Events During Next Few Months to Determine Fu.
 ture Nazi Plans NEW RED OFFENSIVE :.
 NOT PROBLE BENEFICIAL Newspaper Claims Ger. many Fully Prepared to Meet All Allied Thrusts
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff CorrespondentD

 London, March 26.-(UP) = Adolf Hitler has a "stra- tegic reserve" of at least 100000 troops - increas- able to 100000 in an emer- gency - with which to com bat any Anglo-American illa vasion of Europe, Allied ob-l servers estimated today. The straighteniEg of the Axis lino in Russia under pressure Of The Soviet winter offensive will release 1000. 900, men, these sources said, and twice that number could ba spared should the Germans decide to shorten their lines further or 90 completely on the defensive along the length of the eastern front. z
 What use Hitler will make of this strategic reserve will be determined by the events of the next few months. If he should conclude that the United States and Britain will not strike before late summer or early autumn, he undoubtedly would laupch a new offensive of his own in Russia.
 However, it appears unlikely that Hitler will tackle the Russians again unless his submarine come manders give him positive assur- ances that they are sinking SO many shiploads of men and supplies that the Allies cannot possibly mount . powerful offensive.
 The Berliner Boersen- Zeltung boasted that the shortening of the front in Russia has released "oper- ational tactical reserves, no only at the eastern front, but also at the European coasts"
 "The German high command is thus fully prepared to meet thrusts, no matter from what direction. the newspaper said,
 From this standpoint, the Ger mans must have come out of the winter war in fairly good shape.
 Territorial!y. the Russian position is somewhat better than year ago, but there is debit side here, too.
 The position might be sunma- rized as follows:
 l. The Russians have completed about half the task of clearing out the Rzhev- -Smolensk hedgehogs. but the Germans still hold Smolensk, Vitebsy. Bry1nsk and Orel.
 2. The situation south of Khar- kov is pretty much the same as last year and the loss of Kharkov itself leaves that important springboard still in Nazi hands.
 3. The greatest Soviet achieve- ment was the lifting Of the threat to Stalingrad and the re-conqucst of about half of the Donets Basin, where, If the Russians can hold out. they will enter the summer in bit better shape than . year ago.
 1. The lines west of Rostov ago about whore they were 6 year ago.
 5. The Russians are likely to eliminate the German bridgehead in the northwest Caucasus and liber- ate the Black Sea naval base of whose present position under the Germans might be lik- ened to that of Sevastopol under the Russians last year.

NUutteu rreeS bGakk COTEe6pOnucntD
 Washington, March 20.--(UP)-- -- President Roosevelt today said one of the first tasks of tho new Food Administrator. Chester 0. Davis, will be- to establish some sort of land army to assist in farm production,
 MT. Roosevelt, In Q lengthy dis- cussion of the food situation at his press conference, made it plain that Davis will completely replace Sec- retary of Agriculture Claude R.. Wickard as boss of the nations food program.
 MT. Roosevelt explained that while Wickard will have all of tho authority and duties he had before he was made food administrator last December, Davis will have com- plete authority over food distrihu- ton and production. He said this will include the establishment of farm price ceilings, but that in this respect Davis will act in cooperation with the cooperation with the of- flee of price administration.
 This joint responsibility regarding farm prices has been assailed by farm organization leaders and many members of Congress from farm states. They want Davis to Ee given complete authority over form prices.
 While Da Jis will be in constant touch with Wickard, he will report to the president, who explained that he himself naturally will have the final decision.
 MT. Roosevelt said there was 8 definite need for so-called land army and 1t would be one of the first tasks to be tackled by Davis next week.
 MT. Roosevelt cited figures sup piled him by selcctiye Service to show that under the Tydings anaeId- ment to the Selectiye Service Act last year, providing for deferment of necessary farm workers, 550,00O have been deferred from military service this year.
 An estimated additional 100000 between the. ages of 70 and S7 will

 north end. Police said, however, that the former was Joseph Palla- dino, also known as Joe Beans. brother of Rocky Palladino, who owns the race horse Little Beans.
 Three sailors gave the best de- scription of the wild melee that started just before the club closed. A group of about five men were clus- tered at a table, they said. Sudden ly a fist fight developed.
 The gunman, member Of the group, walked toward the mems room bleeding from a cut over one eye. He entered and one of the fighters stood outside the door and said:

 Moscow, March 26.-(UP)--Rus- sian troops have broken through the primary German Qualifications east of Smolensk and now are storming the second defense line along an unidentified river west of the up- per Dnieper, front reports said to- day.
 Attacking ceaselessly in the con- verging drive against the Keystone base of the Central front. the Rus slans captured a dominant height beyond the Drieper and blasted gaps in the German front.
 Field dispatches reported extreme iy heavy fighting all along the new Nazi river line, which was de- scribed as strongly fortified and d's. tended by powerful concentrations of artillery.
 To the south the Russians broke into a village on the Kharkov front and drove the Germans from two towns in the region of Belgorod.
 Seizing the initiative for the first time in several days on the Khar' kov front, Russian patrols burst into a German occupied town north ot Chuguev, the mid-dax c0immunique said. one lieutenant alone killed six German soldiers and one otncer.
 Only yesterday, the Germans threw an infantry regiments. .0OO troops--and % tanks into an at- tack against 6 strategic height held by the Russians in the same area, only to fall back with loss of seven tanks and five self-propelling guns and heavy casualties.
