 TO KIEV
HY HENRY sHAPIR0

eUnited Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Moscow, October 13. = (UP) - Russian troops are stor1nlng the rear approaches to Kiev, the German evacua- tiOn of which is almost com plete, front reports said to- day, and 45O miles to the southeast are smelling Kerch in evident preparation for an offensive against the Crimea.
 Refugees from Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, were quoted as saying the Germans had all but abandoned Kiev after burning or blowing up its main buildings and driv- ing off its residents for slave labor.
 Military photographs and captions revealed that the Red Army of the Caucasus had moved it's artillery up to the Kerchenski Straits to bOmbard Kerch, the main town of H1e finger.like penin- sula of the same name in the eastern Crimea.
 Only last Saturday the Russians crushed the last resistance on the Taman Peninsula across from Kerch. The new reports made 1t plain that they were moving swift iy to capitalize on the victory with c bomkardment softenlng the Cri- mean defenSes for Q coaInter-invas- ton.
 Converging Russian forces were reported tightening their grip on the immediate approaches to Kiev west of the Dnieper while pounding the German defenses from Trukhanov island in the river some 300 yards from the city waterfront.
 4 front dispatch to the govern nent newspaper IZvestia said the refugees reported that Kiev was de- serted except for German policemen who stand guard at street intersec- tions ''like scarecrows."
 Only an occasional vehicle moves through streets filtered with the rubble of wrecked office buildings and monuments, the dispatch said.

there was no leader for them.
An open discussion followed In
which mention of some possibili-
ties for leadership were given.
Among them was Mr.. Taylor who
had formerly led the boys in a
band at the Y. w. C. A.
Mrs. Nichols pointed out that
she would like to see a person
with good ability to discipline
and handle the boys. Mrs. Allen
said at this time that she was
particularly concerned about the
recreation problem and the pos
sibility of getting help with plac-
ing people in rooms. Everyone
agreed that these points are our
greatest contribution to Rooms
Registry. The possibility was dis
cussed of soliciting more rooms
from the people in town with de-
sirable homes and home condi-
tions by a concerted telephone
effort, letters or hand bills be-
cause there are no more rooms
listed with the committee. 1t was
decided that this business would
be further discussed at the next
meeting of the Rooms Registry
Committee.

discrimination, no segregation, on
a racial basis.
Federal participation in edu-
cation - power obtained by dis
tribution of endowments - will
be strong. Negroes in ever-in-
creasing thousands will have ad-
vantages of education hitherto
unavailable.
Another solvent would be a
changed attitude among organi-
zed forces of industry and labor
in areas of their influence to
give workmen, regardless of race,
opportunity for training which
does not now exist.
Again, all media of publicity,
press. radio, movies, theatre have
real obligation to break down
the stereotyped public impression
of the average Negro as a shift
less, good-natured, no-account
whose value is chiefly to amuse
and who is tolrantly patted on
the head.
Discrimination Must End
1.-THE solution of the present
crisis? Just give the Negro a
sense that a movement in his be-
half is actually under way and
in which all whites of influence
are cooperating and the relief of
tension will surely come. One of
those tensions is ghetto crowding.
Restricted areas such as exist in
the North and border cities must
be broken up. This done, tension
will also be relieved. Price con
trolls must be strictly enforced. l
know they are not enforced ey-
erywhere but they are less en-
forced in Negro districts, as, for
example, Harlem. Greater fair
ness would be salutary in it's eff

club grew, their work expanded;

This offer was Immediately coun-
tered by Mr. Bufford who offered

This offer was accepted because

To Our Portland Patrons;

Mrs. M. M. Duncan, Manager

ly interested in some past cul-
tural dffort which is needed in
the community and people with an
interest IN education and in the
community are needed.
1t was also pointed out that
the Y. w. C. A. committee needs
people who do not already have
an interest but who also at this
time have time and energy to
share with others. Also that at
all times the committee constant
ly needs individual people who
can cooperate and work together.
1t was pointed out however that
persons who might not be able to
do work with other people and
who do have skills and who are
specialists maybe used to do jobs
such as lectures, classes, etc.
where they can make and con-
tribute without being too involv-
ed with others as Is the case with
committee work.
The next job was that of how
to carry out plans. At this in
stance, the secretary took up the
matter of meetings, mentioning
first that all meeting should be
planned, all meeting should have
a purpose, that the more people
who are in on the planning of a
meeting, the more interest can be
shown. Keep the planning and
the meeting as much as possible
from becoming 'clickish" and
don't as a chairman do all the
work yourself.
When a project does not come
up to expectations, you can't give
up but must keep plugging away
