They're a wonderful little branch of the service, and the risks they take are tremendous, The Germans try to shoot them down with ackack, and occasionally a German fighter will sneak in and take a pass at them. But the Cub is so slow that the fighters usually overshoot, and the Cub can drop down and land immediately. The saddest story I've ever heard about a Cub happened here on the 5th army beachhead.

Uncertainty of Invasion Aids Soviet Drive by Divert-

ing Foe.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Times Foreign Correspondent LONDON, April 15.—Th= failure of the allies to open the second front before now - has had the strange lefthanded effect of balling rup higher German strategy and, edd though it may sound, has directly assisted the Russian successes in the east. It was certainly the desire of the German high command* that allied intentions in the west be clarified while the Russians were still behind their own frontiers. Pending the opening of the sec ond front, it has been necessary for the Germans to stretch their forces over a wide area in western Europe] in order to be able to mest the allied armies wherever they might land.

Nazi Forces Scattered

Northern Norway, central Norway, southern Norway, Denmark, Belgium, northern France, the Bay of Biscay and southern France have all had to be guarded, necessitating a highly uneconomical distribution of the limited divisions that the Germans have available. Otice the allies have made their major landings and the Germans have been able to account for all the forces that they think we have available, they will be able to concentrate troops in areas where they are needed, switch forces from spots where we obviously are not active and in general achieve a far more economical arrangement of their total forces. Remain Clouded Until we strike, a good sound plan for the best possible use of their forces in .both the west and east will be impossible. The Germans hoped, until it was too late, that we would make our

a

"| position clear to them in time for

them to perfect a grand plan involving the establishment of an eastern defense line well to the east and north of the lines the Russians now hold. ’ Then if they were successful in containing our beachheads they might have shifted stray divisions from the west to hold that eastern defense line. Because they have been uncertain of our plans right up until now, they have not been able to shift the necessary number of reserves to the east. Now, whether they want to or not, they will certainly have to do so, uncertain though they still are in regard to the nature of the blow we are going to strike them.

Danger Point Near

There is definitely a point in the east beyond which the Germans cannot retire without risking complete, unadulterated disaster and that point is rapidly being reached. It is certain, for example, that they cannot allow the Russians to pass the line stretching from Riga, to Warsaw, to Przemysl, to the mouth of the Danube without the gravest ‘consequences. To prevent them from doing so the Germans clearly will have to summon all hands, scrape the bottom of their manpower cupboard, and in view of the more immediate dangar in the east, take a chance on grave, but still unseen dangers in the west, The moment will arrive at which allied action in the west will be of more importance than threat, which is now being exercised with such effect. At that moment, which is now rapidly approaching, threat will become reality.

GEN. VATUTIN OF RUSS ARMY, DIES

Drive on Kiev and Pre-War Poland.

LONDON, April15 (U.P.)—Gen. Nikolai F. Vatutin, who commanded the 1st Ukrainian army in the liberation of Kiev and its march into pre-war Poland, died last night at Kiev after a serious operation. Radio Moscow, in announcing the death, called Vatutin “one of the most gifted of thé young military leaders who ¢ame to the fore in the course of the war for the fatherland.” It was Vatutin’s attacks in the Belgorod sector last August that launched the Russians on their great 1943-1944 southern front offensive which since has carried into Czechoslovakia and Romania, as well as Poland. Funera] rites will be held at Kiev, radio Moscow said, and a monument will be erected there “to immeortalize the memory of Comrade N. F, Vatutin.” Vatutin, about 45 years old, became ill and was relieved of his command early in March. Premier Josef Stalin announced March § that Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov, assistant commissar of deferise, had i taker active command of the 1st larmy, which only the day before {had started a new drive in the southwestern Ukraine. No further word was released regarding Va- | tutin’s illness until today.

The Marion county liquor board had recommended that a license be granted to Mr. Underwood who is seeking to move from his present tavern in the 2400 block on W. 16th st. to the new location which he recently purchased. More than 50 residents appeared before the A. B. C. yesterday to protest. They said they had nothing personal against Mr. Underwood but they did not wish the tavern located on its proposed site because there are a large number of children in the community who would have to walk past the tavern on their way to school. Among those protesting were the Rev. Thomas J. Luke, pastor of St. Maik's Methodist church; Harold Church, 1615 Sharon ave.; Robert R.

DAV WIS I

2-YEAR BATTLE WITH SERVICES

OWI Head Gets Added Powers in Release of

War News.

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U. P.). —Elmer Davis, director of the office of war information, today won a

‘two-year fight to share with the

army and navy the power to: make decisions on the release of war news which he said would be “large and hot” during the remainder of 1944. Under a new setup announced today, Davis will sit in with army and navy officials in reviewing future decisions of theater commanders to temporarily suppress military developments on the grounds of security. ] Theater commanders, who here- |

in these matters, must now promptly submit their decisions to withhold news to Washington for review by the army or navy and OWI,

Some Success Met

Davis’ fight to publish bad news along with good has been carried on with some degree of success since he was appointed to the OWI post by President Roosevelt in 1942, Not until today, however, was he elevated from what amounted to a consultant to a member of a board. which will determine when military security warrants withholding news from the public. In a formal statement of the new policy it was pointed out that demands of security are not always immediately obvious to the public at home or the war correspondent on the spot. But the statement goes on to say that: “However, theater commanders may not always be in a position to balance the relative importance of local problems against the need of giving the American people: a full and accurate picture of the war situation as a whole, insofar as this can be done without giving the enemy useful information which he could not otherwise obtain.

Agreement Seen

The OWI chief said the army and navy are in complete agreement with his agency that news of military and naval operations should be made public “as soon and as fully as military security permits.” Davis told the United Press that the new policy on war news did not grow out of any particular “incident” but merely resulted from a series of conferences on news handling “in a year when the news is going to-be large and hot.” Observers recalled, however, that the OWI chief virtually forced the war department fo make public the surprise Nazi air raid on Bari, Ttaly, last December which cost the allies 26 vessels sunk or beached and an unannounced number of lives. Davis Made Threat

Davis, it is known, had not been told of the air attack when it occurred. When he did learn about it two weeks later, however, he threatened to issue the news himself if the army did not do so the following day. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, at his press conference next morning, announced the Bari attack and gave an account of the damage to materiel. Another circumstance that aroused the ire not only of the OWI chief but also of many congressmen was the delayed announcement of the accidental destruction of 23 American planes with the loss of 410 lives by our own guns in the invasion of Sicily. The tragedy occwred in July, 1943, but was not made public until March of this year. Many felt that withholding the fact was not necessitated by. security reasons and looked too much like an attempt to keep “bad” news from the public.

Cass Prosecutor Stumps for Rival

LOGANSPORT, Ind. April 15 (U. P.).—~Kenesaw Landis II, nephew of the veteran baseball commissioner, pleaded with his political friends today to vote for his opponent for the Republican nomination for Cass county prosecutor. : Landis ‘advertised in the Logansport Pharos-Tribune, asking voters to cast their ballots for Harry Tutewiler. He was appointed prosecutor by Governor Henry F. Schricker seven months ago to succeed Fred Hanna, his law partner, who entered the navy. He said that the work of the prosecutor's office has increased greatly since Hanna left and that he had been handicapped by a county council order cutting his deputy’s salary in half.
