ALLIED OFFENSE New York, Nov. 1 (U.R) Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, said in a radio in terview last night that the re sumption of a ground-gaining offensive on the western front depended on solid under-footing fqr Allied forces, and the opening of a major port for sup plies. Baillie was Interviewed by Richard Harkness, NBC Wash ington reporter, who asked the UP executive for his prediction on the end of the war in Europe based on his tour of the battle fronts and conversations with top Allied military leaders. . Weather Bad Baillie replied that the Allies might be bogged down In mud all along the front as long as present weather, continues and until sufficient supplies could be brought up to start another drive. "A few weeks of hard or froz en ground and clear skies would probably make a big differ ence," Baillie said. The UP president said the port of Antwerp, captured bv the Allies .but blocked off by a German pocket along the Schelde river, was obviously the one wanted by military leaders. Antwery Big Port "That Is the reason for all the fighting now going on to push the Germans out of the es tuary so that our ships can move in and out. Antwerp is a big port and is close to the front," he said. Baillie said only a guess could be offered as an answer - to Harkness' question as to where the next offensive thrust would be. He pointed out, however, that offensives usually follow the line of heavy bombings and that Cologne and the cities be tween It and the American lines were taking a pounding from the Allied air force. Nasis Desperate German resistance Is now that of a desperate, cornered gangster, Ballle said. Many Germans are .willing to quit now, but have little opportun ity since their front has been reinforced by SS troops and of ficers. The German high command Is conserving its dwindling supply of tanks and planet, Baltlle said in reDlv to Harkness' quesuon as to what had become of these weapons. Air Power conservea "The German tanks do show up occasionally asually at place where they feel there is an immediate threat to their front." Baillie said. "Their planes appear very infrequently and usually only on strafing ex peditions. They have little or no' aerial reconnaissance. They do come over sometimes at night and drop pamphlets. I couldn't get any answer to the question of what has become of the Luftwaffe when I -was over there. They may be hold ing it in reserve. But let's not take for granted that they haven't any more air power. What they have and what is quite noticeable is Increasing strength in Flak guns, since the war from their standpoint has gone from the offensive to the defensive."
