London, Dec. 23 = (U.P.) = In- dications multiplied today that Adolf Hitler may be embarking on a desperate gamble in an attempt to make up for his losses in Russia.
 At the moment when President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Wins ton Churchill were discussing Allied strategy in Washington, when Bri- tain and Russia were discussing pol- icy at Moscow and inter-Allied dele gates were discussing problems of grand strategy at Chungking, the Chinese temporary capital, there came indications from all over Eu- rope that Hitler might strike on Q new front in defiance of the best brains of the German high com mand.
 Every evidence of rapid progress toward coordination of Allied strat- egy was matched by signs of seri- ous division in the German high command.
 It was reported in private and re- liable reports from Europe that Vicily France had refused German demands that it enter fully ths Axis front: today it was reported here that Sweden had three tilnel within the last month refused Ger. man demands for passage of troop across Sweden to Finland.
