AMP Writer Sees Action
On Dnieper Battle Front
By CHATwooD HALL

MOSCOW (ANP)-l saw fierce
fighting Poles plunge into battle
action the other day after fordina
the Dnieper river at one point on
the viet-German war front. The
presence OF the courageous Poles
brings TO three the number of rep
resentatives OF enslaved European
countries fighting side by side wit'
the Red army against Hitler.
One OF the first Poles TO reach
the west bank Of the Dnieper is
a former member OF the interna-
tional brigade that fought with the
Republican Spanish army against
Franco. He is Ugllo Hubner. who
was recently liberated from a con-
centration camp in North Africa
by united nations authorities.
Czechoslovakia has her units here
and Free France has her Nor
mandie" aviation escadrille in Rus
sia. Now the fighting Poles have
entered the fray. On their battle
lag these Polish soldiers have in
scribed the name, "Thaddeus Kos
ciusko." which is an appropriate
name for their first division. The
choice could not have been better.
Patriot Freed Slaves
Thaddeus Kosciusko was a great
Pole. a real friend Of freedom. He
crossed the Atlantic to fight for
American independence during the
Revolutionary war. When this ideal
had been achieved. Kosciusko. who
had become slave owner. included
in his will of which Thomas JEFF
terson was executor. bequest that
his property be used 'in purchasing
Negroes and giving them liber-
ty in my name D.. in giving them
education and teaching them
TO be defenders of their liberty and
their country. :" These are the
words of he whom an American
Negro newspaper once called "a
noble Pole"
By taking the name "Thaddeus
Kosciusko," the fighting Polish di-
vision honors not only itself. but
| this real friend of human freedom
and liberty.
Beyond the Dnieper river hes the
Bug river and further on bleeding
Poland. The hope here is that the
Polish "Thaddeus Kosciusko" bril-
gade carries the militant banner
| bearing that illustrious name into
Warsaw, LODI, Cracow and every
where that Polish people are groan
ing under the slave regime of the
German fascists.

NEGROES help.
CROPS
ON U. 5. FARMS
Ministers, Teachers A id
In MObilizing Many
Extra Workers

WASHINGTON tANP) - Negro
in the south are play
ing an important role in the harvest
Of vital war crops. according to re-
ports received by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Aware OF the
farm labor shortage. thousands of
urban residents, some with farm
and some without it,
nave volunteered to help save food
and feed crops. =.
In some areas these volunteers
arrive just in the nick OF time to
prevent the rottening OF crops in
the fields. In Georgia, they helped
save a peanut crop; in Tennessee,
they rescued several acres Of to-
bacco; in Virginia and North Caro-
lima. they saved important food
crops and in Alabama and Missis-
sippi. they have helped assure ade-
quate supplies of high grade. long
staple cotton for the manufacture
of war goods.
Ministers. Teachers Help
Negro ministers and teachers
have been an important force in
town and city folks for
the harvest. In one area of North
Carolina as churches observed what
they called Harvesting Sunday"
During the week following the spe-
cal Sunday service, ministers led
their communicates into the fields
TO help relieve the acute labor
shortage.
Similar moves were carried out
in most of the southern states. One
Of the most outstanding jobs was
done in Nashville where all of the
churches joined hands to help re-
cruit tobacco workers.
Georgia approached the labor
problem both through the ministers
and teachers and also through paid
recruiters, In one county Is Negro
recruiters volunteered. Within a
short time they had recruited 700
workers for the peanut and cotton
harvest. In a single day their re-
cruits put up 1000 stacks of pea
nuts and picked $4,000 pounds, OF
nearly IS bales of cotton.
Carpenter Sets Record
One of the townsmen. John n
Morgan. q carpenter. laid aside hi
tools for q day and joined the vel
unteer harvesters. BY nightfall n,
had set record for the county b,
shaking and putting up 30 stacks Of
peanuts. The average worker put:
up between 10 and IS stacks a day
Morgan's SO stacks Melted him $40
an amount he seldom earns per day
with his saw and hammer.
Another Of the Georgia volun-
teers was Mrs. Mabel Bsrnum. a
business woman OF Americas. who
recruited 40 workers. While most
o, her recruits joined the peanut
harvesters. she took the others and
went to a cotton field In single
day she and her little group picked
nearly two bales of cotton.
Officials in the department of
agriculture declare that the work
OF these volunteer harvesters had
been an important factor in this
farm production. They point out
that increasingly urban residents
must volunteer for farm jobs dur
ing peak seasons il our war effort
is not 10 lag on this front

OF course. the real question

ferent war items now. but that
preparations are now under way
TO enable the company TO con-
vert TO peacetime products
within a very short time after

Blood puts some of the re-

MANY manufacturers already
