VETERANS Get
BIG ALLOTMENT
Benefit P aym ents For
Death And Disability To-
tai z Million In July

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. -(P)-
Death and disability from the pre-
sent war brought benefit payments
of more than $2,O00,0O0 from the
Veterans Administration in July,
Administrator Frank 7. Hines re-
ported today.
Disability pension payments ran
about $500, 1000, death pension pay
ments approximately $740,000 and
life insurance payments $615,000.
Payments are increasing but still
are somewhat behind mounting
casualty lists, Hines said, due to
the necessary lag between filing
of claims and beginning of pay
ment.
Hines reported that disability
payments averaged around $40
month, with each award based on
degree of disability up to $1OO
for total disability. Payments may
be as much as $3.50 month for
certain specific disabilities.
Death pension payments were
reported as averaging little
more than $48 a month, with an
increase expected soon because OF
new law raising payments to
widows and orphans for service
connected death.
Hines said insurance payments
to families of deceased veterans OF
World War II were averaging about
$3731 a month.
The Veterans Administration vo-
cational rehabilitation program was
just getting under way in July,
with 1900 applications filed and
number of men already in trani-
ing to earn livelihood despite
war connected handicaps. After
the last war $4,000 men complet-
ed such courses.
Hines reported that 13,SO0 veter-
ans of the present war already
had been treated in Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals, with 6,156
still hospitalized at the end OF
the month.

S0L0N ASSAILS
FOOD PROGRAM
Rep. Lands Says Admins
tration Needs Men Who
Know Business

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. -R-
Rep. Lands (R-Ind said in a
statement today that eff the boys
in the armed services and our civil
liam population are to be adequate
ly fed this winter" the American
people "must insist that men be
placed in charge of our food pro-
duction and distribution who know
something about problems"
Asserting that bureaucratic
laundering is paving the way for
a serious food shortage" Lands
added.
Crops are spelling in the fields
and in the warehouses because
some bureaucrat who learned about
agriculture by eating three square
meals a day has imposed some inn
possible regulation somewhere
down the line"
The statement was released
through the Republican Congress
sional Food Study Committee. Lam
dis is chairman of its subcomnit-'
tee on fruits and vegetables.
"The canning industry" the
Congressman said, "has lost 80
per cent of the 1943 vegetable pack
because of this bungling."
Lands said he had gathered re-
ports from many parts of the
| United States showing "tremen-
dous wastage" of foodstuffs.
The statement estimated that
thousands of carloads" of gov
ernment purchased potatoes have
been permitted to spoil, and gave
these as other examples of report
ed waste:
Sacramento, Calf. Thousands
of tons of pears will go unharvest-
ed due to a ceiling price below

fields producing squash and cab

his room. and on his map, under
q glistening array of three metal
plated ikons, he outlined the s1tua-
ton. Volokolamsk, he said, was
about to fall. When we returned
to Moscow later, we learned from
the communiques that, as ne
spoke, it had actually fallen.
The indications were that the
Germans were preparing sue
cessive lines of defense, based on
Gzhatsk, Wanna, and Smolensk.
AS the rival forces came back into
balance and winter began to have
it's full eject on the Russian coun-
ter offensive, the Moscow front
became stabilized. The Germans
lost part of their first line around
Mojhaisk, but succeeded in hold
ing Gzhatsk. That spearhead prov
ed too narrow to be thrust against
Moscow in the next years cam
paign. Farther north, the Rus
slams held a deep salient from the
Kalinin front through Toropetz.
That proved sharp thorn in the
German side throughout the next
year.
The Red army made one more
major winter move from the
northwest front against Staraya
Russa. 1t began with all the dash
ing success of the drives farther
south. The German sixteenth army
was surrounded in mid-February.
The move ended in failure. For
the German command adopted the
tactics it was to employ later at
Stalingrad of leaving encircled
forces in their advanced positions
and supplying them by air, and
hoping to use them to lead subse-
quent operations. The sixteenth
army suffered, but held its ground
and eventually was relieved.
The announcement of that en-
circlement, incidentally, was Ia
ter recognized to have been mis-
take.
AS the winter grew old and the
communicates less communica-
tive, the Russian people looked
forward eagerly to February 20:
the twenty fourth anniversary OF
the creation of the Red army, for
an announcement of great new
victories which they believed were
being forged on the front. They
heard on that day an order by
Stain, as commissar of defense,
warning that the enemy was still
strong. The conmunique OF that
day announced only the occupa.
ton of Dorogobuzh, an advance
southwest of Wanna which did not
succeed in cutting of that German
stronghold.

