WASHINGTON.-It should sober
and humble us all to reflect on
the Russian progress on the east
ern front. So far as ground fight
ing is concerned, that is where
the German army is taking its
real punishment. Our Army peo-
pie, far more than the rest of us,
can appreciate what Russia is do
ing toward smashing the enemy.
1t should make us less boastful,
and more willing to be cooper
alive in what we hope to do after
the war. Russia will expect to be
listened to with the same respect
to which we feel entitled.
The Germans have about 300 d.
visions. Most of them are fight
ing the Russians. Without Russia,
so some of our military people
say, the odds would be four or
five to one against us.
In Sicily the real resistance
came from the Germans. Although
Italians had a dozen divisions in
Sicily, they were of little value.
Last summer l saw hundreds of
surrendering Italian soldiers
march peacefully down the road.
But the Germans fought it out
They had only three and half
divisions in Sicily. We had the
two best armies of the United
States and Great Britain, with a
total of Is divisions. AS 1t Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney, deputy chief
Of staff, told recent conference
at the War Department., it took
us five weeks to win, although the
enemy's air cover had been re-
moved and his supply lines had
been paralyzed by overwhelming
Allied air superiority.
Today in Italy there are some
thing more than 20 divisions
against us and it may take us
three or four months to complete
our campaign.
General McNarney says that at
present, Germany is capable of
opposing any attack on her vital
fortress with at least 10 times the
force she had in Sicily.
American and British effective
ness at this stage is more in the
air. In Italy, whatever advantage
Germany may have on the ground
is overcome by Allied superiority
in the air.
Information is released from the
Eighth Air Force Fighter Com
mand in Britain that American
fighter plane strength there will
be almost doubled in the next two
months. Many of the new planes
will be the long range twin-tailed
Eighth al force. Their Lightnings
had Just been taken to North Afri-
ca last summer when I was in
England and the bomber crews
were fl ling the absence of the
fighter escort. The Thunderbolts
which replaced the Lightnings are
remarkable fighters but not good

company effectively the h avy
bomber missions into Europe. This
as Air Force officers put it, will
bring the whole Ruhr valley with
in the American fighters ballpark. ,
All of which will tend to reduce
bomber losses which have become
disturbingly heavy recently.
1t is fortunate that we can bring
this additional protection into play
because bombing must be our big
weapon for a while.
If it is to be some months be-
fore the big Anglo-American drive
can be expected, the hope for the
winter is that bombing from Eng
land and from Italian bases can
be increased. With German. arm

Those Wonderful Germans

When the Star recently announced the Ger
mans had sent reinforcements from Siberia
to 4ugoslavia, we were, to put it mildly, sur
prlsed. 1t would be interesting to learn next
how they got into Siberia, what they were
doing there, and how they made the long
journey to the Balkan front without detec-
ton. Maybe they had a magic carpet.

161 Pei. Turnover Reported
In Building Emy|oyes Here

A turnover of 1911 per cent
among District Office and apart
ment building employees took place
in the fiscal year ending February
IS. according to a survey just re-
leased by the Building Owners and
Managers Association.
The survey made at the request
Of the Regional War Manpower
Commission revealed that the high
est turnover, 1887 per cent was
among office building workers and
among apartment house employees.
1929 per cent. The study covered
19 office buildings and So apartment
houses normally employing l,O64
people, or about 10 per cent of all
such workers in Washington. At the
present these buildings are 81 per
cent understaffed.
The association says that it esti-
mates the turnover at the present
Is about 200 per cent. In one case
the turnover was 4506 per cent
among 73 employees.
One of the leading causes, accord
Ing to the report is the prevailing
low wages in this group. The asso-
citation says that applications to the
War Labor Board for permission
Ito increase wages of our people
have almost uniformly been turned
down"
One solution, the study suggests,
Is the deferment of men in the 18

Mr.. Spear was quoted IN the Rich
