chieftain by less than an hour last
Wednesday Is regarded here n an In
dication that the Germans are prepar-
ing more energetic action against the
Partisans.
The political handling Of that terri
tory where two factions Of guerrillas--
the Partisans and the Chetniks-are
fighting each other has been left entirely
to Prime Minister Churchill. 1t Is con-
sidered possible here that the British
government may adopt new policy and
try to reconcile Tito and Draja Mihailo-
vich. For the time being the attitude
adopted by the British and followed by
the American Government, which con-
sists Of throwing Mihailovich overheard
and assisting the Partisans with war
material and propaganda, is considered
In some military quarters as short sight
in some military quarters as short
sighted.
In spite of the various reports that
some of Mihailovichs aides have been
dealing with the Nazis, there is no
tangible proof that this has been the
case. The Chetnik leader has been
accused Of having shown little initiative
in the last IL months. The truth, ac-
cording to American military observers
who have returned from his headquar-
ters less than three months ago, seems
to be that his small engagements with
the Nazis were due to lack of war ma
terial which has grown acute since the
Italian surrender. He could no longer
purchase them from the italian forces
Of occupation. The British government
had approved Of these transactions and
subsidized him with Italian, British and
American currency for that purpose.
Another reason for the lack Of any
spectacular activities Is an agreement
with the Allied general staff soon after
the invasion Of North Africa, providing
that he would spare his forces until
strongly organized armies could enter
the Balkans.
The time for such an action may be
approaching. The Germans at least
seem to fear 1t. This transfer Of some
10000 Nax soldiers to that area tends
to confirm this thesis
II special political reasons could be
laid aside for the sake Of the eficient
prosecution of the war, there still ap-
pears to be possibility that the Allies
can avail themselves of the aid OF the
Chetniks in important strategic sections
OF Yugoslavia.

Kansas is breaking a bottleneck in

Unquestionably that is the most sensible

D. {. Marine DESTROYS
8 jap Tanks on PeIeIiu

A 23-year -old District marine was
the gunner of a tank which de-
stroyed eight Japanese tanks in 80
minutes of fighting Sunday on Pele-
liu Island, the Associated Press
reported.
He is Corpl. Edward e. Brooks
whose mother lives at tbs Taylor
street NV. Corpl Brooks, who
participated in other battles on the
island, said Japanese armor was in
ferior to American, both in guns
and protection.
Relating how his tank wrecked
the eight Jap tanks, Corpl. Brooks
paid tribute to Sergt. James D.
Miller of Indianapolis, a veteran OF
Guadalcanal, who kept his head
above the turrent even during the
hottest part of the fight, when Jap
artillery as we'll as enemy tanks
were firing on him.
"The japanese came out in wedge
formation" Corpl. Brooks said. I'VE
charged down the middle Of them to
bust them up. Firing right and
left, we got five.
There still were three Jap tanks
behind us, so we backed up, knocked
out the three and then showed off,"
Corpl. Brooks was born here and
was graduated from Roosevelt High
School. He attended Benjamin
Franklin College and was an auditor
at the Washington Terminal Co.
before enlisting in December, 1941
He has served overseas for more
