Wallace Backers Cal
Douglas Chief Rival
For Running Mate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Associate Justice William O.
Douglas Of the Supreme Court
was viewed by supporters of
Henry Wallace today as the Vice
Presidents chief rival for second
place on the 1914 Democratic
ticket.
They also are keeping an eye on
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
Speaker Rayburn. Senator Truman,
Democrat, OF Missouri, and War
Mobilization Director Byrnes.
Organized campaigns are not yet
In evidence for any of them. None
is likely pending an expected word
from President Roosevelt that he
wouldn't mind having Mr.. Wallace
for a running mate again but that
somebody else might do.
Washington heard reports that
the Chief Executive had a list of
several eligibles in case the Demo-
cratic National Convention, which
opens in Chicago next Wednesday
decides to shelve' Mr.. Wallace.
Figuring in some of the specula-
ton are John G. Winant, Ambas-
sador to England; former Senator
Sherman Minton of Indiana, Sena-
tor Lucas. Democrat. of Illinois. and
Gov. Robert Kerr of Oklahoma.
The Wallace camp has an idea
that definite, if not open, drive is
in progress for Justice Douglas and
| that efforts will be made to recruit
strength from followers of Senators
Barkley and Truman and others. 1t
has heard rumors that back of Jus
tice Douglas are Secretary of the
Interior 1ckes. Joseph P. Kennedy
former Ambassador to England, and
Thomas Corcoran, former Roosevelt
brain truster."
Private checks show, however
that the Vice President probab bly
will receive his heaviest support for
denomination in the West and
Northwest. where Justice Douglas
who is from the State of Washing
ton, would be expected to have his
greatest strength.
Senator Chavez. Democrat. of New
Mexico announced yesterday he
favorS Mr.. Wallace's denomination
declaring: If the President is en-
titled to denomination, then com
mon, ordinary American decency
and fair play demand that Vice
President Wallace be renominated
This would be only his second
term"
HullaballOO Held Unwarranted.
Some Senate Democrats are yoic-
ing an opinion that the hullaballoo
over the vice presidential selecting
isn't warranted. Many agree with
Senator Tunnel, Democrat, of
Delaware, who said:
Campaigns aren't fought for vice
presidential candidates. l have
doubts they carry many votes. I'll
bet Mr.. Roosevelt didn't carry many
when he ran for Vice President in
192O.'
Mr.. Wallace's intimates note that
Evening star., 1944-07-13

political associate of the majority
leader. declared Senator Barkley' s
name would remain in nomination
until a vice presidential candidate
had been selected. He said this
plan had the Senator's approval.
Senator Barkley, who is at his
nome here writing the speech by
which he will nominate President
Roosevelt for a fourth term. did not
comment on Mr.. Wards published
statements.
The Kentucky State Democratic
Convention recently instructed its
delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton to cast its "a votes for Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to support Sem
ator Barkley for the vice presidency
if the Senator permits his name to
be placed in nomination.

5th Army, F|anking
leghorn, Captures
Town Of Lajatico
BY the Associated Press.

ROME. July 13. - American
troops of the 5th Army, breaking
through German defenses in the
upper Era Valley, some II miles
inland from Italy's west coast,
in a f1anking move against Lii
vorno Leghorn) have captured
the town of Lajatico in the bit
terest fighting Italy has seen in
recent weeks, Allied headquarters
announced today.
The Doughbovs quickly mopped
up all enemy soldiers remaining in
the town yesterday, taking $50 to
200 prisoners. and surged on north
ward By noon they had closed to
a point only II miles from the
Arno River Valley, key to the outer
strongpoints of the German Gothic
Line" deienses-supposedly the last
strong natural barrier left to the
enemy short of the Pc River Line in
Northern Italy.
simultaneously French troops on
the right of the Americans carved
a path through German defense
points and captured San Bonato,
astride a secondary highway in a
mountainous area 25 miles south
west of Florence.
Still farther to the east other
French forces repulsed enemy coun-
terattacks against Hill 2l8, two
miles southwest of Poggibonsi and
38 miles inland from the west coast.
Clinging doggedly to their positions,
the French inflicted heavy losses on
the enemy and remained poised as
menace to Poggibonsi, key juno
ton controlling roads toward Flor
ence and the Arno Valley.
The only major change on the
9th Army front came in the upper
Tiber Valley. There Allied troops
gained as much as four miles, halv-
ing the distance to the road junction
of Citta di Castillo. East of the
Tiber the enemy withdrew from
two strong hill positions.
Around Arezzo, a focal point of
major fighting on the 9th Army
front for the last week, lull set
tied down, but there were numer-
Gus brisk patrol clashes.
An official at headquarters said
the enemy had massed more than
10 big guns around Arezzo.
The day brought no fresh news
of the American elements which
have taken Castiglioncello and pro-
gressed up the west coast to within
miles of Livorno. Further progress
on the coast appeared to depend
largely on gains further inland,
where it is necessary to- root the
enemy out of high ground COM
mandflg the coastal plain.
The Nazis. fighting desperately to
hold I'll high ground commanding
the west coast. counter ttacked un-
successfully yesterday on two occa-
sions in the area northeast of Cas-
telnuova. 3 miles inland and miles
southeast of Livorno.

bonomi Government
iWiII Establish Itself
In Rome Saturday
BY EDWARD KENNEDY.

