 Ed Stettinius says the Soviet forces have bene able to main- tain good communications, partly because we have sent them l89,- 900 field telephones, and over 670,- 900 miles of wire-enough to go around the worl d27 times :, Equally impressive is the quantity of barbed wire lend-leased to the Soviets = 216,00O miles of it. ''It is significant" says Stettiniua "that afther the fall of 1942, the Soviet Army stopped asking for barbed wire in large quantities. It's the Nazis who need barbed wire now"

 APPLES ANT CHEAPER
 Acting Commissioner of Labor Statistics A. F. HinrichS, whose bureau is responsible for compiling the governments official cost of liv- ing index, recently got quite 8 scare about the accuracy of the BIS fig ures when he went o the grocery to buy apples and they wanted to charge him 39 cents for three pounds. Remembering the days when he used to buy apples for 3 cents 8 pound, Hinrichs next day called in his cost of living people to ask them if they had reports on any prices like that. The experts came back beaming. Sure enough, they had reports of equally high apple prices from several cities, though their national average was much lower. MT. Hinrichs breathed easier BODY BLOW
 After the State Departments re- cent series of broadcasts in which Secretary Hull and his staff tried to explain to the American people just what U. s. foreign policy was and how 1t was made, MT. Walter Lipp- mann, the distinguished columnist and authority on foreign affairs, wrote a letter to an official in the State Department, saying how shocked he was to hear State De- partment officials on the radio. It was, he said, just as though he had walked into a saloon and found his grandmother.
 From May, 1941, through Decem- Der, 1943, individual purchases of war bonds totaled $25, 5,000, ,000, 900, less than 10 per cent of which have been cashed in. This shows how 90 per cent of the people are hanging on to their war bonds, for postwar security.

Washington Club
Hears Miss SebOn

How kindness, understanding and
medical research have transformed
hundreds OF mentally retarded
children into constructive, happy
members of society was described
in an illustrated lecture to men,
bers of the Washington Club yes
terday by Miss Clarette Sehon, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Vineland
On. j. Training School.
Tracing the history of public in
terest, or lack Of interest, in what
she termed "society's most handi-
capped group" Miss Sehon told how
the Vineland Training School, which
now numbers nearly $50 children
among its Students" has taught
hundreds of boys and girls to be-
come expert workers in many occu-
pations, including handcraft, farm
ing, animal husbandry, and domes-
tic duties of various kinds.
Several slides showed articles of
handcraft made by the Training
School children who, the speaker
explained, are now preparing for
their annual Christmas bazaar when
they sell and purchase as gifts the
articles made throughout the year.
While science is still in the early
experimental stages of research on
the why and wherefore" of feeble
minded children born to normal
parents, much headway has been
made in determining the care OF
these handicapped persons, Miss
Sehon concluded. She expressed
considerable optimism on the prog
ress which will be made in this field
following the war, declaring that
public interest has become greatly
increased in the study of mental
illnesses since the outbreak of the
present war.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, the club
president, who presided.

Unity Of Americas
Urged Speaker
Sam RavbArm

A strong plea for inter- American
unity was sounded by Sam Ray
burn, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, at a dinner given
last night at the Willard Hotel by
the Women's National Press Club
in honor of a group of Latin Amer
ican newspaperwomen visiting the
country.
Declaring that the interdepend-
ence of the United States has ex-
lpanded to the interdependence of
all the countries of this hemi-
sphere, he said, "No longer can one
part of this country be prosperous
without the rest and I expand that
to our sister countries south of us.
GAS I travel throughout the
United States" the Texan contin-
ued, II find that not all good people
are in Texas. AS we get to know
our South American friends, we
discover that not all good people
live in the United States"
Asserting that civilization Is
facing its greatest trial in his
tory, he said that the Americas In
years to come must stand together
in their own protection and that
of the rest of the world.
OF the seven visitors from South
and Central America he said he
hoped they would come in "increas-
ing numbers" and added:
II hope that we go to them and
get to know them better so that
our civilization may march along
uninterrupted"
Senorita Lenka Franulic of Chile
speaking for the visitors, reviewed
the six-week tour of this country
which she and her six colleagues
have completed under the sponsor
ship of the Women's National Press
Club and the Office of the Co.
ordinator of Inter- American Affairs
She was happy that the tour hap
pened to coincide with the climax
of a wartime election year and
called it "a great lesson in de-
mocracy for U.S."
Some groups in South America
are attempting to spread the doc
trine that the United States will be
too powerful after the war, she said
adding that she will deny this
That idea is nonsense"
OF all the traveling-to Fort
Knox, to Cleveland, to the Univer-
sity of Minnesota School of Jour-
nalism, to Boston, New York-she
will never forget the WACS at Fort
Des Moines, she said.
After seeing the way these wom-
en- do their work, think American
women are equal to their men," she
declared.

ARMY NURSES
 DECORATED BY GENERAL

HEADQUARTERS, ELEVENTH AIR FORGE SERVICE COM MAND-Five flying Army nur- ses who have evacuated army pa tients by air from the Aleutians and Alaska for over year, were recently awarded the Air Medal by Maj. Gen. Davenport Johnson, commanding general of the Eleventh Air Force.
 General Johnson flew from his field headquarters to Elmendorff Field to present the medals per sonally to the nurses, who were the first women to receive the Air Medal in this theater. All air force troops at the base passed in review following the ceremony.
 The nurses so honored were 2nd Its. Betsy Bradford of Sharon Mass, Anna R. Hoover of Ports mouth, Ohio, Helen F. Lyon of Chicago, H., Alta M. Thompson of Bricelyn, Minn., and Winifred R. Zirkle of Indianapolis, Ind. All have over $50 hours in the air.
 The nurses took up their duties in the Alaskan theater before the battle of Attu when the weather was knocking more planes out of the air than the Japs did. One of their number, It. Ruth M. Gardi- ner, was killed in crash on the Alaska peninsula shortly after Attu while on a mission to evac- uate battle casualties. Later the army named a general hospital 1 after her, the first time the army has so honored a woman.
 The nurses citation stated that although in the performance oi their duties they were often re- l ouired to remain at advanced bases in the Aleutian area at a
