COLLAPSE IS DERlDED
None OF Ground Made Dur
ing Conference Has
Been Lost

LONDON, Feb. 22-RHPrime
Minister Churchill today promised
Germany new air blows increas-
ing sharply this spring and sum-
mer to "reach far beyond the
dimensions of anything yet en-
ployed or indeed imagined" but
he soberly withheld encourage
ment that the European war would
end in 1914.
Speaking before the House Of
Commons for an hour and 10 min
utes in his first war review in
five months, Churchill declared
that victory may not be so far
away-and will certainly not be
denied us in the end" but ne
spoke with studied caution of the
power the German army still
yields and derided the view that
Hitler is about to collapse.
Churchill made these points:
There has been no cooling off
in Anglo-Russian or American
Russian friendship" and none
of the ground made good at Mas
COW and Teheran has been lost"
Britain is going about in sup
port of Marshal Tito in Yugosla-
via.
Although Britain is sympathe-
tic to the Poles, she recognizes
Russia's right of reinsurance
against future attacks from the
west" and is going all the way
with Russia to see that she gets
it. Britain has not guaranteed
''any particular frontier line" to
Poland.
Churchill covered a wide range
of both military and political af-
fairs around the world. Here is
summary of the picture he
drew:
Military:
1. Declaring that he had "cer-
tainly given no guarantee or even
held out any expectation that the

troll and that the Nazi party and
the generals have decided to
hang together

It would be possible for a plane,
high over northern France, to re-
lease radio-controlled bomb
which would land in England, but
for loag-distance bombing this
would be little better than projec-
ton from chutes. Radio-control is
believed effective only as far as
the man in the controlling plane
can see.
The latest technical information
on glider-bombs was a tentative
description in January's airplane

carried by Dornier 217's and Helm

ing reached.
But, for all the temporary lull
in the main conflict, American and
British troops gripped their rifles
firmly and remained constantly on
the alert for third enemy effort
to drive them into the sea. They
felt it would come, for the Nazis
were believed still Under Hitler's
personal order to wipe out the
beachhead at any cost.
German infantry and tanks in
fact, were observed concentrating
yesterday in the so.called fac
tory" area of Aprilia, just east
OF Carroceto, but were scattered
by accurate fire of Allied artillery
and the attack, if one was con-
templated, did not materialize.
AS fighting for the beachhead
entered its second month without
either grim antagonist showing
any sign of yielding, the Allies
still held approximately 100 square
miles of ground-all of it subject
to Nazi artillery fire from the hills.
Boundaries of the holding, start
ing from a point on the coast
northwest of Anzio, run more or
less in a straight eastward line,
passing about a mile and half

two miles southwest of Cisterna,
