Crlm Nazi moves Against residents 0f Bohemia-Moravia

‘W, Oat. 1—(Wedneeda/y)— ' --Grim and bl00dy Nazi re- toliablou for an attempt to throw off German "protection" and re- gain independence for Bohemia- Moravia continued Tuesday as an- other 58 Czech revolutionaries fell before German firing squads.

The total number of Czechs ad- mitted in have been victims of Gestapo troubleshooter Reinhard Heydriohb drumhead justice thus rose to 88 as the third anniversary of the dlsmemberment of the Czechoslovak state was being celebrated in the Reich.

Observers who have been watch- ing the restless course of the Czech people wondered whether the outbreak had been planned for this day of the anniversary on which the post-first great war re-

public lost the first segments of its territory after a two-decade existence.

Interpreting The War News‘

(By Klrke L. Simpson) (Associatf Press Staff Writer)

In some respects, Prime Mill- ister Churchill; most recent ac- Wlmilnk to Parliament is a new "ugh-water mark in British nu- ..imlsm. It contained two start- ing statements: that Hitler now is suffering from "a very serious shortage of air power; and that British sea losses have been cut to a. new low in the last three months.

Obviously, the British author- ities belicve that the Nazi war in Russia is wearing Hitler down somewhat, and forcing him to let up in the Atlantic struggle. If that is true, the possibl ity that Hitler might call a halt soon ill Russia and again turn either erlstlvard against Egypt or westward against Britain i; very real. _ _ '

v

It is beyond lkzliiiofiilblt? belief, however, that Hitler could stop short in Russia of what seems his prime goal in launching two- front war, Russia's oil life lines. Nor could he abandon the siege 0f Iieningrad, of Odusn. or of threatened Kharkov now with- out bllffeflallfi the worst kind of blow to N military prestige.
