Stimson Asserts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. (UP)-
The Germans, in their current
counter-offensive, have accepted the
hazard of an all-out effort which,
if it fails, may hasten the end of
the war, Secretary CT War Henry L.
Stimson said Thursday.
He said the German drive was de-
signed primarily to halt the Ameri-
can advance on the Cologne plain
and the Saar basin.
The hazards of the counter -offen-
sive are heightened by the fact that
the German high command must
also be prepared to meet the Rus
sian offensive wherever it may
strike, he said.
He pointed out that the German
effort came while Allied armies
were being steadily reinforced and
supported with large movement of
supplies, and while, with the winter
upon her, Germany was being sub
jected to steadily increasing and
vast aerial attack.
Under these circumstances" he
said, "the Nazi regime has not a

Saipan and the assembling of large
formations, the broadcast recorded
by United Press in sam Francisco,
said.
The japanese spokesman, writing
in .he Mainichi Shimbun, said the
appearance of small American raid
ing forces over japanese targets
might be cue to the fact that the
airfields az Saipan were too small
to allow large numbers of B-29's to
land or take-cff simultaneously.
Fuel capacity of the B-29's would
be overtaXed by assembling large
formations on the small Saipan air
fields, he said, because the bombers
must remain aloft< over the airfields
until the last plane OF the forma-
tion is in the air. .-..
The broadcast said another pos
