London, July 8. (UP)-Alhed mill
tary quarters inclined today TO the
belief that the German drive IN
Russia is primarily preventive
measure-an offensive defense, the
scope of which had not become ap-
parent.
The offensive was believed de
signed to eliminate springboards
from which the Russians might az
tack, as well as to compel the Req
Army to use up material when
the Russians might attack, as well
as to compel the Red Army to use
I'D material which otherwise could
be thrown into a Russian drive.
The Germans were obliged to en-
ploy considerable numbers OF troops,
tanks and planes, and to accept
substantial losses. But previous
campaigns, not only in Russia put
in Africa and Western Europe, nave
shown that the losse of the attack
ing force-however great-almoSC
invariabsly are smaller than those
of the defenders.
That is true especially in armored
warfare, because the offensive force
enerally maintains control OF the
battlefield and hence finds 1t pos
sible to salvage large numbers OF
tanks and other material, while the
defenders are forced to abandon
their machines as they fall back.
Notably, despite the claims Of the
Russians to the destruction of 1,79l
German tanks in three days OF
fighting, the Soviets also conceoe
that their lines were forced back IN
places. That meant that the Ger
mans retained control of the tank
battlefelds, with the attendant sal
wage opportunities, also that the
Russians obviously were unable TO
estimate the Nazi losses closely since
the field-in the region of their
WithdraWal-were not in their pos
session.
The German command may have
estimated the situation along these
lines: The Allies obviously are about
to launch an offensive across the
Mediterranean with Italy the ulti-
mate objective, or possibly the Bal
kans.
The Germans probably feel that
their Russian drive is likely to be
followed up by an Allied offensive
against Western Europe Those
Allied attacks are going to call for
the biggest possible German armed
forces. which can be made available
only If the striking power of the
Red Army is reduced to point at
which big scale transfers Of troops

WAGE LEVEL MUST
Be ESTABLISHED
Nation Must Adopt Anti
Imitation Measures Now
State Speakers

If the same degree of imitation
that resulted at the end of the first
World War is to be avoided. a
standardized level over industrial
wages must be achieved to divert
the disaster Germany suffered in
the 192Os, declared federal labor
agency officials yesterday at a
luncheon meeting of western Con-
necticut manufacturers at the
Country Club of Waterbury.
The meeting, arranged by j. Har-
old Madden. labor superintendent
of the American Brass Company,
and industry members of the New
England War Labor Board, after
wards became business session as
speakers explained the govern
ment's emergency wage policies to
management representatives,
The following addressed the
luncheon gathering: John A. Ho-
gan, unit chief of WLB's wage sta
bilization division, and Allan A.
Topper, regional attorney of the
New England WLB. The two men
are staff members of the agency's
Boston office. Mr. Madden presided
MI. Topper pointed out that of
course the war must be won with
out too much delay, via about pro-
duction in order to prevent degree
of initiation which would mean
economic ruin to the nation. The
speaker also added that penalizing
employers and employees is in no
way an intent of this directive leg
lslation made necessary by unwar-
ranted war prosperity.
Approximately 100 representatives
Of the outstanding war production
industries of Waterbury, Torring-
ton, Bristol, Naugatuck and sur
rounding towns attended the meet

SLUM CLEANUP

Washington, July g. CUP)-A
group of city attorneys from all
over the nation has evolved a plan
for a wholesale cleanup of city slums
and "bliehted areas" after the war.
The group, cofimprising the Ma
tional Institute of Municipal Law
Officer, urged a large-scale cleanup
through the cooperation of city
governments and private capital
Under their plan, state governments
would authorize cities to condemn
property if necessary to make wide
slum clearance projects possible, and
the cities would then grant some
degree Of tax concession to attract
private capital to do the actual
building.
According to the city attorneys
the obSolescence of old buildings
which they call Americas $40
000000,00O headache" because of
the great loss of property value in
volved-is gradually choking off a
large part of the cities taxable
property. The attorneys point out
that the old portions of city us
ually are close to the center of
town, and as the city expands the
old sections are allowed to fall into
disrepair and obsolescence. They
thus detract from the value of the
main portion of the city.
For instance, in Milwaukee the
attorneys say assessed land values
in the downtown shopping district
have gone down 81 per cent in the
last 10 years due to deterioration Of
surrounding property.
Rep. Melvin j. Mas, R., Mimi,
has introduced a bill Ito authorize
the government to pay SO per cent
of the cost of plans to be worked
out by states, counties and cities
for postwar reconstruction.
While not applying directly to
slum clearance, the Mas bill recog-
nizes the need Of promoting early
consideration of general work prof.
ects so they will be available for
immediate use when hostilities
cease" Mas emphasized that his
bill would provide cash assistance
in planning, but not in the actual
construction of projects.

DRASTIC CUT IN
MEAT ALLOWANCE

Difficulties of meat dealers under
the current rationing program were
discussed at meeting of the Con-

last night in New Haven, with Mar

resenting this city.
Mr.. Greenblatt reported his stores

1t has been pointed out the docu-

of the city's original intention.
Costs in the trial court amounted

bles and a two-run homer, good for
10 runs, while the Unnamed All

most positions, but especially around
the backstop and the Mules stole
bases with their eyes shut.
Hoffman collected the homer, O
long one over left center field, in
the fifth inning. He and Docz came
through with two hits each and
all the rest of the Mules got one
each.
Tallman, All Star right fielder
and the second man to face Stang,
got the lone hit for the losers, a
single to right field. The first and
the third innings were the only
times the All Stars had more than
three men at bat. 1t was one-two-
three the rest Of the time.
The next regularly scheduled

Mules, promise of a somewhat bet

ture, Of people dreading It's ap-
proach. No matter how bad it may
prove to be, in short, the aftermath
OF the war will be immeasurably
more wholesome and tolerable than
the war itself.
1t Is poor human psychology to en-
tertain any other view. The future
should be stimulating challenge
rather than a depressing weight on
the mind. For though the times will
still be out of joint when our enemies
at last lay down their arms, the op-
portunity to establish a decent and
enduring peace will exist for peoples
everywhere, and its knock will ham
mer at the door not of defeatists but
OF men with courage, Imagination,
faith and will to build.
In word, it may be said of tomor-
row, as President Roosevelt said some
years ago, that the only thing we
have to fear is fear itself. The world
will not be perfect after the war, but
1t will stin be perfectible, and it will
continue to make progress and re-
main worth living in If only it's in
habitants are reasonably willing to
use their brains and Drawn. There
is ample room for optimism on this
score,
