v0TEC0UNT IN BRITAIN
 TOMORROW
Results Of July , EIeliion, ChurlhiII's $ Fate, to Be
 Known Soon

LONDON, July g Britain awaited today without visible signs of excitement announcement of the results of the July Parliamentary elections, which will determine whether Prime Minister Churchill is to remain at the head of the Government upon whose shoulders will fall the task of prosecuting the war against Japan.
 It is expected that the first re- turns will start trickling in from the nations $40 districts about noon tomorrow q a. m. Eastern War Time, and that the bulk of the votes will be tabulated within the next five hours.
 A potentially important factor in attempting to predict the outcome is the liberal party vote.
 Should the Conservatives and Laborites win an almost equal number of seats, the question of which group would be called upon to form the new government might depend upon the direction in which the Liberals swing.
 Both Conservatives and Liberals have toned down their election predictions of easy victory, and there is now a general belief the final results will show a swing to the left-how much is a matter of speculation.

WITH THIRD U. S. FLEET, OFF JAPAN, July 25 = Adm. Halsey yearned today for fleet with wheels "so we could chase the Japs inland after we drive chem from the coast"
 Halsey's yearning was broadcast to the U. s. from his Third Fleet flagship only 100 miles off the Japanese coast, even as his carrier planes were smashing at covering remnants Of the Japanese fleet in the inland sea.
 Proclaiming that naval warfare had entered new phase-"the opening of the final plunge into the heart of Japan" the tough talking admiral said:
 The Allied team is working with speed and devastating precision and if the Nips do not know they are a doomed nation they're even stupider than I think they are"
 Halsey then described what had been done in the past Is days:
 Heavy naval guns had wrought unbelievable destruction" in the northern industrial areas. Lighter units had smacked the mouth of Tokyo Bay and smashed shipping lanes and shot up coastal targets
 The combination of the B-29's the ground power of the Okinawa- based air forces and the unstop- pablo pin-point accuracy of the carrier planes are reducing the enemy's air potential to that of a painful nuisance" he said.
 He warned that Japanese suicide planes are still capable of doing damage, but that this cannot anc will not stop us.'

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
NOTE-Drew Pearson con- tinues his series of columns on the problems President Truman faces at Potsdam.
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army)

GTON-President Tru- man has now made it clear at Potsdam that what the United States wants out of this war is no territory but "the peace and pros perity of the world as whole
 This means he may have to do some tough talking with his two colleagues to battle down the un- fortunate tendency on the part of both Russia and Britain to domi- nate certain parts of the world that don't wants to be dominated.
 In other words, Truman will have to re-define, if not wipe out Spheres of influence"
 Last week this column described the Russian sphere of influence in the Balkans and how combina- ton of Bulgar-R Russian Commun- ists had ridden roughshod over middle of -the-road political lead CTS. even restricting the move ments of American representatives. President Truman at that time wanted to pull American officials completely out of Rumania and Bulgaria. But now, instead of re- treating, he is in position where he must stand up and try to rectify some of these injustices face to face with Stalin.
 Likewise with Churchill. Though the American people have not heard as much about British in justices as they have Soviet opera tions in Poland, Mir. Churchill's s record in Britain's so-called spheres of influence is not one to be proud of.
 Abyssinia, first victim of ag- gression in this war, is still oc- cupied by British troops.
 Greece, the Cradle of Democracy, is now occupied by as many British troops as by Germans one year ago. Foreign troops are foreign troops. and Greek reaction is that they didn't fight this war to be
