The report notes Allied armored columns crossing the Marne to the northeast of Paris and capturing Meaux, with spearheads reaching Vitry and Meaux closing in on the capital. Allied bridgeheads form across the Seine as German pockets shrink. Southwest to the Swiss border at Annecy, American guards push 250 miles from southern France.

Australasian Council of Trade Unions and nine coal unions plan a conference next Friday in Sydney to discuss boosting production. Prime Minister Curtin urged government representation.
