Stannard, chief medical officer of the 41st divi sion declared today that soldiers who contract tropical diseases will recover rapidly upon return to temperate climates. The former Eugene doctor, who went overseas in March, 1942, said that "northwest troops, as a whole, don't have anything to worry about as far as the per manence of these Pacific illnesses are concerned." Stannard told interviewers that northwest veterans of the Pacific do not want to find Japanese here when they come home. "These boys who have been in contact with the Japs say, 'put them back in the middle west if you love them so, but we don't want to live with them.' ", Stan nard said. "They have found in this war that the Jap cannot be trusted." Two Courses Seen Open to Nazis in Meeting Invasion WASHINGTON, May 8. (AP) German strategy makers are ex pected here to face their most fateful hour of decision about a week perhaps e day or so either way-from the time a full scale allied invasion force hits western Europe. Their choice, as authorities here 3ee it, will be that of gambl ing for real victory by commit ting all they have to an effort to throw the invaders into the sea, or attempting to stabilize surrounding lines for a stale mate. Despite the difficulties of am phibious attack, the chances for accomplishing actual landings and establishing the beachheads at reasonable cost are considered good. The time of crisis, for the nazis as -well asfor Gen. Eisenhower's forces, is expected in about six or eight days when the Germans have had time to assess the pow er and main striking position of of the allies. Should the nazis believe it pos sible to smash the beachhead or beachheads completely, they may be expected to use all their strength to do it. London dispatches apparently based on authoritative informa tion place enemy reserve strength behind the western coast at 54 to 67 divisions. These should be able to move swiftly with or without railroads, since the Ger mans must have made provision against aerial destruction of their rail centers. The same considerations that apply to the ultimate German use of land forces apply as well to their, air fleet. The best-backed opinion is that the nazis are hoarding fighter plane strength against two alter natives. If they see a change for decision while the invasion is still developing, they will throw it Into action without restraint; oth erwise they may seek to preserve it as long as possible as a threat, using the same "fleet in being" strategy that the Japanese now apply to their navy.
