URGES FIGHT
ON HIMkLER,
Chief HITLER
Psychological Warfare Is
Started by Allies on
German Forces
(By Associated Press

A psychological warfare on the
part of the Allies is sought to fan
the revolt within the Reich, today
reported as most perplexed schism
between Hitler and the Army.
London and Moscow over their
radios are bombarding the German
Army forces everywhere, urging
them to support the Insurgent Ger
mans against Hitler and Himmler.
Berlin and Paris radios fought
back, saying the Army is loyal to
Hitler and the Reichland and will
fight to the bitter end.
The German broadcasts are be-
lifting the insurgency, saying a
few misguided Generals are now
dead, either executed or having
taken their own lives, and the re-
ports from foreign sources of a re-
volt in Germany are most erron-
eous."
Dissatisfied Generals are reported
resigning, or as Berlin says, "see-
ing the light of day and again
urging their forces to carry on"
Hitler, it is also said, is depending
on Himmler to crush ali Hitler

BY HAL BOYLE

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN
NORMANDY, July 22.-Six German
prisoners, five Austrians and Nazi
paratrooper, danced with happiness
when they learned of the attempt
made to kill Hitler. They only re-
get that it didn't succeed.
They were sitting in barn, north
of st. Lo, when told that the
Fuehrer almost lost his life in an
attempted assassination.
Their reactions startled the soldier
Interpreters, who half expected the
captives to express disbelief
Instead, they Immediately lost
their detection and jumped, shook
hands and slapped each other on the
back in joy, then began talking
rapidly.
"It's too bad they didn't get him."
said one, "but this will be the be-
ginning of the end of Hitler"
There will be more attempts"
said another young paratrooper who
looked like typical Nazi fanatic.
He seemed more pleased than the
Austrians, that Hitler almost met
his bloody end.
eve have been waiting many
months for the internal collapse OF
Germany. 1t will come soon now.
The morale is terrible because OF the
bombings, and the people are dis
contented at the severe new ration
ing imposed after we have been
fighting SO long.
I'VE know nothing at the front
lines of this attack on Hitler. wish
other German soldiers could be told.
ct is too bad I was captured.
1t will be over soon and my COM
rades will go back home, maybe in
a few weeks. Now, that I am a
prisoner, it will take much longer"
AS he talked, five Austrians began
to hum the "Blue Danube" waltz.
What surprised the American
ouestioner the most was the fact
that none of the prisoners doubted
that the least effort had been made
to destroy Hitler. All acted as If 1T
was something they had expected
for a long time.

WALLACE BY
BIG MARGIN
Missouri Senator Helps 10
Ease Disgrunfled
South Demos
BY DOUGLAS CORNELL
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondent

CHICAGO STADIUM, July H.
Harry S. Truman, 10 years ago an
obscure county Judge in Missouri,
smoothly and easily last night cap
tured the Democratic Vice Presi-
Dental nomination.
The 60-year-old Senator carved
out a quick second ballot victory
over Henry A. Wallace, who put up
a hard but short scrap for renom-
nation.
Tally clerks were swamped under
an avalanche of state switches, and
figured the vote at something like
LOO for Truman and 66 for Wal
lace, but no accurate count was
available.
Wallace Approves
In a downtown hotel, Wallace
voiced no regrets and said the
cause Of liberalism has been adj
vanced by the convention" and 'of
course he would support the party"
Wallace led the first ballot 429l4
to 319la. He told reporters today
that he was happy about Tru-
mans nomination and was sure it
would advance the cause of econ
omic liberalism He made it clear
he would go all the way for the
Roosevelt Truman ticket.
Truman's Acceptance
Truman, who may carry weight
in the campaign against Republi-
cans Thomas E. Dewey and John
Bricker in November, told the con-
vention Il expect to continue my
efforts to help shorten the war and
win the peace with our great Presi-
dent, Franklin D. Roosevelt"
The Democratic ticket has the
announced backing of the Political
Action Committee and the ag-
gressively pro-W Wallace arm of the
CLIO Chairman Sidney Hillman.
who promised complete and whole
hearted support
Meanwhile, disgruntled Dixieland
Democrats rallied the New Deal
and talked about a third party,
