HitIer's Boastinq
Lacking in Latest
Speech to Nazis

LONDON, March 22.-(UP)-Ob-
servers believed today that Adolf
Hitler's strangely subdued speech
yesterday was an open betrayal of
concern over the terrific pounding
by Allied air fleets which he ad-
mitted had turned parts of Ger
many into a "theater of war
Listeners noted also that the
Berlin radio announcer who spoke
during ceremonies commemorating
German war heroes memorial day
twice referred to Field Marshal
Wilhelm Keitel, who was present,
as commander in chief" of the
Nazi army. The statements lent
crcdcncc to reports that Hitler def
initely had given up "intuitive'
command of his armed forces
"Commandcr-in in-chicf" had been his
title.

Hitler did express confidence in

tone bore little resemblance to the
familiar shouted boasts and pre-

lasted only IA minutes.
Hitler set German losses in kill

The Great Game of Politics
Poll Shows RooseveIt's War Grip on Motion,
Shelving Of Wallace by New Dealers

This is q far higher favoring
percentage than In any other
group and it rather refutes the
Republican contention that the
Negro voters, after eight years of
absence, have returned home"
Perhaps they have In Congress
sional and State elections and for
other offices, but, if the poll
means anything, not when Mr..
Roosevelt Is running for Presi-
dent.
without this overwhelming
Negro support In the big North
ern and border States, where 1t
often is the balance Of power, 1t is
clear that Mr.. Roosevelt would
not stand a chance for 4 fourth
term. This Is an unpleasant
thought for the Democratic South
whose solid electoral votes are,
basically essential for any Demo-
cratic candidate.
1t Is particularly unpleasant at
a time when the influence of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt is being
used to repeal the poll tax which
various Southern States regard As
a protection against Negro politi-
cal domination.
WalIace's Value Doubted.
AS to Mr.. Wallace, the trouble
seems to be, first, that the fourth
termers have concluded he has
no personal following. cannot de-
liver the farm vote and will bring
no strength to the New Deal
ticket; second. that his views
have been modified and that he is
now more inclined to favor the
profit system than is compatible
with the true liberal"
Mr.. Wallace did recently write
a letter which made him appear
more practical and less vague
than some of his more highly
praised speeches. But. he is still
pretty Utopian and the DISPOSE
ton to ditch him is one OF those
strange things that so often oc-
cur in the upper New Deal circles.
In this case it is manifested not
by Mr.. Roosevelt personally but
by men personally very close to
him, indeed, Mr.. Wallace's friends
are not perturbed. They think 1t
a passing phase-and they prob
ably are right.
Evening star., 1943-06-04

Vice President Wallace is now
being shelved by the New Deal
ers who some time ago were
lauding him rs q second Lincoln,
rating only a little lower than
the President. himself.
But, take flrst the poll. 1t Is,
Of course, encouraging to the
fourth-term strategists as Offset
ting evidences of a turning
against the Administrat ton given
in the great 1912 Republican
gains and in every election
since. Some will continue to rely
on the anti-Administration tide
and the accumulation OF resent
ments. Others will put their
faith in the poll, and a plaus-
ible argument based on either
easily can be made.
Chances Linked to War.
However, two points about the
poll are worth especial attention.
One is that 1t shows the Roose-
welt hopes of reelection as wholly
based on continuation of the
war. If the war is over, then
the poll and the tidal argument
are in accord as to his defeat.
One interesting point about
the poll is the revelation that
the group in which Mr.. Roose-
welt has his greatest strength is
with the Negro voters. Seventy
eight and nine -tenths per cent
Of these favor his election If the
war Is on, but 61.2 per cent favor
it, war or no war.
