When Mrs. Virginia H. G Heck

estate she inherited, and referred
to an earlier will.
That is the one which cannot

to the vast estate, as yet un-

and 81 tons of mercury. She was
forced to leave an additional 1l0

SOVIET WOMEN
tHr Assn. snfea PRESS,

BERLIN, July %. Increasing
German reports of Russian
women being captured on the
eastern front with Red army
troops have raised the question Of
when is woman soldier
(The Russians have reported
women serving as nurses and
auxiliaries with the Russian army
but not as fighters.)
In general. the Germans have
taken the attitude that women are
soldiers if they are organized, OPP
crate under some form Of discip-
line and wear uniforms with at
least some distinguishing articles
of clothing.
Then, If captured, she is treated
as a soldier and becomes a milf
tary prisoner.
If she is not attached to any
military formation but takes pot
shots at Germans, the chances are
that she will be treated as a
sniper. That means probably ex-
ecution if she is convicted by a
military court.

VAST EXPANSION OF
REORGANIZATION
PROGRAM PLANNED

WASHINGTON, July 22s
A vast expansion Of the Ameri-
cai1ization instruction program,
to facilitate the naturalization Of
an estimated 100000 aliens, was
announced by Howard o. Hun
ter, works projects administra-
tor.
$50 large a block Of non-citi-
zens who, in theory at least, owe
allegiance to foreign countries,
he said, sis a potential menace
in time of national emergency.
Those who do not understand
our language, our constitution
and our form of government are
most easily made dupes of for
eign propagandists"
Hunter said he believed that a
great majority of the aliens in
this country want to become
citizens, but have procrastinated
or failed to take the necessary
steps because they did not know
the procedure.
THE overwhelming evidence is
that they make good citizens once
they have become naturalized. Z
he said.
Hunter forecast that 1000, 600
would receive the Americaniza-
ton instruction annually. Class
es will be established in practic-
ally every community where
there are sizeable groups of nom
citizens. Between 1000 and TO-
900 instructors will be paid by the
WPA The program will be spon-
sored by the department Of JUS
tice, of which the immigration
and naturalization service is a
part, and co-sponsored by state
departments of education.
