to the presidency, would carry on the early tradition of Roosevelt re- form.
 From a source close to Wallace the United Press learned of the ex- pectation that MT. Roosevelt will make some statement regarding the vice presidential nomination before the convention meets in Chicago one week from today. But political Washington believes that the Pres ident, in effect. has now put Wallace on his own and that his renomina. ton for vice president will depend largely upon his own efforts. The president evidently does not intend this time to challenge the temper Of the convention by compelling it to accept a man 1t does not want.
 The White House strategy obvi. ously was directed toward InlnimiZs ing the rebellion in the South. HoWs ever difficult it may be for southern Democrats to refuse to support the Democratic ticket on election day. there is no doubt whatsoever that several southern delegations are prepared to put on 8 spectacular anti-administration demonstration at the Chicago convention. MT. Rooseyelt's plan seems to be to avoid an open challenge to those elements insofar as he can in the hope that the vigor of their c0nyer- ton protest will be essed thereby.
 Some unusually well informed iD- dividuals believe Wallace may take himself out of the race although the vice presidents own associates repus date such suggestions. Nevertheless, the field Is comparatively open as Of nov. That means that almost c dozen men are prospects,

St. Lo Sector Ablaze
 With Fighting Today

1 bombers destroyed or damaged 3l enemy tanks in supporting the ground forces between Lessay and St. Lo yesterday, while rocket-f firing British craft accounted for another l3 near Hottot and Viamont on the British sector.
 A spokesman for Dempsey said British ground forces had boosted the toll of enemy Panzers for four days to l54 by knocking cut 75 Mon. day and Tuesday and 35 Saturday and Sunday.
 Eisenhower's communique said the enemyS strongest counter-blow was launched in the Colombelles Horrorine area east of Caen and the Allies closest approach to Paris, but front dispatch asserted the British front generally was quiet to- day.
 Samuel D. Hales, United Press War Correspondent, repc<sed from the End Army headquarters that the Germans had regained control of Louvigny, two miles southwest of Caen, and nearby Athis and Maltot on the east bank of the Orne river after they were held temporarily by the British.
 The British had a firm grip, how ever, on high ground overlooking the Orne near its confluence with the Odon, and German counter attacks against these strong points had ceased. Hales said in his dispatch, sent at l0:20 a. m. (4:20 a. rn., EWT).
 The British have not reached the Orene anywhere below Caen except near the Hippodrome on the south- ern edge of the city itself, Hales said.
 Another dispatch from the same front last night said the Germans had used in their counter-attacks on the British sector more tanks than ever before committed in Normandy.
 A staff officer suggested the Ger. mans were making their maximum effort at this time out of fear they would be unable to attack in such force later when the cumulative ef- fects of the ceaseless Allied air bombardment of their rear areas take effect.
 The German armor already com- mitted represents the hard crust of Germany's mobile defenses. At least nine elite Panzer divisions have been thrown into battle and it appeared doubtful that the grow ing losses they were suffering could be replaced.

A enemy panzers in "A hours. Lieutenant General Omar N Bradley's ground forces northwes of St. Lo knocked out an additiona 12 tanks, two of them Mark Vs anC the remainder Mark TVS, yesterday to boost the toll of German arr1ol for the four days Saturday through Tuesday to at least l66.
 Reports reaching Allied head quarters suggested that the battle oi Normandy was approaching the showdown stage with German Mar. shal Erwin Rommel hurling more and more of his hoarded tanks into counter attacks to stem Allied col- umns threatening the Orne river line and only two and half miles from Lessay and four and a quarter miles from PerierS.
 German counter attacks were many and severe all along the Al. lied front Tuesday, but they were held and we made some gains, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower reported in his 73rd communique of the inva- sion.
 Fighting was particularly severe in the St. To area, where American forces stormed down the highway from Bayeux to within two miles northeast of the hilltop fortress town yesterday, capturing razor- back hill dominating the entire area.
 The American also strengthened out their line south of Le Meauffe, five miles north of St. Lo, with an advance of 1000 yards, while their comrades to the northwest pushed down the Carentan-Periers road to within four and a quarter miles northeast of Periers.
 South of La Haye- -Du Puits on the west coast sector, the Germans ap- peared to be withdrawing under cover of heavy machine-gun and mortar fire. Pressing on their heels, an American column advanced up to 2,000 yards to the outskirts of Angoville- e-Sur-Ay, two and three quarters miles south of La Have and two and a half miles north of Les- say.
 The Germans s. till clung to Hill 92, dominating height some two miles south of the Mt. Castro pla- teau southeast of La Have, how ever.
 In a successful local attack. the Americans captured the tiny ham, let of La Belhon, six miles south west of Carentan and six miles northeast of Periers, to broaden their salient along the Carentaa- Periers highway to 1900 yards.
