Reports of serious disaffection in German-
occupied countries of Europe came from va-
rious capitals Friday.
Stockholm reported a state of siege had
been declared at Aalesund, on the west coast
of Norway, as the result of sabotage and big
anti-German demonstrations.
A German official news agency dispatch from
Belgrade reported 90 "Communists" had been exe-
cuted in the Banat region of northeastern Yugo-
slavia for sabotage. Several days ago more than 100
"Communists and Jews" were shot for sabotage in
the Belgrade region, Hungarian dispatches had re-
ported.
Despite the executions, Budapest newspapers
rerorted that Communists and terrorists" were con-
tinuing to operate in Belgrade. A German soldier
and Serb policeman on sentry duty outside the state
hospital were reported killed Tuesday morning.
A United Press Ankara dispatch quoted diplomatic
sources that the Germans had sent 25,000 more troops
to Yugoslavia because of continued guerrilla activity.
Another Ankara dispatch quoted travelers from
Greece that there were between eight and 10 deaths
a day in Athens from starvation and that men
fainted daily in the strcets from hunger.
The travelers said Ilie Greeks were "recklessly"
pro-Brltish. harbored many hundreds of British sol-
diers caught there when the British expeditionary
force left, held their fingers to their nostrils when
German and Italian troops passed in the streets,
cheered all British war prisoners, and left restau-

Friday—radio loud speakers which

Welles indicated earlier in the day
that nothing short of full amends

In the senate Friday, the recent
Japanese thrust into Indo-China
brought the future status of the Phil-
ippines into question. Under the pres-
ent law, the commonwealth of the
Philippines would become a sovereign
republic, July 4, 1946.
Senator Austin (R., Vt.), acting mi-
nority leader, said that "the entire
Philippine question should be re-
examined in the light of recent

Schulenberg. it was said, had opposed a German
attack on RussA on the ground that it would fall.
Radio Moscow, in a dispatch picked up at New
York by the United Press listening post, reported
from Berne that Germany's embarrassing position on
the eastern front had caused many prominent Nazis
to rush deposits to Swiss banks. Baldur von Schirach,
the Nazi "high commissioner" at Vienna: Paul Goeb-

labor front leader, and Baron Constantin von Neu-
rath, member of Hitler's cabinet council on foreign
affairs, were said to be among the depositors.
The Stockholm dispatch on sabotage at Aalesund
said Norwegian patriots had damaged German com-
munications and military establishments and that
the Germans had seized 10 leading citizens as host-
ages. When police took Ilir hostages to a ship for
transport to Germany, the dispatch said, a crowd ot

(Chicato Daily News Forelun Service )
LONDON, Aug. 1.—It is now the
studied opinion of British military
experts that the next "week or two"
will decide the ultimate course of the
, Russo-German war.
This period, it is figured, will be
sufficient to determine whether or
not the Germans have enough power,
equipment and men to exhaust Rus-
sian supplies of first-class equipment.
If they can, they may press right on
to key Russian cities, if not, the war
may develop into a standstill, which
may ultimately turn into a complete
stalemate.
A real stalemate, however, is not
expected to materialize as long as
either side has enough armored di-
visions to attack the other.
Of the two principal German drives,
one toward Leningrad and the other
in the Smolensk area, the former is
regarded as the more dangerous. Cap-
ture of Leningrad, it is pointed out.
would deprive the Russian fleet of
bases and supplies. The capture ol
Smolensk, on the other hand, would
simply mark another step on the road
to Moscow, which is still far away and
strongly defended, and It might scram-
ble up Russian communications by
cutting the railways.
Failure of the luftwaffe to ream '
Moscow and bomb it effectively is at-
tributed largely to the efficiency of
the Russian anti-aircraft defenses.
They are apparently far more effective
than the British anti-aircraft, and i
appear superior even to the mighty ' I
anti-aircraft defenses which the Royal
Air force has met in Germany.
