Armour Recalled
 For Conference
 On Argentina

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28. The State Department today announced that the American ambassador, Norman Armour, has been recalled from Buenos Aires for consultation.
 The move is one which hits sharply at the miiitarist govern ment of Argentina.
 The United States and all but three of the American republics, refused to recognize the regime of General Edelmir Farrell, since it's establishment four months ago.
 Armour stayed in Buenos Aires presumably with the hope that Farrell would take moves to bring the country in line with the general policy of hemispheric defense.

ROME, June 28.-(AP)-San Vincenzo, only 32 miles below the great port of Livorno on the Ital- ian yves! coast, was Wrested from the Germans, after bitter house to house battles which lasted several hours last night and today.

 San Vincenzo had been con verted into a strong fortress by the Nazis, who evacuated all the civilians and then erected barri- cades and wire entanglements for front defenses.
 Farther inland American arm ored forces continued to roll back the stubborn enemy resistance and occupied the villages of Chius- dino and Travale, only F miles southwest of Siena, the key high way communication center, 31 miles below Florence.

 tank forces burst a two-mile gap in the German Odon river line today, and engaged the enemy in the greatest armored battle in fthe liberation cam paign. four miles southwest of Caen.
 The clash now blazing in open country may decide the fate of a large part of the German 18th and l7th armies.
 The enemy has grouped four armored divisions around Caen, thier eastern Normandy strong hold, 120 miles from Paris.
 Carving route down the southwest of Caen in an outflank- ing drive. Gen. Montgomery's s'tel first tore a breach six miles wide in the Nazi defenses, burst the peninsula road from Caen, poured over the Odon riv- CT and battled two miles deeper to point northeast of Esquay.
 This deep penetration sliced the road from Caen to Evercy and threatened the remaining German held highways feeding into Caen from the south and southeast,
 British armored units can move swiftly across the opening plains below Caen, and the Germans must block this thrust or face the threat of having large forces en- circled.
 The swift, stabbing armored drives are an old story to Mont gomery's desert veterans. One of Britain's most famous tank gen erals is directing the operations.
 Allied planes lowered over the tank battle and lashed at Nazi reserves. Twenty-Five tanks were knocked out in Tuesdays fight ing Today's battle is on a much larger scale.
 The Vichy radio declared that Montgomery is using 100000 troops in this all-out assault, in addition to two arrnCred divisions.
