Rushing Seen Motive
In Torture Staying
By the Associated Press.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo,
Aug. l3.-In a search for clues in
the torture Staying of a sheepherder
Undersheriff William MacFarlane
said today one possibility was that
the elderly victim was bound and
left to die by sheep thieves.
The body of Bert Purdy, IS, was
found in his camp wagon yester-
day in a remote gully about 1s miles
south of Hayden. Colo. His arms
and legs had been drawn back and
tied at the small of his back. He
had died, authorities said, of ex-
posure, shock or heart failure.
While explaining that it was not
certain that Purdy was the victim
of rustlers, MacFarlane said several
livestock and sheep thefts had been
reported recently in this Northwest
ern Colorado section.
Purdy's employer, Eber Howell,
noticed the herder's l,300-sheep
flock had scattered. The bowling
of Purdys dog attracted Howell to
the wagon. The dog lay beside the
body.
MacFarlane said Purdy was bound
by an expert. The harder he strug-
gled to become free. the tighter he
drew the cords. The rope was a
quarter inch cotton twist not often
found in the sheep country
The sheepherder had been robbed.
His pockets were empty, and the
wagon had been stripped of supplies
brought to him last Sunday and of
two high powered rifles. Authori-
ties, however, discounted robbery as
the Staying motive.

BY IRA WOLFERT.
The present difficulties of the Eu-
ropean terminals of the Axis have
relatively light weight in the calcu-
lations on our ultimate victory over
Japan.
There was no confidence among
various Pacific command areas, for
instance, that the CONSERVATION in
Rome was creating an echo of dis
may in Toxic. Japan is believed
to have expected Germany and Italy
to lose their war and to have dis
counted the fact long in advance.
All that Japan seems to have
counted on at all substantially from
Hitler was that he would involve
Britain and us in Europe long
enough and heavily enough to en-
able her to seize and entrench her.
self in q Pacific empire.
The japanese were aware that,
without the help of the British
merchant marine, we did not have
enough shipping Immediately avail
able to wage a war along such i'm
mense lines of communications as
the Pacific war involves. They we're
aware, too, that as long as Britain
was fighting for her life in Europe
we would not have the help of that
merchant marine and that as long
as Hitler was at England'S throat
our first task in carrying the war
to Japan must be to destroy Hitler
If for no other reason than to extri-
cate the British feet from the At
lantic and Mediterranean.
Time was what Japan sought to
buy with her alliance to Hitler.
Time was all she got and, in fact,
all she ever seemed to have expected.
For instance, the Germans have a
very good four-motored4 bomber for
which they have had little use during
the last year. The japanese have
never been able to produce sue
cessful four -motored land bomber of
their own and in the Pacific, where
decider of battles. they have a crying
need for one. Yet no Germon or
italian bombers have appeared in
the Pacific. They remain parked in
their European hangers.
If Japan were an earnest ally of
Germany, the kind that realizes the
fate of one has become the fate of
the other, she would have attacked
Russia before attacking us or, at
any rate, would certainly have at
tackled India. If Germany were an
earnest ally of Japan, she would
have continued and even increased
her raids and sinkings in eastern
waters instead of ending them, as
she did, and withdrawing all her
striking power into western waters
almost the moment Japan launched
her war
The fact seems to be that each
end of the Axis regards its fate as
being independent of the other.
What Germany wanted from Japan
was the immobilization, as far as
she herself was concerned, of sub
stantial portions of our force until
she had time to make her conquests
unassailable. She got it, but it
does not seem to have been enough.
What Japan wanted from Germany
was the immobilization of substan-
tial portions of British force until
she had time to make her conouests
unassailable. She got it, but now
the question is whether that will
have been enough.

naval officers are now answering
that question in the negative in

Plans New Routes

Pennsylvania Central Airlines
today filed application with the Civil
Aeronautics Board for an extension
of operations into four additional
States and % cities in the Eastern

The Pea application proposes to
link its main terminal in Washing

Philadelphia, Trenton and Newark
to New York
From New York, in edition to a

provide service from New York to
Boston through Bridgeport. New Ha-
ven, New London, New Bedford, Fall
River, Providence. Attleboro, Taun-

Another route would link New
York with Boston via New Britain,
Waterbury, Meriden, Bristol, Hart
ford, Springfield and Worcester. The
proposed service would provide the
only. direct service from Boston to
