Mason, editor of Camping magazine is the author.
 National defense demands that every educational agency contribute in its own way to the preservation and further development of our democratic way of life" says John w. Studebaker, U. s. commissioner of education, in the foreword. This booklet tells how the summer camp can become a veritable training school to this end. Boys and girls need to be given the opportunity to see democracy at work if they are to judge its true worth"
 Twelve Tests of Democracy
 pr. Mason cites these 12 tests of democracy in a summer camp:
 1. Do the camp director and staff members show sincere interest in and respect for every individual, regardless of his contribution to the camp?
 9. Does mutual confidence exist among all members of the camp directors counselors, campers, and employed help?
 3. Is the right of self-expresSion exercised-the right of counselorS and campers to criticize construc- lively camp procedures and to offer suggestions for improvement?
 4, Do campers respect each other as equals, regardless of race, religion, and economic and social status?
 5. Is responsibility delegated to counSelors and campers to the ex- tent of their capacities?
 6. Are rules and restraints kept to a minimum? Do campers com- pletely trust those in authority?
 z. Do all who are expected to live under them participate in formulat- ing rules?
 8. Do campers participate in planning programs and in making decisions?
 g. Are campers activities moti- vated by individual and group in- terest rather than by coercionp
 TO- Do campers exercise their initiative?
 II. Are there free group discus AonS and frequent meetings of counselors and campers?
 12 DO those in authority speak in terms of i've" and "our" rather than T" and mine?

Placing of soldiers and sailors on an equal wage basis win defense workers was advocated today by the National Parents of Selectees, Inc. The organization announced adoption of a resolution calling for mobilization of all manpower in the defense program, with the armed forces in the military division and factory workers in the defense divi- sion.
 The organization which. has no known local units as yet proposes that members of the armed forces get a minimum cash salary of $40 of month, and that they receive the difference between that and wages paid factory workers in defense bonds.
 The text of the resolution follows:
 RESOLUTION
 The National Parents of Selectees, Inc, in regular meeting convened this 10th day of July, 1941, does hereby adopt the following resolu- tion:
 WHEREAS our sons have been called into the armed forces of the United States which thereby gives to us as parents the greatest pos- sible interest in the defense of the United States, the creation of a high morale in the armed forces of the United States and a direct and overpowering interest in the best training, the best of equipment and the most just and equal treatment of our sons; and
 WHEREAS these sons of ours have been called away from their homes, families, way of life and have been called upon to sacrifice their jobs, their plans, their in- comes and accept reduced stand- ard of living and the privations of camp life, all for the defense of this country and every citizen therein; and
 WHEREAS 1t is our considered opinion that the men in the armed forces of the United States are not receiving comparable, just and fair treatment with those who have re- mained at home and are to be de- tended through the sacrifices of our sons; and
 WHEREAS modern war is total war, and the men who build the armaments are important to the de- fense of the country, but the men who are to use the armaments and risk their lives, are just as import ant in the defense of this Country;
 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RE- SOLVED, we ask for the establish ment of the proposition that there shall be one overall defense pro- gram divided into two subdivisions the Industrial Defense Worker (mechanicS), Military Defense Workers (soldiers and sailors) and
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED that these two groups shall be paid equal compensation, with the Mili- tary Defense Workers receiving additional consideration for the sac- rifices that they are making which the Industrial Defense Worker is not called upon to make; and
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Military Defense Worker shall be paid minimum of $40.00 per month with the balance of his compensation up to the amount paid the Industrial Defense Worker credited to him in Defense Bonds. and such additional amount shall be paid to the Military Defense Worker at the rate of $l0000 per month beginning with the date of his discharge from active service and continuing at said rate until his full amount of defense bond credits have been paid in full; and
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Military Defense Worker (soldier and sailor) shall be given the full advantages of compensation

RULINGS RECORDED ON COMPENSATION
New Haven Man Wins Claims Two Others Are
 Denied Awards

Three rulings in disputed compen- sation cases were entered today by Compensation Commissioner Joseph E. Talbot.
 Carmine Venditto, New Haven, in his claim against Pasquale Amato, West Haven, was awarded $15.00 per week beginning May 10th, payments to be made during disability. The claimant charged that he suffered d injuries to his back while employed by the West Haven man.
 The claim of Joseph Schieffer, Middlebury, against the Raymond Baking Company of this city was dismissed. Schieffer alleged that he suffered hernia of the right side as the result of lifting a box of bread weighing between fifty and fifty-five pounds, on March 2 last. Comsr. Talbot, in denying compen- sation to the claimant, noted that Schieffer had been operated on for ruptured appendix, at a time sub- sequent to the injury and he could find no disability resulting from lift ing the box.
 John Barella, Torrington, was also denied compensation, when Comsr. Talbot declared that he could find no evidence of accidental injury, and that the claimant had contin- ued to perform his usual occupation at all times since the occurrence. Barella asserted that he had sus- tained a right hernia on April 30, 194l, while turning wheel on the block apparatus of press.

hand are inclined to credit the Ger man assertion that Russia has stalk ed all her reserve power in a win or-lose effort.
 The British attitude Is not so much, can Russia beat Germany as how long can Russia hold oVt? The longer the Russian campaign takes, the longer 1t will be before the Ger mans can regroup their forces and organize them for a blow elsewhere.
 The Germans, 1t is believed in London, are aiming for a knockout blow, hoping to shatter the Russian armies so badly that even If the remnants retreat and continue re- sisting, 1t will be only weak resist ance. German communication lines are not yet so far extended that the full strength of the Luftwaffe and air force cannot be thrown against the Russians.
 German Strategy
 German strategy seems to be con- centrated in the north and central sectors, leaving the Ukraine for later plucking, although at the same time not relaxing the pressure against Kiev.
 Leningrad, a powerful Russian mi- litary base and industrial center, is the object of a two-fold drive. To the south of it, the Germans are striking northeastward from the Pskov and Lake Peipus region to get control of the railroads and high ways linking Leningrad with the rest of Russia. A simultaneous drive in the north from Finland through the Karelian Isthmus would be in- dicated.
 In the central sector fronting Moscow, a similar drive from two d. rections is in progress. The Ger mans have penetrated to Smolensk on the south of the sector and to Polotsk on the north. They may have reached Vitebsk, between the two points. Between Vitebsk and Smolensk lies the Dvina-Dnieper River gap, regarded as the weakest part of the Russian defense line on the direct route to Moscow. Loss of that triangle also mean the loss of the valuable north and south railroad line from Leningrad through Vitebsk to Smolensk and thence to Kiev and Odessa.
