THE DAILY JOURNAL -GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL-STAR, MATTOON, ILLINOIS THURSDAY, AUGUST A GLORIOUS 40-ML. ADVANCE MADE BY U.S. FORCES BY PIERRE J. HUSS (L. N.

S. Staff Correspondent) With American Forces on the Outskirts of Rennes, France--In glorious 40-mile advance straight south from Avranches in only 24 hours, an American armored column today reached point 4,000 yards north of historic Rennes, ancient capital of Brittany and key railway point controlling northwestern France. Another American mailed fist rolled 35 miles during the same period from Avranches and before sunset had entered Dinan. Both of these ramrods sliced like hissing steam through minor hit and run opposition on the way, leaving the job of mopping up and capturing hundreds of additional prisoners along the Brittany trail to the hands of motorized forces swinging along in a huge dragnet behind them. The Americans are biting off huge chunks of territory and German man power and then chewing up the remaining morsels United States columns took the town of Comebourg yesterday and then slugged it out with the stubborn but disintegrating pockets of enemy resistance southeast of Doucey, north of Pontorson.

Another column got as far as the River Rance outside of Dinan before It struck German artillery and sniper barriers, but late in the afternoon it whipped through defend-. ing water into the town. 7 That produced hundreds of prisoners. American casualties continue exceptionally small. The German army's footprints in retreat become ever more, clear in the shape of smashed material by the roadside and the dead.

left where they had fallen. Many of Brittany's larger houses remained unscratched as the war forces rolled forward. Civilians lined the route of advance everywhere, handing out kisses, cognac and flowers frees to tired Americans rolling through. Repeatedly during the morning villagers came out of their cool houses into the hot sun, trembling with surprise and staring openmouthed. Then they seemed to realize that the long-awaited miracle had been accomplished and they shrieked "Les Americans! Les Americans!" "In a twinkling, French tricolor flags had been ferreted out from basements and attics and here and there were the Stars and Stripes.

painted crudely on fragments of cloth. The most spectacular American victory dash was the race for Rennes. For 40 miles into the outskirts, the American column had a walkover parade. Then, at 9 p.m. Tuesday, the Germans ambushed its spearhead just south of the suburb of La Charbonniere.

They turned loose their 88's and mortars provoked one of the fiercest and bloodiest two-hour battles recorded in this campaign.

Staff Correspondent) Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force an American version of "blitz" warfare eclipsing the German performance of four years ago, United States troops have swept through Rennes and are now south of that capital of Brittany. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters announced tonight. In addition, Allied troops are rapidly advancing from the TessyVilledieu area north of Avranches and are approaching the town of Mortain.

Elements of four German divisions have been identified in Brittany, a headquarters spokesman announced. These are the 265th, 266th and 343d Infantry divisions and the Second Paratroops Division all crack German units. Mortain, obviously the immediate objective of American armored troops. operating out of Tessy-Villedieu, is 12 miles south of Vire. Its capture will play an important part in gouging out the main German defenses guarding the roads and highways to Paris itself.

The breakthrough to Rennes from Avranches a breath-taking jump of 40 miles in the, space of only 24 hours, is believed to have set a record in this war, outshining the best the Germans were able to do when they rolled across the lowlands and France in 1940 and even bettering the fastest time of the hard-driving Russian armies in the east. Battlefront dispatches described how crack American armored units, masterfully commanded and magnificently equipped, smashed across the frontier line of Normandy into Brittany proper and then rolled almost unchecked across green fields and down 40-foot wide cement highways to Rennes, ancient capital of the province. Just outside Rennes, the Americans were held up by ambush from German snipers and mortar batteries. But American dive-bombers came over within an hour to clean up the last resistance and even before General Eisenhower had time to announce officially that Rennes had been captured, his headquarters made known that advance units had shoved their way south of the town, a major railway center controlling most of northwestern France. Thousands of Germans surrendered in the vast, fast parade across the face of France.

Some units gave themselves up in perfect formation, marching in orderly lines under command of their own officers and without escorts to prison camps in the rear. FAIR PLANS FINISHED BY REPUBLICANS Coles county Republicans have completed plans for "Republican Day" to be held Friday at the Coles County Fair, it was announced today. Richard F. Lyons of Libertyville, candidate of the U. S.

The speakers will be introduced by Circuit Judge Ben F. Anderson.

LEADERS BY LEO W. O'BRIEN (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) St.

Louis -The nation's 26 Republican governors, including presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey, today unanimously adopted a reconversion and postwar policy charging that "the national administration 1s now standing squarely in the path of the future employment of our returning veterans and millions of displaced war workers." Declaring that the great problem of permanent peace time jobs can be adequately met only by private enterprise under an enterprise system, the governors added: "To allow continuance of the present listlessness, negligence and lack of leadership in Washington is to invite national disaster at the conclusion of either of our two major conflicts." Governor Dewey and his 25 gubernatorial colleagues worked until early morning whipping into shape declarations of party policies on half of the 14 major subjects over which they believe there is "serious conflict" between the federal, state and local governments. In addition to reconversion 'and postwar jobs, the Republican governor also wrote declarations of policy on the problems of public lands, highways, postwar status of the national guard, veterans' affairs and public works. The governors declared that the benefits and services made available to veterans under the I. Bill of Rights" are "a national responsibility and should be recognized as a part of the cost of war." The governors said every veteran should be able to discuss with someone "at home" the benefits and services available to him, and that this can be handled more efficiently by the states and local communities, which have a "more intimate understanding of the veterans' personal needs."

"We are living through the crucial period which the world has been awaiting for four years," Mrs. Taft said in beginning her address.

"The United Nations are pounding the enemy from every side. The enemy itself seems to be reeling and the end may come sooner than we had expected. On the other hand." Mrs. Douglas continued, 'the fiercest struggle with the heaviest casualties. may still be before us, for Hitler has threatened to pull down as much of civilization as he can if he himself must fall.

This is no time to relax. Donald Nelson warned us a few weeks back that production of ammunition had actually fallen two per cent where we needed a three per cent rise. Until the struggle is won, it must be full speed ahead on the home front. And that means the fullest production of all essentials which, of course, includes the agricultural products of this region." A noon-day luncheon meeting for a group of Democratic nominees for state offices and a number of local political leaders was held today at the Hotel U. S.

Grant. W. K. Kidwell, state's attorney, made arrangements for the luncheon and acted as master of ceremonies. Among the candidates introduced by Mr.
