Blood Purge to Crush German Revolt Spreads (Continued from page 1) breathe, who does not carry arms or forge them." Recruiting Bogs Down The Berlin correspondent of Tidningen of Stockholm cabled the Germans had acknowledged recruiting and supply for the war fronts had bogged down because of "bureaucracy In the staff of the German home army," the command of which was assumed by Hlmmler shortly after a bomb scorched and scratched Hitler last week. While German army morale appeared badly shaken, there was no concrete evidence yet of any disaffection In the front lines. The nazis clearly were still In firm control both of the army and of Germany Itself. Reports from France pictured Adolf Hitler s purge of rebellious army officers as having spread to the fighting fronts In Ger many, France and possibly Italy. These reports said eight eastern front commanders were arrest ed or ousted, and that gostapo agents had arrested and possibly executed German divisional lead ers In France and seized Marshal Albert Kosselrlng, the German army commander In Italy. One report said Gen. Johannes Bias kowitz of the Bordeaux sector In France had ordered his troops on Monday to prepare for emergen cies, hut that he later cancelled Another. Uniformed Group Joins D.

War's End May Be Near Churchill, now back in Britain after a three-day tour of the Nor mandy front, gave the first offi cial allied word on the crisis In Germany. While visiling an RAF flying field in France yesterday, Churchill declared there were grave signs of weakness" in Germany. He predicted the war "might come to an end earlier than we have a right to say." Declaring the Germans were not happy on the fighting fronts, Churchill remarked: "And now, suddenly boiling up in their stomachs, has come a deadly quarrel at home. It is not a nice thing for a man to hear of a revolution going on in his own country when he is being attacked." Of the nttemnt nn Hitler's life. Churchill said with a grin: "They missed the old bounder (rough approximation) ,i- but there's time yet." Generals Withhold Pledges Berlin was silent on the coun ter measurers taken against the German officers whom Hitler said had planned lo kill him. Ger man uneasiness was underscored in these things which were left unsaid: 1. Not a single general on the eastern front, where the German armies have been reeling back toward their own borders, has come forward personally t o pledge loyalty to the fuehrer, though the nazis claimed a blan ket pledge. 2. With the exception of Col. Gen. Beck, former German gen eral staff chief, the names of the plotters -- the "mad generals" de scribed by Relchsmarhsal Goer-Ing- still have not been announc ed. 3. Pronaeamla Minister Gneb- bels, the most efectlve and prob ably the shrewdest of all nazl ora tors, has not appeared once on the radio, nor has he been re ported at any meetings with Hitler. Berlin itself was reported quiet, though one Ankara report said the capital was under a curfew. Berlin announced today that Col. Gen. Guenther Korten, chief of the German air force general staff, had died of Injuries suffer ed in last Thursday's explosion at Hitler's headquarters. A broadcast s;iid Mai. Gen. Heinz Brandt, first officer In the operative section of the armv general staff, also had succumbed. This brought the announced death toll to three, Berlin having announced earlier the death of "the fuehrer collaborator," and double, whose name was carried last week by Berlin as "Berger," but was announced today as Heln rich Ber"tu-r. 6:30 p. m. each Tuesday and Thursday.
