There was nothing wrong with those troops. They were no greener In bat tle than their generals. Every report agrees they fought well. There were just too few of them at the particular point In the line where the surprise ntioplr Wfl marti hi V V STt"! Troops Just as green did all Tly right on Guadalcanal, in New uuinea, ana a i midway. Furthermore, their nazi ad versaries this time were sup posed to be exhausted and de MAILON moralized after a 1500 mile retreat. Th official militarv viewpoint here does not attempt to place the responsibility In such a remote Quarter. What happened on that front Is explained here like this: Our heavy forces were concentrated at the northern end of the line for a promised attack upon the Germans. The southern passes which we had recently taken over from the French, were lightly held. The crafty nazis concentrated there a local superiority of planes and two armored divisions for a typical German thrust They had good roads leading back to coastal bases, whereas our much longer communications rambled circuitously back through the hills. They could and did throw power in faster than we could. Ready to Spring AN EXTRAORDINARY phlegmatic attitude toward the set-back has been noticeable, not only in Berlin, but in Algiers and Wash ington as well. Our official confidence is no doubt due to our superiority in planes, tanks, and men, from the northern tip to the southern, as a whole. Churchill said allied forces on both sides of the front (including the British eighth army) num bered 900,000 against 250,000 Germans. You may have noticed our command did not . rush superior reinforcements into the breach, but kept its troops placed largely where they were in preparation for our promised attack. From this, you would judge, our attack is still organized and ready to spring, despite the Ger man diversion effort. Berlin's failure to propagandize the success may be attributed to the fact that this is a mall story In Berlin, compared to what is happening on the Russian front. It Is our first land engagement in the eastern theatre of - OF KFPA SEEN IN BILL WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 A bill of $4,852.54 to reimburse several fire protection- agencies in southern Oregon has been ap proved by the house and sent to the senate.

It may prove true that Rommel has attempted more than a local diversion thrust and is bent on annihilation of our forces in all Tunisia, before he turns to meet the British on the He has possibly a week or more to try this. The British have just arrived at the line and are several weeks away from us by any yardstick. Such a desperate, unorthodox strategy could logically be expected of a trapped and crafty nazi general. Also, Hitler might well attempt a simultaneous march down through Spain to Gibraltar where he could cut our best sea tine of supplies. Certain little un-mentionable de velopments within Spain might possibly be in terpreted in furtherance of this belief. Battle here has been able to read such interpretations into the troop movements they are able to see. Hitler prac tically denuded the Russian front of planes for this campaign, but no report suggests he has withdrawn any substantial number of fight ing men or quantity of other material. If he has no more than 250,000 men in North Africa, he certainly has not switched his war the Russian front. Less than 150 'nazi tanks appeared in the whole first week of the southern Tunisia op erations. The whole series of North African battles has been unorthodox. Nothing exactly like them can be found anywhere in history. Our line actually hung in the air on its southern extremity for several months in such a way as to make many amateur military observers (including this columnist) jittery in expectation of just such an attack. It seemed unwarranted to expect Rommel to wait to be overwhelmed. On January 21, this column, dated the previous day, raid: "Some amateur strategists think Rommel may cut straight west through Tunisia and attempt to fall on our flank and rear." Military men said our line had an anchor. If so, it was an invisible one resting on toco graphy, because nazis were beyond our flank. Apparently, military men just trusted that Rom mel's army was too weak after its long flight to turn on us, or for other reasons did not reinforce the southern passes. There was a famous occasion when Stonewall Jackson defeated two armies by keeping them apart and attacking one at a time, early in the Civil war, but he had not' retreated '1500 miles. Sound Interpretations, as well as the placlngs of responsibility, must, however, await immin ent developments. Oregon State unit and Western Lane Forest Protective associa tion."

FRYE WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (If) This is the story of an army plane that flew 2000 miles with no one aboard. Dubbed a Flying Dutchman of the skies today by astounded airmen, she reversed course and flew by herself to crash in Mex ico after her crew and pas sengers bailed out because tail flutter vibrations threatened to tear the ship apart in the air over Florida waters. Two men are missing Sec ond Lt. Bernard A. Brannon of Chattanooga, Tenn., the assist ant navigator, and Private Stan ley Gutowski of Bayonne, N. J., the radio operator. But to start at the beginning: The four-engined C-87, cargo version of the consolidated Lib erator bomber, took off the night of February 9 from south ern Florida on a routine flight to South America. Aboard were the crew of six, two passengers, and considerable cargo. The plane was HO miles out when the passengers, Second Lts. C. K. Knutson of Des Moines, Iowa, and A. E. Lloyd of San Diego, notified the pilot that a bad flutter had developed in the tail. Losing altitude rapidly, the Diane dropped from 8000 to o,' 300 feet, while the crew and passengers jettisoned the cargo in an attempt to stop tne vi brations. Insteaa, the vibrations In creased and the pilot. First Lt, R. C. Ulmer of Atlanta, fight ing to keep the nose up and the plane in level flight, turned back toward Florida and order ed the others to prepare to bail out, since a safe landing ap peared impossible. When Ulmer thought he was over the coast, he ordered the others to use their parachutes, Then he headed the plane out to sea, set the automatic pilot for level flight so the craft could not become a menace ashore, and bailed out. The men came down in coast al waters. Each waB equipped with a "Mae West life preser ver, but Brannon is unaccountr ed for, and Gutowski lost his preserver while detaching his parachute in the water. Lloyd swam to him and held him up for about three hours,, but the radioman, ill from swallowing sea water and no longer able to swim, disappeared when Lloyd himself was seized with cramps and lost his hold on Gutowski. The coast' guard rescued Lloyd, Knutson, Ulmer, First Lts. C. W. Hauth of Baltimore, the co-pilot, R. H. Blgby of Lansing, Mich., the navigator; and Private K. J. Riddle of Nut. ley, N. J. Shortly after noon the next day Mexican authorities report ed a C-87 had crashed in the mountains of northern Mexico report which gave the air transport command a first-class mystery for several days, be cause no such plane was sup posed to be in that part of the world.
