General Auault
Tho recent nornnw strugglo on
, the aollthnrn HummIiui front, my
Informant polntad out, li merely
preparatory action, a cleanlnii
of tha boards for Ilia major ac
tion that li Impending.
Unless tho United Nulloni
poll Hitler's game by really
erecting a tecond front In the
wont quickly and efficiently,
d hereby compelling littler to
ska largo contingent of hi
troopi and lili nir force away
from Ituiwia, this la what In
xcheduled to happen:
Tho German dictator Intends
to "finish" Ituiwia by a dramatic
lieneral assault along the whole
Una and from every possible
anitlo, Ho In wlUinK to put all
hli cum In one basket and con
centrate on thU ono military
' problem.
Hitler will, an usual, attempt
' to confound hl enemies by sur-
prliie urprle both an to tho
time of striking and an to now
weapons designed during the
" long winter of comparative Inac
tivity at tho front.
"Wo have a whole new bag of
tricks," my Informant boasted.
Termi to Follow
Onca Ruitnla Is smashed and
prostrate so Hitler still seems
to think the western world will
Ji grateful to him for having re-
jioved tha cursa of communism
rom tha earlh and will como to
terms with him,
But to defeat Russia, he must
have the oil of the Caucasus.
And ho can best take tha Can-
1 casus by plncer movement. In
other words ono section of his
glgantlo army must approach
tha Caucasus by way of Turkey
and Iran.
Turkey, Iran
"Iran Is practically ours ol-
ready," my Informant said, con-
fldently, "England has had to
take most of her troops out of
there and hurry them down to
India. Thcro Isn't any love for
' the Russian .troop stationed
i there. Germany will be wel
. corned as a liberator."
Fearing that he had probably
dready gone too far, he would
Wot comment on Turkoy. The
name of one Gorman person
slipped out, however, as booked
to leave for Turkey shortly
This man often precedes the
troops.
Turkey's position has long
beon mattor of doubt. One
must not forget that the German
representative In Turkey Is wily
Ambassador Franz von Papon,
for whom dlplomatla Intrigue Is
duck soup. Despite Innumer
able rumors of his oarly retire
ment probably usually started
by tho nails themselves to con
found tho enomy "Fronzol"
Papen has beon quietly at work
softening up the Turks.
"Protection" for Turkey
It was Interesting for us dur
ing our Internment at Bad Nou-
helm to follow tho accounts In
tho dally German pross of the
trial In Turkey of Von Papon's
Oould-bo assassins. It was ob
vious that tho Gorman public
was being prepared to realize
how Russian agents were trying
to undormlne tho Turkish state
and endnnger hor neutrality.
From this, ono may deduce
that If Turkoy decides to cast her
lot with the axis, tho day may
como when Turkoy will Invoke
Gorman assistance to "protect"
her from bolshovlsm; If she de
cides to oppose n Gorman march
through, Foreign Minister Joa
chim von Rlbbonlrop may some
Sundny morning at daybreak In
Juno or July summon tho fow
remaining forolgn correspon
dents In Berlin to tho Wllholm
strosso to Inform them that tho
' German army wns now on Its
way throiiRh Turkey to save
the Ottoman state from Russian
eommunlsm, tho British secret
rt'vlcs and "American Jowlsh
Viliigue."
Preparations In Greoct
( It Is now almost half n year
slnco wo last attended tho pross
conferences In tho Wllholm
"trnsso. At ono of our lust meet
Ings thoro, however, the spokes
man1 was positive In asserting
that relations between Turkoy
and Germany wero excellent,
Tho Berlin corrospondent for
tho Turkish nows agancy told mo
shortly before I was Interned
that ha was Instructed to com
ment on tho German news "In
a fiimlly manner." Tho Instruc
tions enma from Ankura.
Hut Germany Is tuklng no
chances. Ono of our repatriates
on tho Drottnlngliolm who came
from Greece reported that Ger
many was feverishly at work on
the Greek Islands In tho Ionian
sea building barges with which
to effect landings In the Darda
nelles. Some 4000 German
workers, ho eatlmutod, were en
gaged In this construction pro
ject, besides all necessary native
Greek help.
The port of Piraeus, ho also
reported, was teeming with ac
tivity again, and all sorts of con
struction was undorway. When I
visited it a year ago, following
In the wake of tho conquering
German armies, it was a scene of
death and destruction.
Tha curtain of silence which
tho nazls have dropped over
Greeco is thick and Impervious.
It Is therefore hard to verify
this repatriate's story.
It seems dacldedly to make
sense, however.

