Legion Opens
FrontAgaiinst
Child Neglect

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 17-(P)
The American Legion is open
ing a new front campaign
against child neglect in time OF
war.
It's Child Welfare Commission
is ready to tell the organiza-
tons national convention, open
ing Saturday, that the mistake
of forgetting the child in the
last war must not be repeated.
The commission's repor
shows a distressing picture of
physical and mental d 4 e C I S
among youths called to the col
ors, particularly those who were
between the ages of 7 and IL
in the first World War.
The Selective Service records,
l.. A. Williams of Seattle, chair
man of the commission, said,
show that of the first 100000
men called to arms more than
100000 were rejected. He add
ed that the rate of reflections for
men between the ages of 81 and
36 was nearly twice as great
as those between FL and Is.
What was happening to
these older men in 1912" he
asked. They were neglected
then as boys because of the ex-
igencies of war, and they are
the rejected men today!
I'VE have a tremendous re-
sponsibility in this war not to
permit the children of this same
age group to point their fingers
at us later and charge us with
neglect The Legion must be on
the alert to locate the sore
spots"
Wi | Jams, asserting a fit
childhood was the first requisite
of strong national defense, re-
ported that the Legion so far in
1912 had spent $2,739,44O for
emergency relief for needy chill
dren.
In another report, the Amer
icanism Commission is urging
the Legion's 1925 900 members
to be vigilant against n m y
aliens and sabotage.
Nov more than ever BEFORE"
said James F. ONeil of Man
chester, VT, chairman of the
commission, 1--WE must follow
every move of all the subvers-
i've organizations active at any
time since the World War"
He said that $4,000 Legion
naires in key industrial centers
are working with the FBI
against subversive elements, and
that the commission itself had
taken on the task of investigat-
ing $4,000 Selectees who have
failed to respond to the call of
their draft boards.

Reds HurI Reserves Into Battle
Continued From First Page. J

Before the revolution the city was
known as Tsaritsyn and later was
renamed in honor of the Soviet pre-
mier.
The hard-put Russians were bol-
stored further by the arrival in Mos
COW of Maj. Gen, Follett Bradley
of the United States Army Air
Forces, to facilitate American aid
to the Red Army.
Cossacks Inflict Heavy Losses.
Russian troops fighting a delay
ing action below Belaya Glina made
new withdrawal yesterday while in
the Kushchevka area Cossacks were
reported inflicting particularly
heavy losses on NsN air-borne tanks
and parachutists who descended be-
hind Russian lines in groups of 100
and $50.
The midday Soviet communique
said today that during last night
Red forces in the Belaya Glina sec
tor made a fighting withdrawal to
new positions and that in the Kush-
chevka area Soviet anti-tank gun
ners and tank busters" destroyed
8 Nazi tanks and Is other vehicles.
Night riding Cossacks charged
into a recently-lost Caucasus vii
lage, slaughtered more than 800
Germans and disappeared swiftly
into the darkness, the communique
reported.
Soviet defenders continued to hold
firmly to their positions on the klet-
skaya front where the official an
nouncement related one Russian
unit picked off 300 Germans.
Another $50 Nazis were reported
slain by Soviet tank units in a dash
against the enemy's rear.
Fighting has erupted on the long
dormant Bryansk front, 2l0 miles
southwest of Moscow, and the So
Wet announcement said Red Army
forces recaptured a village there,
killing 100 Germans in street fight
ing.
Fighting blazed without letup
throughout the night on the Stain
grad and other major fronts in the
south, the communique said.
Elsewhere in the North Caucasus
the Russians said inconclusive fight
ing continued In the Don elbow
the Germans broke through Russian
defenses in one sector, but 'front.'
line dispatches said the enemy units
were quickly encircled and EXTERN
mated.
The German advance to Kotelni-
kovski presented new threat to the
railroad spanning the isthmus from
Stalinerad to Novorossisk, Soviet
naval base on the Black Sea. This
line already has been severed in the
Belaya Glina sector.
From Kotelnikovski the Germans
might strike toward Astrakhan, 240
miles to the southeast on the Cas-
plan Sea at the mouth OF the Volga.
A thrust across the comparatively
fat country to that oil port would
isolate the Caucasus by land from
the rest of Russia.

