ON visit TO
NORMANDY
Declares Crisis Grips
ReiehIand- Grave Signs
Of Weakness Now

LONDON, July 24.-The first Of
ficial Allied word concerning the
crisis in Germany was given by
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
after a visit to Normandy, who said
there were grave signs of weak
ness in the Reich. He predicted
that the war might come to an
end earlier than we have a right
to say"
Speaking before 500 men on an
Raj flying field, the Prime Minis
ter summed up Germany's internal
crisis in these words opposite
you is the enemy whose power is
crumbling."
While in Normandy, Churchill in
spected Cherbourg, and looked over
one German flying bomb installa-
ton captured by the Americans.
Referring to the recent attempt
on Hitler's life, Mr.. Churchill said:
"They missed the old bounder" but
added there is time yet for a great
disturbance in the German ma
chine.
Think how you would feel if
there was a revolution in England
and they were shooting cabinet
members" he concluded.

BY PRESTON GROVER

Chief of AP Coverage i'm the
China Burma India War Theatre
In the thick jungle mud OF north
central Burma battle is being
fought between two rain-soused
armies with a supply road into
desperate China as the prize. The
whole battle is being fought around
a town whose pronunciation has
tormented newspaper readers for
months. 1t is the town of Myit-
yina, pronounced mitchenaw.
On the outcome of the struggle
may hinge important battles In
China. Presently no supplies get to
China except those flown across the
Hump at great cost. The new Burma
road, called the Ledo road. is routed
through Myitkyina If the Allies
capture Myitkyina and surrounding
territory, they can shove the road
through into China and open land
supply line at a time when the
Chinese are perhaps the hardest
pressed since their war started
seven years ago.
Myitkyina also would be tremend-
ously important as an air base, per-
hitting air transport to take low
level and far less dangerous route
from India to China.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-07-24
Fight Tor Burma Is
Fight for Road for
Supplies for China
Much at Stake

If the Japanese hold Myitkyina,
all the daring American engineering
of the past 10 months will have
been wasted and the costly Ledo
road quickly will be reclaimed by
the jungle.
BY series of astute maneuvers,
1t. Gen. Joseph Stilwell has piloted
his army of Americans and Amer
ican-trained Chinese more than 200
miles through northern Burma,
through some of the denest jungles
in the world, right into Myitkyina.
But the japanese were there
with first line troops, and considered
it SO important that they were
willing. to risk thousands of men in
desperate drive into India in an
effort 10 break the Allied line.
Forces Involved
Stilwell's troops were not the only
ones involved. British and Indian
"Chindits,' flown into central Bur-
ma III a daring glider operation,
have steadily fought their way
northward to the outskirts of
Myitkyina, not far from a little
town called Mogaung.
In addition, strong force of Chi
