Both :Russia and Pinland have|
denied such a possibility, but the Finns, from all accounts reaching here, are displaying increasing dis- : affection for the war. To keep them in might mean virtually that the Nazis would be .compelled to occupy the country. . Should the defense line hinge on Lake Ladoga the Nazis would have . achieved their aim of cutting off the Russians from the Baltic with its thorny naval bases. _ Meanwhile, these accounts continue, troops withdrawn from the Russian front by the stabilization of the line would be employed in a «/ drive through Turkey and the Middle East, with the oil lines and Suez as its objectives despite the complications caused by British occupation of Syria, Iraq and Iran. . This would fill the winter months when fighitng in Russia is virtually impossible.
Relieve Pressure on Japs
Winter activity in Russia, these reports go -on, would include constant aerial attacks on the Soviet industrial centers east.of the Urals as a preparation for a sweeping spring campaign, southeast to Af-|P ghanistan and to India and east through the Urals, to junctions with Japanese troops moving in either from French Indo-China or North China, Such a program would explain hte pressure under which Japan is IF now swimming- and the obvious re#8 luctance of the Wilhelmstrasse to £ comment on the negotiations between Japan and the United States. . Insane as such a plan sounds, it is no more incredible than that the Maginot Line should be passed in a few days, that Crete should he
captured by air, or that Russia itself |
‘should be attacked. It does show clearly one of the unique features of the first two years of. the world’s most destructive war—the inability of the Nazi war machine to call a halt until it has obtained a complete victory or been smashed.

meet on an equal footing in a case like this poll. “And employees. who are pitifully underpaid like these highway workers are the easiest to. coerce and kick around like a political football, and commissioners are taking advantage of that. There is no reason why Marion County should .get away With coercive labor policies that are illegal for private enterprise. Mr. Williams ‘said the Commis- | sioners need not deliver the results of their poli to his office, adding that it “resembles a Hitler election.”. .. The union official also denied the Commissioners’ contention that they cannot legally enter into a labor contract. “That,” said Mr. Williams, “is political poppycock. The County signs contracts every day of the year with road builders and equipment and materials venders. These contracts are legal and binding upon each succeeding elected body.” He said the City of Gary signed a contract -with the Teamsters’ Union two weeks ago. The strike was called by Teamsters and Chauffers Union officials last week in protest of the Commissioners’ refusal to sign a union contract. County Commissioners repeatedly have said they could not legally sign any labor contract that would
“| be binding upon their successors or
one that would guarantee wage payments from appropriations over which they ‘had no control. The County Council, not the Commissioners, has complete control over appropriations. Commissioner William Ayers said the results of the poll would be taken to the International Headguarters of the Teamsters Union “for final adjudication.” Nine County Highway Department employees who refused to leave their jobs were deputized - as peace officers by Commissioneérs late yesterday. “We made them deputy peace officers in order to protect themselves against any at pts of violence while. they are working,” Commissioner Ayers said.

Pilots Expect Death
CONSIDER THE FIGHTING pilot who has the D. 8. O. and 20 German planes to his credit—a former newspaperman. We discussed the mathematics. of the chances for a fighting pilot to live. He had made his peace with death long before, he explained, and every flight since was “just another gratuitous day of life.” The same spirit was shown by the leader of a crack bombing squadron. “We've enjoyed having you here at our command,” he said. “We want you to prom-

Then the Germans began to drop fire bombs. My lady sprang to her feet. ‘Where in the hell is the fire bucket?’ she cried,
