His Squad Wiped Out,
.CorpI. Stimoski Fights
.0n 10 Kill Germans
Ex-PoIish Immigront
Hos Pledged His Life
To Avenee Lost Family
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff CorreSpoudent.

TUNISIAN FRONT (By MaiN.-
There was flicker of smile on the
cold, emotionless face of the little
Pittsburgh steel worker-Anthony
Stimoski, model soldier and infantry
corporal.
His commanding officer had just
told how he had been left alone in
the Sedjanine Valley battle. all the
rest of his squad killed or wounded
Stimoski had listened to the re-
countal without expression.
And then what did you do,
Tony?'
What I do? I kill some more
Germans
And why did you kill more Ger
mans?"
Then came the barest suggestion
Of sardonic smile
Il kill Germans. l hate Germans "
Family's Fate Unknown.
Such has been the dominating
motive in the life of the 9th Divi-
sion's foremost individual killer-a
1887 Polish immigrant whose home
address is 10 Plum street, Pitts
burgh. All Of his family except one
brother. he explained, are in Po-
happened to them. There is good
reason to believe they are dead.
The brother is in the Free Polish
Army in England. The two brothers
have vowed that between them they
will account for as many German
lives as possible.
Stimoski hastened to add he
doesn't like Italians or Japanese
either, but he couldn't kill them
with the same gusto he feels when
he gets chance to even scores by
| bagging few Germans. He has
accounted individually for at least
so of the enemy, company officers
believe, but the corporal, very
| conservative fellow, says he can
prove positively only seven. He
refuses to claim victim unless
he has determined personally that
the man is dead.
Operates on His Own.
So effective is Corpl Stimoski with
his vengeance drive that he is
allowed to operate alone and on
his own initiative. and he seems to
| bear charmed life. He is a dead
shot with the rifle, but his speciality
is the hand grenade. He spends
hours hurting stones at trees to
improve the aim of his throwing
arm because, he explains, with a
well-thrown grenade he can ac-
count for more of the enemy with
less trouble than with any other
weapon. Fighting with rifle is
too SLOW One shot accounts for
only one man.
Stimoski's tactics are deliberately
to expose himself to enemy fire to
learn the positions of machine guns,
snlTors and the like. Then, with
a grenade in each hand, he will
Wrlggle like a snake through grass,
bushes and rocks until he is in
good position to hurl the missile
He has developed individual weav-
ing and bobbing tactics which ap-
parently make him a very difficult
mark.
Once his grenades are hurled
Stimoski keeps on into the nest
itself to determine the results of his
work, for he is a conscientious ac-
countant of vengeance.

'Comintern Dissolution
Exp|odes Nazi Lie,
Stain Asserts
Action Is Declared Proof
Moscow Does Not Seek
To 'BoIshevize' Nations
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 29.-Premier Stain
of Russia declared today that the
dissolution of the Communist In
ternational exposed what he des-
cribed as the lie of the Hitlerites
| that Moscow was seeking to inter
vene in the life of other nation and
to 'BolsheviZe' them"
In letter to Harold King. Moscow
correspondent for the British news
agency, Reuters, Stain said:
Dear Mr.. King:
Il have received your request to
answer questions referring to the
dissolution of the Communist Inter-
national. I am sending you my
answer.
"Question-The British comment
on the decision to wind up the Com
intern has been very favorable
What is the Soviet view of this mat
ter and Of its bearing on future in
ternational relations?
"Answer-The dissolution of the
Communist Internationa is proper
and timely because it facilitates the
organization of common onslaught
OF all freedom loving nations against
the common enemy-Hitlerism.
Explains Reasons.
"Dissolution of the Communist
International is proper because:
"(A) 1t exposes the lie of the
Hitlerites to the effect that Mos
COW allegedly intends to intervene
in the life of other nations and to
'Bolshevize' them. An end is now
being put to this lie.
"(B) 1t exposes the calumnv of
adversaries of Communism within
the labor movement to the effect
that Communist Parties in various
countries are allegedly acting not in
the interest Of their people but on
orders from ouside An end is now
oeing put to this calumny, too.
tC) 1t facilitates the work OF
patriots in freedom loving countries
for uniting the progressive forces
OF their respective countries re-
gardless of party or religious faith
INTO single international camp for
the fight against world domination
oy Hltlerism. thus clearing the way
TO future organization of com
panionship of nations based upon
their equality.
L think that all these circum-
stances taken together will result in
further strengthening of the united
front of the Allies and other ma
tlons in their fight for victory over
Hitlerite tyranny.
L feel that the dissolution of the
Communist International is per-
fectly timely because it is exactly
now when the Fascist beast is ex-
erting its last strength, and that it
Is necessary to organize common
onslaught Of the freedom loving
countries to finish of this beast and
to deliver the peoples from Fascist
oppression.
A dispatch from Moscow said the
Russian people had not yet learned
of Stains Interpretation of the dis
solution of the Comintern. but there
seemed no question according to
veteran foreign observers that the
people agreed Fundamentally with
the ideas expressed in the statement.

know what happened to them.
Then We kept on advancing. 1t
was steep and rocky and slippery
We couldn't spot the Japs. We
could see just about 20 yards clearly
then it was all haze The sound
OF gunf1re was the only clue we had
to them.
Most of the men told similar
stories Of the strange feeling of
having an unseen. wraithlike enemy
