Gen. Mihail Pavlovitch Spirin, a
specialist on parachute warfare. He
says the Nazis, despite the fact
their paratroop interventions were
badly smashed in the first offehsives
In Russia, concentrated their efforts
all winter to perfect a new "out of
the blue" striking force. But the
general also says, I'VE are ready
for them"
German paratroops are playing a
new and greater offensive role and
1t happens that American made
jeeps, this wars jack-of f-all-trades
scout cars, are proving most valu-
able to the Soviet anti-paratroop
or destroyer battalions. Together
with British Bren carriers and Rus
sian light trucks, the destroyer
units dash wherever the parachute
menace threatens.
Jeeps May Be Big Asset.
On the vast Don steppes where
highways are few and very far be-
tween, jeeps are able to cut across
country with squads of Russian
destroyer" who are tough. bold,
young Tovarisches, trained to wipe
out paratroops at all costs. The
battle of the Don steppes is just
gaining momentum, but the Ger
mans likely are to be tempted
to scatter parachutists far in ad-
vance in various parts of big area
some 200 miles square inside the
Don elbow. If so, jeeps may be-
come considerable asset in the
defense of that large salient of the
Don's huge eastward-pointed elbow.
In any case, Gen. Spirin's outline
shows the new tactics the NaziS are
employing with paratroops. He says
they are now dropping parachutists
from giant gliders, each of which
carry 100 men, instead of only 20
transported in similar devices year
ago.
The Germans likewise have larger,
faster transports than the Junkers
52's which previously were used.
With Focke-Wolff zoos they carry
at least five more soldiers per plane

2i2 year old boy. found chained
in the attic of his mountain home,
was reported in a critical condi-
ton today at the Tucker County
Hospital here suffering from malnu-
triton and sores about his body.

his home Saturday night by State
Police and Department OF Public
Assistance officials.
Police Corpl. G. w. Busch said
the child. weighing only IS pounds,
was found with large rope about
his neck and shoulders and chained
to a baniSter.
Corpl. Busch said the parents,
both about "a years old, had been
arrested on a warrant charging
cruelty and lodged in the Parsons
Jail. The couple will be arraigned
before justice of the peace here
today or Tuesday, he added.
There was no indication how long
the child had been a prisoner or
why it was being punished.
A physician at the hospital re-
ported yesterday that the baby
"acted just like little scared
animal"
The physician, who declined to
be quoted by name, said the child
was taking a little nourishment
and appeared to be little brighter"
but he expressed belief that the
baby would not survive.
Two other children in the Lougary
family, an older girl and boy
about l year old, are perfectly
normal and do not appear to have
been mistreated, the physician as
serted.

demonstrate various phases Of Army
training and drill for the women,
has been increased to 491.
President Roosevelt set the in
itial goal of the WAAC Army at
Is 900 women, but from the de-
mands that are being made by the
United States Army for their serv-
ices, it is a foregone conclusion that
this number eventually will be ex-
panded to the full complement OF
10000 authorized for enrolment
under the provisions of the Rogers
Act which created the WAAC.
The Army wants the services Of
these women and, above all, Gen.
George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff,
wants them to fill in at the hundred
and one jobs they can do, 50 more
and more men can be rushed to the
fighting fronts. Up to recent date,
corps area commanders had filed
requests for more than 10000 of
them. Even at the rate of 800 grad
uates week, which is the goal set
for November, the supply will be no
more than drop in the bucket.
Program Held Overdue.
Capt. Gordon c. Jones, Director
of Training, echoed the rueful COM
ments of other post officers who con-
tend that the training program is
sadly overdue.
1--WE should have started two years
ago. There is no reason on earth
why we shouldn't have had thou
sands of women already trained"
he said. Nov here we are beseiged
on all sides for workers we can't
possibly supply until they have COM
pleted their basic training.
TN every Army headquarters
there is stringent need of Office
help-of stenographers, teletypists,
printers, decoders. dispatchers-
scores of jobs which women ad-
mittedly handle better than men.
Available manpower has reached
the point where commanders can no
longer ask for specialist and be
sure of getting one. We're scraping
the bottom of the bucket. We've
got to have reinforcements and the
WAAC is the answer"
OF the 300 women who are being
enrolled today, 440 are officer candi-
dates, including many from the
District of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia. Forty of the number are
colored. Sixty-five officer candi-
dates were chosen from the thou
sands of volunteer women serving
in the Army aircraft warning sys-
tenn. In that field alone there are
unlimited possibilities Of service for
the Women's Army, subject as they
are to military discipline and orders
The remaining 800 women report
ing today are auxiliaries, as the
privates are known.
For all these women, who put
behind them the ways of civilian
life for a year when they passed
through the gate, Army life actually
begins Thursday Today they shed
their civilian clothes Except for
days of absence) and don the trim
natty uniform of the WAAC.

Voteless League
ToldDelegateBill
Can Be Passed
Author of Paddock
Measure Addresses
First Fall Dinner

Prediction that the Paddock bill
for voteless delegate for the Dis
trict in the House certainly can be
passed if the people of the District
show members of Congress that
they support the measure was ex-
pressed last night by the author of
the proposed legislation before the
Voteless District League of Women
Voters.
Representative Paddock of Illinois
told the league that he had en-
eountered no serious opposition
among members of Congress to the
measure.
The Paddock proposal was the
subject of the leagues opening din
ner meeting of the season at the
YWCA. Merlo Pussy, vice chairman
of the District Delegate Committee,
also spoke, describing the commit
tees function of co-ordinating the
efforts of civic organizations toward
the passage of the bill.
Future Benefits Seen.
Representative Paddock commended
that the presence in Congress of a
well-informed and aggressive dele
gate would be extremely effective in
obtaining further enlargement of
District self government.
Pointing out that the bill could
be repealed by Congress at any
time, he said that its passage would
afford safe and easy test of the
Districts ability to elect we'll
qualified officials.
The board Of the Voteless League
of Women Voters has Endorsed the
principle of the BILL" but withheld
support of the measure in its pres
ent form and reaffirmed it's stand
in favor of national representation
and District suffrage
Districts Importance Grows.
Representative Pa dock also
pointed out that the municipal
affairs of Washington have been
given tremendous consequence by
the war and said that a District
delegate would have the power to
intervene beneficially in countless
situations where important legisla-
ton regarding Washington has been
delayed.
Mrs. Eugene Callaghan. president
of the league, presided at the meet
ing, turning the program over to
Mrs. Eugene Duffield, new suffrage
chairman. Two new chairmen an
nounced at the meeting were Mrs
Edgar Goodrich, head of the depart
nent of social welfare, and Mrs.
Wendell Lund, chairman of the
arrangements committee.
