AtLIED GAINS tfConVfmietl From On* \ enemy’s strongest counter-blow wa? launched in the Colombelles-St. Honorme area east of Caen and the allies’ closest approach to Paris, but a front dispatch asserted the British front generally was quiet today. Samuel D. Hales, United Press war correspondent, reported from the 2ml Army headquarters that the Germans had regained control of Louivgny, 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, however. on high ground overlooking the Orne near the confluence with thv Odon, -and German counter-attacks against these strong points had ceased, Hales said in his dispatch, sent at 10:20 a. m. (3:20 a. m CWT). The British have not reached tin Qrne anywhere below Caen except near the hippodrome on the souther: edge of the city itself. Hales said. Another dispatch from the sane front last night said the Germans had used jn their counterattacks or the British sector more tanks than

bombers destroyed or damaged 31 enemy tanks in supporting the ground forces between Uessay and St. Lo yesterday, while rocket-firing British craft accounted for another j 13 near Hottot and Viamont on the

British sector.

A spokesman for Dempsey

British ground forces had boosted the toll of enemy panzers for four days to 154 by knocking out 75 Monday and Tuesday and 35 Saturday

and Sunday.

Eisenhower’s communique said the j ever before committed in Normandy. A staff officer suggested the Germans were making their maximum effort at this time out of fear they would be unable to attack in sueh force later when the cumulative effects of the ceaseless allied air bombardment of their rear areas take

effect.

The German armor already committed represents the hard crust of Germany’s mobile defenses. At least nine elite panzer divisions have been thrown into battle and it appeared loubtful that the growing losses they were suffering could be replac-

Vice Presidency Left Open By FDR ALBANY. July 12.—(UP)—Republican National Chairman Herbert Brownwell, Jr., after a conference with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, attacked President Roosevelt today for using his title as commander-in-chief for political purposes. j ••Mr. Roosevelt is the first of 32 president of the United States to claim that the title of commander-in-chief makes him a soldier and to use that title as a pretext to perpetuate himself in political office,” Brownell said. “On Nov. 4, 1940, Mr. Roosevelt made this statement: ‘You will have a new president in 1944.’ When he said that he was right.”

RETURNS TO POWER

BOGOTA. Colombia, July 12.— (UP)—President Alfonso Lopez resumed power In Colombia today after rebellious army officers, who had kidnaped him and several other high officials, were captured while attempting to flee toward Ecuador. The leaders of the revolt, Col. 1 Diogenes Gil and MaJ. Paz Figeuroa. were slezed in an automobile last night in the small frontier town of Tuquerres and personally surrendered to the president. All rebel leaders will be brought to trial before a military court, under martial law now existing in Colombia. There is no death penalty in the nation, however, under any circumstances.

WASHINGTON. July 12.—(UP) — President Roosevelt’s advance acceptance of an inevitable fourth-term nomination by next week’s Democratic national convention apparently assures a conservative-New Deal battle royal over selection of his

running mate.

Vice President Henry A. Wallace’s associates are hopeful that the President will announce publicly he would like to have him again on the ticket. But the power of compulsion is gone. Mr. Roosevelt deliberately sacrificed it when he announced yesterday that he would accept the nomination if offered and serve if elected. He thus will be unable to repeat that strategy of 1940 when he threatened to refuse renomination unless given his vice presidential choice. The sacrifice appears to have been in appeasement of antiWallace party members who are numerous, determined and angry. Under these circumstances, it will be difficult to charge Mr. Roosevelt with forcing Wallace upon the party a second time even if the Vice President is able to make the most of divided opposition and obtain the bare majority of votes necessary for re-

nomination.

The two men lunched yesterday an the White House lawn—their second two-hour conference In as many days. And Wallace apparently is reconciled to Mr Roosevelt’s 1944 campaign tactics. The Vice President pondered the White House fourth term acceptance statement for several hours and issued a statement approving Mr. Roosevelt’s action but concealing his own desires and intentions. “The statement of the President today, I am sure, will not only be a great relief to the tens of millions of people who believe in him in the United States,” Wallace said, “but Adso to the hundreds of millions in East Asia, Latin America and the rest of the allied world. “I have talked with many of these people and I believe I know exactly how they feel.” Despite his failure to mention hia personal plans or desires, Wallace has informed friends that he will accept the nominatiqn if tendered. He is regarded as an active candidate. Party conservatives are determined to beat him but are weakened so far by failure to agree on a single opposition candidate. They want a| man who will be “safe” in event he succeeded Mr. Roosevelt in his fourth term. Meantime, some of Mr. Roosevelt’s New Deal advisers are reported to be booming Associate Justice William O. Douglas of the Supreme Court, who if he succeeded to the presidency, would carry on the early tradition of Roosevelt reform. From a source close to Wallace the United Press learned of the ixpectation that Mr. 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 President, in effect, has now put Wallace on his own and that his renomination 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 it does not want. The White House strategy obviously is directed toward minlmUing the rebellion in the South. However difficult it might 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 a spectacular anti-administration demonstration at the Chicago convention. Mr. Roosevelt’s plan seems to be to avoid an open challenge to those element insofar as he can In the hope that the vigor of their convention protest will be eased thereby.

Nelson Winner In Business Dispute WASHINGTON. July 12.—(UP) - War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson was regarded today as the winner in his dispute with the armed forces over his plan for a prompt start in limited reconversion of industry. The differences, which had gone as high as the White House, were settled late yesterday at a meeting between W’PB officials and representatives of the army, navy and maritime and W’ar Manpower Commissions. Nelson emerged with virtually all his original proposals, although the military won delays, none of any great length, in the effective date for some of the provisions. Nelson originally had planned to put into effect on July 1 a program to permit reconversion In areas where manpower was available and for products for which materials were not scarce. It was delayed by his illness, from which he still is convalescing; in the meantime the military high command developed strong objections on grounds the program would jeopardize war production. The final settlement, worked out just 24 hours after War Mobilization | Director James F. Byrnes had said 1 he would step in if a protracted squabble developed, provided these dates for issuance of various orders in the program: July 15 Order lifting some of the present restrictions on the use rf aluminum and magnesium. July 22 Order permitting manufacture of a minimum number of models for experimental purpose. July 29 Order permitting re- j quests for certain machine tools and ' equipment. Aug. 15- Order permitting manufacturers “who have facilities ami manpower not needed for the war effort and where material is available” to secure permission of WPB , field officials to produce civilian art icles, production of which is now prohibited. WPB Executive Vice-Chairman j Charles E. Wilson, who announced the staggered schedule of reconversion orders, said that Nelson concurred with the plan.
