WASHINGTON, July 19.-In the race for President, the horses won't start running until they hit the home stretch.
 In spite of the fact that the COP nominee, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, was holding almost daily press con- ferences in Albany, politicians here couldn't conceive that he would launch an aggressive, nation-wi speaking tour such as Wendell L. Willkie conducted four years ago.
 The reasons are:
 l. The results of the November election will depend much on the course of events in the war and at home between now and then. It would be political folly for Dewey to climb out on any limbs that might be sawed off by the rapidly chang ing fortunes of war.
 2. Dewey's primary objective is to cement the Republican Party into a solid phalanx. He can't do this merely by tossing blockbusters at the opposition. In Chicago there was a period when the Dewey board of strategy was worried. The "con- servatives" in the party, it appeared, had delegate favor, if not delegate votes. Remembering 1S40, the de- cided that something had to be done. That something was to bring Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio into the Dewey camp as Vice Presidential nominee.

MOSCOW, July 20.-The German Army is showing signs of breaking on the hotly contested battle-ground west of the Nimeen River, before East Prussia.

INJURIES TO FUEHRER ARE
 NOT SERIOUS
Dynamite Blast Severely Injures High
 Generals

LONDON, July 20.--An attempt | has been made on Hitlers life, ac- cording to DNB, Nazi news agency, and Lieut.. Gen. Schumndt, Lieut.. Col. Brandt and other in Hitler's company were severely injured, the announcement from the Chancel- lors headquarters stated.
 Hitler was "only slightly burned" sustained some bruises, but was not otherwise hurt and continued his routine work, the announcement continued.
 The Fuehrer received Mussolini, deposed Italian dictator who now heads the trump Republican Fasict Government, in the course of his day, and Goering at once rushed to Hitler's quarters upon hearing of the attempt, the agency reported.
 Two More Hurt
 The broadcast said that others injured severely were Lieut.. Col. Borg and collaborator Beger.
 It was the second time during the war that Hitler has narrowly missed death. The first time was in November, 1899, when a bomb exploded in a Munich beer hall just after the Fuehrer left.
 Hitler's chief military advisor. Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl, was less seriously hurt, along. with five other generals and two admirals.
 The British radio said Hitler also suffered a brain concussion and said this explained the l4-hour break in overnight telephone com munications between Berlin and Stockholm
 The broadcast announcement did not give the scene of the attack, which obviously took place while Hitler was surrounded by high members of his military staff. This leads to the probability the scene of the attack was Hitler's headquarters.
 Bigger Game
 Gen. Schumndt, chief of the Army's personnel department, and chief military aide de camp to Hitler for several years, was ser iously injured"
 The Federal Communications mmission said one German broadcast said the attempt was. made by dynamite" Another broadcast mentioned explosives" and still another said merely that an attempt was made on the life of the Fuehrer today, Thursday"
 One source in London, close to European connectiones, said the in cident was probably in Breda, Hol- land, reported to be Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's headquarters.
 The incident followed only by few days the dismissal of Field Marshall von Rundstedt from the command of the western front in favor of Marshal von Kluge.
 The shift in command was in- terpreted abroad as a slap at the German military caste in favor of the Nazi type such as Rommel.
 Yesterday. another old line gen. eral-Col. Gen. von Faulkenhausen was eased from command of Bel gium and Northern France.

 The choice made by the Elm per0r of the General and Ad- miral to form the new Cabinet, indicates there will be no fun damental departure from the principle of military rule. Both men have been known as ag- gressive proponents for Jap ex- pansi0n.
 Designation of two men to form a Cabinet is unprecedented in Japanese history.
