THEORISTS SEE HITLER
 CAUGHT IN AWAY TRAP
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 9. = Two views of the situation Herr Hitler now faces persist in Washington, both having some points ill com mon even if differing in detail.
 One is that Hitler faces such a confusion of internal difficulties that he can no longer pose as the all-knowing-o so successfully un- less he is able to deliver the coun- try out of the trouble by aggressive expansion. He cannot expand fur- ther without real danger of war, and war would be, his immediate undoing.
 The other is that such views are prompted at least in part By wish ful thinking, although it is con- ceded that Hitler's internal troubles are great and that war might read fly bring his downfall.
 Basic facts supporting both views are largely the same. One usually well informed source had informa ton from Germany that the busi- ness and economic leaders of the country--they used to be the lead- CTS, that is-would be glad to dis play more courage in combating Hitler if they had some assurance Of economic improvement if he were checked.
