NOOLlLUluGQ 1IOLu FdRS U that Dewey would accept the COP presidential candidacy If nominated. Sprague, however, refused to com init himself.
 I think he will accept" Jaeckle, who long has campaigned for Dewey, said.
 am firmly of the opinion that he would accept" Brownell said. what else can a good American do?"
 Sprague, Brownell and Jaeckle, it was learned, conferred with Dewey yesterday afternoon but Jaeckle, who has been reported in line to manage Dewey's campaign if he gets the nomination, refused to say who would place the governors name be- fore the convention.
 Significantly, the Isolationist Chi cago Tribune today gave page one prominence to a dispatch from its Washington Bureau reporting that Republican leaders favoring Dewey hope to put him over on the first ballot
 Significant
 Likewise significant was Moore's statement in a press conference here that he was confident Bricker with Dewey's support, could carry New York State in the November election, but that he did not believe the Republican ticket in Ohio would be safe if Dewey were nominated That sounded like a warning to the Dewey boomers that 8 middle vest erner must head the ticket if the part is to thrive in this part of the country.

It had been reported previously that Patton came to Britain sometime after the face skipping incident.
 Beside the tn Army units, three other American divisions have been listed officially as fighting in France the Fourth and 29th Infantry divisions and the 10lst Airborne div ision.
 The three divisions from Patton's former army took part in some of the heaviest fighting in Africa and across the Mediterranean, including the battles at Fl Guettar and the mountain engagements which helped open the way to Mateur and Bizerte.

 "A Finnish communique reported particularly fierce fighting" in numerous sectors of the Karelian front, including Summa. anchor of the Mannerheim Line IT miles north east of Koivisto on the Leningrad- Viipuri highway
 The Russian advanced upwards of 30 miles in 48 hours in several areas of the Karelian iSthmus where the forests come down to the lake shores and the terrain is dotted with big granite boulders behind which Finnish tommy gunners tried to halt the Soviet push.
 The Films were abandoning equip anent everywhere in their precipitate retreat, front dispatches said. As- saulting the Mannerheim Line, the Russians stormed across a great anti-tank ditch stretching from the Finnish Gulf to Lake Ladoga and charged the first line trenches which the Films abandoned in dis order.
 The break through ripped open the last of the Films three defense lines before Viipuri and left the city apparently helpless to resist the approaching Russian assault, koi- visto was captured by storm yester- day, whereas it resisted for eight days in the 1939-l940 war.
 Russian troops probably already were attacking Summa, another in the Mannerheim line IT miles northeast of Koivisto and on the main Leningrad-Viipuri highway The capture of Summa in l940 was followed quickly by Soviet smash into Viipuri.
 MGEe than 100 towns and villages were swept up in yesterdays ad- vances of up to 15 miles all along a 1Oo-mile front from the Gulf of Finland in the west to Lake Ladoga in the east. The gains extended the Soviet advances in the 10-day old offensive to 55 miles and placed the Red Army 68 miles northwest Of Leningrad.
 Hurried Retreat
 Front dispatches said the Films were retreating so hurriedly they had no time to carry out any con- siderable demolitions. On one coastal sector. railway and high way viaduct was found intact through only a few minutes work would have been required to blow up the span and block the advancing Russians for some time.
 More prisoners were being cap- tured than in the 1939-l940 war M. s. Handler, United Press War correspondent, reported from the isthumus following visit behind the front coincidentally with Eric Johnston, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 Conducting officers told Johnston, Handler and other war correspond ents that the Films were not yet demoraliSed, but noted that their quality had declined since the earlier campaigns A marked deterioration in their personal equipment and clothing also had been observed, he said.
 The Soviet high command report ed in its midnight communique that the Films were suffering enormous losses in men and material. One Soviet unit alone was credited with killing nearly 2,0O0 Films and cap- turing railroad train loaded with military equipment.
 Striking out ahead of the advanc- ing Red Army, the communique said. Red Air Force planes made two mass raids on Viipuri. Three loco- motives and up to 200 railway cars were wrecked, six supply dumps blown up and railway line destroyed Nineteen enemy planes were shot down in combat.
