Last week, U. 3. 1lgnter planes
set up new record by penetrating
a distance of $50 miles into Europe
i LOO miles round trip.
This has been published, but what
may not be realized is that fighters
are working this run in relays.
Three different teams of fighters

/. The first team goes out with
the bombers, and protects them
halfway to the target, meeting and
engaging the German fighters.
Q. The second team, starting later,
catches up with the bombers at the
halfway mark and escorts them the
rest of the way to the target. Thus,
they arrive at the halfway marx
without having to combat Germans
all the way, and so have fresh sup
plies of gas and ammunition, while
the first team, with exhausted sup

Washington System Of
Schooling Developing
Work, Study Program
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 8. = I
don't know if other communities
are experimenting with it, but the
Washington school system has de-
veloped a combined work study
program that government officials
and some private employers here
say is the best little manpower
boon that has come their way
In the last semester, more than
300 high school students, major
ing in business, have performed
10000 man hours of work and earn
ed for themselves an aggregate of
more than $4,000. In addition they
have received credits toward gradu-
alton and those who have been
graduated and didn't wish a college
education have stepped right into
permanent jobs at the pay of ex-
perienced workers.
A survey by school officials shows
that these youngsters are working
part time in agriculture, the War
Manpower Commission, the Mari
time Commission, State Depart
ment, Civil Service Commission,
National Archives, the FBI, the
National Education Association,
and several private businesses, in
Guiding groceries, filling stations
and various retail stores.
Those WORKING IN the govern
ment take regular civil service ex-
aminations and are rated as part
time employees. Their average pay
is SO cents an hour, although some
as "junior clerks make much more.
The pay, as matter of fact, the
survey shows. ranges from 40 cents
to rs cents and hour.
The students work from Is to
more than, % hours a week and
their high school classes leach must
carry at least four subjects, two of
which are business courses are so
arranged that they have their sf-
ternoons free. For Is to % hours,
they are given one full school cred
it; and an additional half credit
for all above that.
Scholastic standards must be
maintained if the students are al
lowed to continue work, but instruc-
toys report that in most instances
the youngsters have upped their
grades while taking on outside
duties.
The program is also making 1t
possible for many boys and girls

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
ut Col Robert S. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON = At the 1910
Democratic National Convention in
Chicago, Henry Wallace ducked n
photographer incident which he
has since lived to regret.
He was sitting with Mayor Ed
Kelly, boss of Chicago, and Mayor
(''I am the Law Hague, boss OF
Jersey City, when cameraman APP
preached. Seeing him, the future
Vice President suddenly got up and
ducked out of The picture. He made
no secret of the fact that he did
not want to be photographed with
the two powerful Democratic bosses.
Last January, Hague and Kelly
were in Washington at the jack
son Day dinner and, afterward,
while reminiscing about old times,
recalled this incident. But they did
not know that the pendulum Of fate
would swing in their direction very
soon.
Just three weeks later, Vice Presi-
dent Wallace, returning from a
political speaking tour through the
West, stopped in Chicago and de-
ferentially called on Mayor Kelly
to pay his respects.
And this time, it was Mayor Kelly
who refused to have his picture
taken with the Vice President of
the United States.

confession of the violation of the
statute" in an article written for
American Magazine.
In that article, Smith wrote to
Biddle, Murray made the state

both countries after the European
victory which Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower has predicted will
come this year.
Outstanding among these are the
outlook for predominantly naval
and air warfare against the jap
anese, with a consequent reduc-
ton in the size of land armies
required as compared with the war
against Germany.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference to de-
mobilization was in broad sense
-demobilization of war production
as well as of men.
It would be a bad guess to as
sumo that millions of soldiers will
get their discharge papers as soon
as Germany is defeated. Oecupa-
ton forces will be needed in con-
quered territory, perhaps even in
liberated lands of the United Ma
tons.
Also, while the ground forces
needed for the war with Japan
probably will be smaller than
those deemed necessary for the
European operations now in prog
ress or preparation, the size still
will be large.
If it is assumed that reconquest
of the Philippines is part of the
developing Pacific war, it would
be a safe guess that at least $780,
900 soldiers may be needed for
that job, in addition to great air
and sea forces and elaborate sup
ply establishments. The japanese
used something like 10000 men
to take the Philippines from
force about one-fourth that size.
Conquest of Burma and Malaga,
possibly of Siam and Indo-China,
poses similar requirements. If
south China ports are opened to
Allied shipping, additional forces
will be needed in China.
Because of such factors as these,
there is tendency in official quar-
tiers to treat the rehabilitation
prospects for this year with con-
siderable caution.

To the north the right wing OF
Gen. Nikolai Vatutin's F r t
Ukrainian Army captured the dis
trict center of Korets, extending
the Russian line into old Poland,
and advanced to the rail station
of Tutovichi, IL miles west OF Sar-
nv on the railroad to Warsaw.
Tutovichl's seizure put the Rus
slams 46 miles inside the pre-War
Polish frontier.
Also captured was the town of
Kilikiev, giving the Red army
continuous line into old Poland
from Dombrovitsa, II miles north
of Sarny, southwest to Tutovichl,
then southeast to Korets and Kill
kiev. This line, more than 80 miles
long. gave the Russians more than
1000 square miles of territory IN
old Poland.
More than 60 other towns and
hamlets were captured by Vatu-
tins forces in the Korets area,
including Berezdovo, 10 miles
south of Korets, and Maidan-Vila,
railroad station Is miles northeast
OF Shepetovka. Kilikiev is due
north of Shepetovka, and its cap
ture spearheaded a thrust which
threatened to outflank the impor-
tant rail junction of Shepetovka.
A thousand Germans we're killed
during the day in this area and
several hundred were captured.

offensive to Mozyr smashed

many mortars and machine-guns
were concentrated in this area by
the Germans. The enemy attaches
enormous importance" to the
MOZyr-ka llnKOVlcnl area, llle pul-
letin said.
The Russians, aided by their
artillery which silenced German
guns, made a deep outflanking
maneuver and smashed at the
German flank and rear. Other
forces, coming in from the south,
swung west of Mozyr and cap
tured Zimovishche Moseyevka,
nine miles west of Mozyr. More
than 40 towns were taken in the
days advances and more than
1900 Germans were killed.
Kalinkovichi, a junction on the
Leningrad-O Odessa north-south rail-
way and the Moscow-Pinsk east
west line was the most important
objective of Rokossovsky's current
push.
Its capture-which appeared i'm
minent-would hasten the clearing
of the Observation-Disclosures rail link
which the Russians need to in
crease communications between
their White Russian and Ukrainian
drives. The Russians hold the por-
ton from ,Berdichev to Ovruch and
a section between Kalinkovichi and
Znlobin, but still must clear the
Germans from Yelsk, Mozyr sta
ton, Kalinkovichi and Zholbin.
