Participants Speculate on|

SUES

I. Time and Place of ‘© Allied Invasion,

WASHINGTON, June 9 (U. P..

«~iThe .guessing game, now that

Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s

1 pees ‘is out of the way, proceeds (apace, hy The game involves selecting the ~ Mime and place of the allied inWVasion of Europe. : “Churchill told the house of com- . mions yesterday that it was evident that large-scale amphibious opera- © tions are approaching, but he said -dittle else. “Most of the game’s participants— at least those around here—are inelinéd to leave the time of the invasion up to the military experts.

Opinions Vary

But. the place—that’s - another Matter. ‘There are at least six schools of thought on this: = .° 1; Holland. Those who hold tha the: invasion will be here point out that it is but .a short distance from the British Isles; that the Dutch population is seething with revolt, and that it’s one of the most direct avenues to Berlin. «2. Greece. Those of thi§ school Bay Greece is a cinch to be one of the: first, if not the first place hit. Whey say morale there is high; an invasion would be aided by the dis8ension and discontent in Bulgari. 3. Italy. Some of -the guessing game enthusists say that this is the easiest road to France and to Germany. . Norway Is Friendly

4. Norway. The friendliness of the population in Norway to the allies and the necessity of clearing the sea lanes to Russia are cited by this group. The drive, they say, may be launched from Iceland or northern Scotland, or both. 5. France. This group is subdivided into those who think the approach will be from the Mediterranean, and those who think it will be across the channel. The two agree, however, that France is the best and most logical place for an invasion. 6. All at once. This school says all of the spots mentioned, along with. others, will be hit simultaneously.

thousand German troops assaulted the Soviet lines near Sevsk, west of Kursk, today, but were thrown back in bitter fighting that cost 400 officers and men, a tank and a plane. The toll boosted to more than 1500 the number of Germans killed in 24 hours along the front stretching from Leningrad to the Ukraine, in-

cluding 800 in the Sevsk area alone. Soviet artillery was credited with wiping out the other 400 troops near Sevsk., : Russian and German bombers exchanged new aerial blows Monday night. The Soviets sent large forces of long-range bombers against enemy airdromes and destroyed or damaged ammunition and fuel dumps and a large number of planes. Especially heavy explosions were observed at an airfield northwest of Bryansk on the south-central front. The Germans sought to raid Gorki, 150 miles east of Moscow, for the third consecutive night, but only two planes penetrated the fighter and anti-aircraft | defenses. Seven

Congress Clumsy,

Ruml Declares

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia. June 9 (U. P.).—Beardsley Ruml, author of the pay_as-you-go tax plan, said last night that congress should provide itself with more adequate technical and professional services “in order to make itself less clumsy and more effective.” “Congress has not made the provision for its own needs that modern times require,” he said, “and as a result has been too dependent on occasional and fortuitous consultation with outside experts.” J Ruml, addressing the Cedar Rapids ' chamber of commerce, sugested that the library of congress be made headquarters for the new services, “lending itself in a technical capacity to the needs of the nation.”
