miles of the big Italian west coast
port of Livorno .Geghorn) today
after a savage all-night battle in
which they hurled the Germans
out Of San Vincenzo, little coas-
tai town which had been convert
ed into a fortress.
The ferocity of the Nazi's resis-
lance to the Yank advance was
duplicated clear across the PENN
sula as the enemy chung stubborn
ly to every defensible position and
took the fullest advantage of rough
terrain. Fresh German infantry and
guns continued to join the battle,
and the fighting was the .fiercest
since the Gustav and Hitler lines
were cracked at the outset of the
Allied offensive.
Every civilian was cleared fro i
San Vincenzo before the Ameri-
cans attacked last night. and for
hours the fighting ragged from
house to house. Every street was
protected by barricades and wire
entanglements. It was regarded as
sample Of what the Allies may
expect in every Italian town now
between them and the Germans

flight of his forces, now obviously

nomination voted him with a
lone dissent and pledged his
countrymen "a lasting peace"
when Germany and Japan
have been taught by force to
say: "Never again."
Acclaimed by laundering thous-
ands who interrupted So times to
cheer his words, the. youthful New

administration he said had grown
old in office" and had become
tired and quarrelsome."
A white orchid cleaning brilliant.
y on her black dress, Ms. Dewey
shared the tumultuous reception
accorded her husband. While the
governor spoke, she sat on the
platform about 10 feet from him
and watched him intently.
When Dewey completed his ad--
dress and the applause had quit
led, Governor John w. Bricker Of
Ohio, unanimously named his run
ming mate, came forward and
|iclasped his hand. The two chatted
briefly in a hubble that drowned
their words for all others.
|, Dewey, his own face glistening
with perspi-ation, told the Re-
publican delegates that ''it seems
that the great men who founded
this nation really knew what they
were talking about when they said
that three terms were too many"
Predicts Vivtory
In an ultimate victory next No
vember, the governor voiced the
highest confidence. And, he said,
if the turn Of the political wheel
of fortune brings him to the presi-
dency, the military conduct Of the
war must remain completely out
Of politics.
As for winning the peace, Dewey
made it clear he stood firmly on
the Republican platform, which
advocated an international organi-
cation employing peace forces"

gression.

Building the structure Of peace,
the governor declared, "is no task

quarrelsome in Office
