N NAZIS ARE IN RESERVE

Shortening of Lines Russia Gives Hitler

Extra Power.

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, March 26.—Adolf Hitler has a ‘“strétegic reserve” of at least 1,000,000 troops—increasable to 2,000,000 in an emergency—with which to combat any Anglo-Ameri-can invasion of Europe, allied observers estimated today. The straightening of the axis line

early autumn, he undoubtedly would launch a new offensive of his own in Russia.

Nazis ‘Fully Prepared’ The Berliner Boersen - Zeitung boasted that the shortening of the front in Russia has released “operational tactical reserves, not only at the Eastern front, but also at the European coasts.” “The German high command is thus fully prepared te meet thrusts, no matter from what direction,” the newspaper said. Territorially the Russian position is somewhat better than a year ago, but there is a debit side here, too. The position might be summar-

The greatest Soviet achievement was ‘the lifting of the threat to Stalingrad and the re-conquest of about half of the Donets basin, where, if the Russians can hold out, they will enter the summer in a bit better shape than a year ago. 4. The lines west of Rostov are about where they were a year ago. 5.

Despite the Soviet territorial gains, the ‘Germans still possess better railroad and highway networks in Russia and this means that they can more easily shift troops and supplies from front to front in order to meet. any Russian threats.

“the little judge” during his 27 years on the juvenile court in Denver and on the superior court and conciliation court in Los Angeles, looked upon Lindsey as a friend in adversity.

In 1927, when the Denver opposition to Lindsey's advocacy of ‘“companionate marriage” grew strong, he was ousted from the bench by the state supreme court. The court held that his election plurality had bee nobtained by fraud in one Denver precinct. When those votes were eliminated, he was defeated.

Disbarred in Colorado

In 1929 Lindsey was banished from the legal profession in Colorado. The state supreme court held he violated his oath as a judicial official and as an attorney by accepting gifts of $37,500 from Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, and of $10,000 from attorney Samuel Untermeyer of New York in connection with his services in obtaining for Mrs. Stokes two children a $3,000,000 share of their father’s state.

Lindsey’s contention that he children, who were wards of his court, was rejected. He moved to Los Angeles.

His approval of “companionate marriage” drew strong criticism from churchmen, physicians and laymen. Once Lindsey was jailed for disorderly conduct in New York. Following a sermon by Bishop T. Manning, denouncing “companionate marriage” Lindsey interrupted a prayer with a demand that he be allowed to reply. Lindsey was removed forcibly from the

In 1934, Lindsey was elected to the Los Angeles superior court. Later he was appointed to the conciliation court.

Lindsey perhaps was best known for his views on marriage. He believed young couples ‘should live together and get acquainted before deciding whether they wished to be married. He thought this practice would stabilize the home and lower the divorce rate. But, he contended, if divorce was desired by either spouse, convention or the law should not stand in the way.

Committee Bill Doomed, House Majority Now Seeks Compromise.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 26.—Be-hind-the-scenes negotiations are in progress among house Democratic leaders for a new tax-bill compromise, with a measure of abatement of 1942 taxes, in a desperate effort to beat the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan and avert a major legislative defeat for the administration. The compromise is expected to be ready by Monday, when the house is due to conclude its tax debate. Meanwhile, in a speech prepared for delivery on the house floor at noon, Rep. Daniel A, Reed (R.N. Y.) shid that the. administration’s 20 per cent withholding tax on 1942 income without any forgiveness provision would drive the small taxpayer into the ‘grinding, grilling, endless treadmill of exorbitant interest loan rates.” “At this very moment the loan sharks are hanging around the war plants like vultures,” he said.

Cites Huge Borrowing

Rep. Reed said he had reliable ififormation that $100,000,000 has been loaned undercover, at interest of from 120 to 240 per cent, and

5,000 REPEAL 1S FOR DILEMMA

It-Is Rider on Debt Bill, Essential to Federal War Financing. WASHINGTON, March 26 (U.P). —President Roosevelt was faced to-

day with the necessity of accepting a rider to the national debt bill

shearing him of power to limit net

salaries to $25,000 or of vetoing the entire measure and thus endangering federal financing plans. The senate completed action on the bill yesterday, approving by voice vote a conference repert which the house earlier had passed. The bill authorizes lifting the national debt limit from $125,000,000,000 to $210,000,000,000. The rider, which was the only controversial aspect of the measure, stipulates that wages and salaries may not be reduced by executive order below the highest levels attained from Jan. 1 to Sept. 15, 1942. The rider would abolish the present limitation on net salaries but would leave the president still cloaked with ‘authority under the
