By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

One OF the incest things about
the USO Club on N street, thinks
Miss Isabel A. Powell, the good
looking young director, Is the
fact that almost every service
man and woman who comes
there wants to have Z share IN
the actual work Of the club.
They're as proud Of having it
look nice and neat and comfort
able and attractive Is they would
be II 1t were their own. In fact.
they feel it Is their own. One
boy had just finished hanging
some curtains In the ballroom
as we arrived to see Miss Powell,
and she was thanking him.
Don't thank me-" said the
young soldier, Il enjoyed doing
it and think what fun I'll have
pointing out those curtains to
every one and saying, How do
you like those? I'm the one who
put them up!"
Before coming to Washington,
Miss Powell was assistant direc-
tor of the USO Club at Elkton,
Md. Prior to that, she taught
dramatics. She is native Of Phil
adelphia, was graduated from the
College Immaculate there and
took postgraduate work at the
University Of Pennsylvania. She
has done lot of choral speak
ing and she played in the Or
chestra when she was at college.
There will be a book review
club the end of this month";" she
told us "and in January a cook
ing class Is to start. We have
all the equipment to start a fenc-
ing class, but we have to get the
instructor before we can begin
that"
Then, too. there are bridge
classes, sewing classes for the girls,
and also charm school for girls.
There is also q public-speaking
class for both men and women,
a class in clay modelling. a dark
room for developing films, spe-
cial Sunday morning breakfasts
and a course on Christian mar
riage. Every one is allowed the
use of the nicely equipped kitch-
en- and the men seem to like that
as much as the girls. But every
one seems to like best Of all the
wonderful dances that take place
regularly every Wednesday, Sat-
urday and Sunday evenings.

Poland end RMmanla,
 The Soviet High Command ar- nounced It's twin penetratlons Of an area which the Germans have been fortifying steadily for more than two years in O communique last night on the first anniversary of the tft- ing og the 6lB.day German siege of r.enlngrad with the clearing of Q nine-mile corridor to the east.
 The Russians, attacking simultan- eously several days ago from their Baltic bridgehead at Oranienbaum, IS miles west of Leningrad, and north of Novgorod, 100 miles south of Leningrad, pierced the heavily fortified German defense line and successfully developed their ofen- sive further" the communique said
 The communique did not claim that any villages had been captured, however, and military observers warned that slow progress must be expected because of the Labyrinth of vast underground shelters trenches and gun batteries which the enemy has prepared.
 Gen. Leonid A. Govorov, hero of the battles of Leningrad and Mos- haisk, led the assault from the re- sort town of Oranienbaum, where the Soviets held 0 i5-mile-long and i've mile deep beachhead on the Baltic coast opposite the Kronstadt Island naval base.
 Gen. Kyrl A. Meretskov, whose forces nave been resieging Novgorod, an important highway and railway junction on the main route between Leningrad and Moscow, from only three miles to the east, drove his wedge into the base of the German armies north of Novgorod.
 Probable withdrawal
 Should the twin drives penetrate deeply enough Into the Leningrad siege belt, which may extend up to 100 miles in depth, the Germans probably will begin a withdrawal toward Latvia and Estonia to escape encirclement.
 The Red Army thus could avoid costly frontal assault into an area whose forests, swamps, rivers and stream constitute natural defensive terrain now studded with thousands of heavy, medium and light field guns, anti-tank cannon and a maze of trench mortar supplements and machine-gun nests.
 However, the Russians have been preparing for the offensive to end once and for all the Nazi threat to Leningrad ever since the relief cor- ridor was established one year ago yesterday. Reports from Leningrad told of a continuous stream of tanks, gunsand troops pouring through the city toward the front.
 On the lst Ukrainian front, Gen. Gen. Nikolai F. Vatutin's army cut the Rovno- Shepetovka railway with