Mind Was Lesson-Sermon
For Christian Scientists

"Mind'' was the subject of the
lesson sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies on
Sunday, August %.
The Golden Text was from
Psalms 147:5. Great is our Lord,
and of great power: his under
standing is infinite
Among the citations which COM
prise the 'lessoa-sermon were the
following from the Bible: '"The
law of the Lord is perfect, con-
verting the soul: the testimony of
the Lord is sure, making Wise the
simple. The statutes of the Lord
are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. Keep back
thy servant from presumptuous
sins; let them not have dominion
over me: then shall l be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression" (Psalms 49,:
1919.
The lesso1-sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: IF mortals would keep
proper ward over mortal mind,
the brood of evils which infest it
would be cleared out. We, must
begin with this so-called mind and
empty it Of sin and sickness, or
sin and sickness will never cease.
When man is governed by God,
the ever-present Mind who under
stands all things, man knows that
with God all things are possible"

CHAPTER 10

The German objective was to
maintain positions as far advanc-
ed as would be practical, as jump
ing-off points for a spring often
sive against Moscow, which re-
manned their major goal. The
Russian aim was to drive the
Germans as far back as possible.
to leave greater depth for the
spring defense. The Red army
did not go as far as it would have
liked. No army ever does, until
it wins the final victory - and
sometimes not even then, as was
the Allied case in 1918. But
neither did the Germans hold as
far forward as they would have
liked. The practical result of the
campaign was that Moscow, hav-
ing been saved in 1941, was made
secure for 1912.
While Moscow was the main
stake, the game was played all
along the twelve hundred miles
of front from the Black to the
Baltic Sea.
1 had chance to see one phase
of the battle northwest OF Mos
COW. Equipped this time with
snow shovels and escorted by a
towing car to haul us out OF ditch
es, we drove north to Kiln late
in December and then went west
along the Klin-Volokolamsk road.
Out there, I could see, it was not
a broken German army that was
being pursued to the west. 1t was
still-powerful machine which
had stalled and was backing up
for a fresh start. I could see, too,
it was not a feeble Red army that
was tottering after a beaten foe.
It was still-growing force which
was just beginning to feel it's own
offensive power and was actively
precipitating the retreat OF its en-
emy.
Kiln, by night, was chamber
of horrors. When we arrived there
after dark December 19, the town
lay in absolute blackness,. the
blackness of homes that had been
burned and of others without light.
1t was infested with mines, the
kind that explode under the press
ure of one false step off the mar
row paths traced by Red army en-
gineers or at the slightest move
ment of door, window, chair, or
drawer. Enemy bands still lurkeo
in the neighborhood, isolated from
their main forces, but still hiding
in the forests, waiting for a chance
to escape back through the Red
army lines. There was an out
burst of firing on the outskirts o1
Kiln that night as we slept in
bare little cottage. A group o:
Germans had approached the
town, evidently in search of fooo
we were told the next morning
but two had been shot dead by
sentries, the others fleeing back
to their hiding-place.
The highway to the west was
an even more ghastly sight. Ihe
first village, Bakhlanova, still
smoldered in the charred ruins,
out of which rose only four of its
original collection of fifty houses
There the Germans had time to
apply their torches before retreat
ing. The next village, Petrovskoye
was intact. Hundreds of machines
were parked in the yards, roads
and fields, some overturned, twist
ed by fire or blasted by explo
sions, but all pointed west, a:
though they had been driven by
a strong wind. There the German!
had been overtaken. From tina
point the road wound like mar
