By THOMAS F. HAWKINS
BERN, Switzerland, Feb. 10.—(P)
— The German army is making
a gigantic new effort to stabilize
the front in Soviet Russia in prep-
aration for a spring offensive con-
centrated in the Mediterranean
and to the east, usually well-in-
formed persons with Axis connec-
tions said today.
The Caucasus, Egypt, Iraq and
the Suez canal were laid down by
these observers as ultimate goals
of a Nazi drive which, they said,
likely would bring Bulgaria into
action and involve Turkey.
This is the critical month.
Much depends on Germany’s
ability to solidify her positions in
northern and central Russia before
thawing snows, mud and rain make
those sectors difficult for major
operations.
The weather in the Mediter-
ranean basin will be at its best
in March when, it was stated,
the offensive is expected to
break in full blast. In one sense,
it may have begun already with
Field Marshal Erwin Rom-
mel’s comeback in Libya aided
by considerable reinforcements.
Foreign observers here who have
talked with persons recently in
Germany and the Balkans believe
that the Axis command has plans
in the making surpassing the scope
of any previous campaign and bas-
ed on this strategy:
OBJECTIVES
1. To continue withdrawing un-
der Red army pressure on the cen-
tral and northern Russian fronts to
bases closer to supply centers, striv-
ing for a fixed, positional front.
2. To make every effort to re-

) gain a lost ground in the southern
Ukraine while pressing through the
Crimea and the Donets basin to-
ward the Caucasus.
3. To work toward the objective
of ultimate unification of columns
designated to push against Egypt
with those aimed at the Caucasus,
Iran and Iraq.
4. If possible, with Bulgarian as-
sistance, to seek from Turkey at
least transit rights for a third
column as well as water rights for
transit into the Black sea.
GREATER GOAL
This gigantic scheme, foreign ob-
servers believe, is based on an even
greater goal—to work eventually in-
to Asia in liaison with Japan.
But there are some big "ifs." the
greatest and most immediate being
Germany’s ability to regain the
control required to allow neces-
sary withdrawals from Russia.
The Russians predict confi-
dently that the Nazis will be in
no position to launch any of-
fensive. They, apparently, hope
to hit such a decisive blow in
the north that it will upset
German plans in the Ukraine.
The test may be in the capacity
of Germany and Russia to marshal
and equip new armies and in the
merits of reserve men and ma-
chines. It was suggested that some
of Russia’s optimism springs, no
doubt, from the time she has had
to whip new forces into shape.
But the Germans, too, surely are
putting all they" have into their
preparations.
Reports from Germany’s Balkan
allies show they all are sharing as
much as they can. Swiss news-
paper reports assume that Reich-
marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goer-
ing negotiated for new Italian
troops during his recent visit to
Rome and that even Jacques Dor-
iot. the turncoat French communist
who led an anti-Soviet contingent
in the Nazi army, has tried to get
new recruits.
Although Germany is expected to
turn out perhaps a larger army
than ever before when spring
comes, observers point out that mil-
lions of the Nazis’ best-trained
troops and much of their equip-
ment have been lost and that their
replacements. both human and me-
chanical, may not measure up to
earlier standards.

Monday by District Manager II D.[
Austin in which it was revealed
that 79 percent • all West Texas
Utilities company employes in 166
communities already are buying U.

Hoping to enlist the other 21 per-
cent in the campaign to lick the
"Japs and the Germs." it also was
announced that a "Hundred-Per-,
cent Volunteer club" is being cr-
ganized with employes buying bonds
or stamps on a regular monthly €
savings’basis. Under this plan, de- -
posits may be made with local WTU
cashiers in the various communities
and bonds then will be issued when
sufficient funds have accumulated.
The chances were described as
"good" that 100 percent of all reg-
ular employes sooner or later will
join in a systematic purchasing
program. A preliminary survey in-
dicated that only six or seven so

now being demonstrated that I

Wheeler, who assumed leadership
of the isolationist cause in con-
gress in *1939, said no member of
his group could be accused of vot-
ing against measures for military
preparedness.
."The Truman report, the Roberts
report and other reports show where
the responsibility lies, but regard-
less of that, we are all in the same
boat now,’ he said. "We have got
to do everything we can—both iso-
lationists and interventionists—to
the war and attempt to bring about
a lasting peace so that our boys in
the future will not be called upon
to fight all over the world."
He characterized President Roose-
velt’s call for the election of a con-
gress which has supported admin-
istration policies as call for the
election of "internationalists" who
“favor his program whether it be for
the establishment of the four free-
doms or for union now.”
"What we need in congress
more than anything else are
men who will think for them-
selves and not be rubber
stamps for either a democratic
or republican leader,” he said.
“Every thinking person realizes
it is high time that men be
elected to congress who have the
intestinal stamina to stand up
and vote their own convictions
rather than be led around by the
nose by the bureaucrats here in
Washington."
The "interventionists" who fav-
ored the president’s policy in for-
eign affairs during the past two
years have little to point to with
pride, Wheeler said. He declared
that their position has not been
proven correct by events.
"If I had been one of those who
favored intervention and thought
we could lick the world with broom-
sticks, or who was constantly de-
nouncing every nation on the face
of the earth, I would want to talk
darn little now in the face of the
showing we have made up to the
present time,” he said.
SUMMARY
-Asked to sum up his position, he
asserted:
"After the war broke out in Eu-
rope, I repeatedly stated that if
there was any danger of our being
attacked, then we should keep our
ships, powder, TNT and guns in the
United States and our possessions,
rather than give them all away, and

See what a pleasure it can be to economize by
switching to this Mountain-Grown coffee that is
so much more vigorous in flavor!
Many Saving % on Coffee This Way
If you’ve been using 4 spoons of coffee for
4 cups — try using only 3 spoons of Folger’s.
If you’ve been worrying about rising
food costs, planning to economize —
don’t look for the answer in a cheap
coffee.
For years, thousands of Folger
users have been drinking the world’s
most flavorful coffee. . at a cost
that may be less than you’re paying
for average-tasting coffee now!
A Different Kind of Coffee! Most
blends today use lowland-grown cof-
fee — for the vast bulk of the world’s
coffee supply is grown in the low-
lands. But Folger’s is deliciously
different — it’s mountain-grown!
Coffee buyers pay more for these
finer, vigorous flavored, mountain-
grown coffees and rate them the
world’s finest!
And housewives recognize the dif-
ference in Folger’s, too! Over 50,000
women have written in saying they
find Folger’s economical. Many say
it’s so much more flavorful than
other coffees they’ve tried —they use
% less of Folgers— and get better-
tasting coffee in the bargain!
Try It At Our Risk! Don’t use a
cheap coffee to economize. Get
Folger’s—and try using % less on
our money-back guarantee above!
Try Folger’s today !

Thousands of women say they have been
making this saving on Folger’s every day!
Smart management, isn’t it — when you
can cut down coffee bills while stepping up
your coffee-drinking pleasure?
