Nozis Reported Testing
Red Front for Drive

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, April (F).
The Germans were reported feel
ing out the Russian front for a pos
sible start of their expected spring
offensive, but chances for an early
launching of the massive attack
grew dim today with new develop
mentS.
Soviet reports of drastic weaken
ing of German spring reserves on
the southwestern front were con-
sidered in informed Russian circles
as bound to bring changes in the
Nazi strategy.
In addition, Red Army claims to
have killed 10000 Germans between
March % and April on the western
front, together with the recapture
of 161 communities, were felt to have
caused the Germans to modify their
plans.
Such western front successes
brought new threats to German de-
tenders in the Gzhatsk-Vyazma area,
directly west Of Moscow on the
Smolensk highway, where Red Army
units have already knitted deep into
territory which German prisoners
have reported as the offensive s
starting point.
Another factor which may delay
the attack is spring weather now
breaking over the Russian plains
with accompanying quagmires, slush
and mud making roads, highways
and bypaths impassable.

few hours to tie a wing together or
patch up the motor.
His old planes were bargains at
a couple Of thousand Mexican pesos.
The one he just brought here-and
1t didn't fly alone-k one of the
worlds finest bombers.
Charley could always fly anything
with wings, but he navigated, as
airmen say, "by the seat Of his
pants" and I couldn't picture him
covering the vast distances in the
Pacific without getting lost.

boys doing the fighting needed
