Russians Denounce
Lack of End Front
On Europe's Soil
Official Newspaper of
Communist Party Decries
Inaction of Britain, U. S.

MOSCOW, Aug. 6-OUP)
"A blunt statement that the
Allies have failed Russia by
not opening a second front
despite pledges by London
and Washington was printed today
in Pravda, the Official Communist
Party Organ.
The article said Great Britain and
the United States had Solemnly
promised the second front to Sow
let Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
in June. 1912, and that the pledges
we're followed by statements of
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill that action would be
taken to relieve the Russians
No attempt was made in the arti-
Gle to disguise Soviet disappoint-
ment and irritation.
EXPRESSES SUSPICION
The article clearly expressed
growing Soviet suspicious that rea-
sons other than technical military
problems were responsible for Allied
delay. 1t was implied that these
might include political considera-
tionS.

efforts in Italy and Sicily or the
Importance of aerial operations

demand for action that would re-

German and 20 Vassal divisions on
the eastern front.
1t long has been a Soviet thesis
that the war could have been ended
in 1912 and certainly could be
terminated this year by prompt and
coordinated Anglo-Soviet- american
action. Barring such action, the
Russians place the blame for what

COMMERCE, Tex, Aug. 6.-(UP)
Speaker Sam Rayburn, D., Tex,
today coined new wartime word
GrLmlins which he defined as a
minority party for critics and
grumblers, "saboteurs of the spirit"
on the home front who are blood
brothers of the air corps Grem-
lins.

Mayo college, the predecessor of
East Texas State Teachers college
from which he received an honorary
degree, Rayburn upheld the right of
civilians to criticize the NOISY.
squabble ridden" home front, but
denounced the habit of grumbling.
He further defined Grumlin as:
"A fellow who drinks his morn
ing orange juice, eats his cereal and
his two eggs and toast while he
looks at pictures in the newspapers
propped before him--a picture of a
smiling American boy who has had
his arm blasted off in a gun turret
of Flying Fortress over the jrMgles
of New Guinea-and, as he sips his
coffee, this grumlin feels sorry for
himself and fuses at his wife be-
cause she has used up all the red
stamps and can't serve him any
bacon!"
ONE IN HUNDRED
Fortunately, Rayburn continued.
there is probably not more than one
grumlin in 100 Americans.
1--WE imagine there are MORE" he
added, because the main features
of a grumlin are big mouth and
a loud voice one grumlin can
make more noise than 80 Americans
who are busy using their strength
on the job of winning the war"
Despite the grumlins, he said, the

American forces of the 7th army

were meeting strong opposition
around the mountain town of
Troina but Canadians were reported
threatening Adrano after pushing
five or six miles eastward as the
Allies advanced steadily from the
Centuripe -Regalbuto sector
The Germans still held Troina
(Which had previously been report

furiously to block the Americans at
that point, some SO miles from

STRIKE AT ROAD
The Americans near Troina and
the Canadians approaching Adrano
were striving to break the road west
of Mount Etna by which the enemy
might escape from the Catania
front. The only other road, run
ming up the coast east of the peak,
had been Shelled and bombed at
points where it is only narrow
ledge in the mountains and was re-

The Americans occupied the town

COP Counting on
Home Front Votes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-tUP)-
The Republican party counted today
on heavy home front vote in the
1914 election to offset the advant-
ages it claims the New Deal has for
attracting support of men and wo-
men in the armed services.
The strategy was outlined by Re-

army forces surged forward in a
Pincers maneuver against Bryansk,
most powerful stronghold on the
lower central front against which
the Soviet Conquerors of Orel were
moving in hot pursuit of the Tat
tered German Units.
The Red army's first summer Of
fensive was picking up momentum
fast, it's pace and power beginning
to rival the winter campaign which
smashed the Germans westward
from the Volga at Stalingrad to the
near approaches of the Dnieper.
Needing Premier Marshal Josef
Stalin's order to give the battered
enemy no rest, the Russians famed
swiftly out from Orel and Belgorod
in drives threatening to undermine
the whole German defense position
in the east.
LAYS FLANK OPEN
The fall of Belgorod, 40 miles
north of Kharkov. laid open the
German flank north of the war
torn city keying the whole eastern
Ukraine. Leaping to the oppor-
tunity, Soviet striking forces passed
by Kharkov and swung around in
what shaped up as determined
and confident effort to cut the
railroad lines radiating from the
major communications hub.
The forces on the march were
those of the "Voronezh" and newly
created "Steppe" fronts, which evi-
IDENTIFY emerged from the processes
of evolution and reorganization
which fitted the Red army to strike
its first paralyzing blows in the
summer.
Russian motorized Units were
streaming westward from the Orel
area to reinforce the armies which
launched the synchronized drives
against Bryansk from the north,
east, and southeast.
The concentric drives against Orel
had carried the Russian columns
northwest of that city down into
the German flank to within less
than 30 miles of Bryansk. which is
rs miles northwest of Orel.
The Red army also was reported
shifting troops down from the
Smolensk front west of Moscow to
join in the assault on Bryansk. Thus
the Soviet policy apparently was to
roll up the German lines in the
south on a front reaching from the
sea of Azov northward beyond the
Bryansk area.

Well, 1 am stationed in a Prisoner
of Wan Camp in Ogden, Utah. Our
prisoners are Italians captured in
Tunsia. The majority of them
were captured by the Americans.
Some by the British and few by
the French Believe it or not am
now acting as Mess sergeant but
the catch is that the Italians do
their own cooking. My job is to
see that the kitchen is in Al con-
dition at all times. Our company's
kitchen is the best in the camp.
(This is unofficial as that is my
own opinion). The Army gave OUR
camp some discarded camouflage
paint to be used in painting the
inside of the mess halls, offices and
barracks. I got busy and got three
OF our company's painters and we
painters did good job with the
kitchen. The ceiling of the mess
hall was done in combination Of
light green, earth yellow and sand
colors. The walls were done in
light green with murals of Venice
and of the leaning towers of Carl
senda and Asinella, Bologna, Italy.
The murals were painted with oil
colors donated by the American Red
Gross to the prisoners.
The kitchen force is very proud
of their kitchen and they work
hard to have it sparkling every day.
especially on Saturday when it is
inspected by the Colonel. The cooks
rejoice when the Colonel tells them
the mess hall is very good.
Can I talk wop? Well, I am al
most an interpreter, that is will
be if the prisoners stay here another
couple years. Anyway I can make
myself understood.
This summer the P/W's started
truck gardens around the camp un-
der the supervision of American
officers and enlisted men. Potatoes,
tomatoes, beans, lettuce, onions,
and a lot of other vegetables and
fruits were grown in these gardens.
The prisoners also contributed in
the picking of Utah's fruit. They
picked apricots, peaches and cher
ries. I could go on and name many
other things the P/W's do but I
think it is enough for now.
My wife, formerly Miss Maxine
Gunsaluss of Nogales, is residing
with me in Ogden. She is doing
her bit for the war effort, working
in an Army depot near Ogden.
Well, I think TIL close for now
