 Britain's chances for survival are enhanced many-fold-
 The United States is given a chance to really get into mass production of war materials
 Japan, as so often is the case. is in a quandry-
 All as the result of another world-shaking stroke by Adolf Hitler as the mighty German Army and airforce are sent crush ing into Russia.
 The attack upon Russia, for all it's stunning impact upon an un- believing world, has been in Hit ler's head ever since the war be- gan. It is part of the time table by which he plans to conquer and rule the earth. For two pre- cious years Hitler has kept Stalin neutralized. The Russian war ma chine which certainly could have done Germany infinite harm if it had joined Poland, England and France in September, 1889, has been kept under wraps by spur ious pact of mon aggression and friendship while Hitler cleaned up on his minor foes one by one Now he is in a position to clean up on the big bully himself and flaunts a crippled Britain by turning his back to take on Rus Sia.
 Even if the subjugation of the U s s R will be as simple and speedy as many-including. pre- Sun1ably, Adolf Hitler believe. the new campaign can only mean that there will be no attack on the British Isles in l94l. Hitler has given up for the time being the apparently impossible task of getting across the English Chan mel or North Sea at England. While a cause for rejoicing, this turn of affairs should not be vast ed by the democracies in mere "breathing spell
 This is England's and our op- portunity to defeat Hitler. Not minute of time should be lost in celebration or speculation. Every minute must be used to produce weapons for the ultimate destruc tion of Hitler. If Hitler and Stalin have given us the precious gift of a year of time and no gift could be more precious-we must leave looking this particular gift horse in the mouth until after we have used it to win the war.
 Next year Britain with our help, which must be increased until it becomes decisive-should be able to ruin Germany by air bombardment. While the dictat- orships spill one another's blood, the democracieS must store up weapons to spill whole lot more , of it.
 One can well imagine the thoughts of Josef Stalin today. He kicked away the opportunity 10 destroy his greatest enemy, just as the democracies almost did. The German military pow CT of l94l never would have ris- en but for the benevolent assist ence of Russia in the late lam ented friendship pact of l939 Stalin made this war possible Now the war will destroy him. In the same sense, Mussolini made strong Germany possible when he listened to the blandish- ments which kept Italy behind the Alps when Hitler seized Aus tria. This strong Germany which he helped build has long since destroyed Mussolini. Today he joins weakly with his ally in the attack on Russia, though all he has to contribute to that attack are brave words, which probably were written for him in Berlin. Hitler is still using MuSsolini, particularly just now in an at tempt to divide U. s. opinion on the subject of the newest turn in the war. The Italians whoop about

The flowers that bloom in the
spring are as common in baseball as
dandelions in your front lawn-and
they usually Wither faster. That's
why few people get excited at spec
tacular showings in the early season.
But a sneaking suspicion is getting
around that the st. Louis Cardinals
and Cleveland Indians, the two hot
test numbers in the big leagues, are
riding in their right grooves at the
head of the pack.
The Indians won their 18th con-
secutive game yesterday, 81, from
the Washington Nationals with rapid

walking seven.

Feller's victory yesterday was his
fifth since losing to the Chicago
White SoX on opening day.
The Cardinals coasted to their
triumph as White held the Braves
scoreless until Make West delivered
a pinch-homer in the eighth while
his teammates banged two Boston
pitchers for II safeties, including
two-run homer by Enos Country
Slaughter.
White was the eighth different

the depth of St. Louis pitching

fourth game out of seven Western

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 6.-Bob
Feller, who does everything a
pitcher can do with baseball
except, perhaps, pour a little
ketchup on it and eat it. might be
satisfied to be the industry's finest
finger. Bob. though, doesn't sub
scribe to the loose standard OF
letting well enough alone.
Cleveland's biggest star and most
industrious worker ShameS ordinary
pitchers with his incessant toll.
Still a baseball infant at q, Bob
gets better and better because he
is a confirmed perfectionist. He
started with only blazing fast ball
as standard equipment and he's en-
route to becoming one Of the most
famous pitchers in baseball history
because he's working at it.
Fellers weaknesses were numer-
Gus. but his speed was frightening
and good enough to get him by if
he cared to let it 60 at that. He
could have ignored pitching finesse
and remained a spectacular per-
former, winning games on his swift
ness alone. But Bob wasn't content
to be just a thrower.
Works on Other Phases.
The mildewing axiom that says
practice makes perfect" is being
exemplified by Feller. An examina-
ton of his base on balls record is
illustrative. In 1888 he issued 208
bases on balls, the widest pitcher
in the league. In 1899 he whitfield
that to 142 and last year he shaved
it again to 118. He currently is in
the midst OF a wild streak. but If
work will cure it, 1t is as good as
