StoIin Sees Victory Near

Washington, Feb. 29-(UP)-Sov- let Marshal Josef Stalin, in a mes sage to President Roosevelt, pre- dicted today that the time was near when the Allies would defeat Hit lerite Germany.
 Stalin's message was in response
 one which the president sent to him on Feb. 2, on the 18th anni- versary of the Red Army, praising its victories against the NaZis.
 q ask you to accept my sincere thanks for your friendly congratula- tions on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the Red Army and on the successes of the armed forces of the Soviet Union in the struggle against the Hitlerite invaders" !" Stalin's reply said.
 T am strongly convinced that the time is near when the successful struggle of the armed forces of the Soviet Union, together with the armies of the United States and Great Britain, on the basis of the agreements reached at Moscow and Teheran, will lead to the final de- feat of our common enemy, Hitler ite Germany"

Red Army forces, closing in on Pskov from three sides, fought their way through the outer defenses of the key rail city on the Baltic front today.
 Dispatches from the fighting zone indicated that 8 frontal assault on Pskov was likely, with resultant street-by- street fighting. The Ger mans were expected to put up de- termined stand for the city because of its importance as @ barrier to the Russian drive westward to the Bal tic.
 In Italy, the other principal land front, rain slowed up both ground and air action at the Arlzio beach, head, but American dive bombers were able to strike at German air fields outside Rome for the second successive day, and at the supply routes leading down to the active war zone. Other bomberS attacked enemy shipping across the Adriatic.
 The great air offensive against Germany was renewed with another massed assault on the French inva- sion coast by medium bombers and fighters, while American heavies again crossed into northwestern Germany to attack targets within the Reich.
 Sir Archibald Sinclair, British ail minister, told commons that the goal of air supremacy is in sight fol the Allies, with the prospect oi crippling German war industry anc transport in preparation for inva. sion. He remarked on the strength of German air defenses and dis closed heavy British plane and per- sonnel losses in the last year. but said the ratio of such losses t steadily decreasing in relation to the results achieved.
 An indication that the losses might be cut still further was giver by London air observer, who pre- dicted modification of British night-flying tactics against Ger many. He foresaw more frequent use of the "one-two" punch method used last week against Schweinfurt and Augsburg, which proved to be more economical than single 1000 plane attacks but achieved compar- able results.
 Interest in whether Finland would be able to reach a separate peace agreement with Russia centered on a secret meeting of parliament in Helsinski, presumably to debate purported terms offered by Moscow through Stockholm.
 In the Pacific, Allied surface and air forces continued to strike at will in the waters around the Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea. In the latest attacks, American airmen and PT-boats destroyed or damaged 29 planes, 34 bargeS and two cargo ships.
 Rabaul, principal Japanese base on New Britain, was hit for the 24th consecutive day with 164 tons of bombs. In listing Japanese losses, barges assume more importance than their size indicates. The Jap anese have lost so heavily in larger vessels that they are depending to an increasing extent on barges for the transport of men and supplies, so that these vessels usually heavily laden, make valuable prizes.
 The rapid Russian advance on the Baltic front holds every promise that the approaching end of the winter campaign will find the Red

Also brought into court as a pro- bation violator was Stanley Carnar- oli, 20, who received six-month suspended sentence last December on charge of theft of motor ve- hicle.

 When placed on the witness stand by his counsel, Attorney A. Henry WeiSman, Brown stated he had overslept on the day he was to re- port to the probation officer and when he called week later the of- ficer was not present.

Jops Feared Tokyo Raid
By United Press

The Japanese expected a United States bombing attack on Tokyo during the past two days, the Nazi Transocean News Agency reported today in a dispatch recorded by U. S. government monitors.
 The dispatch said the Japanese government had taken 'precaution- ary measures" during Monday and Tuesday, (Tokyo time), prohibiting "open fires in Tokyo houses to pre- vent confrgations.' The precautionary measures, the dispatch continued, had given Tokyo,s inhabitants "the feeling that they are now directly included in the front area"
 Asserting that Japan had been 'awakened" by the presence of an American fleet of the Mariana Islands, the news agency said it was now plain that Japan has en- tered upon the decisive phase of the Pacific war"
 Japan tow realizes, it continued, that the American advance was mo isolated enterprise in which, after rapid thrust, the attackers recoil to their original positions, but that, as 'Asahai" expressed it Tuesday, the United States fleet is steaming toward Japan as did the Russian fleet 39 years ago."
 The English-language dispatch, dated Tokyo, was transmitted from Berlin.
 The Japanese conceded today that the heavy U. s. Naval attack on the MarianaS last week was not merely a rash attempt" and tacitly admit ted the lack of sufficient aircraft to cope with the American offensive forces.
 In exhorting the Japanese people to produce more airplanes, Tokyo radio. in broadcast recorded by the EGG. said Japan was fully aware of the speed in the Allied advance "that cannot be regarded lightly"
 What we must bear well in mind, the radio said, 'is that if we had still greater number of aircraft, we could have engaged this strong en- emy task force that recklessly plunged into our iron-wall defensr positions and could have sunk i: entirely to the bottom of the Pa- cific ocean,"
 Tokyo previously had said tha. Japanese planes sank one aircrai, carrier and three large-sized war; gt1tv~gSp r.R kIaa Ana arfnopN f0o1H fr.Voo which 1t described as including more than 10 aircraft carriers and eight battleships."
