Russian Strategists
Again Ask Opening oi
j. S.-British Front
London Times Appeals
For Tri-Power Agreement
To Reussure Moscow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, March 7.-Russian
strategists again are urging swift
creation of an Anglo-American
front in Europe in the belief that
it can smash Germany by au-
tumn and thus forge a shortcut
to solution Of the Pacific war.
Well-placed Americans and Brit
ish in London are supporting the
campaign.
Once Germany is disposed of and
the Axis split these persons say
Japan will become considerably less
| formidable, mainly because the
United States and British naval
forces will be free for concerted &C
ton in the Pacific.
Presence of an increasing United
States armed force in the United
Kingdom has raised Russian hopes
for creation of a second European
front.
Would Protect Supply Route.
They say Norway, especially, pre-
sents a coastline difficult to guard
and wide open for inflltration tao
tics. Moreover, the proximity of its
northern frontier to Soviet territory
presents the prospect of common
Allied frontier and protection of the
northern supply route to Russia.
Important support for this kind
of help for Russia came today from
the Times, which urged tri-power
agreement among Russia, Britain
and the United States to allay
Soviet anxiety over inadequate aid
from her allies, and over postwar
matters as well.
The Times observed editorially

called upon, with indirect and in

More Than Materials Needed.
Anything calculated to foster the
belief. however, ill-founded. that
the Allied countries are Indifferent
to Russia's requirements and Rus
sian aims would be disastrous
But Russia" the Times added,
asks for more than material sup
plies. Russia claims the right
which London and Washington
equally claim on their own behalf
of judging for herself the conditions
necessary for her own security"

Wallace Selects Minnesota, ND. and Georgia ] l942 Tops

There will be football about as usual this year, except that the sire of the big game crowd Is likely to be as hard to guess as the score and the trolley cars will substitute for the big game specials.
 That's the survey of Francis Wal@ lace, in his annual roundup of foot ball predictions from one who will play in the bowl games to the out- standing star of the year, published today in the Saturday Evening Post.
 The game will be more exciting and colcrful because 1t will not be so technically perfect, with coaching staffs operating shogt-handed and the teams made up of more sopho- mores and freshmen as a result of the war, says wallace, adding that the trend will be definitely often. sive, with more passing than ever before, because passing takes less toll of depleted Ynan-pOwer.
 Looking into his muddy crystal ball of '42--it's . genuine eight ball this year" Wallace picks the leading teams of the year "not rated on a basis of wins and losses, necessarily, but taking into account severity of schedules as well" and comes up with Minnesota on top, followed in order by Notre Dame, Georgia, Penn, Missouri, Alabama, Southern California, Texas A & M, Michigan and Boston College.
 The back of the year, he predicts, will be Frank Sinkwich of Georgia. If he should slow up, though Billy Hillenbrand of Indiana will go whizzing by him and so will other backfield greats Evans, Graham, Daley, Steuber, Governail and Ber- telN.
 Minnesota's Dick Wildung was best in the line last year and he ought to improve, Wallace says. Boston Colleges Gil Bouley might be Wildung's peer by the end of the season, however, he adds and winds up by picking the two as the years co-linemen.
