PENETRO PENETRO BASE RICH IN MUTTON SUET (Hannegan Expects Real Tussle In 1946 Elections BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Feb. 28-(LP)-Chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic national committee, belleves today that It will cost quite a lot of money to lick the Republicans for the ninth consecutive time next year. The 1946 congressional elections will determine control of house and senate.

All 435 house seats will be at stake and 32-one third--in the senate. Democrats now have a majority of eight in the senate and 25 In the house. Next year all hands will be without the support of A presidential campaign. That will add to Democratic problems.

Unless the German defense 1s wholly unequal to the task of making a stand against the terrific striking-power that General Eisenhower is employing, we must expect Nazi Field Marshal von Rundstedt to counter attack shortly. In fact such blows normally would have been deilvered already.

This calls for reserves. and the position hinges on whether the greatly weakened Hitlerites have them. If Rundstedt lacks reserves, then he is Indeed in mortal danger, for both his flanks are being turned while center is being hit by American First and Ninth army forces which Berlin estimates At 600,000, Alternative Is Withdrawal The Nazi marshal's alternative to making a. on the Cologne plain would be to withdraw across the Rhine. As I previously have explained, this crossing would be A most hazardous operation, since it would expose a retreating army to the full fury of the Allied air power.

It is Elsenhower's hope that the Germans will stand and fight west of the Rhine, so that he may annihllate them.

Things are going well, Russians Getting Set Meantime the Russians are getting set for what may be the final drive to reach Berlin. The focal point of their attack is likely to be southeast of the capital across the Neisse river and through the city of Cottibus. While they are maneuvering for position in this sector, they are making a further drive into Pomerania to lessen the danger of a German counter attack against the Red northern flank when the push against Berlin is in full swing. As this Allied vise of death tightens about Nazidom, Fuehrer Hitler is trying to buttress the fortitude of his people, with the philosophy of despair country already has taken so bad a beating "there is no greater terror in store for us." He undoubtedly recognizes that this is a heavy understatement of fact, since only now are the Allles in position to exact full payment for their long spade- work. That payment is going to be tough on the debtors.

Has No Roof In this connection I call your tention to the terrific blows which are being directed against the reich by the "Invisible air. Ever since Hitler embarked on his scheme to enslave Europe he has had as his ace-in-the-hole (just case something went wrong and he had to fall back on the defensive) his so-called inner-fortress. That comprised the heavily fortified frontiers of the reich within which he would be safe from all the armles of the world or so he thought. But the Hitlerian intuition overlooked that while his fortress had powerful walls, it didn't have roof. Now the Allied bombing fleetsthe greatest ever flung Into the skies-are taking advantage of burst of good weather to rip the heart out of Hitler's fortress.

While the Alted ground forces are smashing huge gaps in the perimeter of the Nazi fortress, their warplanes are wiping out the resources upon which he has depended to repair such damage. Thus not only is the air destroying great sections of the structure which has been holding up the fighting fronts, but the smashing of transport facilities has cut Berlin and other cities off from many necessities of life. Within these stricken places countless thousands of civilians will die. Increased Vacation Allowances Granted To Railroad Workers Chicago, Feb. 26.

(AP) Increased vacation allowances with pay have been granted to more 800,000 railroad workers in labor approved agreement which is subject to review by the government under the stabillzation program.

The company, in making its "loafing" accusation. said the men refused to meet specified production rates. In reply to this, the union charged the company. with a "speed up." "By continuing the strike, the union will endanger the wAr work of 67,000 Chrysler employes, doing war work in the Detrolt area, and 34,000 employes turning out vitally needed B-29 engines in the Chicago plant," a Chrysler spokesman declared.
