You have to remember that Cdynia
itself already was in German hands
and that on this chilly September day
the remnants of the Polish Army of
the North reinforced by the men of
Gdynia who had not already been
called up) were making last stand on
the heights against an overwhelming
force of the German army. Their posi-
ton was hopeless. Their backs we're
against the sea. They had no artillery,
no tanks. no planes. But all day long
they fought on, with rifles and ma
chine guns. And down in the town

which was the coolest Europe had
seen for a century must have killed
off great many of them. Died Of ex-
posure" would be the technical term
for those who did not starve to death.
For what most of them lacked was
shelter after the Nazis drove them
from their homes. In that blizzardy
winter of l939-4O in Poland you had
to have a roof over your head and
fire in the stove once in a while to
keep alive.
But they were very brave while
they lived. They were very brave. the
Polish women of Gdynia, on the day l
saw them - September 10, 1889, it
was while the battle ragged on the
ridge two miles north of the town.
1t is difficult to describe. 1t was
peculiar battle. 1t was one Of the few
you really saw in this war. In way,
that was the ugly part about it. Not
for us, but for the women of Cdynia.
They saw it too. saw their own men,
folk fighting it, their hard Slavic faces
frozen in bitter fascination as they
watched. You have to grasp the geog-
raphy of Gdynia and environs. You
have to see the ridge just north Of the
port which runs for seven miles inland
from the sea, and which can be seen
from any place in the streets of the
town.

watched them.
The women did not cheer as, say.
American college women do at foot
ball game. Neither did they whine or
weep. All day long they stood in the
streets as if their feet had been glued
to the pavement, their heads up
stretched, their eyes concentrated on
the heights. They would disdain to
look at you when you passed them.
They were bitter, but they were also
proud. As they gazed at the smoke the
German bombs and shells made, did
they hope for the sight of the white
flag that would mean that some at
least of their men would survive, liv-

Revenge vvas Only Hope

PROBABLY in the brief period of the
war, which had come so suddenly
three weeks before, they had become
too numbed by what had happened to
hope for anything beyond the sight of
dead Germans. For the killing that
they saw going on up on the ridge, the
slaughtering of their men, was only
part of what was happening.
A few days before, the Germans had
swept into Gdynia and had evicted
these women from their homes, the
modern. American-like homes which
had been built in Gdynia - almost
the only ones like them in the whole
impoverished country. They had been
ordered to leave the furniture just as
it was, including the radio and bed
sheets and silver, so that the new Ger
man masters who were being brought
into the town should not be incon-
venienced.
From their belongings of a lifetime
they could take % pounds - in one
small suitcase. And down at the freight
yards, these women knew, the Ger
mans were assembling the boxcars
that, as soon as the railroad had been
repaired, would take them to the
wasteland of Eastern Poland.
Frost was in the air, and it would be
a cold ride, they knew. and without
their men. and where would the food
come from, and the shelter? And with
winter almost on them. passed them
for the last time that afternoon. They
stood in the streets, still, their faces
uplifted, proud. defiant, bitter.
I'll wager they were that way to the
end, full of a noble dignity until the
last hunger that Hitler forced on them
came, and the killing cold.

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
Warren r. Cochrane, executive

story that he misrepresented con-

belt to lure over a hundred At
lanta youths to work there.
The Star-News, through It's
labor editor, J. Robert Smith,
presented a feature story in the
August edition, stating that boys
from Atlanta and other parts OF
the South had been brought to
within a stones throw Of New
York City" to 9 community more
wretched than that portrayed by
Erskine Caldwell in his noted
