response that President Roosevelt
would not intervene with any peace
plan, and. in mid-O October of 1899,
Hitler established his headquarters
on the western front.
Then began what Britons called
the bore war" and which many
Americans believed to be a
"phony war"-long, nervous months
of waiting, with armies sitting
DULY behind Notifications they be-
lleved impregnable and communi-
ques intoning nothing to report"
Blitzkrieg in West.
On the morning of May 10, 1910,
the full force of Hitler's new army
burst upon the west. AS the soldiers
poured into the Netherlands and
Belgium, Hitler proclaimed it the
start of fight Ito decide the fate of
Germany for the next 1000 years" "
The Low Countries were accused of
plotting with Britain and France to
invade the Reich.
From his field headquarters in the
west, Hitler was in constant direc-
ton of the military cataclysm that
followed. He brought Italy into the
war even while he was sending his
armies against the crumbling French
on the Somme-Aisne line, to teach
them what he called "a historic les
son. and while the British were
withdrawing the last of their expe-
dictionary force by sea through Dun
kerque.
France asked for an armistice on
June IT; the British, defiant, pre-
pared to fight off invasion.
Then came Hitler's greatest hour.
In the same old wagon lit where
Marshal Foch presented the 1918
armistice terms to Germany, in the
Forest of Compiegne, the trium-
phant Austrian presented his own,
harsh terms to the French. They
stripped France of her arms and
left roughly more than half her land
under German occupation, with
100000 of her soldiers prisoners.
Histroic Railway Car.
1t was a ceremony of stiff punc-
tilio. With his generals, Hitler
walked swiftly through the sun
streaked forest to the historic rail-
way car. Outside, he stood for a
moment with folded arms before the
monument to Marshal Foch. Then
he turned quickly and entered the
car, to take the chair where Foch
had sat.
At 1892 pm. the French entered
the car and Hitler arose-as Foch,
in his own day, had not-and stif1y
gave the Nazi salute. Then he sat
silently while Col. Gen. Wilhelm
Keitel, chief of the German high
command, read the preamble to the
armistice terms. In 10 minutes Hit
Ter marched out.

after Pearl Harbor, Hitler and his
satellite, Mussolini, declared war
upon the United States, charging
this country with aggressive action.
This was the final step that sealed
the doom of the Axis powers But
that result was not Immediately ap-
parent.
Indeed, the high-Water mark OF
Hitlers career of conquest came in
the first half of 1912. In the East
he saw his armies advance to the
gates of Stalingrad; in Africa his
troops approached within rs miles
of Cairo; on the sea American and
British ships were being sunk at a
rate faster than they could be built.
In the Far East, Hitler's ally, Japan,
marched swiftly through the con-
quest of the Philippines, Burma and
the Dutch East Indies and menaced
the mainland of Australia.
| But with the entrance of the
United States into the war Hitler's
stupendous bid for world conquest
narrowed down to a race between
rapid military advances by his
armies and the growth of Ameri-
can production.
TwO-and-a- Half Retreat.
| 1t was in the fall of 1912 that
Germanys war lord first had rea-
son to doubt that his armies would
sweep all before them. After bitter
| fighting they were turned back at
Stalingrad and began the slow west
ward retreat which two and one
half years later would find them
back in Berlin. In Africa the Brit
| ish, after desperate stand before
Alexandria, began to drive Gen.
Rommel's forces slowly but surely
across the desert. In October Amer
lean and British forces invaded
North Africa At sea American
carriers and destroyers began to
WIN their fight against the U-boats
The following year was one of
constant German retreats. Slowly
but surely Hitler's armies were be-
ginning to falter. Yet in his pub
lie speeches he still spoke only of
victory. even though in the sum-
mer of 1943 his colleague Mussolini
was kicked out of Office and Anglo
American forces occupied Southern
Italy.
| Hltler's speeches became less bel
licose and confident. Still he told
the Germans and the world that
"Festung Europa fortress of
Europe-was impregnable.

s, 1914, when Anglo-American forces
in the greatest amphibious assault
in history, landed on the shores of
Normandy and, though bitterly op-
posed for six weeks, eventually broke
the German line and marched across
France to the German frontier.
Clashes With Chiefs.
But serious feuds developed with
in the military hierarchy. Hitlers
"lntuition' as strategist clashed
with the ideas of some of his mill
tary chleftains. There were sum-
mary dlsmissals of outstanding
leaders, reports of quarrels and exc
cutions and then, on July 20, 1914.

 By JACK STINNETT-(AP) Feature Writer
 WASHINGTON-In discussions of the world control of atomic bombs it is surprising that the opinions of the scientists who still working on the bombs are being given so little attention.
 Rep Walter H. Judd, Republican of Minnesota, has laid one report from group of these scentlSt oe1ore his colleagues but few far have incorporated any o the conclusions of the laboratory men into their puolc arguments
 Except for occasional outbursts by Congress- men and other public officials who declare we should or should not keep the bomb U SBritish secret Con- gress seems willing to wait until the President lays the problem squarely before it.
 Even then there probably will be some buck-passng between the legislative and executive branches
 'The scientists who created the atomic bomb" says Rep Judd have spent seepless nights on the question of what to do with their brain child.
 And the scientists themselves reerate ths pointing out that because of the secrecy surrounding its deVe opment they have been spending seepless nights good deal longer than those who only learned o its horrible force when the first bomb dropped over Hiroshima
 The scientists (who have elected to remain anony- rnous in making their report) set forth their concu sions with direct laboratory logic They state slpy that the United States has four alternatives in control of the atomic bomb and then proceed to show what IS wrong with each one.
 CD Disregard the atomic bomb altogether Tn our formation of foreign policy.
 Arguments for this simply that the atomic bombs will not in the long change the basic nature ot war or conquest and that eventually science Will develop an adequate defense against them.
 To this latter the scientists say unequlvocally they can "offer no hope of specific defense against the atomic bomb" They point out also that neither moral sanctions fear of retaliation has ever Kept power from using any weapon it's march of conquest (Ihe latter did prevent of gas in the late war; but for reasons that wouldn't apply to the atomic bomb)
 CD Keep secret control raw materials and build bigger and better bombs.
 To ths the scientists say simply that any nation can find the secret for itself in two to five years that the raw materials (especially uranium) are scattered all over the world; and that after minimum number of bombs are constructed bigger and better one are just so much useless surplus.
 (3) Conquer the world before anybody else can de- velop the bombs This is against everything that the United States has fought and bled for and may be dis missed unthinkabe.
 (4) Turn atomic power to international control The scientists recognize the difficulties ahead in this policy especially that in so doing the United States will have to sacrifice some of it's national sovereignty But those are the possibilities in nutshell Take your pick the scientists say.
 Worrying about how much work you have ahead of
