WORRIED NAZIS FIND THERE ARE NO REAL PUCES SAFE TODAY AS : ALLIED PLANES SWARM THE SKIESGermans More Worried About Delay of Invasion Than Allies Who Are Now Having Their Innmg» With Dates and Times »nd Places of Battle To Be Determined by AlliesBy DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Wax Analyst Hitlerdom’s D-Day, nerves indeed have reauched a sorry state of rawness when a Berlin spokesman bursts out that “Germany would prefer for the invasion to come today rather than tomorrow.Well, that’s where the worry belongs—with the enemy. We have no cause to fret—as a lot of good folk are doing—for Allied luck is running strong. Let Der Fuehrer do the stewing.Of course Germany would like to get it over with. She’s not a country waiting with confidence in her ability to withstand the assault, for the Allies out match her everywhere, and each rising sun sees her weaker. She's just hoping that same lucky braak will ease her plight. The strain must be terrific.We had concrete illustration of this again yesterday. The Allied air fleets staged huge raids that reached the furthermost points in the perimeter of Hitler’s boasted fortress Europe.The Nazi no longer can find any place in which to hide.More than 4,500 Allied waurplan-cs, of which 4,000 were America, boldly challenged hostile skies. They hammered the French invasion coast. They streaked clear across Europe to bomb aircraft factories in Poland, and rained destruction on Germany itself. They bombed the lower Danube basin in southeastern Europe, and tore at Austria from tne south.It's no longer a question of a “second front”, or a third or fourth. Hitler is surrounded, and we are closing in.The German press declares there can be no doubt that the ori|?inal date fixed for invasion has passed. And that worries them*Possibly there was some change in date. What of it? It would be absurb to think that an absolutely inflexible date could be fixed months in advance.

There’s the Italian, offensive, for instance, where the Germans are resisting fiercely butof which our General Mark Clark seiid in a Memorial Day address at Anzio, we shall take Home “before many days have passed.” There’s the pre-invasion bombing, and the tremendous overhauling of the vast Russian war-machine. „You can’t just set D-Day like an alarm clock, but that's no cause for us to worry. What we folk on the home-front do have to worry about is whether we are putting everything we have into the war effort. It’s the home-front which must supply the wherewithal for the colossal expenditure of re^ur-cqs m the Allied assault.%That’s the thought that comes to this Memorial Day as we pay tribute to our gallant dead who have giver* their all..Dukes Becomes JudgeSfe v Wy-$gMOtis 1.T, Dukes (above) of Valdosta Is Oeoria’s new Superior court judge of 'the southerb circuit He was sworrf In by Gov.
