 Brief Time, French Area

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE ST. 10 SECTOR, July 13.- Private First Class G. c. Smith Of Philadelphia, Pa, was a one-man army for a brief period and didn't know it until his battle" was over and won.
 Smith was leading a scout rifle squad in an attack. He wormed forward 150 yards at H-hour and saw an enemy soldier near a hedge row The enemy soldier ran and Smith followed and came upon a machine gun nest.
 Smith shot the gunner and also fired at the assistant gunner, miss ing him, then wondered why no American comrades were near. He suddenly realized he was alone in an enemy outpost area.
 Smith quickly crawled back to his own line and demanded why the rest of the squad hadn't joined in the attack.
 Ut hasn't started yet, you must have got your signals mixed" he was told.

WASHINGTON. July 13. - Sup porters of Henry Wallace have named Supreme Court Justice Douglas as the Vice Presidents chief rival for second place on the l944 Democratic ticket.
 They are also keeping an eye on Senate majority leader Alben Bark ley, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, Senator Truman, and War Mobilization Director James Byrnes.
 The Wallace camp has an idea that a definite, If not open drive is in progress to place Douglas name on the ballot and to recruit strength from the followers of Barkley, Truman and others.
 Other possibilities include Secre- tary of the Interior Ickes, Am bassador to England sKennedy, and Thomas Corcoran. former Roosevelt braintruster.

LONDON. July 13-Munich was hit hard blows on a third consecutive day by 1000 Fortresses and Liber- ators while the Fifteenth Air Force in Italy again stabbed at the Nazi oil and rail facilities in northern Italy.
 Saarbrucken, in western Germany, was also hit by the heaVies from England.
 Up to 800 Fortresses and Liber- ators smashed at the Margin era Trieste oil storage tanks and at four rail yards on the Milan Venice line and at the Pizano rail bridge over the Tagliamento River, 80 miles northwest of Trieste, Rome dis patches said.
 Rail yards were hit in Brescia, Verona, Mestre and Mantau in the Munich area, which now has re- ceived about 5000 tons of American bombs within the last three days, making it probably one of the most intensively bombed regions on earth.
 A large fleet of 1900 Royal Air Force heavy and medium bombers struck without loss of single plane before dawn at two of the most important rail centers in central France.

ADVA c E D ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW UINEA, July 13.-Over 45,00O bypassed Jap anese have launched a desperate attempt to break out of the Brit ish New Guinea pocket, in which they have been entrapped since April l, headquarters announced today
 Japanese remnants at WeWak opened a skirmish against Ameri- can veterans of the Buna- -Saidor campaigns on Monday, along the river, 21 miles east of American occupied Aitape.
 The first attacks were repulsed but enemy assaults were resumed Tuesday. Americans dug in deep ly to meet the attackers, who were described as a heavy" fcroe, a headquarters spokesman said
 Asked why the Japs are launch ing the attack, the spokesman said They lose if they sit because they will starve to death.'
 He reported that the Japs are either trying to break into Dutch New Guinea, on the northwest coast near Mackwari, or to some point between American beachheads on Hollandia or Aitape, 100 miles apart.

NEW PURGE IS STARTED
 BY NIpp0NS
All Religious Workers in Philippines Placed in
 Prison Camps
By RAY GROWN Former Chief of the Associated Press Bureau in Manila


 SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Sen- sational charges, topped by espion- age, have been lodged by the Jap anese Army of Occupation against American religious workers in the Philippines, according to a Nippon- controlled broadcast from Manila.
 All United Nations missionaries and other religious workers in the islands have been rounded up dur ing the week and thrown into ci- vilian prison camps. The Japanese said that Catholics and Protestant have abused their tenn porary freedom movement and were engaging in espionage, subversive activities and propaganda which endangered the safety of the Army of Occupation.
 After the Japs had taken Manila, about 500 missionaries and religious workers were allowed to live on their own religious compounds out side of civilian prisons. Most of them were Americans.
 This latest action by the Japs may cause widespread resentment among the Filipinos, who have all ways demonstrated great respect for religious leaders, especially Am erican

One of Gravest Broad(dsfs Ever 10 Come from
 Berlin Heard

LONDON, July 13.-One of the gravest broadcasts ever to come out of Nazi Germany declared tonight that terror grips the hearts of many of our people" and Ger many's fight means life or death.
 The broadcast, which was heard by the London Evening News, warned that before peril can reach the heart of our beloved country we must turn this continent into a malestrom of destruction where only one cry can be heard, the cry of blood. All now is at stake. The ssian flood is surging against our Eastern frontier and threatens to spill over our holy German land No wonder terror grips the hearts of many of our people. The holy war must now become really total war. Every one capable of drawing breath for forging or using a weapon must now be in it to the very last man. "

