Soaring in a sailplans is sus. tained flight without an engine. It is fascinating sport which was rapidly becoming popular before the war. Any thought that hilly country is necessary for soaring, may be dispelled as the American distance record of over 250 miles was made in the air over the plains of Texas and Kansas.
 Soaring is possible because winds blow up from the earth's surface as well as across it. It is these ver- tical wind currents which propel . sailplane. Warm air which develops on the earth's surface as . result of light reflection continually seeks higher level and the currents

More than 600 towns and villages were liher- ated, including Kamionka (Kam- enka) and Krasne, 2l miles north and 25 miles east of LWOY, one of lhe greatest communications hubs in Europe.
 The German command hurled 100 10 200 tanks at q time against the b0plets In desperate attempt 10 stem the onslaught, but Koney's army forced them into retreat with wllherlng blasts of fire from mobile artillery batteries and pounded on, completely pptuTing two enemy de- fense lines.

West Anchor Of Nazi
 Defenses Give Up

Rome, July l9. - (UPl - American troops captured the great Tyrrhenian port of LivOrnO today, cruFnpling the western anchor of the German GlefenSes across Italy in the biggest Allied victory of the Italian campaign since the fall of Rome.
 Livorno fell to the United States units of Lieutenant General Mark w. Clark's Fifth Army soon after Allied headquarters arl- nounced that Polish forces had captured Ancona, the Adriatic anchor of the Nazi defense line.
 The twin victories at either end of the Italian line unhinged the hard-pressed German defenses and cleared the way for a frontal one slaught against the Gothic line. bee fore which the Nazis were struggling to make their first stand after a precipitate flight from Rome.
 Virtually all the port facilities of Lyorno. pre-war city of 100000, had been destroyed by the Germans tos prevent their use by the Allies as ai gateway of supplies and reinforce- ments.
 The city's many big bridges. the only contact with the mainland. also were wrecked by the Nazis in an ex- treme application of the scorched earth policy.
 Liyorno fell to American forces who had swung around it in a gide flanking maneuver and closed in from the east while other units we're smashing through the formidable German Qualifications guarding its southern approaches.
 Front dispatches preceding the announcement that Liyorno had fal~ len said the Germans were lighting a rear guard covering action before | it, and were expected to yield the city at any time to avoid the threat of entrapment by the U. S. spear~ head probing up the Arno Valley toward Pisa.
 Liyorno, the great Tyrrhenian port, was reported in ruins. more tho bughly smashed than any town vet attacked by the Allied Fifth arey. The American forces already hIi by-passed it in rush np the ffno Valley within plain sight or g leaning tower of Pisa.
 Aneona fell yesterday afternoon to Polish units of the Eighth army as the continuation of their 75-mlle advance in the last few weeks. The Germans had concentrated two divi- siOns to defend the anchor base With a peaceiime population of 9S'0O0. Ine

 These big city bosses are working frantically behind the scenes to untangle the vice presidential scramble. They are not actually dominating the cOnvention--yet- but their influence is great. They may be the men who will decide who Is to be the vice presidential nominee if 1t appears that Henry A. Wallace has definitely lost his chance for the necessary majority.
 Some vice presidential hopefuls not all of them-have been re- ceived by the quartet. A number of them fayorite son candidates are being ignored.
 One of the candidates most prom inently mentioned in the vice pres- idential sweepstakes was almost distraught his first day here when not one of the big four" called on him. His managers felt convinced that this meant that their candi- date was ''Out." But the next day, two of the bosses invited him over to their rooms and the candidates hopes were revived.
 The ''big four" were said to be in touch with the White House. For the present they are not doing any ''dictating." They discuss with various candidates their chances and convey to them the latest dope"
 And. of course. they keep in cons stant touch with leaders of the key
