Mounting requirements of the aimy
demand a more than 24 percent
production boost by October over
June's *1852 000.000 output. Lieu-
tenant Genera! Brehon Somervell
said today /
Although foreseeing a sharp drop
once Germany Is defeated, the com-
manding general of the army service
j forces told a news conlerence that
until the Nazi armies arc crushed,
needs will grow steadily
"Wliat we've got to get Is the
same sense of urgency that we had
a >ear ago," he declared, adding
pointedly: "There are 25 percent
more tourists in northern Michigan
this year than In the hj6tory of the
country.”
Explaining that as allied lines are
lengthened and the pace of battle It
stepped up the need for munitions
transport and equipment of all kinds
will continue to rise, Somervell said:
Our biggest demand will come
the day that Germany collapses."
Once that day arrives, lie added
the accumulation ot supplies can
be diverted to' the war against Jap-
an and munitions requirements ac-
cordingly will decline, probably b
50 percent.

Engulfing two German strong

In a mounting offensive that could
swing east toward Paris, west to-
ward Brest or due south In a light-
ning strike to seal off the penin-

A Madrid dispatch, however, In-
dicated that Brest, debarkation
point for American troops In the
first World war, might be the goal.
Guerillas Menace Rear
French guerillas helping the al-
lied Invasion were reported en-
gaged in heavy fighting with Vichy
militiamen around St. Brleur 65
miles west of captured Avran<-*:es
on the road to Brest. Supreme head-
quarters announced that French
patriots were fighting the enemy In
widely scattered sections of France
and that the Germans had been
forced to bring into action artillery,
planes and parachute troops In an
effort to eliminate the menace to
their rear.
American armored columns storm*-
-d across the Selune river below the
captured stronghold of Avranches
and debouched onto the plains of
France.
May be *Big Push*
The allied offensive on an 80
mile front was unchecked after a
week of spectacular successes and
appeared to carry the possibilities
of the big push of August 1918 that
eventually drove the Germans back
to France's eastern border.
The Germans resisted strongly
along their Oothic line in Italy and
hurled five divisions into the de-
fense ~of Florence. "It is clear the
enemy Is determined to make a real
stand as long as he is able but the
eighth army’s advance is relentless-
ly forcing him from successive
strong points,” allied headquarters
In Rome said.
Counter Blows Repulsed
The surprise offensive launched by
the British in the center of the Nor-
nandy front Sunday smashed ahead
wore than four miles to less than
two miles west of the German
stronghold of Lebeny-Bocage which
's 11 miles south of Caumont. The
Germans launched strong counter-
attacks near Percy In an effort to
thwart another big allied entrap-
nent operation but front report*
hid the attacks were held.
Spreading out from Avranches,
American armor spanned the last
