CORNERS AND CANYONS
By Frank Edwards Henckel

NEW YORK-Ed Lawrence for
ten years has been driving his old
jaloppy from his stand at Seventy
second and Broadway to wherever
you want to go. How he keeps on
the job anywhere from eighteen to
twenty-four hours a day is one of
the unsolved mysteries of the me
tropolis. At any hour of the day
or the night you may find him wait
ing for you at his intersection or
rafting in from carrying a fare, and
ready for the next getaway; and
while he shuttles you off to Grand
Central station or down or up to
the Battery or the Bronx he will fill
your ears with adjectives and verbs.
Its like old times again" he
flung back over his shoulder to me
the other night on the way up to
the Nmeties. For years after the
big crash came and the millionaires
and bootlblackS lost all their money
in the stock market, you could shoot
a cannon up Broadway from Six
tieth street to the Harlem river any
night and not hit thing but a stray
cat or a penniless cabbie cruising
for fare Now you've got to keep
your foot on the brake all the time
for fear of knocking a pedestrian
all the way to the emergency ward
in Bellevue hospital. =. >. Hey
watch your step there, buddie! 5. !.

Its the war;" he said. Look at
that skyscraper over there. All lit
up inside like a Christmas tree.
Last year it was black inside and
out from nightfal1 till morning And
all down Broadway and on the mid
town cross streets and everywhere,
it's all the same-everything run
ming like steel mill full time; and
people coming and going at all
hours the clock around. =. And
this other gang you see, filling the
streets, all dressed up and doing the
boulevard promenade and hitting
night spots-they're the people who
were broke for a Mathuseleh's age
till wartime industry and all OF
that loosened up some payroll ma

to dig them a meter and one half
long and q meter and one half deep.
When we had done that another
half meter or so would be added"
I recalled the German fortress
near Ostrovsky, with It's upright
walls and flooring so smooth and its
covering overhead, and l wondered
how much blood and how many
tears had been shed by the Soviet
women and girls under the whips
Of German soldiers before these
grand German Notifications were
built.
Brutality Increases.
Retreating and driving the en-
slaved people before them, the Ger
mans become even more brutal than
in the days of the occupation,
making their victims usable par:
of their war machine. They not
only force them to dig trenches
but make them put up stakes for
wire distractions. clear paths in the
woods and also employ them as
living shields to clear mine fields.
They wear them out and leave them
to die or drive them further into
captivity.
Every one knows how cheap life
is once 1t is in the hands of the
Germans. We were, therefore, not
surprised to hear Rima exclaim
when she had finished talking, TT S
true the Red Army won't leave us
again, isn't it?" And then she add
ed seriously, Il shan't stay anyway.

6 New Radio Stations
Aid in Ferrying Of
Planes 10 Europe

Operation of a network OF six
long-wave radio communications
stations is now greatly helping in
the ferrying Of aircraft across the
Arctic and North Atlantic, the War
Department announced today.
Built by the Signal Corps under
hazardous conditions and function
ing under the Army Always Com
munications System, the six stations
link the United States with New
foundland, Labrador. Greenland,
Iceland and Great Britain.
officials said the network assures
24-hour radiotelegraph and radio
teletype communications uninter-
rupted by atmospheric disturbances
and magnetic storms capable of in
terfering with and "blacking out
short-wave communications. These
disturbances do not similarly affect
the long-wave system. so constant
radio communications is assured.
To complete the network for the
Army Air Forces before winter, the
Signal Corps was required to ac-
complish an unusually difficult con-
struction job with emergency speed

termination and heroism. But even
in the flames of war mans struggle

People Return to Homes.
This is a common sight on the
roads and highways. People are re-
turning to their homes from the rear
forests whittier they had fed to es-
cape persecution by the retreating
Germans or from concentration
camps to which they had been
driven.
One man who had seen a good
bit of the fighting said to me, The
longing to be back home is so great
that nothing on earth can still it,
These people suffer terrible hard

The most horrible hardship which
fell to the lot Of the people who
found themselves under emmy rule
was imprisonment or deportation
The retreating Germans drive every
single being, including children and
the aged, along with them. There Is
no necessity for this measure. and 1t
isn't something that springs into
being on the spur of the moment.
1t is carefully planned system en-
forced from above by the barbarians
in Berlin.
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goeb-
bells, In numerous writings, has de-
clared that he considered the main
principle of German strategy Is to
seize from the enemy as much living
space and as many people as pos
Sible This Is not only to deprive
the enemy the benefit of their labor
but to put them at our own service. !"
The day after the Germans were
driven out Of Ludinovo I happened
to come across a l7-year -old girl by
the name of Rima who escaped de-
portation by hiding in the forest and
was among the first to return to
town when it was liberated. We
piled many questions on her and
first of all how the Russian youth
lived under the Germans.
