Reds Seize
Prize Hill
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

(UmCe0 FFeSS Sta11 COfreSpOMucnCp
Moscow, April 27-(UP)-Russian
troops have seized a strategically-
important hill in their second day of
limited attacks southeast of Sta
lnislawow in old Poland, the Soviet
high command revealed today.
(MoScow still failed to confirm
German and Romanian reports of
new Soviet offenSives north Of Iasi
and southeast of the BeSsarabian
City of Chisinau. A Romanian
communique said a few local Rus
sian penetrationS southeast Of Chi
sinau were 'Nquidated or consider
ably compressed yesterday
A tank detachment was credited
with successfully storming the hill
after killing nearly 200 Germans on
its slopes. The attack further les
sened German pressure against the
Soviet flank below Lwow.
On the End Ukrainian front, pre-
Sumably in Bessarabia or northern
Romania, a German infantry and
tank regiment attacked a supposed
ly weak sector Of the Soviet line,
only to run into heavy concentra-
ton Of artillery that decimated
their rams. More than 800 Of the
enemy were killed and 90 wounded
were found on the battlefield. Twen-
ty German tanks were knocked out.
Nearly 1000 Germans were killed
in a neighboring sector, where a
company of Romanian soldiers sur
rendered to the Red Army.
Soviet planes and ships partici-
pating In the siege of Sevastopol,
Crimean naval base, during "a
hour period sank five enemy trans
ports totalling at least 1000 tons,
two patrol boats and an unspecified
additional number of landing craft,
most of them while attempting to
evacuate the beleaguered garrison.
Two other transports were dam
aged seriously by near misses and
cannon and machine-gun fire from
Soviet planes. Red air force planes
also raided Sevastopol itself, touch
ing off fires and at least two ''trem-
endous explosions, the Soviet mid

Booklet For
Troops Said
To Be Red
Ry d. w. DITTMER

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 27-(UP)-A
special Congressional committed
charged today that a booklet called
THE Races of Mankind" Offered
by the Army as reading material tx
soldiers, was filled with "all the
techniques-more or less subtly pre-.
sented-of Communist propaganda.
The charges were made by House
military affairs subcommittee, head
ed by Rep. Carl T. Durham, D., N
c., and engaged in investigating the
"infiltration" into the Army and it,
training programs Of teachings Oh
PHILOSOPHERS 'inimical to the inter
ests of the people and the govern
ment."
In a report on the ''Races of Man.
kind" written by Ruth Benedict
and DR.. Gene Weltfish of New York
the subcommittee said most of the
statements attributed to science OF
scientists were vague and range al
the way from half truths through
innuendos to downright inaccu-
racies."
The inquiry into the pamphlet
began after southern congressman
charged that it conveyed the mes
sage that some educated northern
Negroes were the intellectual
equals of many southern whites.
The report said that while the
theme of the booklet Is that the
races of mankind are all brothers,
it failed to take into account that
even brothers in the. same family
may differ mentally, physically
socially or morally.
No Objection
1.-THE authors see no objection to
cohabitation and intermarriage be-
tween members Of different races"
the subcommittee said. yet they
admit that when the Germans and
Czechs tried it, that did not make
the two countries like each other"
1.-THE authors assert in another
place that the Japanese have bred
a generation Of ruthless fighters,
which Is rather surprising in view
Of the fact that they have devoted
considerable space to developing the
theory that such a thing is impos-
Sible."
The report said the authors start
their "thinly disguised sophistrieS'
as anthropologists, but drop an
thropology for politics, sociology,
labor unioniZation and similar sub
jects employed by propagandists OF
