Political Races
For Army Men
Move to Head Off
Macarthur Boom Seen:
Congress Stirred
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

The War Department has decreed
that no member of the military
forces on active duty will hereafter
become a candidate for or seek or
accept election to any public office
not held by him when he entered
upon active duty"
This order, issued by Gen. George
c. Marshall, Chief of Staff, by order
of Secretary of War Stimson, created
a stir on Capitol Hill today.
The immediate question in con-
gressional minds was, rs this de-
signed to head off the nomination
for President of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur"
Gen. Macarthur is not a candi-
date for the presidential nominal
ton. Reports from the South
Pacific are to the effect that Gen.
Macarthur is intent solely upon per-
forming his military duties. His
personal desire. it is said, is to be
let alone to carry on these duties.
Name Suggested Many Times.
Nevertheless, the name of Gen.
Macarthur has been suggested many
times and in various quarters as a
presidential possibility, ever since
he leaped into the limeHght by his
direction of the defense of Bataan,
Army officials said the order was
issued to keep the Army out of
politics. The Army has reached
huge proportions. Of the millions
of men commissioned, enlisted or
inducted, many might be put for
ward for State or county office, for
membership in Congress or Federal
office. The War Department order
apparently halts effectively any such
activity.
Rule in Regular Army.
At the War Department it was
said, too, there had always been a
rule in the Regular Army that a
man who ran for Office or was elect
ed to Office must get out of active
service. The new order is designed,
1t was said, to make the same rule
apply to the whole United States
Army as of today.
The late Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood.
however, was not receptive candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1916, but he was an active
candidate in 1920. He was an Army
officer at the time.
Several House members who had
gone into the armed forces during
the World War were reelected in
1918 while on active service. Among
them were Senator Connally of
Texas and the late Royal johnson
of South Dakota. Mr.. johnson ten
dered his resignation when this
country entered the war. 1t was
rejected and he absented himself
from the House. enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Army and served also
as sergeant, second lieutenant and
first lieutenant. He was wounded
during the Meuse-Argonne attack.
He was honorably discharged De-
cember 20, 1918, and returned to
Congress.
When it was pointed out that dur
ing war it is difficult for a man to
retire or resign from the Army, the

Nazis Fighting Hard
To Hold Bridgehead
In North Caucasus
Soviets She'll Large
Defense Positions
With Big Guns
BY EDDY GILMORE,

| Associated Press War CORRESPONDENT.
MOSCOW, April 6.-The Red
Army's growing offensive in the
Kuban Delta continued today
with new successes against the
Germans who are fighting back
stubbornly in an attempt to hold
their bridgehead along the Black
Sea coast in the North Caucasus.
The midday communique said the
Russians shelled large German de-
fense positions with big Soviet guns,
destroying more than so enemy fir
ing points.
An earlier dispatch said the Red
Army had fought its way Into
strip OF territory strongly fortified
by the enemy" another reference
to the major objective.
The Germans now hold no more
than $500 miles in the Kuban and
daily they are losing more. The So
Wet map of the entire front pub
lished last week showed the Russian
line beginning at Novorossisk.
Nazis Have Troubles in South.
This and current dispatches show
it possible for the Red Army already
to be giving the Nazis at the Black
Sea port added worries.
/ (The German high command
communique, broadcast by the
Berlin radio and recorded by the
| Associated Press, claimed the
Russians had discounted attacks
on the Kuban bridgehead "in
consequence of losses suffered on
the day before"
c'Fighting activity of local
Importance only" it said, was
reported from the remaining
front sectors"
On connection with the re-
ported Kuban operations, the
Berlin radio broadcast Trans
ocean dispatch asserting that
German positions in this area
were strongly consolidated.
This Kuban country itself offers
many natural obstacles to speedy
progress, including salty marshes
and swamps.
The Kuban River is wide and at
this time of year overflof1ws Its
banks, flooding or washing away
many roads.
Sharp Attacks Continued.
The best highway is the one which
runs from Krasnodar out to the
| kerch Strait.
The area which includes the
Kuban Delta also is known as the
Taman Peninsula. The town closest
to the strait itself is the Cossack
village of Taman. town of 1000 in
an area which was the scene of an
cient fighting.
South of Izyum, the Germans
kept up their sharp attacks on So
Wet positions along the Donets
River. Their tanks were aided by
dive bombers but achieved no ma
terial success. The Russians met
every charge with a counterattack,
continuing the mauling they have
given the large force of Germans
