Army Expects Defeat of Nuzis
BY October Woodrum Saws

President Roosevelt is having no
part of predictions on the end of
the war. <..
A reporter asked him at his news
conference If he could give any idea
of when he expected a collapse of
Germany.
Why no. the President replied,
adding that he has been very care
full about such things and that he is
about the only person who hasn't
said when he expected the Euro
pean war to be over.
Reporters then asked how long he
thought the war against Japan would
continue after Germany collapses,
but Mr.. Roosevelt said such things
