tune whose beautiful blonde actress
wife helped have him from a firing
squad by sending her picture to
General Franco, finally was a free
man tonight.
Along with sever other Americans
who fought for the Spanish repub-
llcan army, Dahl, after nearly three
years as a prisoner of war, await.
ed only a boat ride for his return
to the United States.
(The news was too good for his
wife, Edith Rogers Dahl, to be.
lleve. In the Philadelphia night
club where, with the billing "She
Stopped the Firing Squad" she is
doing a Spanish dance speciality,
she refused to celebrate until she
got official word from the U. S
state department - because "I've
heard it so many times before.")
Dahl and his companions were
the last of 106 American prisoners
released since the war ended last
March. Most Of them were cap
tured fighting with the Abraham
Lincoln battalion on the Ebro river
in 1888.
The United States embassy an
nounced the release of Dahl and
the other prisoners. Tonight Dahl,
Clarence ALIVE Blair Of Red Gran
ito Wis or1 Co1,, IJ,Lo, ,f Nro-,

sail on the American export liner

morrow.
Others released - after interven-
ton of the State department in
Washington are Lawrence FAINT
Doran, listed in records here as a
native of Los Angeles whose wife
lives at 1898 Liberty Ave, South
gate, Calf; Anthony Peter Kehr.
Ticker, a native Of Poly county, Ia;
Rudolph Opara, of Cleveland; ALT
Abdreasea, naturalized American
from Norway and Conrad Stojewa,
of California.
All fought with the Spanish re-
publicans against Franco. They are
the last American captives to he
released by the nationalist govern.
ment. Since last March, the month
in which the civil war ended. 50
others have been freed.
Dahl, Doran, Kehrlicker and Op-
ara were at various times under
death sentence, but the terms had
been committed to imprisonment for
thirty years.
Despite their long Imprisonment,
however, they were said by Earl T.
Grain, third secretary of the United
States embassy, to be in good
health.

With a huge reservoir of man.
power behind it, however, it speedily
grew to be the largest in the world.
Originally Red army strategy was
built upon the basis of strict de-
Tense. Only in 1888 was the idea in
troduced by Marshal Klementi
Voroshiloff, var commissar, of de-
Tending the Soviet Union by fighting
on enemy territory.
Once this idea became dominant
there was increased emphasis On
mechanization, aviation and fast
motorized units necessary to carry
the war into enemy territory.
Changes in army statutes were in.
troduced, and the oath of the soldier
was changed. The new oath, sworn
to by the troops for the first time
on Red Army day in 1888, merely
pledged the soldiers allegiance to is
superiors. Previously he had TAX
allegiance to the communist cause
of "~liberating" the worlds workers.
Good Examples
In the opinion of the Russians the
march of the Red army into Poland
last year and the present Finnish
campaign r classical examples of
defending the Soviet by offensive
strategy.

WASHINGTON

BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-An explanation of
Nazi demands that German farmers plant
abundantly this spring is contained in a study
of Nazi food conditions made by a united

His conclusion is: Germany can feed her
workers and soldiers we'll until about Septem-
Der /, then shortages Of important 1000 ele-
ments, principally meats, fats, fruits anu Vese-
tables, will begin to wear down morale.
The trouble lies in the fact that Just at the
time her usual sources of imported 1ooos are
cut off by the blockade, Germany must sup,
port demands for larger rations for soldiers anu
munitions workers.
Workers Need More Food
