Triton, Ga, May 2e.-Dr. George
H. King Is tall, unruf1led college
president. His Office here, at the
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural Col
lege. is typical: Big desk, bookcases,
quiet.
But he looked up to see a quite
harassed professor walk in J. N
Leckie, dressed very unlike a pro-
fessor, in khaki and wearing a pith
helmet.
King, We'll never get the pota-
toes in. There's no labor. The
plants are drying out"
Mr.. King smiled and said, how
many do you need?"
Eight at least. It's the f1ve-acre
patch"
We'll, take the girls gym class.
It's in session"
There was no CONSERVATION. Eight
girls stepped forward Immediately,
in white shirts and abbreviated navy
shorts. Ten more wanted to help.
The chosen crew piled into station
wagon. And in minutes they were
in the field. The potatoes were in
by dusk and the potato seedlings
were saved.
Enrolment Down to IS.
The war has caused probably a
stranger metamorphosis here at
Abraham Baldwin than at any other
college in the land. Its normal $50
enrolment has dropped to IS. That
number of students would never pay
the freight to keep college going:
but Abraham Baldwin has turned
into big-time food processing plant
that's as thorough as any operation
Mr.. Heinz or Mr.. Campbell ever
dreamed up.
The youngsters take about four
hours classroom work a day. They
give another five hours to turning
out food. They handle it in every
stage, from seed packet to the dinner
table. This has been going on
year for the colleges own dining
hall. Now, the college will contribute
also to the dining halls of five other
Georgia colleges.

harvest. They can dehydrate or
freeze the foods. They cook and
serve them. Last fall they put up
$1,000 cans of food. There's 5000
cans still on hand, although the new
crop is coming in. They have enough
frozen green beans to last another
year-and no need for ration
coupons.
They live in bewildering plenty
When I saw their freezing plant, it
held the carcasses of seven steers.
18 hogs. 400 pounds of hens, and
500 pounds of broilers. All for IS
students and faculty. They go to
the stores only for few items:
Coffee. sugar, salt, pepper, rice,
lamb and fish. The last two items
are to give the menu variety. They
get little tired of beef!

German Radio Hints
Reds Are Forcinu
Retreat in Kubdn
Moscow Again Gives
No Details on Fighting
Near Novorossisk
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sunday, May 30
The German radio announced
early today that Soviet batter
ing ram had forced the German
Kuban troops to adopt a par
ticularly elastic warfare" - the
term used during last winters
retreat in Russia.
Russian power in the Northwestern
Caucasus had produced definite re-
suits in the Red Army's effort to
crush the narrow German bridge
head extending from Novorosiisk on
the Black Sea across the Taman
Peninsula to Temryuk-but Moscow
still remained silent on the progress
Of the fighting.
A midnight Moscow communioue
recorded by the Soviet monitor
merely said fighting continued"
northeast Of Novorossisk in the
Kuban River district-the same
phrase used for three consecutive
days.
Moscow Remains Silent.
"A Berlin broadcast recorded by the
Associated Press quoted German
war reporter as saying: I'm view of
continuous Soviet attacks it proved
necessary to adopt particularly
elastic warfare in the Kuban River
area.
In their lengthy and detailed re-
ports Of the Caucasian front the
Germans have claimed since last
Thursday that a large scale Red
Army offensive was underway, and
that the Russians were employing
10000 men and hundreds OF tanks,
planes and artillery guns in an at
tempt to crash through to the Kerch
Strait opposite the Crimea.
Beyond announcing intensive
aerial fighting in the area, Moscow
has kept silent, a frequent practice
during the initiation of important
campaigns. Red Star, Russian Army
newspaper. said yesterday that 1877
German planes had been shot down
IN three days, but declared that it
was the Germans who were attack
Ing In local battles" In the Kuban
swamplands.
The aerial warfare however ex-
tended all along the Russian front,
Moscow declaring early today in
one broadcast that long-range
Soviet bombers had made a mass
raid Friday night on Vitebsk, i'm
portant railway junction Is miles
northwest of Smolensk, German
anchor on the central front.
Red Airmen Wreck Trains,
Without loss to themselves the
Russian airmen wrecked several
trains at Vitebsk on the railway to
Riga, Latvia. the broadcast said.
Reinforced by American-built
planes, the Russian aerial offensive
has increased in parallel power with
the Raj and American offensive
in the Western European and Med
1terranean areas. Observers saw in
this Allied coordination a grand
strategy aimed at dispensing and
annlhilating German air power
prior to two-front land operations
on huge scale.
On all sectors of the front during
Friday the Russians said their air
men destroyed or damaged at least
Is German tanks, so trucks with
troops and supplies, blew up four
ammunition dumps. wrecked sew
eral railway trains and partly dis
persed and annihilated a battalion
Of infantry.
In the Gulf of Riga Soviet airmen
also sank 5.000-ton German trans
port, the midnight bulletin said.
More than 600 Germans were re-
ported killed in scattered ground
operations on the Smolensk, Lisi-
chansk and Volkhov fronts, and
IS enemy planes downed by Soviet
9unners.

Speaking from her home at Hyde

I'VE think it worth sacrificing our

to prevent slavery and to preserve
the hope of world democracy upon
the earth. How illogical we will be
If we do not watch our own attitude
and wipe out of our own hearts
whatever causes the lack of unity
among our own citizens"
Here at home there are specific
things we can do" Mrs. Roosevelt
added.
1--WE can make up our minds that
we will work with any other human
being who does his daily work be-
side us and that we will not inquire
as to his race or religion, only as
to whether he Is doing an honest
job.
I'VE can decide that in public
conveyances where each one Of us
pays for a seat we will not look ask
ance at our neighbor no matter
what his race or religion.
This same rule holds good in
places of public entertainment
which are open to all citizens and
where we have all paid our money
