 The Allies have won a vital diplomatic and economic victory. Turkey has severed relations with Germany. They represent a crushing defeat for Nazi Ambassador von Pappen. First the Turks built up their army and made certain its strength was not lost on the German emissary. Repercutions of Turkey's decision were felt immediately in Hitler's satellite countries. Most of them are reconsidering their Pappen allegiance to Berlin. At Andana, Prime Minister Churchill urged Turkey to throw her lot with the Allies. His efforts, along with those of the United States, have finally borne fruit. Germany has lost another source of desperately needed supplies. Barges are in mass production in both Britain and America. Concrete panels are turned out in record speed at birthside factories. A vibrator maturing process makes the concrete three times its normal strength. It is not required. Another future peacetime victory has been contributed by the exigencies of war. In the acknowledgement of their many successes, General Charles de Gaulle inspected his troops in Italy and paid a visit to the Vatican. In his reception, the leader of the French Committee of National Liberation devoted a period to meditation in the famed Sistine Chapel. The French commander was received in private audience by Pope Pius. He voiced his deep appreciation for the interest the Pontiff has expressed for the welfare and future of France. France's first soldier held a conference with Monsignor Malioni, the papal secretary of state. In French Morocco, he is first to see the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Association in action. Enra is the international agency set up by the Allies to bring aid to victims of war. At this first Enra camp, the people of many nationalities find refuge and allied assistance. Nutritious food, good care and kindly treatment have given new hope to these victimized peoples. Simple constructive work is provided and everyone helps to the best of his strength and skill. Schools have been established for children of all ages. Throughout the war-torn world, Enra is prepared to meet the manifold problems of rehabilitation that must come with a peace. Limited stocks of supplies already have been accumulated and others will be available as the need arises. Thousands of trained men and women are preparing to tackle the tremendous job that lies ahead. The Allies are not only winning the war, but are looking to the days of peace and reconstruction that lie ahead. First pictures of Henry Wallace's tour of the Far East. On a special mission for President Roosevelt, the United States Vice President inspects Siberia's vast collective farms. The former himself and one-time Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Wallace surprised his farmer hosts by being able to discuss their problems in their native tongue. Here he has shown endless Soviet agricultural experiments and expressed admiration for the Soviet farmer's ingenuity deep inside remote Siberia. Vice President is completely at home in the surroundings of the Soviet counterpart of his own Iowa farm. For China to continue his tour, the American statesman collected 43 kinds of grass seed. Machine tools and technical data on Siberia's community projects. Open warfare is the order of the day. The British sector in Normandy has burst wide open. The Americans are mopping up in Brittany and driving east toward Paris. The Nazi left flank is totally disorganized and unprotected, practically at the mercy of the Allied Armored Division's threatening to envelop it. The suite to Coutance carried the Americans through Marigny. At Marigny, like many other towns in France, the enemy tried to hang on tenaciously. The Allies had no choice but to drive them out by sheer firepower. Inhabitants were left temporarily homeless, and like all the towns occupied by the Allies, this one too will be rehabilitated as quickly as possible. This church, converted into a fortress by the Nazis, had to be dealt with as such. But temporary destruction is a small price to pay for liberation from Nazi tyranny. Here is 1940 in reverse. Not even the Nazi Blitzkrieg into France matches the spectacular speed with which the Americans are now advancing. So great is the impetus that the news necessarily has been far behind the actual advances. The town of Coutance too is battle-scarred, as General Bradley's men march in. But siege operations are almost over. Now undamaged towns are being evacuated by the Nazis, one after the other. On the British and Canadian front, the enemy resisted with all the strength he could muster. Once the hens of the Germans swing back from the west, this Nazi position has now given way. Bombers are on hand almost daily, striking the enemy with paralyzing effect. Nazi disaster is written along every meter of this front, and one Nazi commander after another has seen the writing. Even von Kluge himself has announced that the Germans are in critical flight. The enemy is without men to reinforce and without transport to withdraw. There is only one choice left to make his stand, his last stand, here and now. Already 200,000 German soldiers have made no stand at all. They chose the only sensible way out. They chose surrender.
