Will of Won Hindenburg
Showed He DidNot Want
Hitler AS His Successor

Hindenburg died early in Au-
gust, 1884. Before the army chiefs
could get together to confer on the
situation thus created, Hitler had
proclaimed himself as linden
burg's successor. In the early
hours of the morning the entire
German army was compelled to
sweat a personal oath of loyalty
to Hitler.
AS was his custom, Hitler then
arranged for plebiscite to prove
to the world that the German peo-
pie approved of this step. L n e
plebiscite was a phoney, since 1t
was a clear cut case OF voting
for Hitler or else. During the flood
of Nazi oratory which preceded
the so-called plebiscite much was
made of the Hindenburg will IN
which it was supposed that Ger
many's military idol had desired
Hitler to succeed him.
What was released to the world
as Hindenburg' will actually was
onlv the first of several parts OF
that document. 1t spoke in gen
eral terms of the necessity OF Ger
man unity and unified leadership,
but did not mention Hitler.

Anti-Walace Forces
Retreating In House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-UP)--
Wallace forces in the House
appeared to be retreating tonight.
Both Republicans and southern
Democrats indicated they would
accept compromise on the
George bill, thus clearing the way
for Senate confirmation of former
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
as secretary of commerce.
The bill as passed by the Senate
would strip the commerce depart
ment of authority over the recon-
struction finance corp. The ad-
ministration accepted the bill in
the belief that it would assure con-
firmation of Wallace when the
Senate takes up the nomination
on March 1. The House compro-
mise proposal would also ban Wal
lace from being a member of the
board of the export import bank.

RUSSIAN CHURCH

MOSCOW, Feb. TO- R The

today that the vatican sought to
shield Nazi Germany from Allied
punishment, making the accusa-
ton in a document signed by four
patriarchs and representatives OF
four others.

to protect Hitherto Germany from
responsibility for crimes commit
ted by her and ask forgiveness Tor
Fascists who spilled the blood OF
innocent victims all over Europe.
1t continued that in the opinion
of the signers, those accused OF
trying to protect Germany wanted
to "1eave on the earth after the
war a Fascist, Misanthropical anti
Christian doctrine, together with
its supporters.
1.-THE Christian religion must
bless the efforts of freedom-lovlng
and peace-loving mankind directed
toward organization of such order
on earth by which the world will
never again experience Fascism
and bloody, terrible aggressions
like Hitler's," it said.
The church leaders whose sigma
lures appeared on the document
were Christopher, Patriarch OF
Alexander, third Patriarch OF An
tiochia; Kallistrat, patriarch OF
all Georgia, and Alexei, Patriarch
of Moscow and all the Russians.

Marshal Montgomery's winter as

megen so surprised and confused
the enemy that he had not recov-

battle in which Canadian and Bri-
fish troops have registered con-
vincing gains.
They are gains that the enemy
never expected the Allies to make
never expected because a great
share of the area attacked was

traversed by boat and because
the remainder OF the 7,00O-yard
front on D-day was so imbedded in
