 Meanwhile, the unions autonom- iSt group led by Ray Edmundson of Springfield, H. candidate for international president opposing Lewis. offered to withdraw if Lewis would grant autonomy to the 2i of Sl UNIV districts which have offi- cers appointed by the executive board.
 Edmundson offer was made after Lewis supporters broke up a meet ing of 400 delegates called by the autonomists to plan their conven- ton floor strategy. Edmundson nev- CT was able to call the meeting to order and finally recessed following fist fight between an autonomist and a Lewis supporter.
 Edmundson claimed that his in- surgent bloc has sufficient strength to force a roll call in the autonomy issue. The autonomy wing admitted, however, that Lewis had the ad. vantage because of his ability to bring the issue to the floor through a committee report at any time he chooses.

Yank SpeaFheAds | American spearheadS from the 7th Army were moving on Vesoul, 72 miles south of Nancy and g miles west of Belfort, to establish Q solid front with the Third Army, while French troops from the south took Pont De Roid, 10 miles below Bcl- fort,
 British Second Army forces ct the northern end of the Allied battle line and Lieutenant General George s, Patton's U, s, 3rd Army on the southern flank ground forward slow. ly toward the frontier in the face of stiff resistance,
 AS the gorund armies, now joined by the Allied Seventh Army from southern France, moved in for the final assault on Hitler's inner cita- del, the massed striking power of the Anglo American Air Forces raked the enemy's front and rear areas necessarily with bombs and guniire.
 Following up yesterdays Shatter. Ing attack that cost the Luftwaffe at least l75 planes, waves of medium and light bombers, fighters and lighter. r.bombers struck hard at the battle lines and the Nazis' forward communications, while Berlin re ported that American heavieS were smashing at other targets in vest ern and central Germany.
 First accounts Of the lst Army strike into Germany emphasized the relative "softness" of the opposition, in contrast to the bitter, fighting retreat staged by the NaZis on both Hanks, and suggested that Hodges might have uncovered a weak spot in the enemy's thinly-spread line,
 Sporadic Resistance
 The Germans failed to offer more than sporadic rear-guard resistance in the early hours of the invasion, but headquarters spokesmen cau- toned that ahead of the Americans lie the forests of Osburg, Heimer- skeil and Birkenfeld, which would provide strong defensive positions if the Nazis elect to stand and fight.
 The Americans threatened almost momentarily, however, to shake their armored spearheads loose on the great military highway running 55 miles northwest from Trier to Koblenz which Hitler's engineers built for the invasion of France.
 The official Allied communique gave only the sketchieSt details of the lst Army advances. but head quarters sources permitted the dis closure that they were operating east of Trier.
 Tn their race to beat the winter weather into Germany, the Allies were well ahead of schedule, at least in comparison to 1918. The in- vasion of the Reich on Sept. II was IS days earlier than the comparable opening of the Meusc-Argonne of- fensive on Sept. 26, 1918, which forced the Kaiser's armies to sur- render six weeks later.

(ConVlnusu trom Fake tl round last night when the state ex. ecutive committee tabled, g to 2l, Q proposal to amend the convention arrangements to include a commit- tee on presidential electors, They wanted such a committee to select two electors at large and caucuses of congressional districts to select 2i others.
 Anti Roosevelt forces first reject cd the compromise plan on the grounds that the present convention has no authority to substitute cleo. tors certified by the Democratic State Executive Committee.
 They offered to let the pro- Roose- welt Democrats list a separate set of g electors on the ballot under the heading Roosevelt" Truman Dem ocrats," and specified that the elec- tors should be those named by the Runp convention which bolted the regular convention last May.
 The Roosevelt forces, headed by Herman Jones, Jones, rejected of Commerce Jesse Jones, rejected this proposal because they said 1t would give the Republicans two chances to carry Texas and would continue strife within the party rather than end 1t.
