Next Battle Area

Dewitt Mackenzie, Associated Press war
analyst, believes that the German command
er in France, who may or may not be Field
Marshal Won Kluge, will make stand some
where along the line Of the Somme and the
Marne rivers. This thought was voiced by
Lieut. Gen. Sir Douglas Brownrigg, as quoted
in these columns on Friday But Mr.. Mac
Kenzie does not see this probable stand so
much a part of war of retreat, the view
held by Sir Douglas, as a delaying action.
II there is a major battle still to be fought
in the area, Mr.. Mackenzie sees the German
commander inspired by three motives:
"(1). He will have established a barrier
across the northern tip of France. C2). He
will be guarding the Pas De Calais coast
which lies on the narrowest part OF the Eng
fish channel-ah easy mark for invasion from
Britain unless strongly defended. 49, He will
be protecting the launching fields of the robot
bombs which are doing such terrible damage
in London and in other parts Of southeastern
England
And he places especial emphasis on those
launching fields for the flying bombs. His
position on this is soundly taken. These robots
are doing too much damage in England for
the Germans to relinquish the launching fields
without struggle. Says Mr.. Mackenzie:
The British government says the buzz
bombs are causing heavy casualties and
shocking damage to property. The last Off
ciaI figure showed the death toll to be nearly
5,0o0-a total probably now surpassed-and
houses are being destroyed or damaged at the
rate Of 1900 every twenty-four hours.
Observers generally look for new huge roc
ket bombs which probably will be fired from
the mountains within the Reich itself. II and
when these new horrors come on, the little
robots can be dispensed with, and the Pas De
Calais coast no longer will be so essential to
Hitler's program
There is no reason to doubt that General
Eisenhower is as familiar with the probable
battle plans of the Germans as any observer.
If he is convinced that the Germans are plan
ming such a campaign we may be sure he
will increase the tempo Of Allied operations
in northern France, now that the Allies have
the upper hand.

Chevalier, Paris slum boy whose
smile, straw hat and Partisan slang
made him a world idol On the stage
and screen before the war, turned
up a month after the French de-
feat in June, 1910, on the Riviera,
where he was reported resting. "
A year later, on Sept. 5, 1941, he
arrived in Paris for the first time
since German occupation of the
French capital. Thereafter he was
reported singing many times for
audiences in German-occupied Pa
ris.
He said in an interview at that
time that he had come back to sing
for the benefit of French war pris-
oners.
A week later he appeared before
1000 Well-knoWn boulevardiers and
personages including Georges Car
pentier, the boxer, at a restaurant
and sang.
In November of 1941 he left Par,s
to sing for French prisoners at
Magdeburg, Germany, where he
himself was imprisoned for ~
months during the first world war.
1t was while in the prison camp
that he learned English.
Chevalier was wen-known to Am
erican movie fans having made
several pictures in this country.
His last visit to the United States
was in 1885.

More laundering

Just as the public begins to feel the OP.A is
really trying to cooperate in production and
distribution problems, new order comes out
like its recent decision to put lamb back on
the ration list of meats
In commenting on the OPA's latest order
which blocks the sale of lamb in the Pacific
Northwest United States Senator Guy Gordon
says: Despite the fact that the local oPA Of
ficials can see sound reason to permit the free
flow OF lamb into the market, some wise guys
back in Washington who think they know
more than anyone else, think otherwise
The Portland oregonian says: THE fact
that every informed source in this region con-
oemns as error the restoration of lamb to the
ration list ought to convince the national
OPA that point holiday on lamb is necessary
IN this area to prevent grave waste of food
and grave loss to producers
II the OPA is as stubborn about correcting
the lamb situation as it has been about correct
ing its unexplainable highest price line lmita-
ton orders, and its resistance to suggested
! improvements in the Price Control Act, and
access to district courts, the present lamb sup.
ply will be old sheep unfit to eat before any
relief is given.
/, Although they are willing supporters of war
time ratiening and price control the people
are getting good taste Of bureaucratic die
tatien. 1t is crystallizing their determination
to regain their independence and control o
their local affairs ut the earliest possible dat
after this war.

Outlook In The Pacific

The war in Europe is absorbing so much
attention these days that what goes on in the
Pacific is mostly crowded out of the news.
ping up in western Europe and Stain in the
east and Hitler's satellites are trying to get
out from under, both General Macarthur and
Admiral Nirnitz are carrying the Battle of the
Pacific nearer to Japan's shores with each
days passage.
Macarthur is moving nearer the Philippines
constantly, in fulfilment of his pledge to re-
turn. Nimitz is understood to command two
fleets either one Of which is capable of en-
gaging Japan's elusive navy and sending it
to the bottom. While the situation is not so
good on the Asiatic mainland, forces under
Generals Stilwell and Chennault, along with
Indian and British forces commanded by Lord
Mountbatten, are steadily whiting at the enc
my so effectively that the Japanese cannot
be sure of achieving a major victory any
where they might choose to strike.
With the fall of Hitler obviously nearing, it
seems very probable that Japan's day of reck-
oning cannot be far behind Japan will have
the strength to continue fighting in many sec
tors of the tremendous Pacific war zone for a
while. Distances are SO great and the Japa-
nese were so well entrenched before we were
ready to take up the fight, that quick over
throw of the Japanese is not to be lightly
