Death and Destruction
Facing Berlin, Nazi
Propagandists Admit
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-B Berlin
menaced from the east by Mar
shal Gregory K. Zhukov's 1st
White Russian Army and from
the south and east by Marshal
Ivan S. Konev's 1st Ukraine
Army, was, by Nazi admission,
looking forward tonight only to
death, destruction and hunger.
Martial law in the front areas gave
the Nazis final lever to force obedi-
ence, Summary courts may mete out
death sentences for cowardice or any
failure to support the ultimate de-
Tense effort.
Civilians faced the prospect of be-
ing pressed into service for street
fighting when the Red Armies reach
Berlin and were promised that they
would receive food on the same basis
ss soldiers. The propagandists again
reminded the people of the food
shortage and told housewives their
ratlons must be stretched at least
20 per cent.
Papal Nuncio Moves.
Another indication that the seat
Of the Nazi government has been
moved from Berlin was an an
nouncement from the Vatican that
the Papal Nuncio had transferred
his residence from the capital to
Eichstaett in Bavaria. Moscow re-
ports have asserted that the Nazis
now are ruling from Nuremberg In
Bavaria.
The propagandists ON the Ger
man radio still harped on the Red
menace" theme and one broadcast
invited Gen. Eisenhower to send a
delegation of from to 10 officers
or enlisted men to investigate so
Wet atrocities in Hungary, saving
they would be allowed liberty to in
tervieW civilian victims of the Boil
sheviks."
The Allied commanders head
quarters had no comment on this
invitation. 1t was pointed out that
Hungary is not in Gen. Eisenhower
command and that the invitation
came, not through military or dip
lomatic channels, but through
Nazl Propaganda Ministry mouth
piece and that Allied Supreme
Headquarters ignores such propa-
ganda, regardless of the form it
takes.
Berlin Evacuation Speeded.
With further large scale evacu-
alton of Berlin avowedly not con-
templated by Nazi leaders, civilians
could look ahead to the fate of
Budapest's inhabitants-war victims
who lived in cellars and rubble
heaps for six weeks while the Nazis
fought block by block against the
Russians.
The German domestic radio gave
no encouragement to Berliners or
to Germans elsewhere in the Third
Reich. 1t brought them pro-
gressive story of fresh NaA re-
verses.
The high command announced
loss of Sagan, southeast of Berlin,
and nearby Guben was reported
under artillery fire, and as the
Soviet armor advanced even the
unobServant German could tell that
the crumbling Oder River line was
only defense ring for Berlin'S sub
urbs. After that falls there are
only hastily built tank traps and
bunkers barring the way to bloody
street fighting in the capital itself.

Greek Guards Push
Into Leftist Areas
BY The Associated Press.

ATHENS, Feb. II. - A govern

the Greek National Guard, equipped
with modern weapons, was pushing
forward into areas of Greece form

The Elias fighters are turning In

points. The weapons will be taken

Small British units are accom-

they advance into the former Left

Greek press, are receiving an en-

hSAOClhle0 FTShb w hf CORRESPONDENT.
WITH THE UNITED STATES 9Th
ARMY IN GERMANY, Feb. IT,
The Allied command, by not striking
when German west front defenses
were disorganized and drained in
recent weeks to supply their eastern
front, have permitted the Nazis to
stabilize and reorganize their line.
Aside from the Canadian Army
offensive at the northern end OF the
western front, the Germans have
had to meet only air attacks and
local assaults since loss Of the Bel
gian bulge and they have been able
to shift forces northward to meet
the Canadians.
Offensives by one army at time
have been typical of the Allied VIM
ter strategy and the Germans have
been able to use their reserves like
a shifting backfield defense in a
football game.
However. although they have re-
organized. the Germans still do not
hold the western front in great
strength. They are employing the
advantages of terrain of Southern
Belgium and Northern France and
the flooded Roer River to fight de-
laying actions.
At one time it appeared that the
Germans were planning to leave a
skeleton force on the fighting line
and withdraw the main body of
their forces across the Rhine, but
the interlude since their retreat
from the Ardennes has given them

Terror BOMBING
Continued From First Page }

V-weapons have been responsible
for the indiscriminate slaughter OF
civilians by tens of thousands.
The reaction of the Germans. who
still are bombing England blindly
with long-range rockets, is expected
to be new outburst of violent
words, but there is little more the
Nazi propagandists can say-all the
previous Allied air raids on the
Reich have been described by Berlin
as terror attacks"

Groyson's Scoreboord
 Alex and Others Prove Pitchers Who Win 20 1st Year Don't AIwoys FizzIe

Braves veterans, Jim Turner and Lou Fette, have won as many as 20 games their first time around in the National League, and they were no great shucks, as it was sub sequently demonstrated.
 Were it not. for Grover Alex a1lder and fistful of old-timers, off the record you might suspect that only a pitcher with trick stuff could account for 20 big league victories in his maiden whirl.
 This would seem true especially when you consider that such as Jack Chesbro, Big Ed Ruelbach, Rube waddell,. Eddie Plank. Wild Bill Donovan, Big Ed Walsh, George Mullin, Chief Bender. Jack Coombs, Rube Marquard, Smoky Joe Wood, Walter John son. Babe Ruth, the Coveleskies, Eddie Cicotte, Herb Pennock, George Uhle, Waite Hoyte, Robert Moses Grove, Dizzy Dean, Lefty Gomez, Carl Hubbell, Paul Der ringer. Bob Teller and Spud Chandler are among the several thousand who failed to make the grade.
 But while or Pete Alexander might be the modern exception proving the rule, the one-time Nebraska farm boy also conclu- sively showed that pitcher can walk in with the equipment and retain it. Alex tossed his weight around with considerable authority as late as 1929 throughout 8 l9-year stretch.
 Before him you have to go back to Amos Rusie, Cy Young, Clark Griffith, Iron Man Joe McGin- nity and the immortal Christy Mathewson. They broke into the National League with from 20 to 29 victories each, and kept right cn going l.ckity split.
 On the American League side, only southpaw Vean Gregg, who copped 23 for Cleveland in 1911, might have pitched a bust of him. sell into the House at Coopers- town. but his arm went haywire.. The others who are remembered only and largely because they scored 20 Victories making their bows are Eddie Summers, who helped the Tigers to their pennant in 1908; Ewell Russell of the 1915 White Sox; Hugh Bedient of the Red Sox champions of the same era; and Monte Weaver of the 1852 Senators.
 There was a stretch of some 30 years between Reb Russell and Bedient and Weaver, and l3 years between the latter and Ferriss.
 But that shouldn't discourage Boo Ferriss.
 Not with his size and stuff.
