So long a fighting on the
Eastern front remains localized

bearing on the outcome Of the
war, military analysts point out
Should Italy be threatened by
invasion, however, Germany
would find Il necessary ia

Italy, they said.
A beaten Italy, it was added,
means British bombers operating
italian airfields and British
troops In the Bremen Pass.
The military advantages which
Britain would derive fro m
knocking italy out Of the war
would be equalled by political
gains, these observers contend,
strengthening British prestige in
the Balkans and giving new
spirit to nations now under Ger
many domination.
Neutral military men said how
many troops Germany would
have to send into Italy to make
her formidable enough to resist
invasion successfuily-or even to
salvage her armies from North
Africa and Albania-is q subject
of conjecture.
They point out that after Cap
oretto-where the Italians suf-
fered a smashing defeat at the
hands of the Austrians In the
World Wharf.-The British sent
three army corps totaling about
100000 men and France sent
hundreds of guns to hold Italy
for the Allies.
Even the Germany army hard
ly could divert that many men
to Italy without hating plans
for an invasion of Britain, these
analysts believe.
Moreover, should events reach
the point where Germany would
find herself impelled to rush aid
to Italy to save her Axis partner
from outright invasion, it il
pointed out, she scarcely would

Mediterraneans to challenge Bri-
fish naval superiority there.
Neutral military men agree
that any attempt by the British
to shift the main theater of war
from the western to the eastern
front would be bold and ambi-
tious move.
They recall, however, that the
man now directing Britain's war
strategy is the same as Winston
Churchill who conceived SINH.
larry ambitious plan during the
world war-the Allied attack
upon the Dardanelles.
In his writings he still stoutly
maintains that his original plan
would have worked had the
army and navy listened to him
They have to listen now.

Arlington Board
Authorizes New
Apartment
Area in Borcroft
Zoned for $4,000, 900
Housing Project

The Arlington County Board today
paved the way for construction of
100000 apartment housing
project on Columbia pike In Bar
croft by rezoning five blocks from
residential A to residential B.
Approximately 900 units, to care
for an estimated $500 persons, are
involved in the project. Represent
atives of the rezoning petitioner,
Thomas Delashmutt of Arlington,
said construction would probably
start this spring.
The board authorized publication
of advertisements for a proposed
change in the zoning code to pre-
vent future erection of two-story,
wooden frame and unprotected
metal-frame apartments. Under
proposed amendment, sections and
6 of the building code would be
entirely eliminated, having the
effect of making legal only flreproof
or semifreproof apartments.
Parkway Property Sold.
Arlington County entered into
contract with the Federal Govern
ment for sale of property bought
from the Smoot Sand & Gravel
Co., for extension of Unit 2 Of the
George Washington Memorial park
way. parallel to the Potomac River.
Chairman F. Freeland Chew signed
the contract to give the Smoot Co.
s45, ,698 and authorizing resale to the
Government for S52,454
Originally the county supplied
Sac, 1000. the State supplied an equal
amount and the Federal Govern
ment supplied $4,000 for construc-
ton of this unit of the parkway.
As different tracts of land are pur-
chased for extention of the park
way, board members explained, the
county receives some of its original
contribution back on resale to the
Federal Government.
Plan Housing Registration.
County Manager Frank C. Han
rahan reported to the board he was
about to open an office for registra-
ton of availability of housing IA
cilities in Arlington. He said WASH
ington and Maryland would open
similar Offices at the same time. Gov.
Price some time ago appointed Mr.
Hanrahan chairman of a committee
to survey housing facilities in the
county
Mr.. Hanrahan said the money for
establishment of these registration
Offices would probably be raised by
public subscription. He told the
board, however, he might have to
solicit an appropriation from the
county if the subscription falls short
of actual needs.

the need for more Office space, pub

the location at which this appro-
priat;on is to be used. The Budget
Bureau estimate, however, specifies

reliable sources indicated it may be
for the recently discussed projects
in nearby Arlington County.

fifth supplemental defense bill, and

said the committee was told the
temporary Office buildings are to be
two stories high, without elevators
ana designed to last six or seven
years.

Congress, Budget Director Harold D.
Smith wrote:
In view of the requirements for
additional Office space due to ex-
pansion of those Government, es-
tablishments charged with defense
activities and to the impossibility
of renting suitable Office space, it
becomes necessary to make provision
to meet these requirements by the
building of temporary structures.
