WHITAKER WANTS

U.S. TOENTER WAR {8

Britain Cannot Beat Nazis Alone, Returning Correspondent Says: Believes Hitler Plans Fiercest Fight Against This Country.

Copyright, 1841, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Engiand, despite morale that passes all comprehension, cannot win its war against Ger-

many alone and the Greater Reich is in no danger of col-| lapse, except on the field of battle, and that cannot occur

without all-out American participation. This is the opinion of John T. Whitaker, correspondent of The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, who correctly predicted both Italy's invasion of Greece and Germany’s turnabout against Russia, expressed in a special interview here today. V “No war was ever won on the defensive,” said Mr. Whitaker. “Eng-§ land's greatest strength is 59 divisions, against 280 for Germany. Divisions win wars. “Hitler cannot be licked except militarily. It is obvious that. granted a Nazi triumph in Eastern Europe, Germany's armed power will be of a size to overwhelm that of the British. A military alliance with the United States Is Britain's only hope.” Mr. Whitaker, recently back from a months extended tour of British airdromes, defense plants, and de-| vastated areas in England, where he talked with everyone of importance in governmental and military life, said that unless the United States entered the war soon, there was the prospect of conflict for 10 or plang and fraternized with pi15 vears. with the direst conse- ; ic who are the real saviors of quences for the entire world. | Britain.

NAZIS PUSH TWO ‘PINCER' DRIVES

Ine Aimed at Ukraine Cities, Second at Leningrad: Huge Battle Rages.

MOSCOW, Aug. 12 (U. P.).—German armored forces, unleashing their third great offensive of the war in an effort to score a decision before the early Russian winter sets in, struck powerfully toward Leningrad and Kiev today, but were reported thrown back some distance from Smolensk on the Moscow front.

A battle in depth on a gigantic scale was reported in progress in the Ukraine, where fighting was on terrain suited to mechanized warfare. A two-pronged German drive in the south appeared to be designed to invest Kiev and isolate the great | Black Sea port of Odessa. One arm of the Nazi pincers was at Korosten, 80 miles north-northwest of Kiev, and the other at Uman, midway between Kiev and Odessa. A co-ordinated Russian tank, artillery and air attack in the Ukraine fighting was reported to have re-| sulted in destruction of more than 50 German tanks, two anti-aircraft] batteries and other equipment.

No Change at Smolensk

The Leningrad front, after a comparative lull, flared into action with

Japan Worried Over U. S. Goods to Vladivostok: Warned on Thailand.

By UNITED PRESS

In a move obvioysiy timed with reports of German gains in the Ukraine. Japan announced officially today that is “urgently concerned” over the shipment of American supplies to Russia by way of Viadivostok. At the same time, British Ambassador Sir Robert L. Craigie—who conferred with the Japanese along with U. S. Ambassador Josepn C. Grew—was said to have told Foreign Minister Teijirec Toyoda that the British would regard any Japanece action in Thailand as a “most serious” threat to Singapore. At both Tokvo and Shanghai, the official Japanese spokesmen gave parallel warnings, stepping the Pacific war of nerves to aid the Nazi war effort. The Shanghai spokesman said that Tokyo was vitally concerned lest “Vladivostok become the first line of American defense.” He con-

| tended that Japan could not be cer-

tain whether the supplies would go to the Russians on the Eastern Front or be held in Siberia or even be sent to the Chinese, who were reported to have renewed intensive guerilla warfare against the Japanese in North China. Very Embarrassing The Tokyo spokesman said that no formal warning had been sent to the United States, because “Japan peace In the Pacific.” He said that the shipments to Viadivostok were

pointed out, further perplexed other;

Adding to the tension caused by furious diplomatic and maneuvering in the Pacific. the Japanese ordered the steamship Assma Maru, en route to the United States, to return home and the Australian government leaders summoned an emergencyv—perhaps secret—meeting of Parliament for Aug. 20.

Mr. Walsman Knows How Hard It Is to Find

A detailed investigation of 1942 City budget estimates—highest in history—today produced at least one official who declined to ask a salary raise for himself. He is Albert F. Walsman, business manager of City Hospital. As a former member of the County Tax Adjustment Board and taxpayers’ representative, he was in the business of cutting budgets before he was appointed to the hospital post. Interviewed as he entered a budget-cutting conference at City Hall yesterday, Mr. Walsman admitted: 1. He didn't want a raise in the first place. 2. He didn’t dare ask for one anyhow. 3. If he did, he'd only, have to cut it himself. ~ Dr. Charles W. Myeys, City Hos-

pital Superintendent, is not getting a raise either. Neither are Mayor Sullivan, City Controller James E. Deery and Safety Board President Leroy J. Keach. Their salaries are fixed by statute. But most other officials, including some department heads, wrote raises for themselves ranging from $100 to $600 a year into the budget.

They explained that the increases would bring their salaries back to “pre-depression levels.” While officials and employees watched budget developments anxiously, an undercurrent of discontent was evident among some employees who believed “they had not been taken care of.” One veteran who claimed he was the “forgotten man” in his department, demonstrated how he felt by running his forefinger across his throat. “That,” he said darkly, “is what they did to me.” ¢

BERLIN, Aug. 12 (U. P.).—Gere man armed forces pounding into the rich Ukraine have at some points reached the shores of the Black Sea, a Nazi military spokesman said today.
