Dewey Again Voices Views On Peace PIan
By KIRTLAND I. KING United Press Staff COrrespOndeI


 Albany, N. r., July 12.-(UP)- Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee, favors a post war international organization em- powered to maintain peace and se- curity "by force if necessary" it was disclosed today.
 Dewey made his views on foreign policy known as conference yes- terday with congressional represen- tatives from Connecticut, including Rep. Clare Boothe Luce.
 Mrs. Luce obtained Dewey's views while discussing International pol icy. She said she was amazed at the knowledge Dewey had of cur rent affairs and with the rapidity with which he grasped the inter- national situation.
 The governor, she said, believes that America Twill. must and wants to join an international organiza- tion which, in collaboration with other nations. will keep the peace, Il now quote his own wordS-'By force if necessary"
 A reporter asked the Connecticut congresswoman what such an in- ternational organization would be called, and she replied:
 Gall it league of nations if you like with the big nations having the most power because they will be called upon to contribute most"
 Dewey did not discuss President Roosevelt's announced intention of accepting the Democratic nomina- ton for a fourth time, but Mrs. Luce commented:
 President Roosevelt may be the indispensable man of the Democra- tic party, but it looks to me as though MT. Dewey is the inevitable mar for the U. s. A."

 Washington, July i2.-(UP)-- Civilians probably will continue to get plenty of cigarettes-but they will have increasing difficuIty in obtaining popular brands, authort- tatiye government sources asserted today.
 With the armed forces holding a priority, 1t was anticipated that the civilian cigarette supply may become comparable to the cigar sit- uation. Civilians always can get a certain number of cigars, but often fail to find their old fayoFites on the counter.
 The cigarette industry's voluntary Eationing system inaugurated last fall first affected Canels and Philip Morris but recently has been ex. tended on a somewhat less drastic scale to Old Colds, Lucky Strikes and Chesterflelds.

 Rome, July 12. - (UP) -. American light armored forces have advanced two miles along the west coast of Italy to capture Castiglion- cello, 10 miles below Livorno, and break the long stalemate delaying the frontal push against the big port, Allied headquarters reported today.
 After toppling the German strong point of Castiglioncello on the coastal highway, the United States Armor drove on against bitter re- sistance to within some nine miles or less of Livorno and prepared to storm the approaches to that last great outpost below Pisa, the vest ern anchor of the Gothic Line a dozen miles beyond.
 The Germans hurled a series of counter-attacks along the Fifth and Eighth Army fronts in an effort to stall off the drives into the outer crust of their Gothic Line defenses. But they were beaten off at all points, and the Allies battled for ward a few miles in 8 number of sectors.
 Further limited advances have been made by the Allied armies in Italy in many sectors of the front against the same fierce resistance by the enemy" the daily communi- que reported.
 The most impressive gain was that by the Americans on the west coast, where they had been begged down for week by the formidable Ger man Notifications across the main highway to Livorno.
 Nine miles inland, other American forces moving beyond captured Ca- sale toward Pastina, two miles to the north along a good secondary road, ran into bitter resistance.
 The Americans also were storming Lajatico, eight mixes northwest of Volterra, which they had by-passed day earlier in 8 push toward Li- vorno from the southeast. The Ger mans counter-attacked strongly northeast of Lajatico but were turned back for no gain.
 Nazi forces also undertook a ser- les of counter thrusts in the French sector of the Fifth army front. One northwest of Cole Di Val D'Elsa was especially strong, but the French held fast at all points.
 The Germans wer fighting fierce ly in an attempt to stem the French advance toward Poggibon strong

 Supreme Headquarters, AEF, July F. = (UP) - American troops and tanks resumed their march on St. To against stiff enemy re- sistance today and were re- ported making "good prog ress" toward the 11th cen- tury hilltop citadel controll- ing the invasion roads to the heart of Normandy.
 While shock troops struck out from newly-captured positions only two miles northeast of St. Lo, other forces began battle of annihilation against the encircled German gar- rison of 250 to 300 in La Meauffe, five miles north of St. Lo and mile and half behind the American line.
 James McGlincy, United Press war correspondent, reported from the front that the Germans were dug in in three pockets and were waging a desperate but hopeless fight from stone houses, including chateau, which they had converted into small forts.
 The Amerlrans brought up a sound truck with public address system and appealed to the enemy units to surrender, but the aIl- nouncer's voice could not be heard over the din of battle and the | Americans now were attempting to shell them out, McGlincy said.
 The main attack on St. To was being mounted along the Bayeux-St Lo highway under cover of an artil- lery barrage from a razorback height, dominating the St. Lo area captured in the first stages of the American assault yesterday.
 At the eastern end of the front, the Germans broke of their coun- ter-attacks around Caen after driv- ing the British and Canadians out of Louvigny, two miles southwest of the inland port. another front dis patch said.
 Lieutenant General Miles c. Dempseys British Second Army, however. retained its hold on high ground overlooking the Orne river near its confluence with the Odon below Caen and gained further ground both in the Colombelles sub- urb east of Caen and the Hottot area south of Tilly-sur-Seulles.
 The American and British thrusts toward St. To and the Orne river line yesterday touched of the fierc- est armored battles since D-day and Allied planes alone knocked out

NoCoIor Line
NO COLOR LINE
By Ruth Taylor

The New York Herald Tribune re-
Gently had fine editorial on heroism
citing as its examples Charles W. Da-
vid. Jr. and Dave Miller. But what |
impressed me particularly wa the
caption-"No Color Line For Heroes"
! don't have to tell you of the great
record the Negroes have made in this
war. Your own casualty lists, your
own headlines in your own papers
have stated the facts in way more
inspiring and effective than anything
/ could write.
But l do want to go on with the
theme along other lines. To quote
, Mr.. Justice Holmes-'For high and
dangerous action teaches US to believe
as right, beyond disputes, things for
which our doubling minds are slow to
find words of proof. An Act of He
roism grows faith in the worth of
heroism."
Intelligence is not God-given gift
to any one group, any more than 1T is
denied to any group. There is no
color line for heroes-and this does
not mean merely the heroes of the
battle front, great though their ac-
tions are. 1t means all of those who
do their best, who face this life with
courage, who try to help their fellow
men, and to make the world better
for their having lived therein.
There is no color line for heroes
there is no line a man may not cross
if he is big enough. And each men,
Der of a minority group who lifts
himself above the barrier, lowers that
barrier for the worth while man who
follows.
Carver, Marian Anderson - oh,
could name dozens who have done il
throughout the years! There is ne
color line for heroes. There is NJ
color line for the really great-anc
the more OF them we have, the more
rapidly will the line disappear. Thai
is constructive action - q crusade
worth entering. No "anti" campaign
here-but real work to do-real deed
Of heroism to perform.
This is the challenge in the editor
ial. Yes, it was meant as a tribute
but more surely it is as a challeng
that it should be taken.
