WEAKENING OF MORALE
A MILITARY DECISION (Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Diplomatic circles in Washington believe that the evacuation of Berlin reflects a weakening of morale both in the Government and among the German people, and may even mean that Hitler and his chief aides have lost authority and that affairs are now in the hands of military officials, says the New York Times. This reasoning is based on the assumption that only a hard-boiled military decision could have produced the order for the evacuation. It is considered impossible that the order emanated from the political high command, in view of the Nazis’ assurance to the German people that Berlin could not be bombed.
