It was a time of blood and of jubilation, of fierce joy and uneasy fear. For the armed might of Hitler's armies it was the first step toward down fall and defeat. And it was a red-letter day on a calendar of hope in Eu- rope. As years passed by, and the shattering clamor of war faded into memory, Deday kh cd slowly into the limbo of another time, another world. Today, no flags marked its anniversary in Paris. No pa- rades strutted by in tribute, It was as though man, living in the shadow of nuclear holo- caust, shied away from re- minders of death and destruc- tion, But they didn't forget today in the sun - washed Normandy countryside. There, where the hedgerows checkerboard the rolling land and where artillery thundered 19 years ago, tribute was paid to those who died. At Omaha Beach, where thousands of white crosses rise from the quiet greenery there were brief ceremonies, At the British cemetery a memorial service was held, and the Ca nadians paid tribute to their dead as well.

British Cabinet Hit By Scandal Profumo's disgrace was a po- litical bombshell for Macmilian and his Conservative party, who had believed the minister's de- nial in the House of Commons March 22 of persistent rumors that he had illicit relations with the 22 - year - old redheaded beauty. Miss Keeler appeared in. a London court Wednesday a few hours before Profumo's res.gna- tion was announced to give ev- idence against Negro jazz singer Aloysius (Lucky) Gordon. The case continues today. |NOW ON TRIAL | Gordon, 31, with whom She admitted intimacy, is on. trial accused of causing her bodily harm when he attacked her in a London apartment. He has pleaded not guilty. .. She said Gordon was black- jmailing her "to a certain ex- tent" about a friend. She denied she had been expecting a baby by him before a trip to Spain, The opposition Labor party is expected to call for an official investigation into the Profumo affair and to introduce a mo- tion to censure the government in the House of Commons. The 100-vote conservative ma- jority in Commons js certain to defeat a censure motion and keep Macmillan in office. But observers believe the scandal rules out a general election this year, Macmillan must, schedule the election of a new house of-Com- mons by October, 1964, and re- cent public opinion polls have shown the Gonservatives trail- rd Labor. Observers felt the prime minister now will be even more inclined to delay the vot- ing in hopes the voters will come to a more tolerant view of the scandal in his party's inner circle.
