tangled in his parachute lines as
he hit the water. Kept afoat by
his life vest. he managed to free
himself and then to swim the four
miles to shore.
Given first aid treatment on
reaching shore he was removed to
the Mitchell Field Base Hospital,
fatigued but uninjured.
1t. Ogden. the base commander
said, was over the densely populated

For 1t is obviously impossible to
assign an officer to each of the little

political fights III their IL years of
existence. will forgo their ma
tional biennial convention this sum-
mer if w. J. Primm. ir. chairman
of their national committee, has his
way.
Mr.. Primm. who is a son-in- law of
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, says. Our attention
should be focused mainly on the war
rather than on political meetings"
He also gave transportation diff
culties as a reason for canceling
this wars convention and letting
present officers of the organization,
known as the Young Democratic
Clubs of America, serve two more
years. or until after the next ma
tional elections.
Mr.. Primm, Montgomery (Ala }
businessman, led a fight in the
Young Democrats Pittsburgh con-
vention in August. 1889. to indorse
President Roosevelt for a third
term, but ne has not announced how
he feels about fourth term. He
did say, though. that the Young
Democratic Clubs of America were
organized in 1882 as New Deal Or
sanization and lis New Deal or

Mr.. Primm has written Joe c.
Carr, 33-year-old president of the
Young Democrats and Secretly Of
State for Tennessee. suggesting that
the groups national committee meet
next month in the Midwest and de-
eide formally then against a con-
vention this year.
He said many of the clubs men,
bers, now claiming almost 100000

best thing to do now would be to
hold the officer personnel together

navy made famous by men like
Drake and Nelson will rest for one
climactic moment in the hands of
purposeful young Yorkshire farm
lads and London truck drivers, who
have been building the new naval
assault tradition with Dieppe and
North Africa for a starter.
These recruitS-mostly men of last
years draft-have been training by
the hundreds at scattered coastal
bases to man the swiftly increasing
fleet of shallow-draf landing craft
for men and tanks which is being
United States.
1t will be the task of these men,
working in crews of four, five or
ten, to get the assault forces ashore
and fight alongside them if neces-
sary when the zero hour for invasion
comes.
Trained for Attack Alone.
IhelrS Is new service born OF
smphibious war needs and built up
almost entirely since Dunkerque
They do not cruise, escort or block
ade. 1t is theirs only to attack
and to that end alone are they
being trained.
Fast wooden landing craft have
been used successfully, but now most
of the British and American output
is devoted to light steel craft built
to skim into shallow water where
destroyers cannot go. slide their
drawbridge prows onto the beach
and pull off again with kedge
anchors dropped on their way in
through the surf.

Rostovj the Russians cracked the
last major German strong point
shielding the southern approaches
to the Cossack metropolis that
forms the principal gateway to the

They reached the gates OF Ros-

city, which has changed hands
three times in this war and which
he Germans called the "spigot to
the Russian oil barrel" when they
first captured it in November,
1871.
Still clinging TO the Kuban cap
