pact of Allied victories in Africa
and the heavy threat of invasion
being discussed in Washington by
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill.
The temper Of resistance to the
Nazis seemed to be hardening
throughout the Netherlands. The
execution of five more Dutchmen
was announced tonight, making
total of 43 since May l.. The five
from the south Holland town OF
Eindhove, were put to death after
sentence by summary jurisdiction
courts set up by the Germans aft.
er the recent proclamation of mar.
tial law.
The adrnonition to the D u h
former army and navy men to
defy the Nazis and defend them
selves against them, broadcast by
the free Netherlands station Radio
Orange and announced by IN e
Aneta news agency, W directed
against a German order to these
men to register themselves for re-
Imprisonment.
The German authorities had set
tomorrow as the deadline for the
registration.
II am empowered to say" the
Radio Orange broadcaster ad-
dressed his fellow countrymen,
that everyone who is mobilized
has the right, on arrest, to. de-
termine his own attitude.
"Should there be Netherlands po-
licemen or traitors in black shirts
who would be prepared to arrest
prisoners, then their victims are
legally entitled to defend them
selves. I repeat-victims are le-
gally entitled to d e e d them
selves.
''The cup is full to the brim. y
The exile government thus for
the first time, even by implica-
ton, advised a resort to violence.
Previously the government h d
broadcast appeals for vari o u S
forms Of ''mass resistance" but
always short of an armed uprising.
Although the Netherlands tonight
seemed to be threatening Hitler
with the most serious immediate
trouble inside his stoutly-ruled Eu-
rope, the entire continent wa
rumbling as the Axis warlords
stood wholly on the defensive for
the first time in more than 3 IL
years Of war.
The conviction was shared by
the British press and public that
the attacks on Hitler's Europe,
blue-printed by Allied strategists
long before the Tunisian thunder
bolt shattered the Axis remnant
in Africa, need only the signal to
begin.
BY these accounts, the Washing
ton parleys headed up by Presl-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minis
ter Churchill were called not to
map the assault, but to throw on
the green light for the summer
campaigns.
Ali indications from the Axis
itself were that tensity overnangs
Europe from the North Cape TO
the Black Sea. The Axis has ac-
knowledged by radio that the bat
tie for Germany is about to begin,
discounting even the more lmml-
nent peril over Italy from the
African shores, and not to men
ton the resurgent Russians.
Troubles stirred along the con-
quered peoples who hope for lib
Grafton by the Allies.

Also in Washington are Lieuten-

Although purely in the realm of
speculation, there was a DISPOSE

regard the conferences as having
two principal purposes:
!. To make plans for decisive
campaigns against Japan, and
z To make a last-minute check
up on plans already made for in

1t was suggested in these quar-

His letter shows clearly that
the boys In service remember, the
little things that make the folks
at home happy. but they are not
always able TO follow through with
their intentions. Langford said,
Il was planning on getting you

Langford gives another bit OF
quiet evidence of his life at sea
