ations and varieties. The two
large variations are hot bortsch
and cold bortsch. Hot bortsch is
really a vegetable soup and is
quite easy to make. The best kind
cf meat to use for hot bortsch is

and one onion for an hour and
half. Shred and wash cabbage and
place into soup. Put in can OF
tomatoes, and lemon juice or citrlc

but the meat cooked this way is
delicious served with horseradish

MOSCOW, Oct. 5.-The United
States and British Ambassadors
today discussed informally the
Stain letter which called on
Russia's Allies to fulfill their OBJ
legations fully and on time, and
they are expected to seek an ex-
planation Of some Of its phrases.
The main issue appears to be
whether creation Of q second front
IN 1912, which Is generally held by
Russians to be an Allied obligation,
should be so considered by the gov
ernments involved.
The two Ambassadors, Admiral
William H. STANDBY and Sir Archi-
bald Clark-Kerr, met at luncheon at
Spasso House, the United States
Embassy.
In diplomatic quarters the letter
was considered to be an important
development bringing into the open
apparent differences in the views Of
the Allied capitals.
Premier Stain yesterday declared
that Allied aid to Soviet Russia had
80 far been little effective" in COM
parison with Russia's own aid to the
western Allies, and that Russia re-

Observers Point Out

Strength and PIons
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


Many official quarters in
Washington are surprised at Pre-
mier Joseph Stalin's statement
in which he reiterated his urgent
plea for a second front in
Europe.
Second front agitation from the
British and American public opin-
ion has died down, particularly since
the tragic adventure at Dieppe.
Military operations must be planned
by specialists-the army and navy
high command-and not by public
clamor. This is logical. Military
news regarding the actual strength
Of the army, the available weapons,
the enemy strength and the oppos-
ing lines Of fortifications are secret
information which the public natu-
rally ignores.
To attack and defeat the enemy
on one front or another is naturally
the principal desire Of every one OF
the peoples who are in the war and
their military leaders. But the for
mer know only such facts as the
authorities will permit to be pub
lished while the military chiefs know
everything about the strength Of
their own forces and as much As
the intelligence reports can give
them about the enemys strength.

Catoe Death Verdict
Upheld in Staying
OF Mrs. Abramowitz
Third Degree Charges
Are Held Unfounded;
Execution Date Nov. 20

| The United States Court of
Appeals today upheld the con-
viction of Jarvis r. Catoe, SO,
colored, under sentence Of death
for the murder criminal assault
Of Mrs. Rose Abramowitz in her
apartment at 1901 Sixteenth
street NV, on March 8, 1941.
Catoe,s execution is set for No
vember 20.
Catoe, who is also under indictment
on charges of four other murder
criminal assaults, was convicted In
the Abramowitz case In District
Court in October. 1941. He had been
captured here two months before on
lead from the New York police
who were investigating another sex
murder there.
Third Degree Denied.
Catoe's attorneys appealed the
case principally on the ground that
q written confession to the crime ad-
mitted to evidence at the trial was
not voluntary. The contention was
that he had been mistreated and
the confession forced from him by
threats of police.
The appellate tribunal. however.
pointed out that the District coroner
and District police officers were
unanimous in their testimony that
the defendant had sufficient sleep
during the 80 hours following his
arrest, that he never appeared ia
tigued and that they saw him eat
three or four times. The police also
testified that the questioning Of the
defendant was intermittant, that
1t was carried on in normal tones
and without tricks or force, and that
the defendant at no time showed
nervousness or fear. All denied any
use Of third degree methods" the
appellate court said.
The court also pointed out, in an
opinion written by Associate Justice
Fred M. Vinson, that Catoe had had
four visitors, including his brother,
the day after his capture. He ad-
mitted to them, the court said, that
the police had treated him nice"
In closing its opinion, the court
stated: The record indicates that
defendant has been subject to no
error which he does not allege and
those which he alleges are without
merit"

decision were Chief Justice D. Law

QUARTERS, Australia Oct. 5s-~
In the seventh day of consistent,
unopposed advance, Australian
troops pushed upward yesterday
over a rugged trail north Of Efogi
In New Guinea's Owen Stanley
Mountains.
Flyers Of the Allied air forces at
the same time swept far beyond the
advanced ground forces to harass
key points on the Japanese line of
retreat. In another sector Catalina
(Consolidated) bombers made q
night raid on the airdrome at
Buka, on the extreme northern tip
of the Solomons, starting fires near
the runway and in dispersal areas
and destroying at least one plane.
Efogi, "a miles by jungle trail
from the Allied base at Port Mores-
by and about Z miles from "the
gap" in the Owen Stanley range,
was captured Saturday.
Believed Near Entrance.
The Australians were believed to
be either In or near the south en-
trance of "the gap" which lies at
an altitude of more than 5000 feet.
A spokesman for Gen. Macarthur
said the Australian forward units
had made only slight contact with
the enemy, too light to indicate even
rear-guard action.
Their exact position was not
given. North of Efogi there are
two trails, one leading 3 miles to
Kagi and the other miles to the
Myola Lakes.
