 For Civilians

NEW YORK - The El-=s5 S-.a- es Army called -.317 -1vslzsz skiers ef the nation -o char --z-lz and terrain lup1r-a-. from . military viewpoint. and to a-. = scouts under the direction of c neral Army Headquarters T. $ the first time since the Indian Wars that civilian scouts have been used by the Army.
 In a four-point order setting forth the duties of volunteer skiers, the National Ski Patrol Syst-m was designated as the official co-ordinating organiza- ton because it is already organ ized to function on a national scale.
 The System was established three years ago for the purpose of preventing accidents in ski ing and of applying first aid res cue knowledge when accidents occur. Composed of more than 2,0O0 trained skiers, it extends though the snow country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even includes Alaska
 Ear y this year, with the step ping up of the defense program, C. M. Dole, and J. E. P. Morgan, representing the parent organiz ation of the System, the National Ski Association, offered the serv- ic S of all members to General George C.

Oil for Russia'S Tanks

Oil for RusSia'S Tanks
 Of all these, the Russians pro- bsbly are worried most about :heir industrial production. For +o year@long before the Com r-u-ists took over RuSsia-that na t1u1 was trying 10 develop the FaE industrial and hydro-electric capacity of the Don and Dneip-r valleys
 The Communists under StalIn have intensified the effort. They sav= -slsed their oil production as 1-= point where it is the grza. es1 IT me Near East-well over 1aG million barrels a year-and capable of sustaining any big rT machine in the world. Cs ot .aeir l2 planned hydro elzcc-5c plants has just been com Plz-ed ia that area.
 The best informed observers here believe the Russians are reasoning that those troops are not healthy for the future of Rus sls. even though the Germans should at this time have no de signs against Stalin.
 The picture before the Russians is a picture of Germany in ser ious need of another victory in the near future. They may as sume the Germans will continue to assault the British Isles. But they also may assume that the acts of Congress and the Presi- dent of the United States approv ing aid to Britain are sufficient 10 cast some doubt over German success against the British
 They may also assume that no military command can afford to overlook any opportunity to Sc cure success. Hsnce, the ship ment of troops into the Balkan states, first to insure a contin- ujng supply of wheat and oil to Germany and second and incid- entaIly to lay out both defensive and offensive military plans for those troops. No military high command that failed to take out such insurance would be worthy of its assignment.

Resources Are Temptation

From the Russian point of view therefore the Germans might be tempted to turn eastward in case they failed to register victory against England next summer. For there lie all the materials an exhausted Germany would need to replenish her military stocks.
 American observers tell you Russia must remember Germany found it necessary to invade the Ukraine during the World War, primarily for its wheat. It is far more tempting now, what with huge hydo-electric plants, big iron and chrome mines and vast oil production also available.
 This tempting prize must be protected by the Russians. They must send some of their best div isions down to the Black Sea and

What Does it Mean, Arrival of German Troops in Balkans
By MORGAN NJ. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON Nearly three quarters of a million German troops in the Balkans can only mean to the Russians that their industrial heart Is exposed to the possible thrust of military dag ger.
 It matters not whether Hitler intends to use those troops az ainst the Russians just now. II matters not whether he Is mere Iy setting up a mystery force to worry both the English and the Russians.
 The fact remains that the Ger mans are in a position to drive the Russians away from the Dan ubian basin, then attack the Uk raine-where the bulk of Russia's agricultural and industrial and raw material production is cen tered.

.Schenck Says Fear
OF Strikes Kept Him
Quiet About Extortion
Didn't Report Alleged
Bioff Demands for Six
Years, Court Told

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Fear of
strikes and other things" was given
by Movie Executive Nicholas M.
Schenck yesterday as the reason he
did not report alleged extortion de-
mands made on his company by
West Coast Labor Leader Willie
Bioff.
Testifying in Federal Court, where
Bioff and George E. Browne, presi-
dent of the A. F. l.. international
Alliance of Theatrical Stage En-
ployes are on trial on charges Of
violating the Federal Anti-Rack-
eteering Act, Mr.. Schenck said he
kept silent on the matter from 1885
until last spring because:
L was afraid of what would
happen to our buSiness-afraid 1t
would be destroyed by strikes and
other things"
In previous testimony under cross
examination, Mr.. Schenck said an
original demand of 100000 was
made on the movie industry by Bioff,
and in direct testimony asserted this
amount later had been cut to ST.
100000 and finally reduced to $50, 900
from each of the four major movie
companies and 5000 year from
smaller companies. Mr.. Schenck,
who is president of Loew's, Inc. said
he personally had paid Bioff 100000
as the result of the labor leaders
demands and that other payments
had been made by his company, al
though he himself did not make
them.
Bioff and Browne are charged
specifically with extorting $550,000
from four major film producers
under threat of calling a crippling
strike. and Mr.. Schenck disclosed
he did not complain to the United
States attorneys Office until spring,
when his brother Joseph, former
board chairman of Goth Century
Fox. was convicted of income tax
evasion.
Tells of Paying S50,000.
The Governments second witness,
David Bernstein, treasurer of Loew's,
testified that in April, 1886, Nicholas
Schenck directed him to get $4,000
in cash and told him of Bioff's de-
mands. The witness said he drew
the money from New York bank
and turned it over to Mr.. Schenck.
He added he did the same thing at
Mr.. Schenck's direction the follow
ing year.
Questioned by Boris Kostelanetz
assisting United States Attorney
Matthias P. Correa, Mr.. Bernstein
said the money was his own and
not the company's.
Mr.. Bernstein said he had been
reimbursed for the full amount and
testified that this was done by hav-
ing officers of the company increase
their expense vouchers until the in
crease amounted to the sum due
him.
