(Fitth OF q Series.)
BY HENRY c. CASSIDY,

Chief OF Associated Press Bureau in
Moscow.
NEW YORK. March 5.-Life for
the people of the Soviet Union in
this war is a battle. as hard as the
one the Red Army is putting up on
the front.
It involves work and hardships
sometimes suffering and danger.
1t is as important as the fight at
the front and as far as can be seen,
1t is another battle that is being
Won
As a Moscow housekeeper myself
for the 20 months of war I can
tell you something about it:
The big problems are heat light
and food.
This has been a comparatively
mild winter there, but the tenn
perature has been down to 10 de-
grees below zero, Fahrenheit, cold
enough to freeze to death, and there
has been no coal for civilians. The
output from mines not wrecked or
occupied goes to war industries
Last autumn, the Moscow Soviet
decided that only part of the apart
ment houses could be heated and
persons living in others should move
in with their neighbors. Moving
was actually started, when the sit
uation was saved by as heroic an
undertaking as any of this war, al
though little publicized.
$4,000 Women Cut Wood.
About 10000 women were mobil-
tied, those not in war work and who
had no children years old or
younger. They went into the forests
around Moscow, chopped and hauled
wood and provided enough fuel to
give the entire capital limited, but
SUFFICIENT heat
My three-room house on Ulitsa
Shchukina has been out of wood
twice. But. by shutting off two
rooms, living entirely in the bed
room, and luckily receiving new
delivery of birch every time the
cold started to set in, 1 was able
to keep comfortable
The heating situation has been
most acute in Leningrad, where a
gap has been broken in the German
ring around the city, but the enemy
still camps in the southern and
western suburbs. There, I heard,
not a single wooden house is left
standing-all have been torn down
for fuel.
Electric lighting is severely ra-
toned. Only single bulb is per-
mitted for each room, limited to
IS watts for an average living room
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-03-05

including the five-day. 35-hour work
week and paid vacations, have been
abandoned for the duration.
Those who left Moscow with evac-
uated factories, stores and commits
sariats are staying in the east, on
their Jobs. Passes to return to the
capital are rare Those who re-
manned in Moscow are working at
their old posts, or new ones, almost
all devoted to nationa. defense.
Small plants which once made con-
sumers goods are now turning
out arms.
The additional work has brought
increased compensation. The aver
age pay of Russian worker, before
the war, was estimated at about 300
rubles (offlcially $500 month This
has been swelled by pay for over
time work and lost vacations. But
there is not much to buy.
Still there is some brightness in
Moscow life. The theaters are
showing regularly the best of their
repertoire, the ballets Swan Lake"

Junior College Will Make
TlUO-Game Road Trip;
Mermen Idle.
INSTRUCT p LEADERS.

Memorial high schools bas-
ketball team will engage the
Biwabik high quintet here on
Friday night for the only ath-
letic encounter scheduled for
home fans this week.
The junior college will make
a two-game road trip, and the
mermen have an open date.
The jaysees will play at Hibbing
tonight and Friday at Coleraine
where it will engage Itasca junior
college.
Idle since it downed Tower in two
overtime periods, 21-19, before the
holidays, the red and white machine
is geared for its initial win of the New
Year at the expense Of Biwabik.
At the same time the boys will have
in mind the 1896 extra-period defeat
dished out to themselves at Biwabik a
year ago that must be avenged.
Memorial highs tie with Virginia in
district competition will be at stake.
The Bluedevils toppled Biwabik, 1928,
last week to eliminate the latter from
the undefeated ranks.
A preliminary contest between the
sophomores and freshmen is set for
tbs o'clock, with the main attraction
scheduled for an hour later.
The college came through with its
initial victory last week, and it will
need this encouragement for the COM
ing trek to tue western ranges. Hib-
bling won, 1929, over the local jaysees
here in the opening contest Of the
conference schedule, and the following
week Itasca took the measure of Ely by
the narrowest of margins, 1887.
Next home game for the college is
Jan % with Duluth.
The boys swimming team has a
nine-day wait ahead of it before it
again sees action. The next meet Is

athers Being Called
Despite Current Ban,
McNutt Reveals
Monpower Chief Says
Droft Bourds Will Be
Brought Back in Line
Bv MIRIAM GUTENBERG,

Some draft boards now are
taking fathers, who still are
supposed to be deferred under
the present selective service ban
on drafting men with children,
War Manpower Chief McNutt
disclosed at his press conference
today.
Mr.. McNutt reported that some
boards are going out of their way
to draft fathers in on-essential ac-
tivities, The men being drafted do
not hold jobs listed as non-defer-
rable in the draft.
Between the list of essential ac-
tivities and the list of non-defer-
rable activities is wide range of
more or less essential activities
which are not vital enough for a
man to be given an occupa tional de-
ferment. However, they are not so
unnecessary that a man shall be
drafted because he holds that job.
The non-deferrable list which in
cludes about 20 jobs. has been re-
ferred to as a guide to draft boards
rather than specific instructions.
The draft boards, Mr.. McNutt made
clear, can continue to defer fathers
in ondeferrable jobs, but they can
not draft fathers who are not on
the non-deferrable list, although
their jobs may be non-essential.
Mr.. McNutt said that steps had
