Germany's Collapse
 Likely November 1943
Famous Military Expert Sees Possibility of Germany
 Losing Second World War 25 Years After 1918

Japan after Germany has been de- feated, however, will be consider ably shortened. Japan has barricad- ed herself behind the huge spaces of the Pacific, but the Third Reich is today covered only by twenty miles of Channel waters. Germany could go on fighting, and even win the war, after Japan has been beat- en. But Japan is lost if Germany is beaten. Thus calculations about the trend of the war against Ger many are essentially calculations of the war against the entire Axis.
 Germany is going to be beaten by the combined Soviet-Anglo- American forces acting in unision. It is lost the moment Soviet, Bri- tish and American land and air forces have superiority on the Euro- pean continent. Hitler cannot parry two-front war. In this conflict Germany's entire strategy is based on concentration in the East. It is nu1ified as soon as Hitler has to face front in the West. This is the conclusion we may expect in this Second World War: big European theater of operations, regarded as one unit, with fronts in the East and the West which encircle the Third Reich; mutual support and relief of the Allied forces in coordi- mated action, the Red Army in the East, the Anglo-American forces in the West; a joint and simultaneous Allied offensive against Germany from East and West.
 'That will be the end of this war. It is the only way the Allies can win, and the effort of Allied strat- egy will tend in this direction. This is the solution which the logic of the Second World War requires. It is a solution which can be forced by the growing strength of the AL lies.
 And now to the calendar of fur ther war developments. In the win ter of 1942-43 we shall witness grave crisis in the German conduct of war in Russia. In the spring of l943. 1 In the summer of 1922 the material superiority of the Allies will reach high level. The losses of the com ing g to 12 months will bleed the German Army white. In the spring and summer of 1943 the moment will come when the German Army, leaders as well as troops, will grasp clearly that Germany cannot win tris war, that the German officers and men are fighting for a lost cause"

New York, Oct. 5. = Germany's military collapse is likely to come in November, 1943, perhaps sooner, pre- diets Max Werner, internationally famous military analyst, in an ar- ticle in the new magazine, "Predic- tions of Things to Come" which made it's appearance on the news stands last week.
 "The critical moment, militarily and psychologically, will probably come to the German Army in the fall of 1943," predicts MT. Werner, land it is possible that Germany will lose its Second World War 25 years after November, 1918. A Ger man expression speaks of November Storms. It must make Hitler un- comfortable to think of them.
 ''The outcome of the war in the Pacific is intrinsically dependant on how the war in Europe turns out. The further course of the war against Germany can be calculated with relative accuracy. yet the war against Japan contains a number of unknown quantities.
 "A war waged against Japan by the United States alone with anoth- CT Front in Europe, must of neces- sity be protracted. The war against

ONE ROUND TRIP FOR WAR WORKERS
Applications for Gas Ra- tiOning Books Must Pro=
 vide Mileage Statement

War workers will be limited to one round trip daily to their jobs start ing Oct. 9 according to the new gasoline supplemental application blanks which will be distributed in factories tomorrow.
 The forms contain two new ques- tions, one asking for the daily round trip mileage between home and bus mess in place for the previous monthly average, and the other ask ing for the number of trips made in a month. The first question will show whether the motorist uses his car to go home for lunch, while the latter will show how dependent the worker is on his own car for transportation to work.
 In factories where there is a transportation plan, the application blank must be indorsed by the chair man of the board or 1t will not be honored, James E. Mcknight, dep uty administrator of gasoline ra- tioning in Waterbury, stated. Work CTS in civilian defense seeking ex- tra gas rations must have their mileage certified by their superior officer.
 All other workers are asked to apply at the ration board tomorrow for their applications. They must be returned to the board on or before Oct. 10. The applications will be computed by voluntee workers dur- ing the week of Oct. II and the sup- plemental books will be issued be- tween Oct. ie and Oct. 2i. The books must be called for at the board since the book number must be posted on the motorists vehicle registration card.

 in all, 4,0O0, 900 tons of scrap must be salyaged from farms and homes. An additional S,0OO,000 tons must come from industry. The remain. ing 100000 tons must come from the active M.arket.
 In just four months since March 22,0O0 auto graveyards reclaimed two million jalopies. They now have SOO,O0O on hand, and must convert half-mil1iofl a month to fill the auto graveyard quota of 20 per cent of total needs for 104S. Some 6,00O.O0O jalopies stiA are on the road.
 Meanwhile, the nationwide scrap drive Is well under way. Much of the material collected never would have reached a junk dealer. Ancient arrnor, souvenirs, loving cups, prison bars, horSe-drawn fire engines, toys bells, old cannon, iron fences, old safes. iron deer and dogs, street markers and obsolete elevators ara swelling the scrap heap. Sky- scrapers and decrepit federal bllild- ings, street car, rails and unused bridges provide heavy melting scarp The railroads alone will contribute 4,500,0O0 pounds of old rails ana obsoleta equipment.

