GUAM.UNDER
BIG ATTACK,
SAYS TOKYO
Ninety Planes, Cruisers,
Destroyers Crash
Island

NEW YORK, July ia Japan
ese radio broadcast today said a
'very powerful enemy fleet, con-
sisting of two aircraft carriers and
more than 30 cruisers and Destroy
ers, are plying the waters northwest
of Tinian Island in the Marianas. !"
Anoher radio report made by the
Domei agency, and recorded here
by the United States Government
monitors, said 80 planes attacked
the American stolen island of
Guam on July 10 and that cruisers
and destroyers also shelled the Jap
positions on Guam.
The Domei broadcast also stated
other aircraft bombed Tinian and
Rota, all in the same island group.
A Berlin radio broadcast had this
to say 1.-The United States pos
sesses considerable supremacy in
aircraft carriers in the Marianas,"
and then added: 1.-The United States
is prepared for a decisive battle
and it will not shun any battle
wherever opportunity offers"

FDR ACCEPTS
DEGAULLE AS
FRENCH HEAD
Committee 10 Rule Pend.
ing Opportunity Of Peo-
pIe 10 Make Choice

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has announced that
he is accepting the French National
Committee d d by General
Charles DeGaulle as the authority
for the civil administration of lib
Grated France.
Roosevelt's new attitude toward
the committee, the President made
clear, results from his talks on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday with
General DeGaulle. There is nc
change, the President said, in the
policy of this government in not
recognizing the French Committee
as the provisional government, but
in its capacity of de facto author
ity."
The committee will be under the
general supervision of q RAJ
Dwight d. Eisenhower, and he will
have the decision as to when a
city, town or department can be
released from the military admin
istration and turned over to the
committee.
The President used the term "de
facto authority" in describing the
committees role pending the time
the French people have an OPP
portunity to choose government
for themselves.

Eneire|ing Tactics Against
Stubborn German Re-
sisfdnle in Italy

ROME, July 11.-Employing en-
circling tactics against stubbornly
and heavily defended German
strongholds, American troops are
working their way steadily north
ward in a broad enveloping move
ment aimed at the key Italian port
of Liyorno, Allied headquarters said
The Fifth Army forces bypassed
the town of Lajatico, q miles
southeast of Livorno in one phase
of this movement, and stabbed on
ahead against fierce opposition.
A similar operation resulted in
the bypassing of Pomaja, about
eight miles inland from the Italian
west coast, approximately midway
between Lajatico, and the coast
town OF Castilglioncello.
The One Hundredth Battalion,
composed of American troops of
japanese origin, Is engaged in VIC
lent fighting on relatively flat
ground three miles west of Jomaja,
and are reported making some
progress
The German garrison at Ponaja
is thus threatened on two sides,
and the Nazi force at Lajatico is
in much the same position.

Killers Plan 10 Invade
United States Revealed

WASHINGTON, July 11.--Con-
gress has been told by one of the
nations leading aircraft manufact-
urers, President Carlton Ward, Jr.,
of the Fairchild Engine and Airplane
Corporation, that he saw in 1910 a
detailed plan drawn by Adolf Hitler
for an invasion of the United States.
Testifying before the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Subcommittee, Ward
SAID he was permitted to see the
plan while in France as head Of a
mission advising on aircraft con-
struction.
Chairman Murry described the
testimony as startling when Ward
said, After he brought England to
her knees, Hitler planned to attack
us through Mexico with tanks and
other armored equipment which we
didn't have. He planned to make
feint through Newfoundland, then
invade us through Mexico. Not only
did Hitler plan military invasion,
but he had complete plan for
the economic domination of the
world"
England, by the use Of approx
mately 700 well-designed planes and
aided by special devices, he testified,
saved Europe and probably the
world from Hitler domination.
The manufacturer said he got Hit
ler's plan through diplomatic
sources

Foreign Policies Of
Administration May
Be Campaign Issues
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, July II. With
politicians beginning to think of
almost everything in terms of the
November elections, they now are
starting to wonder openly if the adj
ministration isn't supplying the OPP
position with a few political block
busters in the handling of foreign
policy.
Actually, only history and the
opening of few files that wartime
secrecy now keeps closed will make
it possible to evaluate the admins
tration's moves. But, unfortunately,
history can be weighed only in
perspective. and those files aren't
likely to be opened between now and
November.
This is a rather surprising swing
of the political pendulum. A few
months ago opponents of the Presi-
dent were so uncritical of this coun-
try's foreign policies that their
political advisers were cautioning
them not to breach the subject at
all Their idea was to make the
fight for the Presidency on purely
domestic issues.

WASHINGTON, July 1i--Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt said he
will accept the Democratic renom-
ination and serve fourth term If
elected
He made known his intentions In
public letter to Democratic Ma
tional Committee Chairman Robert
E. Hannegan. who had informed the
Chief Executive sufficient delegates
are pledged for his denomination at
the Democratic National Convention
which opens in Chicago next week.
President Roosevelt said he pre-
fers to retire bvt Il will accept to
serve in this office If am so ordered
by the COMMUNICATIVE Chief of us
all, the sovereign people of the
United States"
News Is Sprung
The President sprang the news OF
his intentions at conference with
the newsmen.
One reporter asked If the Presi-
dent had anything to say about the

the reporter he was only guessing
this time but he was right, and
getting quickly to the correspond
ence before him. the President read
Hannegan's letter saying his re-
nomination was assured and then
replied:
IF the Democratic National Con-
vention should carry this out, then
nominate me for the Presidency.
l shall accept, If the people elect
me, will serve
Won't Run
The President said, however. he
will not run" for reelection in the

as little right TO withdraw as a
soldier to leave his post in the line

people of this country under the
American constitutional system.
Economic System
Prom personal point of view I
believe our economic system is ON a
sounder and more human basis than
at the time Of iiiy first inaugura-
ton. After many years in the public
service, therefore my personal
thoughts turn TO the day when I
can return to civil life and all that
within me cries out to go back to
my home on the Hudson River and
avoid public responsibilities and also
avoid publicity by which our de-
mocracy follows every step OF the
lNdJiDli . Siiltl IAcCuOfsC-
No Sec0nd-Place Talk
The President made no mention
of the second-place ticket status re-
garding President Henry A.
Wallace and this remains unclari-
fled
Wallace told reporters last night.
after a two-hour conference with
the President. that their CONVERSE
ton dealt solely with China from
where the Vice-Presldent has just
returned.
The President today was asked by
reporter what he had to say about
yesterdays conference with Wallace
and the President replied: "Oh. we
just talked about China"
