INTO NEW, FINAL ATTRITION ERA

Axis Eyes Balkans for Oil It So Dearly Needs, Simms Says.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Diploimats here who still are able to maintain fairly close touch with their capitals are daily more con|vinced that the war is now definitely shifting from its blitzkrieg phase to a new and final one of attrition. This, they say, will, almost certainly come about even if the Nazis still invade England. If such gn invasion succeeds, the British Government probably will move ta Canada, and the Royal Navy will take its é stance with - the American fleet and continue a sort of longrange war from the western hemisphere. It is for these reasons, according to foreign advices, that Germany and Italy have turned their attention to the Balkans and the Near East, If the war is to be a {long-drawn-out affair, the Axis lcountries will have to seek else‘where than Russia and Rumania [for the necessary lubricants and ‘gas, of which both are now running dangerously short. They must tap Iraq.

Mr. Simms

The German-Italian-Japanese allange is described as partly bluff against America, partly a warning Ie the Soviet Union—which neither ,Germany nor Japan trusts for a moment—and partly for home consumption.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 11 (U, PJ). —Fred the Frog, who lives in the pond under the hill below the picnic grounds at Herbst’s Corners, showed the hoys from the big city today how he smokes a cigaret. Despite a crowd and photographers, Fred, sometimes called Frederick the Great because of his size, held on to a cigaret given him by his owner Martin Walter and puffed gustily. “He seems to like one brand as well as another,” Mr. Walter said. “I wasn’t going to say anything about it until he learnedr to roll his own.”

States to Learn

Draft Quotas Soon

"WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (U, P.) — The Selective Service Board today planned tc announce within 24 hours the number of men each state will be asked to contribute to the first peace-time conscript army. Officials predicted that the number needed from each state would be far less than generally anticipated. About one man in each 40 who registers next Wednesday will be called within the next few months. Only one of each 20 will be called within the next year. In arriving at the quotas the Board has credited the states for the men they have in the Army, Navy and Marines. Additional credits against the quotas will be given for those who volunteer for

one year of training.

Leaders Back Campaign

Henry R. Danner, Indianapolis Church Federation, president; the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, bishop of the Indianapolis diocese of the Catholic Church, and Rabbi Morris M. Feuerlicht, of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, already have made public appeals for aid to the fund. Rabbi Feuerlicht said that Americans are becoming conscious more than ever before of the “blessed fact” that democracy is something more than a mere political term or even a form of government.

“We are beginning to realize that it is primarily a civilization, a way of life—a way peculiar to America just now among the nations of the world. The fundamental characteristic of this way of life is to be of helpful service to the other fellow, whoever and whatever his condition in life may be. It is enough for us to know that he is human like | ourselves,” he said. ’

“Better Neighbors” Aim

“The Community Fund is, I believe, a most notable and noble expression of this way of life. In normal times, the Community Fund ‘asks us to be Good Neighbors; but since the times are abnormal, it asks now that we be Better Neighbors. The citizenry of Indianapolis, repreédenting the heart of democracy, will this year, I am confident, as always, prove itself equal to the exigency.” In speaking of the annual drive, Bishop Ritter points out that “Indianapolis has a money-raising campaign before it which concerns every one of its citizens. It is the annual Community Fund drive to provide money for the maintenance of the charitable and welfare institutions of the city during the] coming year. “This common endeavor, representing all groups of the city, and for so high a purpose, merits our generous support and encouragement. As citizens all should be] proud to share in it and to contri- | bute to its success. Let us not think of it as something for the other fellow, but as my job and my duty.

Urges Generous Giving

“Prompted, then, by genuine interest in the welfare of the community and guided by the noble principles of religion, let us all give promptly and generously to this most praiseworthy and deserving cause.” Mr. Danner said that “the Community Fund is a means to an end rather than an end in itself,” and in his statement he pointed out the history of the Fund and stated that “through the years the Community Fund has received an increasing approval -and acceptance until it has become, to a large degree, a national custom of obtaining and distributing benevolent funds for many worthy causes. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them, ” he concluded.

masters of the Dardanelles. Such a result would be a major defeat for Russian policy, severely straining Stalin's own prestige at home. Every move Stalin has made to gain territory since the Russian invasion of Finland shows he is ambitious to restore Russian prestige and power in Europe. If he were to compel Turkey to bow to the Axis now, it would amount to surrender of this’ design. The balance of probabilities suggests that Turkey will not be peremptorily halted by Stalin unless ‘internal Russian conditions are so much worse than generally is known as to compel Stalin's obedience to Axis intentions. The outcome of Russo-Turkish discussions is more likely to be an assurance that Russia will not attack the Turks if the latter enter the war. Promise of direct support, however, can hardly be expected by the Turks, at least until they show ability to hold off any Axis offensive. Stalin, playing a shrewd game, can proclaim continuation of Slav neutrality, while holding back his striking force for the time when Germany becomes seriously weakened through prolongation of hostilities. If the Turks are given permission to fight any Axis attempt to overwhelm Greece and move against the Dardanelles, a serious strategic problem will confront the Turkish High command. Should a Turkish army enter Greece, its rear, might be threatened by a sudden German plunge from Rumania across Bulgaria into European Turkey, striking at the railway line running from Istanbul into Greece.

may be one reason for the present concentration of German troops in Rumania and the arrival of German officers in Bulgaria. The Turks would have to be careful not to be caught in this trap being set for them. 5 It- would seem more advisable for the Turks to be wary of taking the offensive. They could more effectively hold to the defensive behind the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosporus, while guarding the Turkish Black Sea coast against a possible German invasion by transports from Rumania or Bulgaria. An Axis offensive designed to cross the waters separating Turkish Asia Minor territory from Europe would be an uncertain undertaking. It might} be adjudged too difficult for normal military operations except for the fact of Germany's large superiority in the air, However, the Turks can count on British airplane, naval and military help and it is possible that Russia might secretly assist, though this is problematical. If the Axis forces were to get into Asia Minor, they would still have to fight a thousand miles to reach Suez, entailing a gigantic campaign with chances of success against them.

Throughout this most strenuous week of a strenuous campaign, it was as the man who can make jobs and who will protect labor’s rights, | that Mr. Willkie made his chief ap- | peal for the votes of the six New | England states.

An increasingly friendly response from labor groups, in the opinion of the G. O. P. nominee’s advisers, is pointing the way to an upswing | in his campaign. |
