LONDON, July 20 (UP) yuc.stinn No. 1. How much longer will the war in Europe last? Until the true facts alroiit the revolt of th»‘ German generals are known, that question can't tie answered dinectly with n y eonfidenci . But it can be said that nsponsibli quarters ’have bei n ri rjtoriing f*ir many werks with the probability that Germany can in smashed by Christmas and they fori see a possible combination of rircumstanccs which would produce the collapse much sooner say September Everything occtiring the past fortnight has pointed up tte se po-sibii Itles. Hire Russians have batten I

Ifitler's east front into a pulp and ire nearing the Wisla (Vistula) river to bring the war to Germany's door step. Their momentum has become o great that bringing them even temporarily to a halt requires a superhuman effort. The Germans in this fifth year of war are not super human. If Germany goes down to qu o; defeat this summer, there will be no piestion as to whom the ch ef credit will go. Jt will belong to the Red army. Other factors are important ton. liritish and American land power ir. Normandy has grown to a point where if it could hurst decisively ou! if the narrow confines of the Norman Peninsula it would be extremely uiril to halt with the reserves Rommel has available. And there is the obvious snift of Turkey toward belligerency. And there is the sudden domestif • ns’s .aside Germany, whidh, whatever the true facts, can do nothing but weaken the reich and hasten collapse. Even German morale which will one day class as the one great phenomena of this war, cannot stand that sort of thing very long. That is what makes it so unfortunate that the Allies are not surging forward from the west as the Russians are fnim the east. Question No. 2: Why don't the United States and (Treat Britian launch an offensive from the Norman bridgehead comparable in inti si ty to the Russian offensives? Only high military authority could answer that question with ptritcation aivl it may be that such in offensive is inpending. That one hasn't been launched so far may reiilt in failure to exploit Germany's internal crisis and her defeats in the east. Such an offensive, if it produced a breakthrough toward Paris and there is every reason, to believe that a major victory in Normandy might make the capture of Paris comparatively easy could well prove decisive in bringing the rickety third reich of Adolf Hitler clashing to Ch-’ ground. Except in the push up the Cherbourg Peninsula, however, the Allies haven't developed the crushing momentum necessary to carry them through or over Rommel's deeply staggered defenses. Their attacks have showed a tendercy, for one reason or another, to bog down after the most methodical sort of preparation and an extremely favorable start. Question No. .'!: What is the secret of the great Russian successes? The answer lies partly in the i superb coordination of the Russian command, from Stalin down through the exceptional officers which three years of constant campaigning have

! ernor Schricker takes action to stop

brought to the fore.

It lies partly in Russia's great' gambling in his home town, resources, manpower and industry, Goar circled the capitol yesterday and in the flow of American assault j with a light truck bearing signs acweapons and vital supplies. cusing the governor and State Police It lies in the great si2k of the Rus- j Superintendeenf Don F.

for any to hold gains deeply and ir. great strength .is German commai..'t ers can do in Italy or Normandy. This puts big premiums on initiative

which the Germans on:i had and the Russians now have neld (or over a year because the aHacker can mass assault troops where he wants. And finally it lies in the Russian readiness to go bald-headed for ary objective they consider v/orth attacking flanking it, thanks to great areas for maneuvering, or dorming it frantically and accepting whatever losses they must. Russia paid a very heavy price for the vic‘eries of 'he past 12 months. Question No. 4: Just how bad is !he robot bombing of Dondon? The best answer to that isChurchill kept the attacks just about at their proper proportions ir. his commons speech. Since then the Germans have been straining every nerve to increase the tempo and the British have tried to increase the effectiveness of a complicated defense system. I had two weeks of flying bombs i before leaving London. Returning, j there was no question in my mind that London is taking this attack less well than it did the great blitz of 15)40. People are more nervous, definitely more annoyed The city looks more down at the heel than it did Urn in Juno. Rut it fs perfectly clear that oo flying bombs or "V-2's” or any other weapons Hitler is likely to produce will break London down. To an extent that it has forced a diversion of Allied airpower to assults on launching sites or production centers, and to (he detense of southern, England, the flying homo has been a success. But its total military effects still is small, and if any tendency existed in England to adopt “soft'' post war attitude toward Germany, flying bombs have taken good care of it. PH KKTS STATEHOI SK INDIANAPOLIS, July 26 (UIP) - Howard Goar, Muncie bricklayer, threatened today to picket the statehouse "until Christmas" unless Gov-

The bricklayer ran afoul of Muncie police two months ago after his signladen truck had picketed establishments in which Goar insisted thal

Shortly afterward, he filed suit for $25,000 against the Muncie police chief and two other officers, claiming that they had damaged his s.gns and held him illegally in temporary cus-

tody.

Have a Coca-Cola =Viva! (YEAH MAN!)

... or being the good neighbor in Brazil

Your American’s good-natured invitation Have a “Coke" is a good-neighbor policy in three short words. It marks that brand of friendliness which ..ur fighting men carry with them everywhere among our Allies. In many lands from Alaska to South Africa, Coca-Cola is spreading the custom of the pause that refreshes, — that refreshing moment devoted to just being friendly. Enjoy it at home, too, with frosty Coca-Cola from your own refrigerator.
