German Officer, Captive in
Russia, Says Hopes Not
Bright for Hitler
Official U. 8. Navy Photo

KUIBYSHEV, April 21-With the
front a morass of mud and slusn,
the big armies of Russias western
front continued with occasionally
fierce, but essentially local opera
tions without any material change
in their positions.
The most significant factor in
the situation of the Russian front
is in a reported statement by a
German captive, Major Bittner, of
the nine hundredth transport group.
Major Bittner is said to have
pointed out the American and Brit
ish threat which is hanging over
the German command in the West.
The captive gave the feeling that
hopes are not bright among the
German officers for the big spring
offensive What he said bore out
previous Russian assertions that
Hitler's spring drive has now been
projected.
In the summer offensive, the cap
tive declared, thousands of en-
circled German troops were not al
lowed day of rest.

there is no doubt in the minds OF
naval and military officers, both
in the Capital and in the field,
that he could not choose a better
man than Admiral Leahy.
The task of the commander
In chief will be tremendous. It
Is difficult, even for those who
are in the midst Of the turmoil,
to realize how enormous a bur-
den this job will be for any one
man. But with the assistance
Of the best men available, Ad-
miral Ernest J. King, comman-
der in chief OF the United States
Fleet; Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, the task of
the President and his new chief
OF staff will be less burdensome.
The appointment of Admiral
Leahy as the Presidents per-
sonal chief Of staff will not In
terfere In any way with the func-
tions Of Admiral King and Gen.
Marshall. On the contrary, it
will help them learn better the
commander In chiefs ideas on
grand strategy and enable them
to carry them into effect, with
greater ease.

Sicily, Greece, Crete and Bengasi
will have to be arranged in order
to protect the precious convoy
from attacks by Allied bombers
during Its passage. Long-range
bombers have already attacked
1t at Messina, which Is but q
foretaste of what Is to be ex-
pected as it comes closer and
closer to the Allied bases in the
Nile delta.
Must Take Short Route.
1t would, Of course, be much
easier and safer II the convoy
could use the customary route
around the western end OF Sicily,
thence across to the Tunisian
coast and down that coast, hug
ging the shore. into the harbor OF
TripoH. But the pressure Of time
and the urgency Of Rommel's
need forbid this procedure.
The reinforcetnents could not
reach the beleaguered marshal
quickly enough by the long haul
over the desert road from Tripoli
to Alamein,. especially as the
truck columns would be harassed
by the Allied aircraft every yard
Of the way. It is a bold stroke
now that Is needed to meet the
situation, with the supplies and
