German Militarists Believe Frontal At- tack On West Fol- Y

(By Melvin K. Whiteluther) (Issoclated Press Staff Writer)

COLOGNE, Germany, Nov, 5_ _(AP)—Despite a popular impression in other parts of Germany that Adolf Hitler has decided to risk a \.'3Si.€l‘l"l offensive now. it is far from certain that this feeling is correct.

On the contrary. there are 1:1- dlcations that Nazi higher-ups do not know what. their next move will be or how the war will tie- velop,

There are even some grounds for the belief that Hitler is con- fident of German aiblllty to hold out and may accept the British- French tactics of fighting a long, almost exclusive trade war entail- ing German attacks on British shipping and harbors.

Under these conditions, if a dec- isive victory is to be fought on land. the two heavily fortified bul- warks must be flanked.

To skirt the Maginot llns the German army would have to go through Switzerland, Belgium or the Netherlands.
