THE BATTLE OF RUSSIA" OPENING
 AT 10TH CENTURY

That campaigns are won by gen. erals - but wars are won by people" is the striking truth brought home by incontestable evidence in The Battle of Russia" which opens to- night at the 2oth Century Theatre.
 The truism is emphasized dramati- cally throughout the thrilling fea- ture-length film which tells the story of the gallant people whose flesh and blood stalled the blitz and turned the tide of history From the beginning, in it's front-line shots of the Russian fighting to the great victory at Stalingrad, generals are shown only briefly; there is only one brief shot of Stalin, Molotov and other Soviet leaders. When officers are seen at all, it is only incident ally, and while in action. For the rest, the people who are shown are just that-ordinary people.
 The picture was produced by the Special Service Division, Army Ser vice Forces, War Department, in cooperation with the US. Army Sig nal Corps. 20th Century-Fox is distributing the film for the War Activities Committee of the Motion Picture Industry.

German POWs To
Be Returned To
Europe By Spring

Washington, AP - All enemy
prisoners of war, their work rap
idly nearing an end in the United
States, are expected to be return
ed to Europe by next spring,
providing a major source Of la
Dor for reconstruction of the bat
tered continent.
The office Of the provost mar
shall general of the Army says
the number of enemy prisoners
Of war in the United States as
of Sept. IL, 1945, was 362,170
Germans and 49,784 Italians.
(There were also 5000 Japanese).
This does. not include approx
mately 1880 prisoners who have
been shipped back to Europe
since We Day.
The provost marshal generals
office expected $4,000 additional
POW's to be returned to Europe
during September, including 40
Italian service units comprising
229 officers and $500 enlisted per
sonnet.
Maj. Gen. Archer L. Lerch, pro-
vost marshal general, said the
prisoners of wal in this country
are working at present but the
need for such labor is decreasing.
The release of men from the
Army, cutbacks in government
contracts for war materials and
layoffs of workers during recon
version of wal industries have
freed thousands of Americans to
replace prisoners of war in GER
tain industries.
In the South. the POW's pick
ed cotton, citrus and other fruits,
cut sugar cane. harvested peanuts,
rice and tovacco and cut pulp
wood.
In the West they harvested su-
gar beets and packed fruits and
vegetables, while in the North