 By next July, Steel-nlakerS prom ise, new blast furnaces will be pro- ducing millions of tons of pig iron to help in filling the gap between productive capacity and scrap needs. Already, steel men estimate, the scrap shortage has cost the nation 5,0O0,O00 tons of steel.
 America is biting into the scrap drive with will, recognizing tha urgency of the steel industry's ap- peal. To describe the enthusiasm of the salvage spirit, the Nashville Tennessean has coined new word. Tits:

should know that his ban will de- crease the amount of music that is enjoyed without increasing the num- Der of musicians that are employed"
 The pamphlet states that the pub- lie, too, would suffer, if the small broadcasting stations wree forced to hire even a few musicians. Imagine playing the Unfinished Symphony or the latest popular tune with two or three or even six local musicians of uncertain attainment" the pamphlet says. The public, it con- tinues, would reject any but the tin- est music-the music to which it has become accustomed through record- ings and the radio.
 Six Effects of the PetriIlo Ban
 Asserting that MT. Petrillo has Joined the company of misguided men who, each in his time, have sought to prevent the progress irn- plicit in invention" the pamphlet lists these effects of the Petrillo ban:
 1. If you own photograph. it's usefulness is frozen, because new re- cordings by your favorite artists, whether you are lover of sym phonic music or a dance band de- votee, can no longer be made.
 2. If Irving Berlin tomorrow gets the inspiration for great new pa- triotic tune. it cannot be popularized and made known, or become avail able to you, by means of records.
 3. The small broadcasting station which is dependent chiefly upon re- corded music will ultimately be forced out of business, and its value lost to the community.
 4. The educator who has been teaching people to love busic by means of the photograph record shissupplyabruptlycoff. u-tf1nd12S finds his supply abruptly cut oil.
 5. The people who are dependent upon the coin operated photograph (popularly known as "juke box"O for musical entertainment can no longer hear either new tunes or new renditions of the old tunes they love.
 6. You are deprived of the innu- merable popular radio programs which are broadcast by means of electrical transcriptions, in connec- tion with which you are accustomed to hear the announcement that they are transcribed"
 The pamphlet characterizes MT. Petrillo's recent orders in respect to music as ''effrontery" which would be ''intolerable at any time. Tn war time America it is more than intol- erable. It is a challenge which is being taken up by the American

By DAVID 4. STEIN

(NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Cleveland, O.. oct. 5--Is 1t worth a little extra effort to contribute just one more pound to the nations scrap drive? Listen:
 To keep one open hearth fur- mace busy for just one minute requires more than 275 pounds of scrap.
 If the Empire state building were torn down and It's 6O,OOO ton steel framework added to the scrap pile, 1t would i'll the needs of Americas steel industry for less than 10 hours.
 Toss 8698 old jaIOppies into the nations open hearth furnaces, and you'll sate their ravenous ap- petites for scrap for just one hour.
 If every man, woman and child in city the size of Boston put forth prodigicus effort and col- lected 400 pounds of scrap apiece, the total would suffice to keep the nations steel stacks smoking for just "A hours.
 400, 900 POUNDS OF SCRAP PER FURNACE DAILY
 Such figures are cited by steel makers to point out the vital inl- portance of the present salvage hunt-a campaign sparked by 1900 daily newspapers and more than 12,000 small-town weeklies.
 Awareness of the tremendous size of their task, it is believed, should bring even greater response. Win- ter stockpiles demand 17,000. .000 tons of scrap, and it must be brought out of hiding in homes, farms and factories, in cities and suburbs. Eating up old metal at the record-breaking rate of 4,500, 900 tons a month, the steel industry consumed more than 37,000, 900 gross tons in the first eight months of this year-and it still isn't enough.
 Few people have any idea of the enormous amount of scrap re- quired to turn out steel" says E. J. Kulas, vice chairman of the execu- tive committee of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co.,, here. Mate rials that go into an open hearth furnace to make steel should con- sist of half scrap and half molten iron. Such a furnace will produce about two heats of steel day.
 "A conventional open hearth fur mace with a 200-ton capacity uses approximately 200 tons of scrap and 200 tons of molten metal a day.

This means about 100000 pounds of scrap daily for only one furnace. If we can't use scrap, we must use pig iron, and pig iron capacity Is limited.
 STEEL SCRAP YARDS
 ARE EMPTY NOW
 'It requires approximately four tons of iron ore, limestone and coke to make one ton of pig iron. Therefore, every ton of scrap we do not have means that we must mine, transport, handle, and pro cess four tons of materials. Every pound of scrap which can be col- lected will be a real contribution to winning the war"
