By DeWITT MacKENZIE Hitler's hurry-worry conferences with Reads of states under his domination have brought him to the 'uppet Norwegian premier. Vidkun' Quisling; whose name smells wherever there are local noses. These parleys have been regarded generally as politico-military in nature and designed to serve a double purpose: (1) To advertise the creation of a "new for the European continent. which would offset the Allied aims promulgated at the Casablanca conference and at same time would (2) act as a bridge to obtain greater military assistance for the Reich at this critical juncture.

The Quisling confab is the fifth in line and it's interesting to note that of them have concerned areas which not only are hot invasion- but are among the weakest: links in Hiller's defensive chain. The previous talks have been with Musolini. King Boris of Bulgaria, Dictator Ion Antonescu of Rumania and Regent Nicholas Horthy of Hungary.

There's bitter territorial rivalry among Rumania, Hungary and Bulgaria, and on top of that both Hungary and Rumania are fed up with the heavy casulties suffered by their troops on the Russian front. Norway, of coure, being kept in order solely by force of arms.

All in all it would seem that worried Fuehrer is concerned very little with a "new order" and very much with tightening up his fenses against invasion. His task isn't an easy one because there many possible invasion-points he must guard every one of them, from Norway clear round southern Europe to the Balkans. So far as concerns France, gium, Holland and Denmark, ler likely feels that his preparations are as good as he can make them. The Berlin radio has been bragging about the 1,625 miles of fortifications which the Nazis claim guards the Atlantic coast very likely do, to a greater or degree. It would be foolish to underestimate the strength of this "great wall of China" which the Boche have erected along the sea.

Hitler's other fronts, however, are his headache. Norway wouldn't listen to any "new order" and awaits a chance to hang the man oppressor. Italy as a whole only has no use for him but physically smashed already and being kept going with a Nazi gen tank. The Balkans, which lin openly recognizes as a convenient invasion road for the Allies, present a real problem to Berlin. The Rumanians are bitter Hitler's award of part of Transylvanian territory to gary, and his bribery of Bulgaria with Rumanian Dobruja.

Bulgaria is fearful of the displeasure of ia and, while King Boris chose take his country into the Axis many of his people, are pro-Russian.

Invasion Forces Preparing to War Against Disease in Europe BY JOHN COLBURN London, April 21 (P) Allied invaders of Europe and the rehabilitation experts who will succeed them must be prepared to war against death dealing disease us well as against bullets, bombs and starvation. Europe's health future is linked closely with an invasion. medical -men here criphasize. The longer ir scurvy, malaria fever and typhoid fever have increased greatly. Children have been crippled by rickets and meningitis.

Recalling that in the three years after the last war more, persons were killed by famine preventable disease than died on the battie fronts, medienl experts are shaping plans to provide essential nutritional food and medical supplies as soon as Europe is invaded. Army medical staffs will hanole distribution of supplies during the actual invasion. While no definite plan has been worked out as yet for handling is delayed the worse becomes the grip of disease in both Axis and occupied countries. Epidemics al(ready have taken a firm hold in many areas. Tphus, with a mortalit rate of 30 to 70 percent.

has reached epidemic proportions in eastern and central Europe. It has been reported in the concentralion cumps in the Balkans and Norway. Tuber. culosis deaths are up 100 percent in many districts. Dysentery.

medical relict after the armies move on, one proposal would sign the difficult task to the heal organization of the league of. nations. which has done beneficial work along those lines in Poland. Greece, Rumania, Bulgaria, China. Turkey and Spain.

Children under 18 and pregnunt women will receive first call on medical and food supplics. Some idea of the enormous task that lies ahead in the children's field alone can be glimpsed from the fact that of France's 41,000,500 population. 12.000,000 are children under 18. In Belgium there are 1,500,000, out of 8,000,000. Poland has been hit worse so far by disease than any other section.

Warsaw was used by the Germans as a testing, ground of slavery, starvation wholesale climfination of populations. Deprived of necessary fats and vitamins, the people of Warsaw, like those in many other occupied territories, fell prey to disease. Exhaustion, hunger and cold forced many of them to' stay in bed. Children were malformed and suffered bone softening. Typhus cases jumped from, a early average of 480 in Warsaw to 7,818 in 1940 and were up lo 13,788 in 1942.