(IP) As Japanese forces pressed
to a point 43 miles east of India's
Burma frontier, the British an
nounced today that the largest
convoy of reinforcements ever
to come to the defense of India
had been unloaded at eastern
India ports.
Tho reinforcements Included
light and heavy anti-aircraft
guns, British and American light
and heavy tanks and a large
number of both fighting and
technical personnel,
The convoy put into Indian
ports early In May and was so
big It could not be handled at
any one port. It came through
without loss.
Tire Shortage May

PORTLAND, Ore., June 8 (IP)
Shortages of rubber and other

declared here last night. .
The director of the division
of motor transport for the ODT
told delegates to the Western
Conference of Teamsters that
when rubber stockpiles are ex
hausted, there will be no more
tires for civilian or commercial
use; that, In the near future,

Axis Power Blunted! Say
Experts. But Test to Come
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, June 8 IP)
Military experts reviewing six
months of global war concluded
today that axis striking power
had been considerably blunted
slnco the United States plunged
Into conflict December 7 but
warned that the great battles
fo final, overwhelming victory
are yet to be fought.
Virtually all tho things , that
havo been dono to dnte con
version of the nation to a War
economy, creation of the huge
and growing army, extension of
supply lines to all parts of the
world were described as con
stituting only the prelude to
the grand offensives which
alono could bring triumph.
How soon ond effectively
these offensives may be under
taken, It was snld, - depends
partly on the speed of allied
preparations and partly on en
emy counter-measures In the
present main theaters of con
flict. Fall Turning Point
In the opinion of some well
informed authorities, however,
prospects are that a definite
turning point In tho long fight
may be reached this fall; and
already there ore evidences of
fundamental changes in tho
strategic situation which sug
gest that both the Japanese in
tho Pacific nnd tho Germans in
Europe and Africa have lost
much of . the inltlntlve which
they appeared, to havo had
flu
' ni iiasiWli''r
r
in Ireland Borrows a
firmly in grasp only a month
or two ago. ,
Possibly the most important
of these is that the Germans
have been unable to start any
general campaign to destroy
Russia but so far have been
forced into sec-saw fighting
with a Russian army that gives
every appearance of being able
to hold its own until a second
front can be opened by British
and American troops in western
Europe,
Mennwhllo Germany's' spring
offensive in Africa appears to
have been held, and industries
in Germany itself are suffering
heavily from" British bombard
ment. . .
Japs a Pussla
i What the Japanese themselves
may do in an effort to secure
their already enormous con
quests in ' East Asia and the
Western Pacific is a puzzle.
As some . authorities see it
now, the Japanese problem in
broad strategical terms is a de
fensive one. Flushed with their
triumphs in Hongkong, the
Philippines, Malaya, The Neth
erlands Indies and Burma, they
are nonetheless besot by actual
and potential enemies on all
sides.
China, although admittedly
in grave danger in her eastern
provinces, still remains as a
base from which Japan may be
attacked. To the. north, war

between Russia and Japan at
any moment. To tho south, Aus-

trails has become a mighty fort
ress against which Japan's first
major thrust was broken in the
battle of the Coral sea.
To the east Pearl Harbor and
its system of satelite bases,
from which subs, planes and
task forces already have lash
ed the enemy, stands as a con
stant reminder that the eastern
Pacific is under American dom
ination.
On the other hand, Japan has
already conquered a territory
which, properly developed and
fully defended, would give her
material resources for carrying
on the war indefinitely.

Good war news was a sustaining
influence for many stocks in to

on the 3 day recovery push
stalled numerous leaders.

lectively at the start. Closing
trends were a trifle Irregular.
Transfers approximated 200,000
shares.
The so-called war stocks took
a rest. Steels end motors 'wars
the liveliest on the upside but
final gains for favorites general
ly were in small fractions. Sev
eral recently storing blue chips
retreaded under slight pressure.
A sharp drop In major com
modities, on the other hand, re
vived cautiousness among in-
and-out traders. Cotton futures
tumbled more than $3 a bale be

beans fell 4 cents a bushel.
