Washington Thinks Roosevelt likely To Be lie-Elected

By C. R. BLACKBURN WASHINGTON, July 2'7 — (CPi —Whatever opinions may be ex-

pressed in public it is apparent from indications here that thg majority Americans believe President Roosevelt is the likely winner in next November's elec- tions.

'10 many of those who believe this and admit their belief the idea of one mun remaining Pre- sident for 16 consecutive years is al ost inconceivable.

ut even rabid Republicans and anti-Roosevelt Democrats have been heard to express, reluctant- ly and regrettfully, the belief that Roosevelt cannot be beaten.

I‘ War Situation

n Last Night?

By Kirkc L. Simpson, Assooia‘ ’ Press War Analyst

Nazi admission that Russian spearheads had punched across the Vis- tuh southeast ol Warsaw headlined the war new; from Europe although sustained second ‘day progress of a closely knit American air-tank advance in Nonnandy holds promise of significant events to come in the ivcst.

As the air-escorted tank columns mushroomed out to east ﬂTIILWCSI. from the deep penetration of enemy lines below St. Lo there seemed no question that the desperate Nazi effort to contain the-Allied invasion had failed. Front line dispatches told of American infantry swarming through the alr-and-tank cut gaps to consolidate the ground, disrupt Gel-mun rear echelon services and outflank his battle lines in both directions.

There are glittering possibilities in the developing situation. While it is as yet doubtful that the Allied immediate purpose goes farther than to widen and deepen the Nonnnndy bridgehead tn accommodate larger forces in preparation for more decisive action, the means for immediate exploitation of enemy confusion appears to be at hand. The situation in German ranks as wcll as in Germany itself invites bald action.

Russian crossing of the Vistula on the Sit-mile span ivhere they had reached the. river southeast of Warsaw seemed highly probable.

Once beyond the river in the Bcrlin-Pulawy sector in any force. the Russians could swing northwestwarrl to take the old Polish capital from

the rear, its vulnerable side. or cut its communion"

lines. Whatever the

Russian plan. however. the battle is rolling back upon Warsaw just two

WITH THE CANADIANS IN FRANCE, July 2'7 -— (CP Cabin- Three fresh enemy counter-attack attempts between dawn and early evening today were broken up in front of the Canadian line from St. Andre Sur Orne to the Tilly La. Campagne area, south and south- east of Caen.

Two of them were discovered as enemy infantry and small groups of tanks started to form up before dawn and were dealt with by tremendous artillery concentra- tions. A third in the late after- noon quickly became the target of rocket-firing Typhoons and Spit- fires.

None of the enemy counter- strokes, believed aimed at narrow sections of the front to the east of the Orne river, was given any chance to get organized.

Cloudy weather with brief show- ers over this front. had little ef- fect on air activit and although Typhoons and Spi fires flew few- er sorties than on Wednesday, there was no time during the day when none were visible.

Enemy guns and mortars fired fewer rounds into the Canadian lines than for several days and after the early morning barrage, disrupting the German attack forces, the guns supporting the Canadians also were quieter for longer periods than usual.

Canadian ground troops, unable to move too far from their slit trenches, watched with delight as Typhoons went through their manoeuvres, diving to let loose rockcts among German armor and infantry. some officers said the work of the Typhoons ranked al- most with mail from home as a morale booster.
