SAFE DRIVING
By Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.
KEEP YOUR AUTO
MECHANICALLY FIT

With the best driving months and
heaviest traffic at hand, it cannot be
repeated too often that motorists
should keep their cars in good mechan-
zeal condition.
They should check their cars now
for the following accident breeders:
1. Wheels out of alignment. In adj
dition to interfering with safe steering,
wheels that are badly out of alignment
wear out tires in a fraction of their
normal lives.
2. Excess play in steering wheel is
a danger signal and should be elm
mated. The steering apparatus may
break down on sharp curve.
3. Tires that are badly worn, have
side-wal or rimcuts, or bulgeS tenn
porarily repaired with boots, are a
constant blowout hazard.
A. A leaky exhaust manifold or
muffler may permit carbon mOnOxide
gas to escape into the car and overcome
driver and occupants. 1t is a major
cause of failing asleep at the-wheeI'
accidents.
S. Brakes that do not hold, that
chatter, ir grip unevenly may cost you
your life.
6. Leaky fuel tanks and fuel sup
ply lines are invitations to flaming
death.
Z. Lights that suddenly fail make
business for undertakers. Make sure
that headlights are properly focused.
Wash headlight lenses frequently.

LETTERS FROM
The FRONT

JOSEPH j. RUSS gives a vivid de-
scription of army life at Fort Leon
ard Wood, Missouri, in letter TO Inc
Miner. Built in the beautiful ozark
mountains, the camp is being land
scaped to harmonic with the sur
rounding country.
Containing $4,000 acres, the tort Is
occupied by the entire sixth DIVISION
composed of some 10000 men, counting
attached units. 1t is known as the
sightseeing Sixth.
Streets and avenues are named after
states, and Russ remarks that 1t Is
home-like down Minnesota avenue.
The drilling of recruits is the
most important activity now" he says,
for we expect to go on maneuvers
the middle of August.
The weather is quite warm he says,
and when it rains it is a deluge. He
SAYS it was a real treat when he saw
JOSEPH LANFRANCHI, from the old
home town, who came to the camp
with an anti-tank unit.
JOSEPH A. STARTz, now stationed
at King City, Calf, writes the man.
euvers that 10000 men, of which he is
one, are now on are all work. Two
armies of $4,000 men each are
locked" in battle over the hot Cal
ifornia countryside, he says, as part
of their rigid training.
While the days are very warm, the
nights are cold, Startz states. The
country is very dry, and he says thai
it reminds him of desert.
Despite the heat and work, army
life is great, he declares, and there i
little time to get lonesome.
Another Ely boy, WARREN S
CHILDERS, is taking part in the same
maneuvers as Startz but he failed II
get the same kick out of it.
ChiIders writes at length about tar
antulas, disease-carrying ground SPUR
reIs, and the like, the combating o
which is as serious as actual f1elt
work. Camp members were warnet
not to pick up dead squirrels, and on
boy who did, Childers said, was glVel
what is known as G.. I. bath, AM
his clothes went through sterilizel
He was kept in the hospital for seyers
DAYS for observation and given shot
that work decidedly on a person"
Childers decribes a rodeo in Kin
City, bucEing bronchos, bull-doggin
steers, trick riding, and roping, wit
an added attraction, soldiers, VIII
were quickly taken into custody whe
they started anything by a group
busy M. P.'s.
The army is rapidly forming i
own slang language, he continues, wit
soldiers referred to as "doggies"
"dog-faces," medical soldiers as "pil
rollers" air students as "penguins
and the like. Anyone complaining
told to "quit beating his gums" if
gets too vociferous.

Yates rating and also fifth ella

specialists rating and Is acting as
supply sergeant, says he aspect to
take an examination for sergeant soon.
A letter from THEODORE w.
JOHNSON and A. L. MARKOVITCH,
both in the regular army at Warren
ton, Oregon, says that they viii be
transferred to Alaska the end OF
June.

Doctors Defer Weighing
HOSPITALS S Smallest Baby

Fed with an eye dropper, the
smallest baby ever born at George
Washington University Hospital was
doing satisfactorily today. although
doctors decided against weighing her
to see how much she had gained or
lost since her birth week ago, when
she weighed 26l4 ounces.
The baby'S mother, Mrs. LIE Row
Bonbrest, l144 Branch avenue Sc.
has not yet seen her daughter, Bette
Gay, who is living in an incubator.
Hospital officials said the baby
probably would not be weighed for a
month. I'VE don't want to handle
her any more than we have to-" 1t
was explained.
Meanwhile. at Galiinger Hospital,

