The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON


The grueling effects of two-front
war upon the Nazi-Nipponese axis
are becoming more apparent
every day. and tend to confirm
the widely held belief that the
most fateful period of World War
Two is close at hand in Europe
and Asia alike.
Spring is just around the corner
in Europe. The ernal Equinox
ushers it in March 81. Yet it holds
only the promise of worse things
to come for Nazi Germany. East
and west, the Russian-Allied war
fellowship is closing in for the kill.
From bomb-blitzed Berlin to the
thawing quagmires of the Ukraini-
an steppes, from Italy and the
southern Balkans to war-worn Fin.
land, spring will come with por.
tents dark with foreboding for Hit.

You'd, the seasonal cycle holds less
military meaning but the war Dor.
tents are the same. Japan's Pa
cific defenses from the Kuriles in
the north to the Bismarck Sea in
the south have been shredded. In
the far southwest British naval
power is beginning to gnaw at the
vital sea supply lines of Nippon
grip on Burma. In Burma itself,
Chinese and American troops are
carving bloody path for compile
ton of the last link of the Ledo
road destined one day to make
China a major base of Allied op-
erations against the Japanese
homeland.
Within the last seven days, how
ever, the most stunning blows to
herald the close approach of the
crucial spring-summer campaign
ing fell in Europe.
The great Russian offensive that
has carried on with mounting force
for more than a year is reaching
it's crisis in the southwestern
Ukraine. With its northWard com.
munications v r d, the Nazi
Dnieper Bend salient threatens TO
become a death trap for a half
million or more German troops
and leave Hitler's eastern Balkan
flank exposed and vulnerable at
the very moment Allied prepare
tons for an invasion Of the CONT
nent from the west reach their
climax.
Finland is already cropping for
the best terms she can make to
escape from her war partnership
with Germany. Tomorrow 1t may
be Rumania's turn and Bulgaria's,
for the Russian attacks foreshad-
ow early election of the Nazis
from southwestern Russia.
The flimsy satellite arch Hitler
erected by force and guile to boil
ster his eastern and southeastern
fronts is obviously tottering to its
fall.

for the foe.

not too early to say that the Nazis

liminaries are even now well adj

9TH AND NIXON UsO
u. S. Has Big Stockpile
Of Weapons In India

WASHINGTON, March 11.-(F-
The United States has a huge
stockpile Of weapons in India
$40, 1881, 900 of artillery and other
guns, $77,S71, 900 of ammunition
and S42, 1877, 1000 of tanks-awaiting
the time they can be moved into
China for use against the Japa-
nese.
This information was given con-
gress today in the quarterly re-
port Of Leo T Crowley, foreign
economic administrator, on oper-
atlons of lend-lease which he said
aggregated $40, 1886, 1000 through De-
cember.
1t was the first of such reports
to give so much detail of efforts
to aid China. Heretofore, the re-
ports have Jumped China with In
dia and Australia without making
clear what percentage has gone
to the Chungkine government.

The control-room door was flung
open suddenly. and Tommy shout
ed at her. Jane! What did you
do?"
Jane looked up at him. still not
quite believing that it had hap
pened - her hand had slipped and
done the very thing she'd wanted
to do. but had been too proud to
do Even now she knew she would
never have done it deliberately.
Tommy said accusingly. You
did it on purpose!
Jane felt herself grow pale with
anger. She felt limp as she heard

Tommy grabbed her by the
shoulders and tried to swing her
away from the controls. You
wouldn't be jealous, would you?'
Cut it! Do you want another
screech?"
And all the time" Tommy
said, Il thought you were just
helping out a poor dumb soldier.
Jane you love me"
Does that make any differ
ence?" she said coldly.
Why. all the difference in the
world, darling! I've been afraid to
tell you l loved you"

he pulled her away from the con-
trolls. But | thought" she said
weakly. that you were in love

She let her head fall on his
shoulder. but he drew away from
her suddenly.
"Your hair. Jane! Where are
your braids?"
Il thought you didn't like
them"
Then she was really sure of him
- Yvonne or anyone else didn't
count any more when she heard
him say. "All l know is you've got
a bunch of fluff on your head like
Vonnie Howard. It's terrible"

as we'll as the coronet braids. But
she changed her mind when she
saw her reflection.
Isn't it wonderful" Helen said
enthusiastically. Il wouldn't be-
lieve it. You're positively a
glamour-puss."
Jane had stared in wonderment
at the mirror. Soft curls around her
head softened her face. Even her
eyes looked different.
She fingered the curls now as she
looked up at the clock. Her hands
shook visibly as she looked at
Tommy in Studio A. sitting next
to Yvonne. On the cue from the
announcer, she took the news pro-
gram off the air. and cut on the
mike in the announcers' room.
She tried to catch Tommy's eye
as the orchestra started the open
ing fanfare, but he was whispering
to Yvonne. When the announcer
started the introduction. Tommy
slipped out of the studio and made
for the listening booth. so he could
hear Yvonne's song over the moni
tor system.
Anger flashed through Jane.
"I'n show him." she said. I'll
smear her voice all over the ali"
She knew all she need do was make
a few quick twists Of the knob as
Yvonne reached the high notes.
"I'n make your dear Vonnie sound
like a slide trombone"
JANE waited for a good spot in
Yvonne's song to increase the
volume suddenly. She must fight
back for once! This program
couldn't possibly mean as much
to Yvonne Howard as losing
Tommy did to Jane. :. But even
as she waited, she knew she'd
never do it. She'd never learned to
use her claws. 1t just wasn't her
way of doing things. -Four brothers
had taught her to hit only above
the belt - and if you lose, be
game loser.
She glanced at Tommy, in the
booth, with the look of loveslck
calf on his face as he listened to
Yvonne's voice. Well, this was the
biggest game she'd ever lost. This
would be hard to take.
A terrific screech from the speak
er startled Jane out of her revere
Yvonne's voice had gone haywire
on a high c. Jane looked into the
studio, but no one there seemed
to notice anything had gone
wrong. Then she realized what had
caused it. Her hand had been un-
steady, and had slipped on the
control knob. She had smeared
that high c all over the place.