Informtaion here indicates that twice as many more cases Jews were unreported from the ghettos, where the German started to effectuate ler's proclaimed intention 10 the Jewish people in Europe." A similar situation is believed 10 exist in western Russia. Typhoid fever, dysentery and tuberculosis. are also taking a high in Poland. Crecholovakia reports indicate the tuberculosis death rate there are from 87 out of 10,000 population in 1939 to 185 in 1942. In Yugoslavia, tuberculosis, dysentery and mularia are prevalent.

Typhus has I broken out in several areas, particularly around Belgrude cump. France and Belgium have had the most difficulty with tuberculosis and typhoid fever. One report from France said nearly all children showed some sign of tuberculois. Scurvy, due to malnutrition, Is a major medical problem in France, the Netherlands. Norway and Greece.

Although Hitler said the Germans would be the last to suffer. and health conditions in the Reich and Axis countries are better than in most other districts, they are far from good. Reports smuggled out of Germany say there were 32.476 deaths from dysentery in December alone. In 1917, the worst year for dysentery in the last war, there were only 21.500 deaths the entire year. Tuberculosis deaths rose 33 1-2 per cent in Germany last year, the reports say.

When the Allies invade, medical men say, they will have take with them every sort of medical supply and hospital equipment. Mental problems also are expected to provide one of the most serious angles of health rehabilitation, medical expert here say that before Europeans can launch of their staggering task of reconstruclion, hundreds of thousands them will need holiday." Welfare workers are being trained here to cope with logical reactions from four years of war four years of persecution and semi-starvation for milre- lions of persons. Men who are drafting a comprehensive post-invasion program relief for Europe anticipate great 52 difficulty in go. ting people to turn to normal living and help with the the tremendous reconstruction gram. the One of the first steps will be get youths to return to classroom Sal- I studies.

Previousty, diplomatic reaction in Washington and elsewhere among Allied nations had indicated only a scornful rejection of the feeler which at had Berlin's approval, if not inspiration. Swift seconding of that spirit came from Canada who said "our countries do not wish for a more strategic truce obtained simply SO that the world may again tomorrow fall into the same faults of ambition, of imperialism, of iniquity and of sordid privileges." With booming guns and a blizof confetti and roses, the Mexicans welcomed the United States president in true fiesta fashion as his train pulled in from Laredo. Texas, after a week on the road. Mr. Roosevelt's.

entrance into Mexico at Nuevo Laredo brought to an even dozen the number of foreign lands he has visited since he became president. In addition to cruising around many tropical islands, he has visited Canada. Haiti, Panama, Colombia, Trinidad, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, French Morocco, French West Af. rica and Liberia. He brought with him the expressed belief that United States troops have vastily improved since his tour last September.

His impressions picked up in visits to camps and fields in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Arkanas were that the troops are more fit and turned out snappier, and that morale is verv. very high. He also remarked that between military training and rationing, the nation will have 0 stronger race of people. He left Washington April 13, after dedicating the Jefferson Memoria! and subsequent swing through the South, he said, renewed his belief that Washington is Jagging far behind the rest of the nation in war spirit.

An unprecedented amount of construction also is in store after the war in western Russia, where armies have been blasting at one another for two years. One of the primary jobs will be to repair communication and transport lines. Thousands of lives were lost after the last war because food and medical supplies could not be transported to stricken peoples, In some countreis.

some railroad lines have been removed completely by the Germans who needed the material on the eastern front. Allied relict planners are counting on having to supply reopened territories with essential needs for at least 18 months. Every effort will be made, however. to bolster morale by getting the local residents to help provide their OWn needs. For instance, chemical Inetories would be converted to manufacture medical supplies.

Mills would be reopened to process grains. What will be done first in the way of reconstruction food. medical supplics and clothing already have been pledged will depend on where and when the Allies strike. 11. is a Herculean task studded with all kinds of obstacles nnd ils may asume proportons greater than the complications involved in planning and waging the war itself.
