uated from the Naval Academy in
1928 and attended a postgraduate
course there in 1895. For three years

nary heroism IN the line of his pro-
fession. as commanding of1icer of a
Un1ted States warship during an
engagement with enemy Japanese
naval forces"
Admiral William L. Calhoun. the

counter in citing Comdr. Seaward.
Although his ship had been
placed In very hazardous position
between his own forces and those of
the enemy" the citation read.
"Comdr. Seaward courageously and
successfully engaged the Japanese

Despite the fact that his ship
was rocked by explosion and her

dent so far as the United States is
concerned. The distinctive Ira cur
rency will be used in the payment
of troops of all the Allied nations
on Italian soil, and in payment by
the procurement services for local
supplies"
Government officials said the un-
dertaking is designed to give the oc-
cupied areas currency in denomi-
nations and terms which they know.
Previously the United States forces
in North Africa had used a reg
ular ckhome" currency with a
distinctive seal, while the British
had used military pound"
The rate of exchange on the new
currency was not explained in the
joint War and Treasury Depart
ments statement issued here today.
But from Allied headquarters in
North Africa an Associated Press
dispatch said that an official procla-
nation there explained that the new
Allied currency would be accepted as
legal tender, with the rate of ex-
change set at 100 lire for 81 and 400
lire for one English pound.
The new currency already circu-
lating in Sicily is in eight denom-
nations from l to 1000 lira. The
smaller denominations are half the
size Of United States currency here
but the larger denominations are
the same size as paper money here
This new currency, to be used by
any of the Allied forces, is being
printed only in the United States
by agreement with Great Britain.
The new Allied military postage
stamps are in denominations of Is,
Is, 80, SO and so centesimi and in
l, 2, and 10 lira. They are all of
the same design, distinguished by
colors of the usual United States
postage series.

Russian Communists
Give Their Backing 10
Free Germany Group
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Aug. 2-Russia's Com
munist party gave its backing to the
Free Germany National Committee
by an article in Pravda yesterday
which upheld the international i'm
portance of this organization of
anti-Fascist refugees and prisoners.
The article gave the first Soviet
comment on the committee, which
was created at a Moscow conference
on July 13 and which published a
manifesto July 81 urging the Ger
man people and army to revolt. de-
mand immediate peace and estab-
lish democracy.
Pravda. organ of the Central
Committee of the Communist party
and the most important newspaper
in the Soviet Union, said "the Ma
tional Committee will contribute to
the unity of the anti -Hitlerite forces
inside Germany and increase the
number of Hitler's enemies"
Stain Group Cited.
The newspaper recalled the COM
mittee's declaration that no foreign
foe mad ever plunged Germany into
such an abyss as had Adolf Hitler
and that its aim was to overthrow
Hitler and establish postwar free
democratic Germany"
I'VE think the Free Germany
Committee will play an even more
useful role in overthrowing the
Hitlerite regime and withdrawing
Germany from the war to peace
than was played with regard to Italy
by the Committee of Free Italians
founded III London long ago and
which consists of representatives OF
various political opinions from mon
archists to republicans, including
socialists and communists, and which
assumed similar function and pro-
gram of overthrowing Fascism and
retiring Italy from the war;" Pravda
said.
The article was given the most
prominent Place in Pravda, occupy
ing two columns at the top OF the
first page.
Kursk Defeat Credited.
The newspaper said the majo,
impulse for creation of the commit
tee was the defeat of the Germans
In the battle of Kursk in July. One
delegate to the Moscow nti-Fascist
conference was quoted as saying thi.
defeat was even more dangerous TO,
Nazl Germany than the loss O,

and soldiers who created the Free
Germany organization would them.
selves have considered the forma
ton OF such committee impossible
even one year ago."
But decisive stimulus had beer
provided, 1t said, by the conquest ol
Africa, raids on Germany by Allied
air forces, the growing isolation ot
Germany, and German defeats ir
the Caucasus and on the Don, a.
well as at Kursk.

Lewis May Withdraw
Application 10 AFL
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Possible withdrawal of the United
Mine Workers application for re-
admittance to the American FEEDER
alton of Labor is seen by friends of
UNIV President John L. Lewis If
action on the application is delayed
100 long.
Mr.. Lewis, associates reported, is
unwilling to dismember District so
Of the UNIV in advance of rejoining
the Federation, and on this issue
the question of the miners reaffili-
alton is expected to be fought.
The UNIV chieftain, it is under
stood, does not expect favorable ac-
ton in advance of the AFL conven-
ton in October, but unless he is as
sured of approval at that time his
friends say he may withdraw the
application.
District so is the UMW's miscella-
neous unit, composed of gas, coke
and chemical workers, and a scat
tering of railway employees, dairy
farmers, construction workers and
others. AS such. they infringe the
jurisdiction of certain AFL unions.
Mr.. Lewis has held one meeting
with the AFL committee appointed
to consider his return to the FEEDER
alton, headed by Dan Tobin, presi-
dent of the Teamsters Union.
Mr.. Tobin's committee will report
to the AFL executive council in Chi
cago next week.

Nitrogen for Growth

All parts Of nature need nitro
gen for growth. Fundamentally
life is a reciprocal robbery of nj
trogen." Plants are the ultimate
source Of nitrogen for animals.
Some animals live exclusively on
plants. But man. eats the flesh Of
those animals and obtains nitro
gen in that way. OF course. he
also obtains it from plants, since
he is omnivorous.
How do plants get their nitro
gen? Plants living in. soil in
which there Is no nitrogen starve
to death. Plants remove enormous
quantities of nitrogen from the
soil. Wheat in a field, according to
Kahn, Of two and half acres
removes about 400 pounds of nj
trogen from the soil every year.
Nitrogen in the air is to some
extent washed back into the soil
by rain.
There is a nitrogen equilibrium
in nature, although just how it
operated was not exactly under
stood until the last few decades.
Farmers have always known that
