ROMMEL TOLD MEN NAZIS HAD MOSCOW

LONDON, Jan. 9 (U. P.).—German soldiers taken prisoner in Libya said their commander, Gen. Erwin Rommel, told them personally Moscow had fallen whereupon Axis troops staged a celebration, a British staff officer said today. Gen. Rommel carefully circulated his fabrication among his men, the prisoners reported The British officer, appearing on

KUIBYSHEV, Jan. 9—It is no barrier of censorship which prevents diplomats - and newspaper correspondents in Soviet Russia from telling the world what will be the future line of Soviet policy toward the Pacific war. The fact is they don’t know. The answer to this incabbie teresting question is known only to the Kremlin and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Kremlin Maintains Silence on Pacific War Entry

the Kremlin is silent. But the guessing game goes on and it is a game that can be played just as well in Washington and London as here. On this matter those outside Russia have almost as many facts at their disposal as we who are on the spot. The publication in Pravda, official organ of the Communist Party, of an editorial strongly denouncing the treacherous Japanese attack on the American Fleet and forecast ing inevitable defeat for Japan plainly demonstrated where Soviet sympathies lie. Since then the Soviet press has expressed no editorial opinion whatsoever toward the Pacific war ex-

cept D. Zaglavsky's scathing crit-

icism of Manila for declaring itself an open city. In news columns the Far Eastern conflict has been given prominent attention daily though reports are largely confined to communiques from various warring Governments. Japanese communiques consistently occupy a subordinate position below British and American reports and are seldom given more than a paragraph. . Public opinion in Russia and the opinion of all the Red Army officers with whom I have talked is whole heartedly behind Britain and America in their Pacific struggle. For the time being it is taking nearly all Russia's strength and resources to beat back the Germans.

Recent successes have made the Russians surer of their strength on all frontiers. But they realize mighty trials still lie ahead in the! war with Germany and that to defeat Hitlerism in the shortest possible time is the most vital consideration in bringing peace on a world-wide scale. Toward this end they have harnessed the whole nation and have little to spare for other purposes.

APPROVE BOND PURCHASE Members of the United Hebrew Congregation, Madison Ave. and Union St, have authorized the purchase of $2000 worth of defense bonds from the organization's trust fund, according to Rabbi Samuel J. Fox, spiritual leader.
