"GOING WELL"
ON INVASION FRONT German Anxiety Concerning Further Landings N.Z. Press Association—Copyright Rec. 11 a.m. NEW YORK, June 15. Things are going better on the invasion front than can be gathered from the official news issued at Allied Headquarters. This is the impression gained by H. R. Knickerbocker, correspondent in France for the New York newspaper, P.M. "The German High Command,'* Mr. Knickerbocker adds, "is obviously torn with anxiety to know whether this is our only or our main landing.

We know that Hitler has already begun to draw on this strategic reserve, but only in a cautious degree. What he wants to avoid more than anything next to an immediate defeat is to commit his reserve against Normandy and then experience another Anzio beachhead. At this stage the second front is the kind of warfare that delights- students of military strategy." The Stockholm newspaper Afton Bladet, quoting dispatches from Berlin, stated that new Allied landings in the Calais and Osjpnd areas are expected momentarily*
