Moscow Celebrates
Victories With No
Sign Of Letdown
BY EDDY GILMORE,

MOSCOW, Sept. 27.-For folks
With liking for westerns, Moscow
today Is like front-row seat at
one of the best.
Almost nightly rockets rise into
the air, guns boom all over the city.
strange lights flicker up and down
the highways and the villain is
getting chased all over the place.
l haven't experienced anything
like 1t since those Saturday after
moons of my boyhood when I sat
spellbound in the Academy of Music
in Selma, Ala, and watched cow
boys, Indians and Jack Dalton of the
United States Marines.
Here in Moscow, of course, the
hero is the Red Army and the
villain is Hitler and his bad men
who are getting chased back behind
the hills.
Home Boys Winning.
The same high spirits that propel
every western lover to his place
before the screen prevail here.
The home boys are winning.
The fireworks that greet the Red
Army'S mounting victories are real
pyrotechnics, super Roman candles
and arching flares that finger the
night skies, and with the guns first
boom Muscovites come rolling out of
doors to see the fun.
1t is as colorful as a riot in a
paint factory.
Old men and women, the middle
aged, the young and very young
turn their Russian faces into the
night with each burst that signifies
new victories.
AS the Red Army captures city
after city, names of new cities fall
from the lips of hopeful citizens
who have been making more per-
sonal sacrifices than any people I've
seen in a recent trip around the
world.
They talk of Minsk, Kiev, Gomel,
Smolensk, Dnepropetrovsk and the
Crimea, and wonder if they may not
soon be standing on the same streets
watching celebrations of their cap
ture.
No Sign of Letdown.
Moscow people still fight on and
no sign have I seen of a letdown,
despite their many hardships and
the knowledge that this winter is
going to be a real tough one
maybe the toughest yet.
There still is enough food to keep
people from going hungry, but you
don't see any fat folks. Every one
admits the possibility that things
might get slightly worse this winter.
A few restaurants have opened
within the past few days, however,
and this is a very promising sign
Moscow didn't have any restaurants
open last winter and the past sum-
mer.
Streets and yards are choked with
wood which women and girls of
this city cut in the forests last
spring and summer. And winter is
coming on, too. Nights and morn
ings are cold now.
But despite all the hardships
there is a great spirit of confidence
in Moscow and high hopes that the
war will soon be over.

ored suspects, one of them man

fessed killing Mrs. Hedwig Wegner

sonation was discovered by a Mis-
souri, State policeman who thought
he saw something wrong with
Mrs. Williams" hair and plucked
wig from her" head.

tinued, the two men said they
were brothers and that their cor

thorities said the impersonation

month before she was slain, lived
on a small farm. She had one son,
a soldier stationed at camp in
Virginia.
