German Fortress Of Grodno Captured by Reds
Fantastic Story Nazis
 Have Robot Capable of
 Being Shot 10 New York

STOCKHOLM, July IT. IT Stock holm's Tidningen publishes story, without giving the source of the information, saying robot bombs weighing as much as 10 tons and capable of being shot through the stratosphere as far as New York, have been concentrated in large numbers in western Jutland and Denmark.
 The newspaper says it is unable to confirm the report but this in formation is not grasped from the air
 Stockholm newspapers are fre- quently the outlet for propaganda stories of secret weapons the Ger mans have planned and it must be remembered they printed stories of robot rockets in the making and which are now being used on Eng land.
 The Tidningen's article says it has been informed the Nazis have as- sembled 10000 robots in western Jutland and the bombs are reported to weigh about 10 tons with speed up to TOO miles an hour and move in the stratosphere at an altitude of over 65,000 feet The speed of the new robot is beyond reach of anti- aircraft fire and fighter planes"
 One informant, with close connec- tions in Denmark, describes the re- port of the new robot bombs as fantastic"
 A competent military observer on the other hand said 1t is well estab- lished fact that the Germans are experimenting with new robots cap- lole of traversing much greater dis tances than those currently in use against England

RUSSIANS
 ADVANCING
 BIG FRONT
Nazis Now Have No Naf- uraI Boundary Between
 Them and Homeland

MOSCOW, July IT. - The Red Army today pushed forward on a broad front stretching from the Baltic to the Pripyat Marshes after capturing the German-held fortress city of Grodno, which Stalin de- scriped as covering the approach to East Prussia" The Germans claim Grodno was evacuated.
 Grodno is only 45 miles from the boundary and with it's fall the Ger mans have no natural boundary be- tween them and their homeland.
 The Germans fell back from Grodno to the west bank of the Niemen River.
 Today a most spectacular review took place. A column of 57,000 Ger mans captured during the present offensive were shepherded through Moscow on their way east to prison camps.

BYRNES SEEN
 AS POSSIBLE
 VICE pRExy
But Letter from President { IsSaid 10 Favor Henry
 ] A. Wallace

CHICAGO, July 17.-In rapidly tightening race for the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination. Jim my Byrnes, head of the Office of War Mobilization, pulled up in a challenging position to Henry Wal lace and Senator Alben Barkley as a dark horse in the contest, and he might win.
 Byrnes, as Roosevelt's personal agent, helped to bludgeon the l940 convention into nominating Wallace and apparently this year he's work ing behind the scenes in his own interests. Whether he has the "go ahead" signal from Roosevelt isn't known, but his camp made it clear that his name will go before the convention only if the strategists are convinced that he can obtain a majority of the votes.
 It is believed a letter written by Roosevelt to Senator Jackson of h. diana, permanent chairman, will crystalize the delegates sentiment on one person. Those who have seen the letter said it has very strong personal appeal in behalf of Wal iace. They said the President ex- pressed the view that if he were a delegate he would pick Wallace.
 Friends of Wallace are talking about urging the President to tele- phone strategic delegations and tell them he wants no change in the present lineup.

Reinforced Am eriedn Troops Resist Attacks

ADVANCED ALLI E D HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, July 17.-Plugging holes in the jungle choked front, reinforced American troops have cut off the advanced Japanese force that cracked the AL lied lines on the Drinimuor River, 20 miles east of Alitape.
 The Yankees repulsed two Japa- nese counterattacks on the river Friday night and again Saturday morning.
 Elements of the Japanese Eigh- teenth Imperial Army renewed at tempts to break the enciclement of the Allies but all attempts of the 45,000 trapped Japs were futile.
 The first heavy attack of the Japs took place last Wednesday morning when they crossed the Drinimuor River five miles inland from the mouth and pushed against one Yankee outpost. The Americans quickly rallied and with reinforce ments hurled them back, killing an estimated 344 Nippons.

First Contingent of WACS Are Landed af
 Battlefront in France
By BARBARA WAGE

WITH THE WACS IN NOR MANDY, SOME MILES FROM THE FRONT LINES, July 1.-The first WAC contingent reached the beach, head and walked quietly from the landing craft two days ago and settled under canvas on the grounds of an old chateau The girls ar rived less than six weeks after their CT brothers had fought their way into France
 The WACS have undergone months of training in the United States and the dangerous Atlantic crossing was then made.
 London robot bombs gave the girls taste of what it was like at the front.
 The various squad tents in the sleeping quarters bear such gay signs as Chateau De La Wac" Dew Drop Inn" and Waldorf Astoria" !" Laundry flutters on the tent ropes
 A rickety army chair that had been salvaged was used as a barber chair. A sign on the chair stated: Cuts all shapes; soup bowl special ,
 Sunday morning Protestant Chaplain held services for all de- nominations in his tent. The voices of the WACS and the soldiers, who were allowed to attend, rose above the distant sound of guns. In a small chapel a Catholic Chaplain held the first mass that had been held there in four years. WACS who were cleaning the chapel found grenades and bullets by the altar. A Frenchman, his eyes brimming with tears, attended the service. His daughter later joined the English speaking girls, singing in French.
 Why the boys still whistle at us we can't imagine"
 The boys do whistle: they are glad the girls are with them, although one New Guinea veteran said that he didn't fancy writing home to say that he had gone to France behind the WACS.

The ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON Dt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the ArmyO

CHICAGO Probably no delegate attending this quadrennial meeting of Democrats will take time to read them. but if they would brush the dust off the 1886 hearings of Hugo Blacks Senate lobby lnvestl- gating committee, their eyes might bulge a bit regarding the origin of the current Texas-Southern revolt against Roosevelt.
 These Senat te hearings snow pretty clearly that the recent con- yention led by Jesse Jones nephew had it's origin, not in Austin in 1944. but in the offices of Pierre du Pont, John Raskob, Alfred F. Sloan, Joe Pew and Will Clayton in 1886. q
 Actually, the Southern revolt be- gan with the famous grass roots" convention in Macon, Georgia, ln 1886, called by the Southern Com mittee to Uphold the Constitution and supposed to represent business men and farmers of the South. Secretly, however, it was financed by millionaire Republicans in New York and Wilmington, Del, plus a few wealthy lumbermen and cotton brokers in Texas.
 Lamar Fleming, head of the giant Texas cotton firm of Anderson, Clayton & Co.,, was one 1856 con- tributor. So, also, was his son. In 1944, Fleming was on the steering committee of the Texas conven- tion which rebelled against Roose- welt. Another contributor to the Macon grass roots convention was Will Clayton himself. Gle also gave S75O0 to the Liberty League or ganized by the du Ponts)
 After all these Texas contribu- tions were iii the bag, however there still was not enough money to stage the grass roots convention on an impressive scale. So Vance Muse of Houston, sparkplug of the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution, went to Wilmington and collected $1o,OOo from Pierre du Pont and John Raskob.
 With this, and various other other amounts received from Gen. eral Motors directors, they staged a Jew-baiting, Negro-baiting rally at Macon, featuring rabble-rousing speeches by Gerald L. K. Smith and Governor Gene Talmadge of Geor- gia, together with pictures placed on the chair of every delegate showing Mrs. Roosevelt entering
