Since then, none of the pro posals for creating second Flu ropean front has contemplated any American participation.
 Second Plan discussed was a British attempt through Spain and Portugal. This also scarcely got beyond the discussion stage, be- cause it was figured, first, that the German army probably could take. over Spain by the time the British troops began to iand; second, that even if a footfold could be obtained 8 march across the Pyrenees to France would be too difficult.
 The only part which the United States might have played in such 8 plan was to send food ships with which to help win over the Spanish population. NORWAY HEAVILY
 FORTIFIED
 Since then a third plan for pos- sible British invasion of Norway has been discussed. However, this is also difficult. The Nazis now have ten divisions in Norway; more important, they have been working feverishly with charac- teristic thoroughness to fortify Norwegian ports and possible in- vasion points.
 The chief factor holding back the British, however, has been
 their lack of armOred equip ment. Although the British army is about 2.OO0, 900 strong, only about 750,00O men are fully armed with modern equipment. And the most serious defect in their equipment is the lack of tanks.
 Vast numbers of tanks were lost by the British at Dunquerque, a les which has not yet been re- pleniShed. And no invasion of the Continent could be success full without a powerful tank force.
 Also. despite the strength of the Nazi army on the Russian front, a total of A well equipped German divisions are stationed i'm western Europe. This is ap- proximateIy 100000 men.
 Recent discussion of British aid to Russia has turned to the Near East and British move from the Gulf of Persia, through Iran to the Russian oil fields of the Caucasus. These oil fields are one of the chief goals of the Nad army, and once Hitler succeeds in taking the Ukraine, it would be relatively easy for him to cut off the Caucasus oil wells from the rest of Russia
 Inside reports are that Rus sia, while anxious for, in fact urging British cooperation, does not consider this move in the Caucasus to be enough.

Selected Poem
COUNTRY ROAD

(Helen Connolly in the New York Times) Where shall find country road
 Lettering under Summer sky; Patient cattle, that need no goad,
 And barefoot children struggling by; Thick dust that settles on bush and grasses When a carriage and ambling old mare passes? It must run between two low stone walls
 Where tangled blackberry bushes creep By grove that echoes with bluejays' calls,
 To pasture under hillside steep, And a shallow brook whose gentle flowing Is balm to small feet weary with going.

About this time of the year, all over the Eastern half of theUnited States, the clustered Seedpods of the aAlanthus tree begin to redden above the lush growth of wide-spreading green fronds.

Leonard HurIs Well ,
But Gets No Help
In Offensive
BY BURTON HAWKINS,

BOSTON, April 15-There is more
than an atom of suspicion that
some $4,000 spectators visioned an
adequate reflection of the 1941 Ma
tionals in yesterdays opener-good
pitching. fair fielding, but no hit
ting. Manager Bucky Harris is in
clined to be encouraged off what he
saw despite New York's 80 victory.
Those Yankees didn't look so
doggcned much better than us"
Bucky was saying today as the Mats
prepared to battle here in the
Red Sox opener. "One or two
breaks and that game might have
been ours, but that's history. The
point is we looked pretty good losing
and this season they're gonna know
we're in the league
mo, we didn't hit, but we won't
have many days like that and
neither will Mr. Russo. That kid
had plenty on the ball, We had
well-pitched game by Leonard and
we're gonna keep on getting good
pitching. We may lose some of the
close ones like that, but we're going
to wiz our share"
Early Games Big Tests.
Bucky's sentences may be proved
or backfire enough to obtain a real
line on Washingtons outfit within
month, for the guys who fashioned
the schedule didn't exactly fling
any favorS in the Mats direction.
Twelve of Wasnington's first IA
games are with the Yankees and
Red Sox, both calculated to unveil
the flaws of any club.
Eighteen of Washington first "a
engagements will be played on the
road, so if the Nationals return to
Griffith Stadium after their initial
Western trip with an average ap-
preaching the 500 mark they doubt
less will be a team to watch. BY
then the kind of club they're going to
oe will have been mirrored.
Meanwhile the second season de-
out of trim Sid Hudson was being
eyed eagerly. Leonard indicated he
hasn't lost his touch and if Sid
display ed the same form here today
in opposing Jack Wilson the Mats
would have ample reason to unleash
a smile or six Walter Masterson
will be tested here tomorrow. with
Steve Sundra ticketed to hurl the
last of the three-game series on
Thursday.
F. ID. r. No Luck Charm.
Leonard doubtless will vote the
Republican ticket in 1914 if he's still
pitching opening games for the Mats.
With Mr.. Roosevelt as the honored
onlooker Dutch has had none of the
breaks Last year Lefty Grove
whipped the Mats and Leonard. 10,
on two hits and yesterday 26-year-
old Marius Russo, BROOKLYN Ital-
Ian left-hander, Stymied the same
combination with three hits.
Leonard losing close games hardly
can be classified as news, but at
least the portly pitcher hasn't lost
neart. If his siX-hit performance
against the Yankees may be en-
ployed as slide rule, Dutch still is
some shucks as pitcher and some
day, perhaps, the Mats will hit be-
hind him.
Dutch is hoping that opener was
no II! omen. He started last season
by losing, OIL, and ended the season
by losing to the Yankees, 3-4, the
18th game he dropped by a margin
of one run. He pitched creditably

Some of the New York writer's

Most of them believe the YAM