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ot Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON - The boys who complained about the Republican convention being dull won't have to make the same complaint about the coming Democratic gathering of the clan.
 The President has now taken Henry Wallace at his word and Is going to turn one thousand rip roaring, hitherto check-reined dele- gates loose to select their own Vice President. Wallace told him before going to China that he didn't want his own political liability to stand in the way of the reelection of Roosevelt himself.
 Furthermore, the President isn't going to be any place around, prob ably not within telephoning dis tance. He may be so far away that he won't be able to dictate to the convention even if the boys re- lent at the last moment and beg him to.
 So it may take days to nominate a candidate for Vice President. Every favorite son from all over the U. s. A. will have his hat tossed in the ring by his state delegation. There will be at least a dozen.
 Here are some of those who will be on tap when the starting gun is fired: Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas, so far in the lead, with the Southern big-wigs backing him hard; Ambassador John Winant, former COP Governor of New Hampshire; Supreme Court Justice Douglas, who is not an enthusias- tic candidate, but who stands strong with the President; Jesse Jones, Senator Barkley, Governor Broughton of North Carolina, Sen- ator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, ex- Justice Jimmy Byrnes of South Carolina, Senator Scott Lucas of H. linois, Senator Jackson of Indiana the conventions permanent chair man; and Governor Prentice Cooper of Tennessee.
 A good hot time is going to be had by all. It may be so hot that they'll wish they had Wallace as a compromise.

Red Army Advancing Closing in on Two Ger

MOSCOW, July 13. = Russian troops drove today to point within 30 miles of East Prussia and made a 19-mile advance in the Suwakli area in western White Russia.
 Suygakli is but Il miles of East Prussia, a city of Old Poland on the wedge between East Prussia and Lithuania and lies 50 miles south west of Kaunas, 90 miles from the PrusSian Baltic Coast.
 The Russian drive on the Baltic might trap two German armies.
 An NEG broadcast from Sweden says the Russians are within 12 miles of East Prussia after driving 30 miles beyond Grodno, also an old Polish city. Such proximity would mean the battle echoes could be heard in Germany itself.

Issue Over Electoral
 College Is Cause of
 Rumpus, Demo Ranks
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 13-Proof that Washington isn't taking light ly the threat of the Roosevelt factions in Texas and other South ern States to bolt the party in the electoral college is evident.
 Rep. Emanuel Celler, Brooklyn Democrat and No. man on the House Judiciary Committee already has offered bill to amend the con- stitution to abolish what he calls the outworn, useless cumbersome electoral college"
 The electoral college has func- tioned so smoothly in our lifetime that few voters realize it exists at all. The indirect method of nam ing electors, apportioned according to population, stated far back in the days when communication and travel took weeks and even months.
 What the Texas faction and groups in Mississippi, South Caro- lima, Louisiana and elsewhere threatened was to name 'unin- structed" electors who would be in structed by the party conventions not to vote for President Roosevelt for fourth term or President Wallace for a second term, unless the party, in convention, met certain demands.
 Some of thees demands could be met by party platform silence on certain controversial issues, such as the poll tax. Others wuold require positive action, tossing overheard some of the policies of the admin istration.
 Many observers here consider the threats no more than bargaining material with which the Southern Democrats hope to get written into the platform and possibly in the naming of a Vice Presidential can didate some of the things they want when the Democratic convention meets next Wednesday.
 Others, like Rep. Celler, disregard the motives, but view with alarm" the fact that sectional party leaders could use those methods to control { the electoral college.
 The meaning of such threat, if carried out, is evident. If neither party nominee got majority of the electoral vote, the election of Presi- dent and President would be thrown into the House of Repre- sentatives, where, by our constitu-

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY FORCES, July 13.--The grinding of fensive of the American armored and infantry forces pushed today over the dead bodies of Germans to within one mile and half of St. Lo, the ancient fortress town mid way across the base of Cherbourg Peninsula,
 Bradley's forces drove on the city from two sides, northwest and from the east, similar to the drive down the peninsula.
 The offensive threatens to engulf Lessay, 21 miles northwest of St. Lo.
 Four towns in several square miles of territory have been overrun by the Americans who have made big territorial gains in the past several days.
 The American attack on St. Lo was preceded by heavy crash of artillery upon the German foxholes and hedgerow hiding places.
 Advance formations of tanks and infantry swept through La Boulaye, two and one-quarter miles east of St. Lo, then pushed three quarters of mile beyond southward across the St. Lo-Bayeux road, drawing up in a semi-circle about the town of 15,000 population.
 A Paris radio report said 32 diyi- sions are concentrated on l4-mile stretch between St. Lo and Cau- mont to the east of the Nazi line.
 Nazi correspondents report the Allied artillery barrage is the heav- lest yet encountered, according to the Paris radio broadcast.
 The British First Army is report ed to have regained the much fought for town of MaItot. four miles south east of Caen.
