Refugees Believe Hitler No Longer Europe's Master

(Copyright, 1943,

by United Press)

LONDON, June 10 (U..P.).—Eight men in London who link the anti-axis continental underground with the allied exile governments ex-

ssed belief today that Hitler is no longer master of

Europe.

Two years of execution, enslavement, torture and terrorism have failed to break Europe’s will to resist, these men agreed, and as allied invasion threats mount this summer the silent threat of guerrilla attack

from the Nazi rear steadily. The eight underground representatives, some of whom recently came from occupied territory, summed up the ledger of axis occupation as follows: Axis achievements—17,000,000 persons enslaved. Almost 1,000,000 persons executed or murdered. Tens of thousands in concentration camps. Underground achievements — at least 15,000 axis troops killed fighting guerrillas in Jugoslavia, Greece, Poland and France or destroyed with knives and pistols in Norway, Holland, Belgium and Czechoslovakia. At least 240 Quisling offiIs assassinated. Sabotage that slowed up axis war production as much as 30' per cent in some areas and pinned down perhaps 1,000,000 axis troops needed on the Russian front. The survey of current underground resistance made it clear thét opposition to the axis was much stronger in some occupied areas than in others, but that viewing Europe as a whole nothing the Nazis have done has been able to destroy the will to Josist in the people, 3

DRAFT LEADERS SEEK DEFERMENT DATA

~ WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P.).— A memorandum has been sent by national selective service headquarters to state directors asking their reaction to elimination of occupational deferments for men in the lower draft age brackets, it was learned today. The memorandum, it was under-

stood, did not mention any specific ages but it was reported that if such a step were undertaken it probably would be applied to men from 18—the lowest draft age—to 24 or 25. It was pointed out that such memoranda are sent to state direc-

tors occasionally, but that the sug-

gestions they contain are not always carried out. Elimination of occupational deferments for younger men would have two purposes—{first to get young men into the armed forces, and second to postpone drafting of fathers which Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey has said prob-

ably will start in August.

The standardization of the deferment policy as it will relate to the future drafting of fathers was explained to the members of 13 district appeal boadrs today at state selective headquarters here. Maj. Robert W. Platte, reclassification adviser, sounded the death knell of the “imminent selection rule” under which draft officials exercise their own judgment in deciding on dependency deferments. Charging that “too much discretionary authority on the part of draft boards had caused confusion and provoked nation-wide criti-

cism,” Maj. Platte said that decision . henceforth would follow “rigid regulations” wherever possible. Two Views Cited

Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state selective service director, said that he had called the informal econference to ascertain the “trend of public opinion toward the draft in Indiana. .He added that “nobody, probably not even Gen. Hershey, knows how soon fathers will be taken, but there certainly is a wide difference of opinion on that subject now.” On the forthcoming drafting of fathers, Maj. Platte declared that two definitions would largely decide the order in which family heads will be called. One holds that a child born on or before Sept. 14, 1942, shall be considered having been conceived prior to Pearl Harbor. The other minimizes the importance of

Stimson Also Reveals U. S. Fliers Aided Chinese

Troops Recently.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P). —~—American forces are still searching Attu for enemy survivors and, preparing permanent housing and defenses for themselves on that Aleutian island, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson declared today. Stimson also noted that American fliers had helped the Chinese in their recent ground fighting near Ichang, on the Hupeh front, where the Chinese repulsed five Japanese divisions. As,a result of American air force co-ordination with Chinese ground forces, the Chinese enjoyed local air superiority for the first ime in their long struggle against the Japanese invader, he said. Continuing his review of the war, Stimson said that the rejection by the defenders of Pantelleria of the

intensive bombardment from the air and sea will continue. most nqtable raids occurred when more than 100 Flying Fortresses raided Spezia, hitting Italian battleships and other naval vessels, docks and other installations.

He declared that officials will be instructed to defer fathers only in instances where their personal attention is urgently needed or where their financial assistance lends itself directly to “the sustained medical care of dependents.” It was pointed out that welfare agencies might be called upon to irivestigate extreme hardship appeals to determine whether drafting of fathers would actually im. peril the health of their dependents.

Auto Tax Stamp On Sale Today

“The 1943 use tax stamps for automobiles were. placed on sale today at all postoffices®in Indiana and at the office of the internal revenue collector here. They must be attached to windshields by July 1 to replace 1942 stamps. Will H. Smith, internal revenue collector, suggested that owners record their serial number so that a duplicate can be obtained in event of loss of the original.

Glen Ward Lee, state medical adviser, said officials had ordered a tighténing of the student deferment policy in view of the fact that boards had shown “indifference” in excusing non-qualified students or would-be students. “From now on,” he said, “students will have to give certified proof that they actually are entered in deferable courses, instead of simply signifying their intention.” Capt. Samuel Springer, occupational adviser, was to discuss the classification of agriculturists and industrial workers this afternoon.

SOON IN SIBERIA

With Hitler Apparently Doomed in Russia, Time Is Short for Tokyo.

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst. The impending final test of Hitler’s strength on the Russian front, to be accompanied by allied invasion of Europe, poses a problem for Japan which may result in the outbreak of war on the southeastern Siberian border within a short time. If Japan attacks, it would be in no sense a move to rescue Hitler by relieving the pressure on him on the European Russian front. Japan's motives would be entirely selfish. Tokyo's broad aims in this war have always included conquest of ‘Russia's maritime provinces and control of the eastern end of the Trans-Siberian = railroad, with the Russians fenced back probably as far as Lake Baikal. The Japanese counted on aoccomplishing it the easiest way, through the defeat of Russia by Hitler. It would then have been merely a matter of walking in. The nonaggression treaty with Russia, not worth the paper it is written on, was carefully preserved so Japan could pick her own time for the assault. Time Favors Russia

Moscow has adhered rigidly to the treaty, not because Stalin was hoodwinked but because Russia's resources have been too heavily involved in the West. Time was all in Russia's favor. Now, however, the Tokyo realists can have little hope that Hitler can knock Russia out this summer, which means the end of Hitler. Consequently, the time for Japan to salvage her Far Eastern dream is now. ‘Otherwise, the Japanese know that Russia will strike against them as soon as she is able.
