RED ARMY
CONTINUES
ADVANCING
Clears 27O-mile Long Rail
way Area--New Threat
on Three Cities

MOSCOW, March 5.-Striking out
of Rzhev, the Russians have recap
tured scores OF towns southwest and
completely cleared the 270-mile long
railway between Moscow and Velikie
Luki with the occupation OF Olenino,
35 miles west of Rzhev.
This action, coupled with limo
shenkos forces on the northwest
front and advances of the Red Army
columns northwest of Kharkov, in
creases Soviet successes and also
increased the threat on the German
positions at Oeel, Bryansk and
Konotop.
The Red Army is only 10 miles
from the Latvian border, a short
distance from the north and south
railway lines over which the Ger
mans supplied the northwest front
in the Lake linen sector.
In other announced gains, the
Russians drew near the railway over
which the Germans shuttled sup
plies between the southern and CEN
trail front bases.

100000 highway to Alaska through
Canadian territory is recommended
by Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes in a letter to Chairman
Robinson of the House Roads Com
mittee

road would join the Alcan High
way at Whitehorse, following the
route recommended by the Alaskan
International Highway Commission.

mond who explained that Ickes said
the route would afford a direct line
of communication between Seattle

expanded to serve coastal points
which would afford transportation
facilities for equipment and supplies
required for the highway construc-
ton.

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-The State De-
partment isn't announcing it, but
several diplomats from the smaller
European states-in addition to
Finland-are coming in to express
worry over Russian victories. These
have : their cake and eat =
it too diplomats want Hitler to
be defeated, but don't want Rus
STA to win.
Some of the State Department
boys, among them Assistant Sec
rotary Adolf Berle, secretly agree.
Best answer to this fear was ex-
pressed inadvertently by Soviet AM
bassador Litvinoff in talking with
q prominent businessman from the
middle west Litvinoff asked him
what people in that part OF the
country thought about Russia.
I'm going to be perfectly frank
with you," replied the midwestern-
er. People in my part Of the
country admire the great fight
Russia has made against Germany
and they have the highest praise
of your Army. But they fear the
spread of communism after the
war;
Ambassador Litvinoff replied
thoughtfully that there was no
ground for such fears, that all
Russia wanted to do was to defeat
the Axis as quickly as possible, then
live in peace within her own boun-
daries
However added Litvinoff, IF
the fear of Russia in western Eu-
rope really worries you, there IS
one very easy way to dispose OF
it."
What is that?" asked the gentle
man from the west.
THE American and British armies
should march into Berlin first"

Representative Bradley, Republic

Senators and five House members

However, Senator Aiken said he
thought that if the agenda are fol-

have that the conference will go
into matters reaching beyond the

mitments will be made there"
Grange Head Apprehensive.
Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange, commented that the
subjects listed on the agenda open
up questions of trade, tariffs, inter-
national finance and many other
problems and added:
1T is the responsibility of Con-
gress to determine our policies on
such questions. The President him.
self has no authority to speak for
Congress, and certainly cannot ap-
point delegates with more author
ity than he possesses
Mr.. Goss said that he was appre-
hensive that the expression Of the
conference delegates may be con-
sidered the expression of their gov
ernments. This danger is enhanced
if the sessions are held in secret"
"In a democracy we are entitled
to know what our representatives
say in such conference. The fact
that it is planned to discuss issues
involving vital policies behind closed
doors is disturbing. I know of no
justifiable reason for such a pro-
cedure."
