calling for a program to assure a

Missouri's 25,000 teachers are NOV

the convention, and "the panic
method of Fastening poorly pre-
pared, immature or incompetent
teachers into schools merely to fill
gaps will retard the effectiveness of
education for years to come"
He suggested the assignment of
competent teachers on basis of one
to every 40 pupils (the States ele-

higher salaries, and with State funds

Nazi Winter C|othinq
Appears in Russia;
Described as Poor
Uniforms Definitely Are
Not Warm, Prisoners
Tell Coptors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Nov. 21.-Some of the
German armys winter equipment
has appeared on the eastern front,
and though it is better than last
winters, when the Nazis were caught
completely unprepared, it still is in
sufficient to cope with the rigors OF
the Russian climate, front line re-
ports said today.
A dispatch to Red Star, army
newspaper, said some German troops
in the Leningrad sector had winter
uniforms, but even though the Bit
terest cold and heaviest snow have
not yet arrived, many divisions thus
far have received no winter outfits.
Inadequate Equipment.
Winter clothes which were issued
to one German division we're said
to consist of wicker wrappings for
the feet, with artificial rubber soles,
padded cotton jackets and cotton
caps. The padded caps were given
only to sentries, Red Star said, other
troops being provided only with
brown wooden cloths to wrap around
their heads.
In the 540th German special bat
talon, the dispatch said, only troops
on active scouting operations have
been supplied with winter outfits.
The German winter uniforms are
described as lined with white cloth
so they can be turned inside out for
camouflage in the snow.
Shivering German prisoners are
quoted as saying emphatically that
they are not warm in the Wehr-
macht's winter uniforms.
Started Self Collection.
Those Germans who have already
been through the first winter cam
paign in Russia, the prisoners said,
started self collection among the
people of the towns they occupied,
taking for themselves "valinki,
shuba and ushanka"-felt boots,
fur Lined coats and fur hats with
ear laps.
Meanwhile. the Soviet clothing
industry, which, like the rest Of the
country, is doing "everything for the
front" has.renewed the Red Army's
supply of winter uniforms.
There was one case of a Russian
family which sent fur mittens and
socks to son at the front and
received the package back with a
letter from the boy saying:
Don't bother to send me warm
things. I have everything I need"
