IDNDON, July 26 - (CP) — More than 2.000 tons of explos- ives and thousands of fire bombs were dropped on Stuttgart Tues- day night by hundreds of R. A. F. and R. C. A. F. heavy bombers in the second successive night's at- tack on that precision tool cen- tre and today Allied planes car- ried nrrt tactical support of Nor- mandy operations, despite unfav- orable weather.

Although clouds closed down so about 1,400 feet, rocket-carrying Typhoons roared low on the Brit- ish-Cunadian front south of Caen early in the day and knocked out 1i Nazi tanks with direct hits and disabled seven others.

Allied mediums bombed enemy troops, tanks and artillery posi- tions west of St. Lo in support of the American offensive in Nor- mandy,

From Italy a large force of Am- erican heavyweights flew into Austria and bombed military tar- gets in the Vienna area, but thick weather obscured the results.

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWEB (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON. July 26 - (AP)

— The United States tonight de- nounced Argentina for “deserting the Allied cause" and decisively rejected all suggestions that it “Batiste with President Edelmlro Farrell's regime on re-opening diplomatic relations, instead it recommended to all United and associated nations the diplomatic isolation of Argentina.

The American declaration ss- serted that Argentina had taken “two steps which have resulted in tremendous injury to the Allied cause."

"1. It has deliberately violated the pledge taken (at Havana. in July, 40) Jointly with its sister republics to cooperate in support of the war against the Axis pow- ers, and in thus deserting the Al- lied cause has struck a powerful blow at the whole system hemispheric cooperation.

"2. ft has openly and notorious- l_v been giving affirmative as- sistance to the declared enemies of the United Nations."

Recently, it was disclosed. the Argentine regime sent through Chilean channels two notes. dated June 30 and July 10. arguing for recognition and promising to col- lahorate with the United Nations

Yet "nt the very time" this was going on, the United States declar- ation asserted, reports were com- ing in to Washington that Far- rell was following "a contrary policy."

Urges Correct Address 0n liverseas Mail

OTTAWA. Ju (CP) Tire Post Office Department said today hundreds of incorrectly-ad- dressed letters for Canadian troops in France are being received by the base post office, and appealed to the public to use only the cf- ficinlly-recognizcd form in ad- dressing armed forces mail.

A statement said approximately 100 letters reach the base office cverv day inciting the number of the unit, which is comparable to leaving out the street number and street name on a civilian letter

The department said addresses should give essential ai this order, with regilatfl i- ber first:

Bracken Says Reformed Capitalism His Policy

OTTAWA, July 26 - (OP) — John Bracken, National Progres- sive Conservative leader, said to- night in a radio address that the

oat-war policy of his part was

ased on a reformed cap tallsm which placed "production first and profits last."

In the first address made by a member cf his part under the new CBO plan of ee time political parties. Mr. Bracken at- tacked the overnmenth army manpower pol cy and denied re- ports that efforts had been made to oust him from the party lead-

ershlp.

Dealing with manpower, he re- fe ed to an army advertisement for recruitstwith the caption "have I the guts.” This and other evi- dence indicated the need for man- power in the army, in industry and on farms.

A prompt retreat west of the Vire would seem in order. It may be for that limited objective the American armored thrust was driven home. The site does not immediately suggest more ambitious Allied operations.
