Tense of Leningrad where for
more than a year German
siege forces have been held
off, and actually rolled back
from time to time in various
places, by a northern Red Ar
my.
AS at the start of the battle
of Stalingrad, the besiegers of
Leningrad spoke at first with
glib assurance of victory; as at
Stalingrad they actually fought
their way into the built-up me-
tropolitan area; as at Stalingrad
the battle continued under great
odds of terrain, with the defend
ers taking the counter-offensive
at the propitious moment.
The parallel, of course, is not
complete. The snow and cold

will not be such an ally. But as
against the Germans shorter
supply lines to the Leningrad
positions, the route to Stalingrad
on the Volga extends more than
600 miles deeper into Russia and
is exposed to Russian attacks.
The dramatically reiterative
word that Stalingrad still stands
fitted like the needed part of a
jig-saw puzzle into an Allied
strategy which appeared to be
aimed at exacting as much time
as possible for the preparation
of action against the Germans on
another front.
Each day gained, unless at the
cost of Russian collapse, added
to the assurance of success for
the eventual stroke at Germany
at the rear or aflank.
There was coinciding week
end statements by Wendell L.
Willkie and General Sir Archi-
bald p. Wavell, Britains top
drawer strategist who commands
British forces in India, which RI
veted new attention on the bat
tie of Stalingrad.
Russia, Wavell said, would
stick it out and British and
American troops will fight their
way onto the European CONT
nent as soon as possible.
Willkie, before leaving Mos
cow for Chungking, called in
fortnight fashion for creation of
the second front before next
summer when, he said, it might
be too late Allied military
leadership, he added, might
need some public prodding
and British labor leaders, taking
the cue, called for an immediate
answer to Willkic by the Chur-
chill government.

Not many years ago a frail lit
tie school-teacher in Spokane,
Wash, read of the fabulous Lost
Dutchman Mine hidden some
where in the Superstition Noun
tain of Arizona. As miles down
the Old Apache Trail from
Phoenix. Dreaming of the for
tune that might be hers, she
left her job, came to Arizona
and began an unsuccessful and
bitter quest for the gold that lies
hidden in the earth.
Recently, Ethel Capps, the ex-
school-teacher, found real gold
in the Superstition Mountain.
But she didn't dig it out of the
earth. She earned it working in
a movie.
Miss Capps worke' as an ex-

| The elderly village pdtrldTCH
died suddenly at his Main street
home Saturday morning, bring
ing to a close a long career of
public service in this quiet rural
village. Although active to the
last, his health had been failing
for some time, and his demise
was not entirely unexpected.
Born February IA, 1859, in
the Upper Peninsula, the eldest
of 10 children born to Edward
and Aldenia Wiemann, he came
to this village as boy and be-
gan a long record of public serv-
ice. He was president of the
village for seven years, justice
of the peace for 18 years, and
was an active members of the
agriculture board of the Armada
Fair. He also served as presi-
dent of the board.
At his death he was a life
member of the Armada Har-
mony Lodge No. 143, F. g. A. M.
Final rites will be held from
the home on Main street at 2
p. m. Tuesday, with the Rev.
John Adams, of the Methodist
Church, officiating. Burial will
be in Willow Grove Cemetery,
Armada, with arrangements in
charge of the Tiffany Funeral
establishment.
Weimann was a link with the
pioneer past and the industrial
present. Born in a log cabin at
Eagle Harbor, Upper Peninsula,
he came to a farm near Rich
mond with his parents, and then
to Armada, where he resided
for 81 years. In this age of mo-
torized transportation, he de-
lighted in telling, with many a
reminiscent chuckle, how he
walked IL miles daily from
Lenox to Armada to get his
schooling at the Armada High
School. He also worked as a
clerk in a general store both be-
fore and after school. He was
awarded his teachers certificate
at the age of 16, and was proud
of his membership state certifi-
cate awarded him August 81,
1880, for which he spent nine
and one-half days as state edu-
cation inspector in mathematics
and geography at Utica.
He moved from teaching to
job as salesman, and was con-
nected with the c. j. Kruse
Cracker House of Detroit for
80 years.
Not only did Wiemann fill
public office in his home viii
lage, but he was elected county
clerk in 1892 on the Democratic
ticket.

NEW YORK, April 2S - The

While a few rails and specialties
managed to post modest advances
at the start, further softness Of
American Telephone. which fell to
a new bottom since 1885. was an un-
settling influence elsewhere. De-
clines in the final hour ran to frac-
tions. although scattered blue chips
registered wider setbacks.
Dealings were sluggish except at
intervals when offerings were bit
more insistent. Transfers for the
full proceedings approximated 300.-
600 shares.
Principal brake on potential pur-
chases in the share division, brokers
said, was the desire for Qualification
of the Presidents new national
economy program and more definite
clues as to forthcoming tax legis-
lation. The Presidents broadcast

Reported by Sears Chief

NEW YORK, April 28.-Sears
Roebuck & Co. has lost about $780,
100000 In sales as a result OF the
wars inroads on merchandising.
Robert E. Wood, chairman Of the
board, told stockholders of the big
mail order concern at their annual
meeting yesterday.
Sales volume was hit, he said,
through the virtual elimination OF
six lines which formerly accounted
for a large part OF the total-re-
frigerators. tires, stoves, washing
machines, electrical appliances and
radios.
Some of the shrinkage, however.
Wood added, would be made up in
other lines and in expanded sales Of
such things as baby chicks, rugs and

Fancy Paint Barred
On Machine Tools
Py the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
The Government has ruled out
fancy paint jobs on machine tools.
Instead of red, yellow, black and
gold colors applied frequently to
metal-working machinery. only "old
machine tool gray" may be used, the
War Production Board ordered.
Only one coat Of primer may be
applied to new tools and not more
than two coats of paint, enamel or
lacquer may be used. No filler may
be applied.
Intent of the order is to reduce
the time required for delivery of
tools and to free the space now
used for finishing for more produc-
tive work, w. P. B. explained.
