TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE frlday. Jan. it. 194$ E IS NAZI PLAN FOR Try to Concentrate Strength on Front Southeast of Vienna North to Baltic. Br Tied Scherff United Press Correspondent Washington. Jan. 28. U.fi) Military quarters said today it is becoming increasingly clear that the Germans plan to meet Russia's great winter offensive by concentrating all available strength on a shortened oeiense line beginning southeast of Vienna and extending north to the Baltic sea. Such a battle line would cut in half the length of the present eastern front, which has its southern flank in the Lata Bala ton region and extends more than 1,000 miles to Tilsit. Best Terrain ' Experts here said concen tration of. strength in the 500 mile Vienna-Baltic Una offered the German army its only possi ble chance of stemming the red advances. The best defensive terrain left the enemy is to be found along this line. If the Germans are abl to take advantage of the geograph ical feature, the front will run east of Vienna to protect that city from capture. It then would extend through the rough Bes- kid and Sudeten mountains to the Silesian and Pomeranian plains where parts of the Oder river and numerous lakes could ba incorporated into its defen sive features. The northern flank en the Baltic sea would prob ably be in the region of the city of Kolberg. The front would pais about 90 miles east of Berlin. It was noted that the'wehr macht stopped the last Russian , offensive by similar shorten ing of its defense line. The same was true In the western front when the Nazis found they could not hold France and the low lands. Affect East Front When the Germans adopt this line for a probable desperate last ditch stand, it was said, they will be forced to make adjust ments to the eastern front in southern Europe. Although these might not be necessary immedi ately, some sort of defenses i would be called for in the Adri atic sea area to protect the east flank of the enemy divisions fighting in Italy-l-at least until it it decided whether or not to withdraw then to more easily defended positions In the Alps. Thii was held as possible in view of the urgent need for troops on more vital fronts. , New proof of Germany's criti cal shortage of troops and its fear of the Russian offensive ' came with the disclosure that soma Nazi divisions are ' being hurriedly pulled out of the west ern front. k American airmen within two days reported attacking 165 German trains attempting to travel toward Hamburg and Dusseldorf. These are enough, if closely packed, to carry three Infantry divisions. . The fact that they were trav eling by day, a risky venture, is considered still another indica tion of the seriousness with which the Nazi high command views the red drive. ARTESIAN FLOW FOUND ON GLEN OAK COURT An 81 -foot artesian well brought in last week on the C. T. Blsmark place at the end of Glen Oak Court, just off East Main street, is reported flowing at the rate of a gallon a second. The well, apparently tapping a flow coming down from Roxy Ann, is said to have a pumping capacity of 4,000 gallons an hour.
