The War Today
By Dewltt Mackensle
(This dally feature, conduct

written today by Fred Vander
schmidt). The five-day-old battle In the
sands of Cyrenaica has changed
the face of the war and present
ed Adolf Hitler with a problem
he never had before what to
do about an army desperately
on the defensive, far from home
and facing annihilation.
In almost every element It Is
the German blitzkrieg In com
plete reverse. For the first time
the British are more powerful,
belter armed, better ' supplied.
The battle is of their own choos
ing and the battlefield gives
them almost unlimited space in
which to move their weapons;
so swiftly that the damage Is
done long before It can be

Portland, Nov. 22. VP) Pro
bation officers learned today
that a New Jersey youth sen
tenced here last month to 2V4
years in federal prison for draft
evasion was too young to reg
ister. Theodore C. Whitehead plead
ed guilty before Federal Judge
James A. Fee October 14 and
was sent to Terminal Island
penitentiary.
A letter from the prisoner's
mother, Mrs. Evelyn J. White
head, Palmyra, N. J., was. re
ceived today by Perry Price,
probation officer's deputy. With
it was a birth certificate show
ing the youth was only 19 yean
of age.
Mrs. Whitehead said her son
was absent without leave from
his National Guard company and
probably feared punishment for
that more than the sentence for
draft evasion.
Court officers said today they
did not know whether Judge Fee
could order Whitehead's release
from prison or whether a presi
dential pardon would be necessary.

looks now as If Hitler is out
at all costs to take Moscow,

Furthermore Hitler is trying
to pull the French back into
the war as an ally; endeavor
ing to bring about a state of
belligerency between the un
tested French armies of north
Africa and the British which
will keep his enemies occupied
below the Mediterranean for a
long time and assure the axis
