FIRST HAND VIEW OF WAR
IN EUROPE IS GIVEN BY
! JOURNALIST FROM THERE
A firs* hand view of the Inter

) !y by Virgil Pinkley, Foreign
News Editor f .r a leading Ameri
can news agency, the United
Press, n w in the United States,
his home country, on a b tween
1 assignments visit to his family.
He broadcast from Hollywood,
Calif.
Pinkley said that Germany is
|now depending on the speed and
! suddenness of her attack to get
the final drop on Great Britain.
H,. said that Hitler is apparently
hoping to deliver the knockout
blow within the next four or five
months.
Pinkley said the strain of ex
haustion has begun to show on
the faces and in the daily life of
Germans over 35 years of age,
! who he saw just a few days ago
in Berlin.

Young Men for Hitler
He stated, however, that the
1 youth of Germany, between 15
1 and 35 yi ars of age, are still
! fired . h fervent faith in the
cause of Hitlerism, lie said that if
'a ea 1 were to come for a million

sion, a good million of thesi
younger men would step forward
with ut hesitation,
i A- to Great Britain, the news
man said the British are depend

the long haul. English military
men have told him, h; said, that

E tlda Weld People Together
Pinkley claimed the day-to
day air raids cf thi British Isles
hav welded the p. iple together
in their cause as nothing else
cou d have done.
He bell ved Britain's greatest
need at present is ships.
Pinkley said in his opinion
there is only a 59-50 chance that
Germany will actually invade
Greece by force. H believed that
there is no question that Turkey
will fight, if she is threatened
by invasion, or if the Dardanelles
are s riously endangered.
Need Capable Administrators
Germany's greatest problem at
this point, said Pinkley, is fill
ing the occupied c ountriiwith
competent civil administrators.
Pinkley witness d recent pol
itical demonstrations in Moscow,
Russia, he declared, is still a ques
■ i a mark. Ju.-t recently she out
all' shipments of oil and gasoline
to Bulgaria^ as an expression of
sentiment against the German oc
cupation of Bulgaria.
An indication to Pinkley that
Ru- ia is anticipating no trouble
is the fact that civilians have
been issued no protective equip
ment. such as gas masks and that
the city of Moscow, itself, is vir
tually without anti-aircraft de
f nses.
| Thailand & Indo
China Sign Jap
ans Peace Pact
TOKYO, March 11 — Thai
land and French Indo-China sign
ed the Japanese sponsored peace
agreement ending their border
dispute. The treaty gives Thailand
part of Cambodia and Laos Prov
inces embracing some of Indo
china’s richest rice productive
area.
Diplomatic circles in Tokyo ex
pressed the belief Japan already
has received assurances she
could purchase the total rice crop
and timber output in the ceded
areas.
Japan is short of both these
products.
It is understood Thailand has
acquired some 25,000 square mil
i-s of territory, which is some
what short of the concessions she
claimed.
The Thailand high command at
Bangkok, capital of Thailand an
nounced on the eve of final settle
ment at Tokyo of the frontier
dispute with Indo-China, that
hostilities had brok. o out again
along the border with the French
colony.
The communique charged
French troops fired on a Thai
land patrol along the northern
sector of the frontier. A French
patrol w*s said to hav,? been
driven out of the neutral zone by
Thailand troops.

To Americans

velt, wife of the President, sug
gest d that the American people
i forego the thrill of buying a new
spring model automobile and put
the mom y into government sav
ings bonds instead. The First
Lady strongly recommended the
pu.rchas,: of government bonds,
so that there would be more
money available for peacetime
spending.
She said that if automobile
plants did not have to produce
more equipment for national de
fense and aid to Britain. Mrs.
Roosevelt said she had not dis
cused her idea with auto deal
ers but added they obviously
would not lose money sine, they
already have more orders than
they can fill.
The First Lady's statement ap-1
peared to forshadow government
listing of del nse material in the
interests of the defense program.
She mentioned aluminum as in.
line for the list, since aluminum
is one of the much ne ded war
materials.

Germany never wo.u'd succeed in
crushing what he called the true
spirit of Norway.

“The fact that 30(3 young men
volunteered to fight against the
Nazis is proof in itself of how
the Norwegians f. el. The retal
iation taken by the Nazis can
best be described as superb. It
can serve only to inflame the
hatred felt for their ruL-.”

Hints And Ideas
For Housewives
When hanging ettrtoi . that
tie back, draw the shade :o the
d sired height where you wish to
place the ties. By this method
there will be no tr ible in get
ting both sides tied evenly
Use small bott'e, p- rS rrably
those of cylindrical shape, for
hoiks and eyes, snaps, needles,
' nitons and other small findings.
It’s easy to see then just what
you have in your s uing basket.
Children’s mittens can be made
from old wool sox wth ribbed
tops. Place child’s hand on the
sock in such a position as to have
the elastic top form the wrist
band for the mitten. Cut around
hand and thumb in the shape of
a mitt n, allowing for seam and
stitch.
Recipe cards can be wiped off
and kept clean by giving them a
thin coat of colorless she’lac af
ter the recipe is written.
