 Adolf Hitler's failure to achieve his dream of occidental world con- quest, after coming so close, can be attributed to three fundamental miScalculations.
 First, he underestimated the bull dog courage of the British. Second, l he underestimated the military and economic might of Soviet Russia and the willingness and ability of it's people to absorb punishment. Third, he undereStimated the rapil- ity and intelligence with which the United States could arm herself and the anti-Nazi world from a standing start, and this nations willingness to make common cause with Great Britain.
 Technically the United States did not enter the war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor December 2, 1941. Actually, her entire weight except for actual shooting was on the side of the Allies at least from September 3, 1940, when President Roosevelt and Premier Churchill | agreed that, in return for leases on certain defensive bases, this coun- try should turn 50 average destroyers over to the British for use against | submarines
 On March II, 1941, Roosevelt | signed the Jend-LeaSe bill. A week later $7,00 000O,000 was ap- i propriated to finance that contrib ution. An army of 100000 men was authorized. The Selective Service Act was amended to permit sending our soldiers overseas.
 Meanwhile we had closed Nazi conSulates in this country, had talk en over Greenland and Iceland and had seized Axis ships and those of occupied countries to protect | them"
 RACE AGAINST TIME
 In September a German subma- rlne missed the destroyer Greer, in mid-October torpedo dam aged the destroyer Kearny and October 30 the destroyer Reuben James was sunk with loss of 76 lives. All three episodes came after the President had ordered our destroyers to shoot at German submarines on sight.
 In November the neutrality act was repealed so that we could arm American merchant ships and use them to carry armaments and munitions to the British. By that time we had long been in a race | against time to make our army, our navy and our air force the | most powerful in the world, and | we boaSted of our desire and in- tention to become the arsenal and the granary of the anti-Axis world.
 The conquest of Africa, jointly through Montgomery's drive and the operations that began in AL giers and Morocco, gave us base from which to take Sicily. From that island we were able to hop to the Italian mainland and, event. ually, force Mussolini's downfall and put Italy out of the war. Our | pounding in Italy greatly assisted the successful landing in Normandy, which in turn helped our further | progress in Italy.

A grad uate of Yale university, Curtin finds that the years he spent study ing Latin, a subject which brings shudders to most other people. have helped him in his pronunciation of words on the radio.

never any question, however, that the complete downfall of Adolf Hit Ter and all his Nazi gang was an im- portant element in the internal readjustment that had to be made.
 So the final outcome continued the thread that, more than any other, runs throughout the story of the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler the thread of double-crossing.
 If Hitler hadn't double crossed everybody with whom he dealt, including the Junkers, he never would have come so close to mak- ing himself the first world dic- tator.
 In the other hand, if Hitler hadn't double-crossed the Junkers and the Russians, he might today be sitting quite pretty as the most powerful military and political fig ure in history.

If the German defeat was to be halted while there still remained some semblance of military might in the Reich upon which to begin building for another in the long series of German attempts at con- tinental domination, the Hitler had to be busted and negotiations for equalization had to be handled by the generals.
 The exact course of events, from the time the generals cabal took form, could have followed any of several courses. It may be long before we know in detail, with much accuracy, exactly which course it did follow. There was

the munitions that Germany was unable to build because of the shattering of her factories by An glo- American bombers contributed, to an extent that only the future can measure accurately, to the in- creasing inability of Hitlers armies to resist the Russians on the East and the Anglo-British forces on the South and West.
 Also, for the first time in history, Germany itself-its cities, it's homes, it's civilian population-began to suffer the horrors of death and de- struction that Germany so often has forced upon the rest of Europe.
 These things all contributed to

a rising tide of dissatisfaction against Hitler, against his associates, against his party, against his war. JUNKERs REVOLT
 The Junkers, who in the begin- ming had thought they were using Hitler as a spokesman to advance their own cause, began as early as 1933 to wonder whether they were really the fox eating the chicken or the chicken being gob- bled by the fox. They weren't sure, and by that time they had gone too far to back out. But at no time since 1883 has there been complete harmony between the JunkerS and Hitler.

 It must be the San Francisco influence or something but anyway tonight feel at peace with everyone and the world at large and seek controversy with Of course if anyone wants to write the publisher long letter registering complaint about this attitude and gives me permission to print it, it will be all right with yours truly. So to avoid arguments are going to agree with His Honor, the mayor, the Board of Police Commissioners and their military guests of honor and second the motion that the Waterbury Police Depart ment or Force whichever way the officials intended the compliment is the finest in Connecticut Within a couple of weeks month when the firemen undergo the inspection ordeal it will be expected of the mayor and the chairman to acclaim them as the bravest and the finest also in the state. Do you know any dipo- matic official who would say otherwise. We will go along with the statement, tonight anyway because we feel that way But now venture the query why can't the city find way to help our finest and our bravest look the part for which they have nominated them and set annual uniform allowance It is done in other cities. With all the "deducts" cop and fireman face these days the $40 plus doesn't go far The allowance would make the cops the finest looking officers in the state-in fact not in speeches. And maybe the wives of the wouldn't appreciate the lift! It is true some of the cops are well dressed Others not well Now we say this in peaceful mood why doesn't the fire and police boards give the idea little reconsideration We emphasize the word reconsideration for the plan old and has been discussed previously but tonight peaceful way thought it should resurrected so that of the nice speeches made at inspections might be translated into action.

Thomas admitted two wit

which she expressed fears for
her life, and a sum of 81 800