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ROME, July 13.-Prerlier Ivanoe
Bonomis government will establish,
itself Saturday in Rome still be-
set by chaotic conditions after six
weeks Of Allied occupation.
Although the capitals food sup
ply problems are far from solved,
the food situation is better for the
masses than in the final days under
the Germans, but most public serv-
ices are worse now than when the
Germans were here. The main cause
of this is the damage done to in
stallations by the Germans.
Shortage Of electric power is one
of Rome's greatest tribulations.
Power came almost entirely from
hydro-electric establishments to the
north, and many of these installa-
tions were wrecked by the Germans.
Two steam plants are generating
electricity with coal shipped from
Naples. but they are capable of
turning out less than one fourth of
the city's needs.
Trolley lines are operating, but
Rome relied mainly on buses for
local transport and most of these
were carried off by the Germans.
Houses in the higher parts of the
city are without adequate water be-
cause Of insufficient power to oper-
ate pumps.
The bread ration now is two
thirds of pound daily, three times
what it was under the Germans, and
the quality of bread is the best
Rome has had in years. The bread
Is available on ration cards at a
very low fixed price.
Black marketing is not as extern
sive as it was just before the Allied
entry, but there still is plenty of it.
At many restaurants one can get a
good meal for SO to $40, and many
Allied soldiers pay the prices.
Prices of goods sold to Allied SOL
diers have trebled in many cases
since the 5th Army came into the
city.
With the Germans and Fascists
rapidly printing paper money in the
tiOi VI anu liiC hillCS loCOSIllZlllS
such money as valid currency, a big
imitation is under way. There ap-
pears little hope of checking it i'm
mediately.
The Allies themselves have issued
a vast amount of occupation money
which is an obligation against the
Italian treasury. The Italians gen.
orally have little confidence in any
of the money now circulating.
Rome has serious unemploy-
ment problem. The number of job
less is guessed at about 100000,
mostly white-collar workers. There
has been little reduction in the cap
itals swollen population.
Rome today is city Of contrasts
An extremely dreary place in some
regards; in other respects gayer
than in many years. Dancing,
which the Fascists banned for the
duration of the war, has started
again in some hotels and clubs. 1t
Is more of playground for off-duty
officers and soldiers than any place
In the Mediterranean theater since
Cairo.
The opera and theaters are run
nihg, and movie houses are doing a
big business. And the Italians are
seeing their first new American
films since before the war

With attendance good and in
terest running high in wide
variety of childrens games, city
Fairgrounds supervisors this
week turned the attention OF
their young charges TO a more
serious aspect of summertime
the necessity for continuing pur-
chases of war bonds and stamps
for which children of local
schools have set a notable rec
ord.
The more than 1000 children
so far registered at SIX city
Fairgrounds were being asked
today 10 reserve their usual
war stamp contribution this
weekend, and turn it over to
the Fairgrounds supervisors on
Monday, when stamps will be
distributed. Supervisors Will
keep a complete record of all
stamps (and possibly bond) con-
tributions, and rivalry is eX
pected to develop between the
various grounds.
Recreation Director Bernard
Ballantine, in urging a gener-
Gus war stamp sale in this the
first year of summertime stamp
sales, has promised awards for
the best playground stamp sale
total, and the topmost individ-
ual purchasers of all grounds.
Although softball games be-
tween champion teams OF
various grounds have already
grabbed the spotlight Of child
hood interest, unusually high
enthusiasm this year has attend
ed the paddle tennis and horse
shoe games, with many champ
ions being developed in the lat
tetr field.
Considerable interest this
extend is centered on chooS-
ing Fairgrounds champs in jack
stones and jack-knife contests,
who will vie for the city champ
ionship at Grant School prompt
ly at 10 a. m, Monday. A boy
and girl from each playground
will compete, and the winners
will receive awards
Games of croquet, sandbox de-
signing, Newcomb and elemen-
tary studies in handcraft are
other attractions at the grounds,
and each has its devotees. Hob
bies will be exhibited shortly.
