Spellman of New York prepared todoy to leave for front lino areas after formally denying persistent reports that his visit to the Vatican was link ed with possible p:nce overtures on tho part of Popo Pius XII. Vatican quarters nlso denied that a peace proposal was the subject of the archbishop's con versations with the pontiff, or that tho. popo was expected to como forward with any peace plan. - Informed of tho publication of reports in tho United States that ho had discussed a "papal peace plan" with the pope Sunday, Archbishop Spellman Issued a denial through a .spokesman. 'American nations have Insisted on taking no action regarding Argentina except after consul tation among themselves and agreement on a course satisfac tory to all, This was stressed particularly by Secretary of Stato Hull at his press confer ence yesterday when he dis closed that a statement on poli cy would be Issued but that the need for consultation with all tho American governments would delay it several days. Surprise Move Despite, the recall from Buenos Aires of U. S. Ambas sador Norman Armour and dip lomatic representatives of other Latin American republic?, the decision of the Argentine gov ernment to withdraw Escobar came as something of a surprise. Pro-Argentina sources here havo tntorprctdd the recalls of ambassadors from Buenos Aires as presaging a shift in feeling and the Impending recognition of Farrell's regime. .The present Argentine regime has not been recognized by the United States because of its al leged pro-nazl' leanings. - Camutde Wonderland KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, Ready For Occupancy of th cams of 55 trailers sat up Red Troops 50 Miles From Warsaw After Splitting German Armies in Poland LONDON,-July.J5 () Ian troops striking toward lha Baltic hare cut tha uaugaypllt Riga railway and to the south other lorlet forces hare thrust within two and one-half miles of Blalyatok in Old Poland, Moscow announced tonight. . , By DANIEL, DE.

Nazi Control Of Government Alade Stronger LONDON, July 25 OP) Adolf Hitler decreed tonight a dras tic streamlining of the German ing nasi party leaders with rest powers and ordering appoint ment of a plenipotentiary who could in the future "demand in formation from and give instructions to the highest authorities." (This wording suggested tha possibility that even Hitler might on occasion be subject to questioning or direction of his subordi nates. However, tha great probability was that "highest raich authorities" referred to administrative . heads, not : tha fuehrer himself. (Relchmarshal Goerlng in the past has been looked upon as Hitler's heir epparent and possible successor if German leader ship attempted to secure something better than unconditional surrender). A Today's decree, as broadcast from Berlin, said Goering, ap pointed chairman of the council for the defense of the reich, would "propose to me" (Hitler) a plenipotentiary.
