Willkie Urges
Continued from Page u


Ian, Giraud, and Vichy France be-
cause I don't believe that we can
rightly fight one thing while con-
doning another of the same stripe"
PREDICTS COP VICTORY
Regarding his own political am
billions Mr.. Willkie was non-com-
initial. However he was of an opti-
mistic mind concerning the Re-
publican party and its future on
the American political scene. He
predicted a Republican victory on
IA, but was emphatic in his views
that such would not be obtained
because of the seemly trend toward
a new leadership.
I'VE of the Republican party
must work for the achievement of
the right kind of program. We
must become affirmative and not
remain negative, throw away the
old stencils and adopt far-seeing
attitude.
Likewise there can be no doubt,
he said, concerning our response
bilities toward the great social aims
of our times. But we take the lead
erShip in converting those aims in
to realities"
AS to Americas role in the post
war period, Mr.. Willkie referred to
his Lincoln day radio address de-
livered before the Women's Re-
publican club of indianapolis at
which he said:
HITS RACIAL RESTRICTIONS
There must never again be any
question Of the right of workers to
bargain collectively through repre-
sentatives of their own choosing, or
of the fundamental right of all citi-
zens to be free of racial discrimina-
tons.
'7M 9gql oZIuSoo9I asnu 9M,

duty toward every citizen in this
land. to protect him or her against
economic calamity. For every citi-
zen owes to every other citizen
basic protection against the hazards
of unemployment, old age, accident
and i'll health.
yes these goals are, after all,
only minimum goals. Basic protec-
ton is but starting point. We do
not want a society where men are
merely protected in their basic
needs We want society of in
dividual opportunity in which men
may advance through their talents,
their initiative, and their energies.
The accomplishment of these OBJ
jectives is a task requiring magma
ton and daring.'

XAVIER-SOUTH CAROLINA
PRE-TOURNAMENT
FAVORITES

The Xavier Gold Rush and
South Carolina State cagers are
THE pre-tournament favorites
which is as it ought to be, by
virtue of their fine record during
the visitation season. These two
woodworking machines split a
four-game series, Xavier taking
two games by a large margin in
New Orleans, and S. c. State re-
taliated when they met in Orange
burg, but the scores were close.
Xavier holds a slight edge over
S. G.. State with Nathaniel Clifton,
Leon Wright, Irving Ward, Dave
Henderson and James Slavery in
the lineup, but should any two
of these men GO out via the
foul route, the Geld Rush cagers
will be easy to handle. For all
around brilliancy and balance, 5.
C. State is superior to any team
in the loop. Henry Mice Holden
is regarded as the ace, but Charles
Penn, William Copeland, Ezra
Moore and Bligen are all polished
performers.

GERMAN DEFENSES

Russians Impede MOve- ment of Enemy Reinforce.

BY ROBERT MUsEL

Limited Press Staff COFreSpOnuentl
 London, February 10. - (UP) - Russian long range guns have opened @ bombardment of the great system of German defenses ringing Kharkov and Stormowik dive bombers are making a furious attack on strong points, highways and railroads west of the city to impede the movement of enemy re- inforcements dispatches from Stock holm said today.
 The Russians were only 43 miles north of Kharkov after taking Bel gorod, and on the northeast they had taken Shebekino, only 4l miles away. Other columns were moving in the Kharkov direction from the east and southeast.
 Military quarters were almost cer- tain that the Germans might be forced back to the Dnieper river line, 250 miles west of Kharkov. A Russian military spokesman assert ed to the United Press here that the Red Army would continue its offensive into, the spring and was determined to take Kiev Russia's third city, which Is the great Dnieper anchor and the key to the German defense system in all Southern Russia.
 Dispatches indicated that for the present the Russians were likely to push hteir lines westward of the Kharkov- -Kursk- el-MoScow rail road, cutting communications, be- fore they made 6 definitive attack on Kharkov, meantime moving oH, 1t slowly from the eastern side behind heavy nytillery and airplane attack and tank spearheaus.
 The quick fall of Belgorod, Situ. ated on a hill and offering excel lent defense possibilities, amazed military quarters who said the speed and strength of the Russian drives was no forcing the Germans to re- consider their already drastic with drawal program.
 The inside information" column of today's Daily Sketch asserted that Adolf Hitler, frightened by the Russian advance, was moving his headquarters to a point 30 miles inside Poland, behind the defenses of the new German Eastern Sieg- fried line and that members of his personal staff were already at the new headquarters.
 It said also that the German prop aganda ministry had cancelled visits of all foreign correspondents, how ever friendly, to the eastern front including party of 10 Japanese due to go there after tour of in- dustrial areas.
 The Russian spokesman who pre- dicted a continued Russian drive foresaw Q series of smashing of. fensives continuing into the spring shifting focal points of attack aI the ground thawed and impedec operations first in the south, ther farther north.
 He said this year the history oi the last two summer campaigns when the Germans were able tc mass men and machines for long marches, would not be repeated.
