T MSSUNS LIKELY FIRST IN BERLIN SAY MILITARISTS Reds Much Closer To Ger man Capital Than West ern Allies; Moving Faster By Reuel S. Moor United Press Correspondent Washington, July 27. J.R1 Competent military observers said today the rapid advance of Russian forces through Poland increases the likelihood that it will be the red armies which ad. minister the coup de grace to Germany by being the first to surge into Berlin. Not only are the Russians much closer to the German capl tal than the western allies about 370 miles as compared to 600 but their rate of advance is many times faster than allied progress in the west. , Greater Power Moreover, the Russians have greater power assembled on their route to Berlin. On the eastern front from Lwow north' ward, there are seven red arm ies hammering crumbling Ger man defenses. There are only two allied armies in Italy and but two whose presence have been announced in Normandy. In the east the Germans have committed such huge forces that their destruction would be a mortal mow to the nazis. As of now, this is not true in either Normandy or Italy. There is now no Indication that the Russians will not be able to maintain the terrific rate of progress they have registered thus far. In one month's time 1 rJ l! iMMtxmr h . (Acma Telephoto) Senator Barry S. Truman of Missouri (left), named Democrats' nominee (or Vice President on second ballot, stands beside Robert E. Hannegan, national committee chairman, as ha acknowledges convention cheers. this advance has ranged up to a maximum of about 250 miles. The Germans must stem this movement soon or be in the gravest danger. A collapse of their delenses either in Normandy or Italy would be serious for the Ger mans. But it would bring to the nazis no immediate danger greater than now exists in the east. Observers here believe it is quite possible that the end of the present wasting struggle in Normandy may be the collapse of German defenses there. But even so, great distances and for midable obstacles must be cross ed before the heart of Germany can be reached from that direc tion. River Barriers Between Normandy and Ber-I lin there are such river barriers as the Seine, Somme, Meuse, the Rhine, the Ardennes, the fortifi cations of, the old Maginot and Siegfried lines, and such new defenses as the anti-invasion po sitions along the Pas-de-Calais coast. In the same way the western allies do not have the power to administer a death blow to the nazis in Italy. If the enemy s Pi-Rimini line gives way, the Germans can stand at the Alps. An allied victory commensurate, with the capture of Rome would carry them no farther than those mountains and gain the j destruction of not many German divisions.
