Capper, paster ef the it First Baptist Church. Burial 1st' A By Allies Next Year By WILLIAM B. DICKINSON (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Sept 29. Prime Minister Churchill said in a speech yesterday that huge Allied armies and more powerful air forces will be hurled against the enemy In the next 12 months, but warned that the war may continue into September. 1945.

He pok at Royal Albert Hall at a closed meeting of (,000 women delegates representing several million British women engaged in the war effort. The text of the speech was not released until early today. Apparently referring to the promised opening of a front In western Europe, Churchill said: "In the forthcoming year, you will see larger armies fighting and you will see more powerful air forces striking at the heart of the enemy country." Labor Mlnlstec Ernest Bevln, in a companion speech, also made a cautious reference to the coming offensives, asserting that the war's "most Intense period" Is being reached. "It will be touch and go this winter and early spring," he said. "We cannot reveal to you all that lies in store during that period, but it does represent possibly the greatest task Britain has ever had to face." Though Churchill did not elabo rate on the Allied plans, he said they must be supported by con tinued total effort on the home front "We are fully extended now and what we have to do is to hold it," Churchill said.

"What we have to do is to maintain this effort through the fifth year of the war, or the sixth year of the war, if need be, for we will never stop until we have achieved our purpose." Churchill's speculation that the war might continue through a sixth year through Sept. 3. 1945 was believed to include the. campaign in the Far East as well as that In Europe.
