under
the relentless pressure Shells from
mobile artillery and advancing tanks
further disrupted the defense, and
long-range guns already were pound-
ing the capital.
The stage was set for the final as-
sault by the toppling only yesterday
of three of the most formidable strong-
holds on the eastern and southeastern
approaches ito Warsaw. SS.’dlce, 50
miles east; Lukow, 16 miles south of
Sledlce, and Mlnsk-Mazonwiecki, 18
miles east of Warsaw.
Strong Points by Passed
All three had been by-passed in a
swift advance up*Ttl«’ east bank of
the Vistula, but the Germans rushed
the ss Viking. Hermann Goring and
death's head tank division, as well as
several infantry divisions, into battle
in a desperate but futile effort to save
them.
Altogether, more than 500 towns
and villages were swept up by Rokos-
sovsky's first army In its series of
advances yesterday.
Farth' r north, Gen. Ivan D. Chcr-
nlakhovsky's third White Russian
army extended its breakthrough on
the approaches to east Prussia to 31
miles on a 150-mile front and at one
point was less than 12 miles from the
pre-war border of Germany's eastern-
most home province.
While one column drove through
Kppets, nine miles south of Augustow
and only 12 mile* from the southeast-
ern corner of East Prussia, another
widened its w‘ dge in the disputed
Suwalki triangle with *he capture of
Sekny. 16 miles east of Suwalki and
nearly 12 miles inside the provincial
border arbitrarily set by Germany
following ihe partition of Poland in
1939
Cherniak)iOvsky's forces also ’broke
into the mreeta of Kaunas, pre-war
capital At Lithuania and cut both the
Kaunas-fnsterburg and Kaunas-Su-
walkl railways, virtually sealing the
fate of that city. <Berlin reported
that German troops had evacuated
Kaunas.)
The Soviet high command reported
In its midnight eommunque that the
Germans were abandoning a groat
number of weapons and other equip-
ment In their retreat toward East
Brussta.
Gen. Ivan C Bagramian's first Bal-
tic army also scored a strategic victory |
with the capture of the six-way La-
tvian railway Junction of Jelgava. 23
miles south of Riga, In an advance
that rapidly was narrowing the escape
corridor for some 20 enemy divisions
in the Baltic states.
Up to 2.000 Germans were killed In
the fighting for Jelgava, while 40
guns and 60 tanks and self-propelled
guns were knocked out.
Gains also were reported elsewhere
along the vast front stretching from
the Gulf of Finland to the Carpathian
mountains, with the 8oviet high com-
mand announcing the capture of a
grand total of 2.140 towns and villag-
es—the gnaiest number ever liberat-
ed in a 24-hour period.
