|PROF. SCHENKER
 FORUM SPEAKER
Expresses Belief That Italy Will Fight on Allies Side
 in Near Future
-NEA Radiophoto

Opening of second front at this time would be disadVantageous to the Allies, Professor Andre Schenker of the University of Connecticut stated in forum address before 700 persons at the Second Congrega- tional church last night. Declaring that full military and productive strength has not yet been reached by the democratic nations he ex- pressed the belief that a longer war would insure victory for the Allies.
 A long war would cost more money and require more taxation but it would take fewer lives, the professor stated, and the Allies would be better able to increase their productiveness and offset the regimentation built up by the Axis powers over a period of many years. He called attention to the strength of the dictatorial nations and said it should not be underestimated.
 Calling the Allied operations in the Solomons defensive, Professor Schenker said the next major cam- paign would be on the west coast of Africa with Great Britain and the United States taking the of fensive. He pointed to the railways and access to the Mediterranean available from that point.
 The speaker spoke of the possi- bility of Communistic revolutions in German and other occupied terri tory after the war and also predic- ted that Italy would break with the Axis before the war ends and Ital- ians will fight on the side of the Allies.
 Professor Schenker who is news anelyst for Station WTIC in Hart ford, lived for many years in Switz- erland. He has studied at the Uni- versity of Connecticut, Yale, Rut- gers, Princeton, and Columbia universities.
