Montgomery Warns
Against Underp|ayinq
Danger Of New War
by the Associoisd Press

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery, military boss
of the f1ve-power Western Alliance,
warned today against "underplay-
ing the danger of war"
"Of course, we do not want to
overstress the danger and get in a
panic" he said in a recruiting ad-
dress, "but it is doubtful If we have
yet reached the stage where man
kind can by reasoning alone put an
end to war; that time is not yet"
Lord Montgomery was appealing
for recruits for Britain's territorial
army national guard.
I'VE intend to handle any aior
emergency by using the territorial
army framework," he said. I'VE shall
base the expansion of our land
forces in wartime on the territorial
army. 1t is the structure on which
the whole national army depends.
We can achieve security by strength
and preparedness. In the hand of
strength lie the keys of peace and
Of war"
- Asia's Border Held on EIbe.
In another recruiting address,
Winston Churchill declared yester-
day that "the 'front.' of Asia Is
upon the Elbe."
A short part Of the Elbe River
borders the Russian and British
zones of Germany. Russia has more
area in Asia than in Europe.
Mr.. Churchill, the wartime Prime
Minister, was appealing for reserve
recruits for the Royal Air Force. He
said Britain would be very foolish
to repeat again the mistakes of the
past and be drawn, under even
worse and far less excuSable cir
cumstances, into a life-and- death
struggle for the mere existence of
our country"
1T is not as if the existence of
our country alone were at stake" he
said in speech to 5000 persons,
because the cause of freedom and
resistance to tyranny In all its
forms, whatever livery it wears or
slogans 1t mouths, is a world cause
and the duty which every man and
woman owes to the human race"

LONDON, Aug. 9-The happening
Of split second before $4,000 wit

ment of the 1948 Olympic games.
Judges say that Barney EWell
handed the baton to Lorenzo Wright
in the 4OO-meter relay outside the

Avery Brundage, president of the
United States Olympic Committee,
said he believed it would be impos-
sible for the jury of which he is a
member to see the films before to-
morrow.
It think the officials became con-
fused as to the line said Dean

relay, said: when they announced
England had won we tried to figure
out where the flaw could be. And
then when they said 1t was Barney
