PAGE TWO MONITOR-INDEX AND DEMOCRAT, MOBERLY, MO, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, Plans Ready On Germany's Fall Churchill Says By JAMES F. KING LONDON, Feb. 27 (IP)--Prime Minister Churchill declared today the Great Powers were completely prepared for the collapse of Germany, asserted the proposed Polish frontier would "not sow the seeds of future wars." and gave his personal assurance of Russia's good faith in plans for the peace. The British leader demanded. a vote of from Commons on the Crimea plans for a peaceful world, challenging particularly who have criticized the Polish decisions.

He promised dractic and effective steps "to render offensive action by Germany utterly impossible for generations to come," and called on Germany again to surrender. Part In Keeping Peace Churchill said the United would play "a vitally important part" in a new, far- stronger world security league "which" will, not shrink from establishing its will against the evil-doer" by force of arms. Giving the first public account by one of the principals at the momentous Crimea conference, he termed the proposed Polish boundary "the fairest division which can be made between the two countries." Stalin has given most solemn declarations" that Poland's sovereignty and independence would be maintained, he said, and "this decision has TIOW been joined in both by Great Britain and by the United States." Then Churchill added: "The impression brought back from Crimea and from all my other contacts is that Marshal Stalin and the Stviet leaders wish to live in honorable friendship and equality with the Western democracies. I feel also that their word is their bond. I know of no government which stands on its obligations more soildly than the Russian Soviet government." He declared the objective of the Great Powers was "to save the world---not to rule it," and that "the world organization cannot be based upon the dictatorship of the Great Powers." Churchill interrupted his address an hour for luncheon.

Russo-Jap Question Tip At one point the prime minister delivered: a passage which that the question of participation in the war -with Japan may have been at least raised at the Yalta conference. He said the San Francisco world- security conference opening April. 25 would bring together "all those" representatives of the United Nations who have declared -war, upon Germany and Japan by the first of March, 1945, and who have signed the "United Nations conference declaration." Among- diplomatic and parliamentary observers the question was immediately raised of whether Churchill meant that Russia might declare war on Japan by March 1--the day after tomorrow or whether he merely was referring to the tickets of admission to San Francisco for several small- er powers. Feint Berlin Attack, Strike Leipzig, Halle LONDON, Feb. fleet of 1,100 American bombers feinted another attack on Berlin where fires still burned from yesterday's record blow then swerved south today and pounded the big railroad centers of Leipzig and Halle.

The giant bomber train, protected by 700 long-range fighters, stretched for 150 miles as it roared to the targets 90 to 100 miles southwest of Berlin, As the Americans left their objectives, the German radio said formations of RAF bombers were flying in from the west and that other formations attacked from the south. It was the 15th consecutive day of powerful attacks on the Reich. A methodical destruction of Berlin from the air was continuing through the night by RAF Mosquitos which bombed the German by the light of fires started 12 hours earlier by a record force of 1,200 American bombers. The German radio said U. S.

bombers had returned to the Reich again today. Hitting Berlin for the seventh night running the Mosquito crews said they observed scores of fires burning over a wide area. The British flyers encountered only weak and erratic anti-aircraft fire. B. F.

Greater Air Power Necessary After War (Continued From Page 1) Of the AAF's strategic war against two enemies, Arnold said: The final yardstick of the war against the German military potential will be found in the battle of Germany, where shortages of oil and material now are telling on the Nazi ground forces after already crippling the Luftwaffe. The problem of destroying. Japan's industrial power "is not a simple one," but the net of air bases is closing in and "although pur air offensive is still only in its early phases, the citizen of Tokyo, and Nagoj'a already begun to have an inkling of the cost and destructiveness of modern war.

In the not too. distant future he will be impressed with its full meaning." New Jet Propelled Plane Arnold his report last month. It included official dis- closure that: The AAF is working- with three new bombers expected to be more powerful than any now in operation, 1 the giant Super- fortress. They are designated as B-35, B-36 and B- 42. A jet-propelled plane is in use, so improved as to make the present P-59 model only a trainer.

Of V-E Day Arnold said tersely: "Where possible, AAF men will be granted leave in the United States, but many and possibly most of them will go direct from Europe to the Pacific. The urgency of war may demand it." Fire Destroys Home Near Indian Creek PARIS An eight room house belonging to Ural Hays and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Hays, two miles east of Indian Creek, was destroyed by fire about 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Yanks Riding Roughshod American First Army troops fought closer than ten miles from the outskirts of Cologne after advancing more than a mile down the main road from Dueren beyond Berghausen. Gen. Eisenhower's offensive was riding roughshod over confused German units, and carried to the banks of the Erft canal at a point about midway bet-ween Cologne and Dusseldorf. The canal flows close to the along which the Germans are expected to stand. To the north, the Canadian First army the Hochwal defense line, third and last defense barrier before them and the northwest corner of the Ruhr.

The whole German stand in the north loosened, just as it did on the Col- og-ne Plain and on the approaches to the middle Rhine, where the U. S.

TKey drove on beyond and still were unchecked at last reports. A ridge guarding the Erft River now was less than three miles ahead of the assault spearheads of Lt. Gen.
