In London an aviation au- thority said that during the per- ind March 20 to April 20 the Germans lost 140 planes in al- tncks on Malta, 28 more than the R. A. F. lost in all ltl stepped-up raids on Germany during the some period.

Some observers oolnted to the accelerated rate at which Mal- ta's defences have been knock- lnrr down Axis planes as possible evidence that the nlr garrison WIIS reinforced Feb. 18 when the Royal Navy got a convoy to Valeltn.

The Axis has assaulted Malta more than 2,000 times since It. aly got into the war, sending sometimes more than a dozen (vlvavrs of planes over in a single ay.

War Situation Last Night

(By KIRKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Press Stall Writer) A striking eye witness review of weather conditions on the Rus- rr front by an Associated Press reporter lends emphasis to Mos- cows contention that Hitler's long-heralded drive for Caucasian oil ls definitely off schedule.

Henry Casaldy, in a flight over the Caucauu and up the Volga to Igulhyshev, found the winter mow line retreating swiftly north- war .

“The laud now is fit. for largo-scale operations tn the south," he said, with “the Caucasus hard and dry under a. warm sun."

Hitler's last word as to when he would strike again in Russia atyled it n. summer, rather than a. spring campaign.

O O O U

Berlin spokesmen wave ulde the question of a Hitler change from a spring to n. summer ca ' as inconsequential. But history shows that such changes are not to be regarded lightly.

Hitler's mlsjudgment by only a matter of weeks of the Russian capacity to resist and of the time it would take him to reach and enter the Rostuv gateway Into the Caucasus brought his armies close to disaster ln the east lust year.

Hitler turned his ‘ ' against Yugoslavia on April (i, 1941. It. took him approximately 10 weeks to achieve his Balkan victory and

0n June 21, he turned on Russia. t i O O

Just live months, later on Nov. 22, Berlin announced the capture of Rostov. Seven days later, on Nov. 29, Moscow announced its re- capture and the Nazi winter retreat was on. Hitler had lost his race with time and the six-month Russian winter was upon him. His chance of a quid: and conclusvle victory in Russia was gone because of the delay caused by the Balkan campaign.

The Russians’ winter strategy was aimed largely at. harassing German lines at crucial points to keep enemy forces so deployed on the defensive that they could not be mused southward for a spring march to oil. This march has not. yet. started. despite the firm ground and warm suu in the Caucasus. This strongly supports the Russians’ thesis that the effect of their winter campaign has been far more important than the actual territory regained, It has cost Hitler a. time lnss he can ill afford.
