BULLETIN-LONDON, Aug.
17.-Russian troops are tonight
within three miles of the East
Prussian frontier, attacking on
both sides of the town of Vir-
bales, a German communique

MOSCOW, Aug 1.-THE Russians
have been smashed back with hun
dreds of field guns at the narrow
wedge and driven by Nazi tanks and
infantry from Ossow, seven miles
northeast of Warsaw, in the first
Soviet setback since the start of the
summer offensive. The Red Star
said that the Nazis are again under
severe pressure after losing So tanks
and suffering several thousand cas-
ualties in the two-day counterattack.
From the Praga district, just OPP
posite Warsaw on the Vistula Rivers
east bank, at least one Elite Guard
Division is reported to be put out OF
action. This and other Red Army
successes elsewhere balanced the
withdrawal from Ossow.
Soviet forces, from west of the
Vistula and south of Warsaw, smash
ed into the city of Sandominerz, in
a battle which extends to the bridge
head and threatens to outflank
Warsaw and inperil Nazi defenses
in German Silesia.
This development was viewed by
some Moscow quarters as more sig
nificant than the news about giving
ground northeast of Warsaw.

WASHINGTON Dewey isn't

that Dewey might stub his toe; Of

meet with the 25 other Republican
Governors all at once, some of his
BRAIN trusters threw their hands in
the air, begged, pleaded with him
not to do so. However, Dewey and
sharp thinking, smooth operating
Herbert Brownell, his campaign
manager, were determined, pointed
out that the COP Governors had
to be reached at the start of the
campaign if the national organiza-
ton was to work efficiently.
Most anxious moment came in a
st. Louis hotel suite when national
photo agencies asked Dewey and
Bricker to pose separately with each
of the other "a Governors. 1t was
necessary to line up the other Gov
errors, have them step into the
picture one by one for more than
two hours. During this time
Dewey's aides almost had fits. The
room looked like barber shop
with Governors of half the A
States lined up cafeteria style, wait

However, Dewey kept his wits
