 60 INTO 1945 CHURCHILL
BY J. EDWARD MURRAY (Unitsd Press staff COFrespOndentl

BY '. EDWARD MURRAY Wnitsa Press staff COrrsspOndent)
 London, September 28. = (Up) - Prime Minister Winston Churchill suggested today that the war in Europe may continue we'll into 1946 and deprecated people being carried away into premature expectation of early ceSSa- ton of the fighting"
 Making his first full report to commons since August ?, Churchill spoke for exactly an hour, and at l:05 p. m. the house adjourned until ? p. m. when he was to resume his speech.
 1T shall certainly not hazard Q guess as to when the end will come,' Churchill said of the European war Many persons of the highest teeh- nical attainment and knowledge and responsibility have good hopes that 1t will all be over by the end of l0aA.
 on the other hand, no one-cer- talnly not Lean guarantee that several months of lsAS may not be required"
 The Prime Minister, two days after his return from the Quebec conference, sketched the campaign in the west since he last addressed Commons, then turned to the Far East and declared:
 I can assure the house that the war against the Japanese and other diseases of the jungle will be press cd forward with the utmost energy"
 10 said complete agreement was reached at Quebec, where 1t was dee ciaed to make no changes in the chiefs of staff; that the British fleet was offered for major operations against Japan and cordially accept- cd: that 6 large portion of the Erie tlsA fleet already is iIa the Indian Ocean: and that the scale of the British effort against the Japanese would be limited only by available chipping.
 'iTheFe is q possibility that after tha organiaed resistance of the Ger. man state and army is eofnpletely broken, fierce warfare may Do main. tained in the forests and mountains of Germany by numbers of desper. ate men, conscious of their own guilt and impending doom," Churchill said.
 He added, however, that he did not consider the declared date of the end of the war must necessarily Do gostponed until the last desperado In Germany Is tracked down.
 The house recessed at 1908 ?. m, until 2:02 D. m. when Churchill 70. sumed his speech.
 'NeVer was the alliance against Germany of the three great powers more close and more effective he said.

 London, Sept. 90 - (u.P.l - For q long time-British Captain stood below the hills that ring Le Havre and pondered Q weighty problem should he aceede to his own beliefs or fight for the negative ideals of two very tired old mem"
 Before him lay the en1hattled French seaport. Inside the Germans were fighting to the last man. The Allies had demanded their uncon- ditional surrender. British guns were hammering the defenders TnercileSs- ly and British armor was preparing to smash in to enforce those terms.
 The captain, the Honorable Wil- liam Douglas Home, the younger son of the 18th Earl of Home, thought back over his fanily's mill. tary tradition that went back to ibiS when the Scots defeated James ".
 He weighed his own Seruples aS Q conscientious objector and balanced against them the terms of uneondi- tional surrender. It was c difficult decision for the 33-year. .old captain. But when he decided, he put 1t in writing and sent the letter to his hometown newspaper. the Madden head Advertiser, which published 1t.
 The letter, written from Pas Dc Calais on September i7, explained that he not only had resigned his commission aS captain in the Royal Armored Corps but definitely refused to fight"
 He said he could not lead his men into battle and to death shouting Q war cry which I not only regard a4 foolish, but one of the most out- standing example of criminal neg lect In the history of the British Empire unconditional surrender"
 Two Bones
 T do not believe the negative war aim to be worth the bones of one British grenadier," he continued. "Yet I am to charge forth, not aS c captain of my soul, but as . captain of the Royal Armored Corps not for my conception of the truth, but for what I regard aS being c de- llberately false reading of interna- tlonal politics by statesmen playing the old game of power politics for the second time in 20 years.
