Through Soviet Mud
With Vital Supplies
Drivers Enthusiastic
Over Thousands of
Leose-Lend Vehicles
BY EDDY GILMORE,


MOSCOW, March 31.-United
States transport equipment is re-
ceiving its greatest test of the war
as the whole Soviet German front,
mass of mud and slush, challenges
mans machinery.
Last year some American trucks
and jeeps took part in the spring
fighting under severe conditions,
but American-made trucks in use
then were few compared to the
number here now.
Russian generals have said Amer
lean trucks bore the main burden
in the offensives southwest of Stall
ingrad, on the Don and in the drives
in the Ukraine. 1t is reasonable to
assume they still are playing the
same role.
Driver Voices Thanks.
I live not far from a road which
connects with the front, and day
after day I see long trains of trucks
with familiar American names going
to and returning from the front.
A group of 20 stopped near the
house and the drivers were await
ing arrival of commander for
further orders when I asked How
are your trucks behaving in this
mud?"
Very good" said one fellow
enthusiastically. They 60 every

I told the driver 1 was an Amer
ican neWspaperman.
Then you tell your people many
thanks for these trucks. Tell them
they may be foreigners, but they
quickly are making themselves at
home in our mud" he said.
thousands in Use.
The current strain on transporta-
ton is terrific. One of the things
needed most is spare parts for the
trucks, which are operated day and
night in conditions seldom matched
at home.
Two American automotive experts
arrived recently in Russia to assist
in solving the transport problem.
Currently, large portion of the
trucks and jeeps mentioned by Ed
ward R. Stettinius, ir.. in lease-lend
reports are in operation in the Soviet
Union. approximately $4,000 heavy
trucks are plying the fronts and
operating in the rear zones. There
are about 10000 leeps in use in
Russia.

Tobin Sees Danger
To Democratic Party
In Attacks on Labor
Adviser to President
Warns Critics May Lose
Control Of Country

B. the Associated Press.
The Democratic party was eau
toned by one of its best-known
labor supporters today that it is
risking political control by attacks
on organized labor.
Daniel j. Tobin, general presi-
dent of the AFL Brotherhood of
Teamsters and labor adviser to
President Roosevelt In his three
campaigns, wrote an article in the
unions organ entitled, The Demo-
cratic Party Forgets How Hungry
1. it Used to Be-" In it, he said:
Even if many of the Southern
Democrats who are crucifying labor
have no use for organized labor,
they should remember that their
power and influence is due to the
fact that their party is in control
sNd that they were placed in con-
troll by the labor vote of the Nation.
History has a habit of repea ting
itself and unless the Democrats in
power stick to their guns and stop
crucifying the trade union move
ment of the Nation in all its divi-
sions and branches they will find
themselves. as they did before, from
March, 1921, to March, 1888, a crawl
ing, impotent minority"
Mr. Tobin said many labor leaders
consider themselves "betrayed" by
the Democratic party and are think
ing of shifting their support. He
added the Democrats are making a
serious mistake" if they think the
farm vote controls elections.
THE industrial workers control
the elections" Mr. Tobin wrote, land
there are thousands of farm la
borers that follow the advice and
leadership, politically, of the men of
labor Labor, he said, would not
be united in support of the Demo-
cratic party If an election were held
