JUB-O-MECH Air Offensive May Be Allies Se^nd Front Ihe Axis still Is worrying—and guessing—about what sort of an attackme Allies intend to launch against Oermany or Italy this sum* mer In Zhirope. Unidentified but evidently com* petent observers in Swltserland Thomas F. Eawklns of the Associated Presr that in their opin ion the constant and devastating attacks on Germany might wen be the answer. ■Germany herself Is the ‘'Second li^vnt” — not some distant coast al point, from which it would take months and thousands of lives to actually p^etrate into the Nasi bomelara. '^e last war finally was decided by the crushing weight of Amer ican production. We are less than a month away from the time It took us to break Germany in 1911, and it doesn’t appear such a col lapse .is likely again in the tan- mediate future. _ . But our output DOW dwarfs that of Uie prerious war in every respect, and from London came the. encouraging news that pro duction ef munitions in Great Bri tain for the first three months of 1949 was 40 per cent over the same period in 1942. Axis production, on the other hand, is bound to be on the down grade because of the tons of bombs dropped mi her vitally essCTtial factories and transportation toes. It is no wonder Germany must husband her remaining strength. Our fliers have returned from their raids over the Ruhr with stories of the damage done, but the best evidence that Oermany is being burtr-end hurt badly — comes from the Axis radio itss“; and from the neutral capitals of Bern and Stockholm. IMspatches from Swiss conw sDondents In Genndny dlscloeed that the entire Ruhr Valley now is virtually a military sone, with authorities constanUy more cot- cemed over the effects of w In cessant bombing. This Is not only because of what It does to pr^ ductlon. Civilian morale is bo^ to drop under such a potmdlng, even Hitler won t be able to mainUip a 80)^1 Iront m- tSL.
