Despite such precautions, two previous attempts had been made on his life. In May, 1943, several people were killed at Tarbes by bombs intended for him.

In March of this year he was wounded slightly. The third attempt succeeded today, and Henriot became the first of Vichy's five arch-collaborationists to die. Swarthy, political-t rickster Laval is their chief. Under him Marcel Deat is responsible for recruiting French slave labor for the Germans; Joseph Darnand for suppressing disorders, and Henriot, until his death, for defending and justifying the policy of the collaboration. The fifth man, Jacques Doriot, head of the Nazi-model French Popular Party, recently has been overshadowed by Darnand and was last reported on the Russian front.

Laval and Deat were wounded by an assassin at Versailles three years ago and another attempt since has been made against Deat.

General Demp- sey swung his left flank across the river between the villages of Les Villaines and Beren with surprising speed and pushed onto high ground near Maltot and Es-quay, three and two miles southwest of the river, respectively. Reports from the front last night said a "flood" of tanks, guns and infantry were moving across the bridges.

Nazi Annies Imperiled. A staff officer at field headquarters described this as just a sweeping job, w'ith no remaining opposition worthy of the name, but said the British in the southeastern sector of the French beachhead were battling against furious German opposition from the 21st, 12th SS, and Lehrpanzer Divisions These probably are not now at full strength, due to battle losses, but are described as excellent troops. Nevertheless, they are in "complete turmoil" west and southwest of Caen, he stated. Another panzer division, not officially identified, was 'also in action eluewhere on the I3ritlh front, snd it was nald at headquarters hat the present terrific battle might determine the fate of a large portion of the German Fifteenth and Seventeenth Armies. cm I I I 1 1 1 1 wuil ft af i ill cUXlA Mjl DOUBLE -MILLED FOR EXTRA" SMOOTHNESS SWIM SUITS A complete assortment of swimming outfits trunks for dad and brother, suits for mother and big and little sister are styled by Gantner, Jantzen and Catalina for 1944.

Finally rewarded by a post in the Vichy Government in January of this year, he adopted the propaganda line that Underground Patriots were the misguided victims of Anglo-American machinations. Last week he asserted that British officers in uniform were giving orders to the Underground behind the German lines. Laval, in a funeral oration delivered on the radio today at the hour of Henriot's usual broadcast, asserted that Henriot had "deprived the marquis of hundreds of misguided youth by the very force of his eloquence." One of Henriot's last broadcasts yesterday asserted that the United States would not recognize Gen. Charles de Gaulle's Provisional Government because it wished to establish American control over Europe at tKe ex-penne of the Brltiwh and keep a "good share" of French colonies to strengthen its hand "in the future economic struggle with Russia."
