SOVIET MAN POWER
TO PLAY IMPORTANT PART

Russian man power may play an
important part in the struggle to
come. Out OF a population Of
more than 1s0. 600. 900. Russia could
probably raise 10000. 900 men. A
large part OF them would not be
trained, and the problem Of equip
ment would be colossal.
Yet they could be used in large
numbers in guerrilla warfare and
the type Of hsrassing tactics which
has enabled the Chinese TO hold out
against the superior Japanese
army. despite vastly inferior equip
ment both in the air and on land.
As fast as the Chinese are moved
down, more Chinese spring up to
take their places. II is the CHI

A pretty, dark eyed, 1e-year-old Indian girl of New Haven, ramed Tewwhawnnie, which means Silver Pawn in the Mohawk language, has entered the IVA machine shop as an apprentice machine operator in order that she may follow the heritage of Indian wc- men and become one of "the girls behind the men behind the guns" in defense of the land where her ancestors once roamed.
 Silver Pawn, whose English name is Carol Thompson, hopes to take her place in some arnna- lnent factory after her three month training in the MA machine shop. The little Indian maid has entered upon her machine shop career inspired by the stories and lengends told to her by her aged grandmother, patrioch of her fast dwirdling tribe. among these tales handed down to her Is one about the duty of the squaws and young folk of the tribe when the war drums and tom-toms beat out the call to the braves to the war-path.
 Terwhawnnie says It would have been her duty then to bring up the rear of the fighting men and sharpen the tommy -hawks, tight en the bow strings and refill the empty quivers and today she feels that 1t is orly what her great grandfather, Chief Gray Eagle, of the MohawiEs would expect her to do, work to help the fighting braves.
 As part of her training course with the IVA she is turning out parts on her lathe for the U. s.
