Pictures Record Omaha Beach Scene In June, 1944 Thirteen years apn today, Allied armies hit this beach in Normandy, France. By nightfall, some 3000 Americans had been killed or wounded. Three days later, an Indiana sergeant, Dale Nuss, official photographer of the 318th Engineer Combat Battalion, climbed a hill overlooking Omaha Beach and took five pictures. Pasted together, they made the panorama shown above. In April, 194o, Nuss, too.

was killed in Central Germany when he was taking combat photos. The jeep in which he was riding hit an antitank mine and blew up. The commander of the 348th gave the picture and a few other personal items to Nuss' buddy, Harold R. Mayer, a master sergeant and the battalion sergeant major. Mayer, who now lives at 323 E.

Offshore are the support craft which battered the Nazi West-wall prior to the Invasion, Roads, laid down by the engineers In the face of what Mayer called "terrific" resistance, are in the foreground. Today Omaha Beach, remembered by thousands of Americans who fought in Europe, is a tourist resort area.

If 0 ft.

Except for tf nitch over a dealing with whether the ordinance requiied three readings, there was an absence of anything approaching a heated atmosphere. The Republican minority first intended to press for passage of its ordinance, setting an election for August 8, but, in the interest of "orderly pro-, cedure," decided instead to go along with the Charter-backed measure. Councilman Walton GOP minority chairman of the Law Committee, explained.

I a rU Jt' Move Expected As Maneuver At 1L0 Session GENEVA, June 5 i.Vi -Soviet Premier Nikoli Bulganin announced today the USSR "i icady to conclude an appiu-priate agreement on the whole problem of disarmament as well rs on its particular aspects, including an agreement on immediate cessation of nuclear weapons tests." The announcement was made in the form of personal message to the opening session of the International Labor Organization. Some such Soviet move had been expected. Among the items to he discussed by th session will be a Soviet resolution that the ILO one of the specialized agencies of tlir United States go on record demanding an end to all nuclear weapons tests.

But Bulganin'l message went beyond recent Soviet statements. Including those by Nik-ita Khrushchev, Party boss, in his U. S. televi-tion interview Sunday. Bulganin now places the Soviet Union on record as ready to negotiate an agreement, or an agreement on any one of the multiplicity of d.sarmamont problems before the UN L.s-armament Subcommittee in London.

Bulganin's message said: It is of paramount importance to the preservation and consolidation of peace that an end should be madt to the armaments race, and first and foremost to the competition among th. great powers in the production ol atomic and hydrogen weapons." "The Soviet Union has consistently and firmly advocated substantial reduction of armaments and armed forces, and prohibition of atomic and hydrogen weapons, and is ready to conclude an appropriate agreement Polite handelapping from the delegates greeted the message. But the Communist bloc delegations applauded vigorously. Conference delegates from 78 member states will exchange views on the expansion of automation and atomic energy in industry.

The present case involves Army Specialist William S. Girard, Ottawa, 111., accused of killing Mrs. Naka Sakai on an Army firing range last January 30. Pentagon records showed today that foreign courts have insisted on trying U. S.

servicemen charged with violation of civilian law in only one-third of the cases to arise. The Japanese government took jurisdiction in only 2li per cent of such cases in the 12 months ended June 30. 'Don't Too Much OMIYA, Japan, June 5 Trembling hands told the tumbled hopes of Sp. 3c William. S.

"If we ran do that," he said, "we will he glad enough, and ery quickly, to stop tests. But we do have the job of protecting the country we would he foolish Indeed to be behind anybody else." Eisenhower sail American tests in the past couple of years have been aimed at developing defensive weapons and to make bombs "cleaner" that is, to reduce the amount of fall-out.

Vogel Urges Increase In Rates For Borrowed Fire Equipment Charges for Fire Department sen ice to communities out.side the city should be quadrupled, Fire Chief Daniel Vogel told the C.n-rinnati Lions Club ester-flay at the Hotel Present charges for fur refusing to send fire p-paratus at the request of the mayor ol Golf Manor, he said, when the mayor would not say the fire was a "conflagration out of control." Under that condition the law requires aid to be sent when requested, he explained.

"The truth of this matter, in which I have been sharply criticized, simply was that Golf Manor tvo ears ago flatly refused to renew its contrret v. ith Cincinnati for fire protection and that the ailected industry refused to s.kh up for it." Chief Vo'el said. Communities which wish to contract for Cincinnati aid must agree to pay 2 mills annually on their tax duplicate and individuals must pay 4 per cent of their assessed valuation. Chief Vogel said. They tlso must agree to observe fire prevention tered the department, and conditions hae changed s.nce then," he said.

"I have thcre-jore recommended, to my s.i-pcriors that they be increase $300 an hour for each piece of apparatus, and $100 an hour additional for the supervising officer. "Cincinnati taxpayers h.v.e pay more than million dollars annually for fire pn-tection. The law says, and I myself believe, that Cincinrati should not provide free (ne protection to others. "We pay for fire service. If outsiders want it they should be willing to pay a fair rate." Chief Vogel said his recommendation is now bclore his auperiors.

Taft (C) ald hi Charter bloc was proposing that the Board of l.lrotions change the vote registration day from September 2.1 to September 23. that thr PR election could he held at the same time, saving SHo.OOO expense. In thr event this cannot be done, Taft mid, then the PR issue should be submitted on September 30.

The wording to go on the ballot by terms of the ordinance, is: "Do you want to chanse the Charter of the "City of Cincinnati so as to substitute for the present method of electing members of City Council, adopted in 1924, a method of election by a plurality vote among an unlimited number of candidates by adopting amended sections 5 and 10 of article 9 of the Charter of Cincinnati?" The hitch came when Mayor Taft attempted to have the ordinance passed without three readings, thus eliminating a need for a suspension of rules to give the readings all at once. He said he only -vas following the opinion by Common Pleas Court Judge Charles E. Weber, who issued the writ requiring Council to enact an ordinance in 60 to 120 days. Judge Weber had given Council until yesterday to act or risk being held in contempt. JUDGMENT QUESTIONED However, Councilman Donald Clancy, Republican floor leader, and Councilman William Cody Kelly (R.) quickly questioned Taft's judgment.

They urged that Council be on the safe side and avoid any possible confusion by reading the ordinance three times under suspension of the rules. "If this is surplusage then no harm has been done," Kelly said. Henry 31. Hnievtle, City Solicitor, was for a ruling. He explained that he always felt that this kind or ordinance did not require three readings, but that contrary to this slew Council four times la the past gave such measures three readings under suspension of the rules.

Because of that precedent, he felt It wise for this Council to do likewise. Councilman John J. Gilligan, Charter floor leader, said lie would go ilong reluctantly with suspension of rules, but that the "opinion by the Solicitor can only lead me to believe that we are covering up mistakes of the court." The vote for suspension of rules was 8-C. Councilman; Theodore if. Berry (C) battalion chief or other department officer, he said.
