RUSSIA VAST TERRITORY

Russia could lose the Ukraine,
Leningrad and Moscow in the first
rush of Germany's legions and still
retain military punch. in the opinion
Of informed sources in Washington.
AS the Nazis push deeper and
deeper into Russia, there is evidence
that Soviet planners were prepared
for loss of large slices OF frontier
territory. The strategic location Of
interior bases OF supply and manu-
facture indicate such military fore
thought.
Whatever else may happen, Rus
STA must keep her giant army effee-
tive. It's her army that's important,
more important than territory -
even such vital territory as the Len
ingrad- Moscow-Ukraine heart OF the
country" Washington observers in
sist.
Dispatches indicate there is fight
ing on three major fronts, with the
zone OF greatest activity distinguish
ed by the Nazi push into the Minsk
area and from there along the road
to Moscow. There are sub-major
drives aimed at Leningrad and at
the Ukraine.
Assume, for the sake of argument,
that all are successful. Grant that
the Germans from Rumania oYerrun
the Ukraine, that the Minsk forces
break through to Moscow, and that
the drives from Finland reach Len
ingrad and Murmansk.
How could Russia survive such
catastrophe?
First, her armies must retire in
good order, still capable of effective
resistance.
The next natural line of defense
is along the Volga river from the
Caspian sea to the Ural mountains
and along the Urals themselves. So
let's say the Russians fall back
there with an army punished but
still capable of a eounterblow.
Behind such a force, in the
sprawling breadth OF AsiaHc Russia,
is everything an army needs. Res
STA is more than so per cent agri-
cultural, and those great regions
raise stores of food. 1t might mean
belt-tightening behind the Volga,
but the Russians are resistant to
hardship.

quered, they would Immediately be-

 The muscles of the person being tested are connected with Dr. Ja- cobson,s apparatus by tiny platinum electrodes which pick up the in- flnitesimal currents made by the muscles when they are slightly tens. ed. Persons who imagine them- selves to be relaxed are amazed when these electrodes pick up muscle currents which are a sure sign that there Is still some tension in the muscles.
 These residual muscular ten- sions, as Dr. Jacobson has termed them, are the natural enemies of complete relaxation. Most persons can relax many of their muscles easily enough, but some tenseness remains in others which offset many of the good results derived from the muscles which are re- faxed.
 The tensed forehead, tight muscles behind the ears, a tapping toe, these are the little muscle groups that remain tense, cause people to keep tense in general. Poor sleep, high blood pressure. excessive fatigue, and many of the vague ailments of civilized men are sometimes the result of tenseness lingering in small muscles after the big muscles have relaxed.
