Gov. John Bricker Predicts
GOP Victory in November
ALBANY, NY, Juljj 2M-Gov. John W. Bricker, GOP can
didate for vice president, predicted today a republican victory in
November, and termed the party's
he said would be "a battle" for
der states. .,' i -.
The 6hio governor expressed
preceding a meeting with . Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, republican pre
sidential nominee, to discuss cam
paign plans. Dewey attended the
press conference but left the an
swering of Questions, almost . en
tirely to his running mate.
The two began their talk im
mediately after seeing reporters.
Dewey said results of their dis
cussions would ' not be disclosed
until tomorrow when the 1 vice
presidential nominee would leave
for New York City to confer with
Na tional Republican Chairman
Herbert Brownell, jr. Mrs. Brick
er is accompanying the Ohio gov
ernor. " :
Apparently making no lump
concessions to democrats in either
sectional or group voting, Bricker
told newsmen republican chances
were "very good , in the border
states" and declared the GOP
ticket would draw a "good labor
vote."
He named -' Missouri, Oklahoma,
Kentucky. West Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland as states republi
cans "have a chance of carrying."
"If the election were held to
day, I think we would win," said
Bricker. "We are going to win in
November. The people are ready
for a change and they are going
to make a change."
Asked what he expected the la
bor vote to be, Bricker replied that
"they have been coming rapidly
over to our side, and I expect
they will continue. We will get a
good labor vote, I know."
. A reporter then asked if he
thought the democratic conven
tion activities of the CIO political
action committee, headed by Sid
ney Hillman "would have any ef
fect"
"I think Hillman's extreme ac
tivity on the other side may force
many of labor's ranks into the re
publican party," Bricker replied.

Nazis May Not Make Stand
Until They Reach Oder tine
LONDON, July 26-(P)-The
f
Russian offensive are so great
discussing seriously the possibility that the nazis will be unable
to make a firm stand against
Oder river line running well
South of Warsaw the Russians
river, the last remaining line of
natural defense in front of. the
German frontier. The swift Soviet
advance has . given the Germans
little time to reorganize their ar
mies fleeing through Poland. It Is
142 miles from the Russian posi
tion on the Wisla to the border
of German Silesia, 358 miles to
Berlin. -1
If the Wisla' line fails to hold,
the next important river barrier
is the Oder which, as it approaches
the sea, runs only 33 miles north
east of Berlin.
On the basis of the most con
servative military opinion here,
the nazis may find! it expedient
to evacuate most I of Poland,
swinging from the Carpathian
mountain barrier to the line of the
Oder, which runs from Breslau
on the north through Frankfurt
in the center to Stettin on the
north. j
Strategic withdrawals will be
necessary in any case -with such
a deep and dangerous salient driv
en into the heart of Poland.