mended in a resolution adopted In
Chicago by representatives Of State
Chambers of Commerce from 80
States The recommendation will
be presented to the Senate Com
mittee August II.
Senator George said he saw two
possible obstacles to passage OF a
sales tax-the parliamentary diff
culties and the problem of policing
and enforcement He said he had
been informed there was short
age of certain types of accounting
machines, and a definite lack Of
trained personnel to supervise col
lection of the tax.
But the principal difficulty is the
parliamentary one" he said. THE
House didn't choose to put the sales
tax in its bill, and even if the Senate
voted to do so, there still would be
a very difficult situation in the con-
ference committee"
Not Expressing Own Views.
Senator George said he was not
expressing his views on the merits
or dement's of sales levy.
To get any material increase in
revenue above the s6,271 100000 in
additional taxes voted by the House.
Senator George suggested, We'll
have to go to some other source of
revenue-not necessarily the sales
tax"
He said that heavy increases in
specific excise taxes, as recommend
ed by Treasury officials, might help
but wouldn't come close to bringing
in the $4,000 100000 more desired
Senator George said he did not
believe either the corporate or in
dividual income tax rates could be
increased greatly over the House bill
without arranging a postwar credit
for taxpayers.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The use Of
iron wire" by electric utilities in
place OF the copper than has become
vital to war, was reported today

One form was described as actual

"It carries electric energy only
about tenth as readily as cop

is needed for ammunition these

Went to Europe in 1899.
The $25 900 credit was placed to
his account, Mr.. Fish said, just a
couple of days before he sailed for
Europe in 1899 on a trip to attend
the Inter- Parliamentary Union and
during which he visited Germany.
Il tried to have the credit re-
turned to Gen. Trujillo at the time" "
he said. But it was not, and the
credit and the money remained to
my account until I returned from
Europe. Then I merely signed the
checks and sent them to the oil
company in question"
Mr.. Fish added that in 1887 he
had made an attack on Gen. Trujillo
on the floor of the House after re-
ports had been published that sew
eral thousand Haitians had been
massacred by Gen. Trujillo's SOL
diers. He denounced this outrage,
he said, and eventually the Domin-
lean government paid several hun
dred thousand dollars to Haiti in
reparations.

ported expose as "a matter of in

DR.. Troncoso did not represent
his government in this country at
the time of the transaction. and
knows nothing of it. He refused to
say whether Gen. Trujillo had been
acquainted with the present de-
velopment. -rs-
Mr.. Fish has been under attack
from many quarters in his effort to
be reelected, not only on the ground
that he had been a strong isola-
zionist and an opponent Of the ma
tional defense program of President
Roosevelt and the Presidents for
eign policies, but also that he had
had relations with George Sylvester
Viereck, a German agent in this
country, now in prison.
Primary Is Next Tuesday.
In New York, Mr.. Fish's candi-
dacy for denomination by the COP
has been attacked by both Wendell
L. Willkie, Republican standard
bearer in 1910, and Thomas E
Dewey, the prospective Republican
nominee for Governor. He must
face the voters in the Republican
primary in his district next Tues
day. The indications, according to
reports from New York, have been
that Mr.. Fish would be renomi-
mated.
Two Republicans are opposing Mr..
Fish in the primary. They are Au-
gustus Bennett, a New York lawyer,
and Emerson Fite, Vassar College
professor. In the Democratic pri-
mary is Ferdinand Hoyt, who ran
against Mr.. Fish before and was
defeated
There was much discussion several
weeks ago about coalition ticket
to defeat Mr.. Fish, should he be
nominated in the primary, when the
general election takes place in Mo-
vember. 1t was reliably reported
at the time that Mr.. Bennett would
be put in the field as an "independ-
ent" candidate, with the backing OF
the anti-Fish Republicans and OF
