The Democratic state convention British Admissions Make Big Impression on People Previously Fed with Nazis Claims of Victory here yesterday unanimously endorsed a third term for President Roosevelt and pledged the state's 16 votes to the President.—United Press.
Rome, June 5.
\A fair summary of Mr, Winston Churchill's speech was broadcast yestétday evening, and came as an eye-opener to the italian public! who, for days past has read of nothing but reports of a great German victory, and the annihilation of the Allied northern army.
The public was quick to notice the coincidence in the figures. Eve. ning newspapers had streamer headlines proclaiming that the Germans had captured 300,000 Allied troops, whereas actually '335,000 men had been evacuated to England, Mr. Churchill's announcement has been eagerly discussed, ard readily believed, in view of his frank admission' of a "colossal military disaster."
The remark generally heard last night was that Hitler had won the battle, but that did not mean that he had won the war.—Reuter, ***A full report of Mr. Churchill's speech will be found on page 3.
