Red Army
Strong Factor

The assumption on the part Of
some observers is that with the as
cendancy of the Red army element,
not only the isolationists, but the
Communist party as whole, lost
influence. There has always been
jealousy between the two, though, Of
course, their membership overlaps
in many cases. You will recall that
at the beginning of the war civilian
commissars were attached to army
units and they censored all orders
issued by the officers. This proved
to be not only highly unpopular
with the military, but also impracti-
cal. The civilian commissars were
then withdrawn and only those with
military training were appointed.
Their authority, in effect at least,
became merged with that of the
military.
Now the high army officers are
recognized as occupying virtually
the same plane as the high party
officials.
Just where Stain stands as a re-
suit of this change in the fabric Of
Russian national policy it is impos-
sible to say. It has been rumored
that he has relinquished his function
as commander-in-chief. It has also
been runored that he is ready to
drop out Of the picture completely
and choose a successor. In that con-
nection it was limited that General
Zhukov, Russia's Eisenhower, was
afflicted with diplomatic illness"
when he suddenly gave up a widely
advertised trip to the United States,
which it was said he had looked for
ward to with considerable zest.
This might have been a signal that
Russia was drawing further within
herself.
Some believe that it indicated that
Zhukov was the chosen successor of
Stain and that, until a new regime
was firmly established, the Soviets
would maintain negative policy in
foreign relations.
In any case, it is clear that the
PRUSSIA objects" policy was inaugu-
rated for some reason and naturally,
since in the past Stain had always
been the one who was able to play
ball with the Allies, at least to the
point where progress seemed to be
made toward working agreements.
Washington is by no means anxious
to see him fade from the picture.
Meanwhile, the one hopeful view
which is being taken Of the Russian
situation is that it may be that there
is some kind of a change taking
place within Russia and that the
present policy of stalling means
nothing worse than a necessary
marking time on the part of the So
Wet leaders until the outcome is
settled.
And then there is always another
reason which pops up as an explana-
ton of almost anything these days
the atomic bomb.

FINLAND:
Try Leaders

Charged with refusal to mediate
differences with Russia and prose-
cutting war on the side of the Axis
instead, eight prominent Finnish
leaders were arrested by the new
government and scheduled for early
trial in the peoples court.
In the unprecedented movement Of
a country to punish former leaders
for their official acts, Vaino Tanner,
dominant Finnish politico of 1941,
was accused of failing to take adj
vantage of a U. S.-British offer to
mediate with Russia that year.
Tanner again was named for fail
ure to accept U. S. proposition to
conciliate Finnish-Russian differ
ences in 1913 along with former
President Risto Ryti, Foreign Min
lister Henrik Ramsay, Prime Min
lister Edwin Linkomies, Gen. Rudolf
Walden, and Finance Minister Tyo-
ko Reinikka.

POLITICS.:
No Trend

Continued Democratic domination
of the big cities and Republican in
roads in small municipalities
marked the recent election results
and offered little clue to a political
trend prior to the all-important con-
gressional elections in 1916.
Most significant feature of the bal
loting was the CLOS failure again
to capture the mayoralty in Detroit,
Mich, motor car center of the U. S.
and United Automobile Workers
stronghold. Calling upon the unor-
ganized residents of the city to rally
for an impartial rather than labor
dominated administration, Mayor
Jeffries won reelection over CLIO
Candidate Frankensteen by a COM
Portable margin.
Maintaining their dominance over
the big municipalities, the Demo-
Gratis handily won the mayoralties
of New York, Boston, Pittsburgh
and Cleveland, while Republicans
won back Buffalo, N. Y, and New
Haven, Conn.,, after more than doz-
en- years.

GRAIN SUPPLIES:

The bulk of the supplies of wheat
available for export in 1945-46 is in
North America, the department of
agriculture reports. With exports
from the United States currently
estimated at 300 to 1926 million BUSH
els, shipments from Canada may be
about as large.
Under favorable transportation,
marketing and handling conditions,
somewhat larger exports would be
possible from the United States
though shipments from Argentina
may fall short.

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES

"Don't you ever get tired Of
writing a weekly column?" we
are often asked. Well, we did en-
joy it more when there was time
to follow up ideas and to go into
things more thoroughly, but
queerly enough sometimes the
things we just dash off attract
far more comment than articles
on which we have spent many
hours of research.
Several weeks ago, when the
deadline had slipped up on us,
while frantically hunting through
a file Of ideas all of which re-
quired too much work we came
upon several numbers of The
Hagerstown Almanack and wrote
few rather sentimental lines
about them. Dozens of people
have spoken to us of the article :
several have written us, the Bentz-
town Bard mentioned it in his
"Good Morning" in the Sun, and
we have a letter from a great,
great grandson of John Gruber,
who established the almanack.
This descendent is Arthur D.
Cans, of Baltimore, who writes
"to lady of the Fourth Estate,
as gentleman Of the Fourth
Estate or something. He en-
closed some interesting clippings,
telling Of his search for old copies
of the Hagerstown Almanack
which was founded in 1897. He
is collecting them for libraries
as a permanent memorial to the
founder.
In Washington County in 194l,
Mr.. Cans collected 314 copies, with
dates running from 1852 to 1874.
In collecting the copies Mr.. Cans
found that in many homes the pub
LEGATION was second only to the
Bible. Many pages of the old
numbers have notations Of per-
sonal happenings, including old
marriages, important events and
times when notes fell due.
So you see the almanack not
only served as weather prophet i
but as brief diary of important
events in the lives of many per-
sons, Mr.. Cans stated that while
FARMERS still read the Almanack
avidly, city people nowadays do
not, find SO much use for it.

father of Arthur D., was pastor
