WASHINGTON, July 26.--Get
set for unfavorable news out of
Russia in the next six weeks.
The current advices OF official
authorities (uncoloFed by hopes)
express doubt the Reds will last
beyond September IS. That is the
ultimate peace deadline date set
in the revised Hitler timetable
following his initial setback. The
military situation unfortunately
seems TO justify the pessimistic
prospect.
The placing Of Hitler's forces as
late as last Thursday showed the
farthest advance elements OF his
9th Army were within 100 miles
of Moscow at a village called
Mojaisk. At all points the mis-
called Stain line had been pene
trated TO considerable depth excep
in front OF the city of Kiev. There
the city had been nearly sur
rounded and the Russian force.

Possible Appointees

Two names which have survived
advance discussions for such an
overall head post are those of the
assistant war secretary, Robert
p. Patterson and the OPM liaiSon
man with the President, w. L.
Bait.
Mr.. Patterson has distinguished
himself eliminating fossils and
other imbedded rock in the army
lately. Mr. Bait has established
a friendship with the President in
his undcradvertiSed new personal

but the choice of Patterson or
Bait would go further toward
establishing needed business con-
fidence and national unity.

The Background

That Is the background Of the
Junior Fifth Column. And now
for the signposts by which its
road may be recognized. Plavner
and Mines advise that. II you
are asked to join an unfamiliar
organization. you ask:
First: What kind OF democ-
racy are they interested INF"
THE Communists point to
Soviet Russia as the only real
democracy Since something
like IS per cent of the American
people believe that the Soviet
Union Is q dictatorship little diff
ferent from Mani Germany, Il
becomes obvious that these fine
distinctions must be straight
ened out before the word 'democ-
racy' Is used so loosely"
And so. ask them:
do they think that the Soviet
Union Is a democracy"
Another question to ask Is:
How does your organiEa tion
feel about Communists or Fas-
cists teaching In our schools and
holding public jobs"

Nazi Work. Too

charges. these youth groups
are doing Nazi work as wei.
How do these front groups
work."
PIavner and Mines answer:
"They do not preach Commu-
nism. That would bring them
only trouble. Except In rare
cases. they cannot make revolu-
out of high school and
coIIege students. They have.
however, at least three basic
purposes-aIl Of them destruc-
tive"
"The first of those purposes
ia 'educatioual' process to make
youth cynical and suspicious OF
all that he has been taught"
Second of the purposes is TO
Influence public opinion through
youth:
"The program, often idealistic
on the surface. Is In complete
agreement with the prevailing
Communist stand. This helps
the Communist party by leading
public opinion along the road the
Communists are travelling, hence
making the party more respec-
table. IL Is the first step-after
that Il IL easier to lead further
