GEORGIA MOTHER
 SOLDIERS FRIEND
Macon Woman Passes Out Over 6,OOO Dimes to
 Servicemen She Meets

Pittsburgh, April 6-(UP)-A let ter of commendation went out today from the office of Mayor Cornelius D. Scully to "an outstanding moth- er'' in Macon, Ga, who gives almost every soldier she meets a dime and prayer for his safe return.
 The letter was mailed to Mrs. R. A. Godfrey. who misses her own two soldier sons so much that she wants to do something for every other sol- dier she sees.
 Three Pittsburgh soldiers attached to Camp Wheeler, Ga, who met Mrs. Godfrey passing out dimes and prayers told the mayor of her work and asked whether Pittsburgh could do something for her. They enclosed a clipping from a Macon newspaper stating that she had handed out more than 5000 prayers and dimes.
 We have seen an outstanding mother" they wrote. "She walks up and down the main street of Macon giving out prayers and in the center is wrapped a dime. She is poor and oV AAAC aAAu HAY bWO PnAo ACSAACA OO write to our mayor and see if our city wouldn't do something real kind for this mother. She goes without to give dimes.
 There are lots of Pittsburgh boys here. Could we give her trip or a gift, or send her something from our good old town? We are sending you a piece out of the paper to prove We are not joking"
 The boys also enclosed a sample prayer, written in ink on a small square of paper folded about dime.
 T am praying for you to return safe. Keep this as a reminder to pray" the prayer, numbered 6032, read.
 Last Christmas, Mrs. Godfrey mailed 600 penny Christmas cards to boys who have written to her. She has not heard from one of her two sons since January.

Auckland, New Zealand, April G. (UP)-A statement by Walter Nash, New Zealand minister to the United States, that Allied strategy does not envisage merely Q holding war" against the Japanese today led ob- servers to believe that a smashing blow in this thester might precede a European offensive.

ANOTHER MOSCOW
 DRIVE PROBABLE
Large Scale Effort Not Likely for Two Months
 Due to Muddy Terrain
By HARRISON SALISBURY

 London, April 6.--(UP)-If Hit ler's summer plans call for new Russian offensive-as 1t Is believed they do, provided the Nazis think they can carry out the operation before becoming fully occupied with an Allied invasion of western Europa it seems likely the WehrmacIlt will attempt another great drive to" ward Moscow.
 This conclusion was reached today by analysis in London of results of the great Red army winter offensive and the NaI counterblow which captured Kharkov.
 It was not believed the Germana would be likely to pick the Caucasus and Stalingrad again because, de- spite last summers results, the So. viets managed to put In formidable winter offensive.
 However, If the Nazls could take Moscow or encircle the capital, tho effect certainly would weaken Rus- sia substantially and probably would iInmobilize the Red army insofar as Its offensive chances were con- cerned.
 There is not much chance for the Germans to start such a large scale effort for at least six weeks or two months, because of the muddy ter- rain, most observers thought.
 If the Nazi offensive could be cou- pied with a Japanese attack on Si- beria the Germans presumably would have their greatest chance of immohilizing the Red army. How ever, all quarters in London have the highest confidence in the Red army's ability to stand of the Ger mans, possibly by launching a coun- ter-offensive similar to that at Kharkov last year.