OF Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Griffith, 72O

unusually fortunate" to have lived
as long as she has. Baby Griff1th
was born October 4 and was taken tn
the hospital five days later.
She weighed 27la ounces when she
went TO Gallinger and the ounces
nave f1uctuated since. She weighed
26 ounces this morning.
Her condition was described as
critical. mo baby of that size could
be considered in excellent condition :"

armament factories are relatively
few. If the Germans, supported
by the Firms, can reach Lenin-
grad in a short space of time
the most important ammunition
plant, the Putiloff works, will
fall into their hands and the
Russian mechanical forces, re-
lying on Tess complete arms fac
tories, would be seriously han
dicapped.
AT this time of the year, when
the ground is dry the German
Panzer divisions can progress
rapidly. The trouble would start
in the late fall when the down.
pours would make the ground i'm
passable for the German units,
Hence, the German high COM
mand is likely to have considered
the situation from every angle

troops to advance he must have
had the definite assurance of his
specialists that this was going to
be another military promenade.

months-the prospects of Russia
caving in under the blows of
Hitler's mechanical forces are
great. In such an event the
Fuehrer will not have to fear the
blockade, since almost anything
that is needed for a long war
can be found in the u. S. S. r.
But what is watched with
greater eagerness and concern is
Japan's attitude in this affair.
1t is conceivable that, as soon
as the Russian armies begin TO
totter, Japan will see its chance
to round up its empire in North
ern Asia and will attempt TO
conquer the maritime provinces
and in all likelihood the whole
Of Siberia.
This province is well defended
by the Russian forces. At least
100000 men and upwards of 1000
planes were there at the outbreak
of the World War. Whether the
same force still is in Siberia now
is one of those secrets the Rus
slams have not been willing to
let out. But, in the event the
Soviet troops lose heart and are
not able to withstand japanese
attack, the prospects of Japan
and her allies - the European
end of the Axis-capturing a
territory where an imposing
aviation can be maintained is
not cheering.
Stains Chances Doubted.
The possibility of the Eastern
hemisphere being attacked from
a territory situated only a few
hours flight is no longer fiction.
1t is a really serious problem
which our naval and military
strategists might now take into
account. And the question which
arises in the minds of most pro-
fessionals is whether We are to-
day in a position to continue to
help Britain and meet the inevi-
table Axis aggression on two
fronts.
On the whole, our military OBJ
servers take a peSsimistic view
over a lengthy resistance of
Stalin's armies against the Axis
forces. The Russian Army is
large-maybe too large. Stain
has paid much attention to the
mechanical end of its prepared
ness. But judging from the
showing it has offered the world
in the campaign against Finland,
the quality of the armament of
the Russians together with the
strategic conception of its lead
ership is far from encouraging.
The Russian soldier is excellent.
The officer crop is poor. The

South Slavs and their subsequent
fate could not have been worse
than that which now awaits them,
if their turn arrives on the care
fully arranged Nazi schedule, and
it would probably have been much
better for the Germans who have
been greatly weakened not only
physically but morally by such
setback. We have our chance now,
as the Russians had in April, to
upset the Nazi time. Perhaps we
shall prove better able to grasp and
use that chance for our own selves.

morale of the army has been
shot to pieces since the drastic
purges of Stain.
In addition to this, it must be
remembered that between Sep
tember, 1889, and May, 1941, the
Germans and the Russians have
been friends" That is to say
that thousands of German Off
GERS and specialists" have been
in the Soviet factories and in
the various Russian Army units.
How many "Quislings" they have
been able to find nobody knows.
But on the basis of past expe-
riences, it would not be surpris-
ing if Der Fuehrer does not have
a number of anti-Stalinites in
cold storage.
Nazis Know Soviet Terrain.
The tactics used by the Ger
mans in the present war are, ac-
cording to the descriptions which
have so far reached us fror.I the
battle front, the same as en-
ployed against Poland. The Ger
man Luftwaffe which has excel
lent information about the loca-
ton of the Russian airdromes-
German specialists have helped
build and camouflage them-is
attempting now to destroy many
enemy planes on the ground. In
the meantime, the Reich mech
aniZed forces are breaking every
resistance and are attempting TO
demoralize the Soviet armies
which have only belatedly con-
centrated against them. The
terrain is better known to the
German general staff than in
Western Europe. For years the
German high command has been
studying the Ukraine and the ter
ritory around Moscow and Len
ingrad and it is safe TO say that
the German armies are moving
in Russian territory with the
same knowledge as if they were
maneuvering in their own coun-
try.
The Soviet government is faced
with another handicap-even if
the armies could hold out against
the Germans. In spite of the
various 5-year plans of the Soviet
regime, the industrialization of
Russia has been slow and her
