Merry - Go-Round, By DREW PEARSON | (Lt. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active | service with the Army.) | WASHINGTON — Allied Intelli-| gence has done its t to solve the mystery of what has happened to Hitler, but his fate and where- abouts remain one of the most carefully kept secrets of the Reich. Here are the only reliable facts| that have been pieced together. It has been established that Hitler did go to Vienna for a throat op-| eration about two months ago. He! suffers from a chronic throat ail- ment. somewhat like Secretary Hull's, and he has had several of| these operations. | Prior to this Vienna operation, it| was known that Hitler had become more and more domineering, more unbalanced, ¢nore inclined to shout | down anyone who tried to talk to him. He was always inclined to be this way, but word leaking out to, neutral countries is that he was " much more so this past summer. The supposition is, therefore, that Hitler has been quietly put away by Himmler and the party leaders, probably confined to a sanitarium. It has been noticeable to Allied military men for some time that | Hitler was not at the helm. Ger- man military operations have been too well directed. There have been no eccentric moves such 'as when | Hitler was muddling up the com-! mand. | It is not believed that Hitler was | seriously injured by last July's at- tempted assassination. The hand] grenande which exploded was in a/ briefcase in the .middle of ‘ the room, while Hitler was at one side. Only a splinter of shrapnel is re- ported to have entered his hand. As far as more skilful military operations are concerned, Hitler's absence will help the Nazis. Other- wise, it will be a more serious blow | to Germany than most people here realize, for the lower ranks of the German Army worshipped Hitler. Prisoners interviewed after capture have indicated that they were fighting for Hitler, not so much for Germany. FDR AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF One of the most controversial is- sues during the late lamented cam- paign was whether F. D. Roose- velt really exercised much influ- ence as Commandergin Chief, or whether the war was run solely by | the military. An interesting letter| in this connectjon, in which Roose- | velt in effect overruled the mili-| tary regarding food supplies in| Italy, has just leaked out. His letter, dated October 31, 1944 —the very climax'of the campaign —was addressed to Secretary of War tSimson, and read: were bFied, by “early summer” might be re- vised by dropping the word “early.” Churchill addressed Parliament after King George opened the tenth session of the Legislators who |were elected in 1935, and said Britain intended to ‘“reinforce as rapidly as possible the United| Kingdom forces” now fighting| Japan. 1 The Prime Minister announced | 3 {for the first time that the port of | g b Dgeper 1 Antwerp was finally open and is The U.
