 U. g. Air Base, England, Oct, i0, (UP)-Rep. Ranulf Compton, R,, Conn, said today that the Allied high command schedule never had contemplated completion Of tho European War In i044 but tho American people had been deluded into believing victory this fall was probable,
 "Unhappily, due to lack of proper information from the OW1, the American people have expected the end soon," Compton Baid on his arrival here after Six'day tour of the western front,
 "This should be corrected"
 Actually, he said, the European operations are 'well ahead of scheds ule."
 He said high ranking officers told him that except for another sups ply miracle. we should not expect to finish the European operations until next spring"
 At the front Compton visited Lt, Gen. George 8. Patton, commander of the American Third Army, under whom he served in the flirst World War.
 Patton told him, he said, to "tell the people back home that this is not anywhere near over." He added that Patton told him that his army would be further ahead of schedule had 1t not been for on acute prob. lem of supply.
