A committee TO check on the right
to use gasoline for driving to civic
meetings will be named for the Crest
wood Citizens Association. which
last night discussed the possibility
Of finding . more convenient meet
ing place. The association has been
meeting In Roosevelt High School.
Leland T. Mccarthy. president Of
the association, said Z recent OPA
ruling stated that driving to any
civic meetings is not necessary to
the war effort and Therefore came
under the classification Of pleasure
driving"
Cecil v. Mandhn said that be-
cause the civic groups are the only
form Of expression that the citizens
of the District have, I think 1t
absolutely necessary that these meet
ings be continued"
Mrs. Violet Hodson stated that
she had called her local gas ration
ing board yesterday morning and
had been informed that driving to
meetings Of civic groups was within
the law.
Alfred Sherman made the motion

He said that three weeks ago.

Mr.. Randle said his wife fred one

Hitler's next move: There must be
a lot. of figuring being done in Nazi
headquarters these days, so import
ant that there is probably q special
NaA censorship bureau to blot out
the scribbEngs from the high COM
mand's tablecloths before they are
sent to the laundry.
For there must be next move, a
big next move. Merely to sit tigM
would be to lose control Of a deteri-
Grating situation. Some effort must
be made to assert mastery. What
will that Nazi effort be?
It might be in the military field,
and, If so, I would not attempt to
speculate on it. I am willing to
leave German strategy to the Ger
man general staff, resting content
with the results of 1t this last year.
But then. again. 1t might be in
the political field. At this point,
the crystal ball on my table begins
to glow, and almost to bounce.
What could be the most desperate,
the most daring and the most
realistic political move for the Nazis
to make?
Maneuvers Indicated.
Let us land we know some
thing Of the Nazi method set up
some speculations:
Perhaps the formation of a new
super government for all OF Europe,
with political borders wiped out, one
currently installed, and the sudden
granting Of new rights to subject
populations.
That would dramatic the current
Nazi line to- the effect that all
Europe" is menaced by a Russian
invasion. The Nazis are thorough
in following through the implica-
tons Of = political position. An
aI-European conference" staged
with Nuremberg trappings, would
seem an indicated maneuver.
Let us carry on, for the one vir-
tue in speculation is that it may
keep us from being taken by sur
prise:
Perhaps, since Hitler's own peace
offensive have failed. there might be
an "all-European" peace offensive
against the west, conducted by an
"au-European" council. with, per-
haps, Spanish help
The use OF such facades, Of pout-
ical subsidiary corporations and
political holding companies, is an
essential part of the Nazi method.
Spanish Fascism, which obviously
needs peace to last any time at all,
might b" glad to help Hitler in a
peace drive, where it is very reluc-
tant to help him in war. A peace
offered to the west by "all OF
Europe" from Finland to Spain,
might be very useful to Hitler, even
II it only started a debate among US,

is about to be knocked out. What
are the political possibilities then?
Controlled Abdication.
Perhaps an actual abdication by
Hitler, and the setting up OF a new
German government, one which
might even publicly abandon Nazi
theology, on the face-saving plea OF
emergency mobilization against the
Bolshevik peril.
Since Hitler's current political
maneuvers have not been enough
to cause schisms in western thought,
what more logical to the Nazi mind
than to increase the dose, to take
action so startling that it must have
political effects abroad? Remember,
further, that the Nazis have always
conceived Of the last peace, even
though it started with a German
revolution. as only an armistice.
Why could they not try for Sec
ond long armistice, this time plan
ming all Of it from the beginning,
including the revolution? The
manner in which the last war ended
is a perpetual obsession with them:
they have studied it closely; they
might easily, in desperation, choose
a controlled parody of the process
Of abdication and revolution which
saved Germany from invasion last
time.
Some say before Hitler quits he
will use gas and bacterial warfare.
The crystal ball. which could, of
course, be q liar. says 1t will be

This Changing World
United Motions Forces Facing Major Bottles
Both in North Africo and Pocific This Month
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
In the Southeast Pacific and
In North Africa the American
and Allied forces are sparring
with the enemy and in both areas
major battles may be expected
this month.
The Japanese are not quite
sure Of themselves and are pro-
ceeding cautiously. They have
gathered An important naval and
air force and appear to have
built, unknown to the American
high command. new airfields in
small islands. This was evil
denced 10 days ago when Japa-
nese planes appeared from no.
where" to attack an American
task force far from any known
air bases.
Nevertheless, the Japanese
high command does not seem to
want to butt its head against
the American wall as in the No
vember engagements. American
naval observers believe that un-
less the Japanese think they have
more than a $3.50 chance-either
to defeat Admiral William Hal
sey's forces or compel them to
retreat from the Guadalcanal
area-the skirmishes Of the last
fortnight will soon be ended with
comparatively small loss for the
light units Of both sides.
For the time being, We are not
in = position to take initiative
in the Pacific. The best we can
do Is to ward OF the Japanese
blows and keep our lines Of COM
munication open. If we succeed
in doing this. Admiral Halsey will
have achieved considerable sue
cess.
laps Hold Initiative.
The japanese have the initia-
tive in the whole Far Eastern
area and there is no question
that they have concentrated in
the Southeast Pacific a large
naval and air force with q con-
siderable number Of ground
troops ready to start land opera
tons a. soon Is their naval
forces have obtained . victory
against the American Navy.
Whether they have brought
enough heavy ships and carriers
to force us to refuse battle Is a
matter Of which will be shown
before the end Of this month.
But while 1t Is not certain as
yet whether the Japanese will
be willing to engage our forces
in q major battle, the situation
in Africa is different. The Nah
high command has brought In
enough forces to gain = supe-
riority over the Allied Armies on
the Tunisian borders.
North Africa Is the only area
in which the Germans can op-
pose the Allies with Z moderate
chance ol success, both In the
military and political spheres.

ery's 9th Army Is keeping contact
