RACE TO BERLIN
LORD LOVAT’S COMMENT HOPES THE RUSSIANS WIN (Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, Mar. 22. Britain’s tough, dashing 33-year-old Commando leader, Lord Lovat, wants the Russians to get into Berlin first. Lord Lovat, who is returning to England after a visit to the United States, said: “ I believe the Russians will get to Berlin first, and I hope they do. The Russians suffered terribly from the Germans, and they will not be IT
as good-natured as we would when they get there. Unfortunately, we have a habit of becoming kind-hearted when we hear a hard-luck story.” Lord Lovat said he did not think it would be necessary for the Allies to fight village for village through Germany. He expected a civilian collapse first. Lord Lovat was wounded six days after D-Day. He expects to return to action.
