Hull Worms On Being Too Optimistic

Washington. July 2l.--(UPD-- Secretary of State Cordell Hull, warning against lover optimism. said today the attack on Adolf Hit- Ter clearly indicates that the rec alizatoin of Germany's impending defeat" is spreading in the Reich.
 The appointment Of Heinrich Himmler as commander-ln-chief of the home front. Hull said in formal staetment, is an illustration Of the "steadils deteriorating mili- tary position of Germany" But he warned:
 We should intensity our efforts here at home to bring about and make all the sooner, and more cer- tain the defeat of our enemies"
 Hull pointed out that the fran tic attempts" of Hitler to restore unity of the German command also illustrates divergence Of views" be- tween the Germany and the Naz party.
 But no amount Of internal re- shuffling or repression or repression by Himmler can conceal from the German people the fact that many German generals believe that Ger many has lost the war" Hull said,
 It was the first official Ameri can comment on events which the Germans themselves revealed yester- day-the attempt on Hitleris life, an address by Hitler and subsequent blood purge of the officer group Te- sp0nsible.
 The text of Hnll's statement;
 "The attack on Hitler and his explanatory speech clearly indicate that realization of Germany's im- pending defeat is spreading in the Reich. He and two of his most im- portant military advisers have now denounced as criminal traitors a clique of former generals. who had to be chased from their posts for 8 leadership as eowardly as 1t was in- competent Hitler has furthermore been compelled to remove the chief of the German general staff and to ap0pint his chief exeeutioner, Hein- rich Himmler, as commander Of the army in Germany,

 On the left flank. other British forces were fighting street battles in Eyrecy, southwest Of caen, and the village of BoIgy mile and a half to the northwest. St. Andre sur-Orne was captured. clearing the bank of the river four miles due south of Caen, and to the west a drive of more than four miles below Tilly-Sur-Seulles overran the vile laee of Monts.
 American forces closing in on Periers, central base of the German defenses on the first army front, captured Seves, 2 l-2 miles north of Periers; raids, on the Carentan- Periers highway four miles to the north; and Les Mesnil Fury, eight miles southeast of PeTiers on the St, To highway.
 Front reports said the Nazi com mand was trying to rush armor to the Normandy front from northern France and Belgium. In that con neetion, the Royal Air Force last night carried out a concentrated bombardment of the big rail hub at courtrai, Belgium, and outlying yards.
 Three main lines from Germany through Belgium and into France pass through COurtrai. which serves as a feeder junction for all north- western France.

As the Wallace strategy meeting broke up at the Morrison hotel there were claims of almost enough votes to renominate the vice president on the first ballot.
 But one of Mir. R0osevelts per- sonal aides here scofied at the re- port and told the United Press that the nomination of Sen. Harry s. Truman, of Missouri, had been re- quested by the president. He said the suddenly enlivened campaign for Wallace was against the ex- pressed wishes Of Mir. Roosevelt"
 r. 9. R. Accepts
 The president accepted his own fourth term renomlnation last night after Q routine process of afternoon balloting. The score was: Roose- welt i.0e6: Sen. Harry P. Byrd Of Virginia. 90; James 4. Farley Of New York. 1.
 The surprised delegates learned as the president talked that his radio speech was being made from west coast naval station. They will be more surprised to read in the papers today that the president passed through Chicago last Satur- day and conferred with Chairman Robert F. flanagan of the national committee. The president directly answered the campaign charge Of Gov Thomas E. Dewey. of New York. the Republican presidential nominee. that he and his adminis- tEatien are tired and quarrelsome old men.

 The voice was reminiscent of Ivan the terrible the radio ghost who haunted NaA radio programs with its Interruptions during the opening days of the Russo-German campaign,
 Much stronger than the German announcer the voice lnterspersed declarations such as the Germans of the Wehrmacht have risen against Hitler A new Reich goy- ernment has been formed against Hitler"
 Its timing was perfect, Each time the German announcer paused, the voice speaking fast but distinctly, eyh0rted,
