DRIVES" SEASON
ALMOST OVER

With announcement that Ell Centre has
accomplished the goal for Red Cross
funds, the season for various drives"
for worthy causes almost is ended, save
for a small amount to be raised for can
Ger research use. All other goals, Ell Cen
tro is proud to note, were reached
Now for April there is another call,
but this time not for cash donations
just clothing of any and all kinds, but all
fit to be worn-but for highly worthy
and demanding cause. The donations will
be assembled and shipped to the civilians
of war-torn Europe There can't be too
much and the need will not end soon. But
it is hoped enough can be C o e e d
throughout the country in the coming
month to go far in relieving immediate
suffering. A little extra time, little eX-
ira effort, and the thing is done.
Having attended to all the other drives
and nobly, there is another drive now on.
1t doesn't call for cash or for any kind
of donations. Just bit of muscular ex-
ertion. We refer to our own Ell Centro
''clean-up-your-p premises week" Pride is
an incentive. A feeling of having neat,
well-appearing city is the reward
The city is sponsoring the drive, City
trucks will cart the rubbish, trees and
limbs and such away, once the citizens
have gathered it together.
Let's drive together the next six days.

WHO WILL SAY QUITS
IN GERMANY?

As the collapse of German arms and
her economic empire approaches. II be-
gins to appear there will be an internal
row as to who will be authorized 20 sur
render.
Although there always has been the
military and the Nazi party division. the
war has forced the distinction into the
background in Germany and that fact al
most has been forgotten by the world IN
general. For some time now there have
been clashes between Hitler. playing the
double role as party leader and as gen
eralissimo.
If reports have any truth, the final
clash is on and the guess is that before
the final catyclism, the military will
seize the government and do the surren-
dering. Rumors have been insistent for
some time that the military leaders have
been ready to say quits for quite some
time. Indeed, it seems we'll established
that Won Rundstedt lost his command on
the western front because he advised sur
render and almost made the move. But
he was not quite strong enough either
with the other military leaders or with
the party rank and file to seize that
power.
Latest developments, lacking full con-
firmation, are that Hitler has agreed
to new set-up with sort of combination
of the political party and the militarists
with himself and his satellites Goerlng,
Himmler and Goebbels numbered on the
commission.
The present situation presents some
thing unique in war. 1t we'll could be that
the actual words unconditional surren-
der" will not be sounded Instead, as the
military machine breaks down and
reaches zero point in coordinated de-
fense, the Allies will set up their govern
ment and proceed to operate as such, ar
resting leaders and dealing with them as
the occasion arises.
One thing now is certain. Germany,
militarily, is licked. From now on the
Allies will move in manner to hold to
as few as possible their own casualties.
1t is conceivable that the German peo-
pie will be more and more submissive as
they are separated from the influence of
the war party propaganda, knowing that
the Nazi party will collapse with the
exodus of Hitler.

ROLES or AIRPoWER

MIsiuformad laemen have done q dis

spect. there can be little question that
Hitler would have made good his bid in
the Orel salient had it not been for the eff
feetive use of Russian StOrmovik and
American Airacobra planes against his
tank spearheads. Is il TO be imagined
that the huge invasion forces from Brit
ain ever could have landed on D-day in
Normandy, or that a Channel packed
with ships could have been less than
graveyard for those ships had our own
forces and the RAF not achieved COM
pete air dominance before the hour of
invasion? How much larger would have
been our casualty list in the march across
France-even granted that it could have
been accomplished at all-and our ad-
vance to the Rhine-had our armor and
our infantry not had the continuous pro-
lection of American wings from a Luft-
waite almost driven from the air? Can il
be imagined that the enslaved countries
of Europe could have been freed, that
our own and our Russian ally's forces
could be knocking at Hitler's very inner
door, if German production of munitions,
bal-bearings, fuel and the thousand 9th
er instruments of war, and her arteries
of transport, had not felt the destructive
blows of the Allied air forces?
1t should be realized by this time that
while ground armies must take and hold
ground, and surface warships of every
sort are necessary and enormously COM
petent to perform their own vital func-
tions, airpower today is not only the
support but the very spearhead of both,
without which neither, nor both together,
can hope to attain victory.
