Moscow.
NEW YORK, March 6.-The
United States, despite all Adolf Hit
Ter can do to stop it, is definitely de-
livering the goods to the Soviet
Union.
After riding in American tanks,
trucks and jeeps, seeing American
bombers and fighters, eating Ameri-
can sugar and lard. in remote corners
Of Russia, one cannot doubt that a
large part of the supplies we PROM
ised the Red Army is reaching its
destination.
I cannot cite figures. The only
ones made known in Moscow are
those announced from Washington
or London. But I can tell you the
impression of one who has been in
Russia throughout the war.
It Is that the answer to the ques-
tions-are American goods reaching
the Soviet Union? Are the Russians
satisfied with our supplies?-is, in
each case, yes.
Hitler, early In the war, boasted
that the United Nations only sup
ply lines to the Soviet Union were
across the Arctic or along the Equa-
tor. Since then, he has certainly
been surprised by the way those very
lines have been made effective.
Jeeps are Common Sight.
Our most conspicuous contribu-
ton to the Soviet war effort is in
vehicles. Oh the main streets of
Moscow, on the roads of provincial
towns, on the dirt tracks Of the
countryside, American trucks are a
common sight. Jeeps scuttle every
where, from the paved highways of
the rear to the rough fields Of the
front.
A year ago, they were rare sights,
which caused on-lookers to stop and
admire them. Now, they are no
longer a novelty.
The trucks are used for road
transport, on which the Red Army
depends largely for its supplies. The
jeeps are used as staff cars, to carry
officers on their missions. Both have
been employed extensively in the
Russian winter offensive.
It would be idle to deny that there
has been any trouble with the We
hicles. Some trucks have broken
axles on trackless terrain, boiled
over in summer. frozen up in winter;
some jeep motors have become clog
ged with mud. But generally, men
who drive the machines have told
me. their performance have been
splendid.
Good Mechanics.
The Russians. moreover. what
ever their reputation may be abroad,
are good, resourceful mechanics.
Machines come in for rough treat
ment in that rigorous climate. But
with a minimum Of tools and spare
parts, the drivers keep them running.
For example, Pavel Ivanovich Di-
akov, an average Russian chauf-
feur who drives a light American
sedan for the Associated Press, had
to park his car out of doors in
Kuibyshev all last winter. in 40-be-
low-zero temperatures, and several
feet OF snow. But each morning, when
the kilograms were ready to 60, so
was the car.
American tanks are less notice.
able to the Russian people, since
they are assembled deep in the rear
and sent directly to the front. I
have visited an assembly point,
however, and seen hundreds of
medium and light tanks, ready to
60 into action.
The first Ms models. with
riveted frame and fixed cannon,
proved less effective than the welded
types and mobile turret, but since
then, more modern machines have
been delivered.

committee drew up demands for a
$2-a-day wage increase for the 10000
anthracite mine workers today after
hearing John L. Lewis declare that
industry and finance are afraid of"
their unions strength.
They feel that If they can crush
the United Mine Workers of America
they won't have any particular
trouble with any other union; and I
don't think they will" the graying

the close Of the anthracite wage con-
vention. which later adopted with
out modification scale committees S
$2-increase resolution.
80 Don't be carried away and
let yourself be Intellectually misled
by fulminations in the press and on
the radio that in asking for bread
you are doing your country an in
jury, because you are not" Mr.. Lewis
asserted.

The delegates had just adopted a
resolution saying that "the public
press has been engaged in a CAM
paign Of villification against the
UNIV and its courageous president"
and naming the Philadelphia Record,
the Philadelphia Inquirer and the
New York newspaper PM as leaders

Mr.. Lewis himself had said that
newspapers, the radio and politi-
clans would turn next and
strike you down" If the UNIV per-
mitted men to come among you and
destroy your confidence in your
leaders"
The delegates. many representing
units which had fouted Mr.. Lewis
leadership last January by staging
an unauthorized strike, made the
closing convention session an en-
thusiastic rally in his support.

but when they 60 out of this hall,

Mr.. Lamb cited opposition to
Lewis expressed during the Janu-
ary strike because of q dues increase
voted at the UMW's international
convention last October. Some in
surgents claimed the increase, from
81 to $3.50 q month, was dictated"
by the former CIO leader.
MIR. Lewis told the strikers that
only UNIV itself could increase or
reduce dues and the strike ended
without dues change. Another
strike issue was the demand for the
50 increase over the present basic
wage of $500 per day. MIR. Lewis
said then he would try for a
