A Letter 70 Stain
But what good is money when our mother
land is in danger?" wrote Ivan. I'VE want to
invest our savings of $1,000 rubles about
$4,000 to buy war machine, so that with
our own hands we can destroy the German
fascists''
That fine" said Alexandra, but maybe
he won't think I'm strong enough?" So Ivan
added that they were both strong and tough
that they had bdaved the sleet. hail and sub
zero climate of Magadan, as well as extremely
difficult working conditions, without ever
becoming tired or sick.
Then for many months the Boikos waited
for the answer Their faith was strong, and
they never once gave up hope. During the
long Siberian nights Ivan taught Alexandra
how to drive his heavy truck. how to re-
pair the motor Together they studied
what books on mechanics were available,
'pOred over maps, planned how they
would help regain the rich farmlands of
their beloved Ukraine.
postmarked 'MosKvA" arrived at the Boiko
home. Eagerly Ivan ripped it open. The sig
nature at the bottom was unmistakable

The note was typical of the Soviet leader
brief and friendly. Thank you, Ivan Feo-
dorovich and Alexandra Leontivna, for your
interest in the Red Army" Stain wrote them
Your wish will be fulfilled. Accept my warm
greetings"
Enrolled In Tank School
WHEN they had trained requirements for
their jobs the Boikos enrolled at an elite
school for tank specialists where they studied
year. Classroom work was difficult for Ivan
who raised in an orphans home, had started
to earn his living before finishing grade school,
Alexandra, who had a secondary education,
assisted her husband. They studied hard
managed to complete the tank course in the
same group.
They both received officers epaulets with
the tiny gold tank insignia and the small gold
stars signfying the rank of junior lieutenant
Alexandra was appointed tank commander
while Ivan became only tank driver.
Just few days after they were graduated
brand new tank arrived from plant in the
Urals. Painted in huge white letters on its
cleaning turret was the name 'Boiko." This
was their tank! With the zest of happy
couple honeymoonng in a new Ford coupe,
the Boikos climbed into their tank and drove
westward to join their unit

brilliant battle record, and the Boikos con-

One evening after long, exhausting days
labor Ivan arrived home elated, waving
copy of the local newspaper. As Alexandra
listened wide-eyed, Ivan read small news
item about beekeeper who had written a
letter to Stain offering to purchase new air
plane for young pilot. Stain had permitted
him to buy it.
That very night Ivan, with Alexandra's
help sat down and drafted. letter to the
Kremlin His big fist trembled as he wrote
about their desire to fight against the in
vaders.
He wrote that he and Alexandra we're
exceptionally good workers, always ver-ful-
filling their plans. In doing so they worked
overtime, too, and had accumulated lot of
money.

Disturbances Of the Nose
Results Of inflammation

lead to the development OF imam
nation. These include abnormal
bending of the septum in the nose
or any other disorder which blocks
the drainage.
If a child suffers from a chronic
nasal discharge, Doctor Wells sug-
gcsts that irrigation of the nose
may be helpful in some instances;
the use Of heat lamps also may be
of value; a suction pump may be
used to cause drainage of the
sinuses, which may help; ultra
violet ray treatments, as we'll as
the electrical form of the treat
ment known as diathermy, may be
tried. The use of drops and sprays
has not been found Of special value
in the cases he has treated.
Of course, when a child has a
chronic discharge from the nose
it is important to have a careful
study made to determine, if pos
sible, what is the cause. With re-
moval of the cause, the condition
as a rule can be overcome.

II. R. S.:-My young daughter
has very dry skin. What causes it
and what can | do about it?
Answer:-The character of the
skin varies in different individuals,
depending somewhat on the amount
of secretion from the fat glands in
the skin. Dryness of the skin may
be due to some extent to a lack of
thyroid secretion. However. in
such Instances, symptoms such as
coarseness of the hair, lack of
energy and excessive gain in
weight will be noted. In cases
where the skin is naturally dry,
there does not seem to be much
that can be done outside of apply
ing a bland ointment, such as cold
cream, to the skin once a day.

ties, the Santa Clara county sher-
ifs office reported late Monday.

NO TICKET FOR BRIDGES
christian Science Monitor)

The supreme court, in another close
decision, decided against the deportation
of Harry Bridges as an alien with al
legged Communist affiliations. The ma
jority held inconclusive the evidence
submitted that he was a member of the
Communist Party, and ruled that his
connections amounted to no more than
cooperation not in subversive activities,
but in measures toward wholly legal
objectives. The minority contended that
the court was concerned only with the
question of Bridges party membership
or affiliation, and that the evidence pre-
sented was sufficient
The Bridges deportation issue has been
fought not only in the courts, but also in
the press and in congress- ever since
1888. Bridges has been target of the
Dies committee. He was named in what
amounted to bill of attainder which
actually passed the house of representa-
tives. Impeachment of Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins was moved, because
of her insistence on allowing the labor
leader hearing before enforcing the de-
portation order.
Harry Bridges became something of
symbol-of alien, subversive doctrines,
to those who are fearful of Communism
in America; of martyrdom, to union la
Dor and to not a few liberals. He was
on his way to being made another Tom
Mooney. And to the further embarass-
ment of those who had urged his expul-
sion, Bridges, whatever his motives, lee
his Longshoremen's Union vigorously in
the war effort.
By and large, the decision should clear
the air and ease tensions.

Hamsun told the court that many

ted he had Nazi leanings long be-
fore the invasion of Norway.
Under questioning he said he
would not deny connections with

Rubber Shortage
Speeds Plans
For GuayuIe Crop

WASHINGTON, June 26. (UP)-
The entire guayule rubber crop, CEN
tered mainly in California, will be
harvested without regard to plant
maturity as fast as the Rubber De-
velopment Corp. can construct four
more mills, it was announced Tues
day.
The speed-up of guayule harvest
ing was made necessary by grow
ing depletion of crude rubber stocks,
a committee report accompanying
the second efficiency appropriations
bill said.
Four mills will be built in addi-
ton to two now operating in Cali
fornia. Construction and equipment
will cost S2,500,O00.
In this way it is estimated that
about $4,000 long tons of rubber will
be produced between October, 1945,
and April /, 1947," the report said.
Original plans for harvesting qua
yule called for gradual picking and
milling the plants as they matured.
a process which would have extend
ed into 1851. The new plans call
for picking the guayule virtually
Immediately for whatever rubber the
crop would yield.
BY 1947 all plantations would
have been harvested. leaving only
experimental plots which the de-
partment of agriculture might wish
to carry" a spokesman for the en-
ergency rubber project told the COM
mittee
Rep. W. r. Poage Cd Tex, told
the appropriations committee dur
ing hearings the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Co. will operate the four
new mills. All the crude rubber will
be sold to the Rubber Reserve Corp.
at price which eventually will am
ortize the mills.

MARSHALL INVITES STALIN
TO REVEAL JAP POLICY

Chief Of Staff General George c. Mar
shall, tacitly has opened the way for
Stain to come forth with his long de-
layed answer to the question OF when
Russia will enter the war against Japan
Or the question if he intends to do so.
Marshall made his bid in a recent Of
ficial announcement of the plans ahead
for the defeat of Japan. He opened his
statement with the promise of a speedy
Knockout of the Japs with a force of
firepower and men more overwhelming
than that which defeated Germany"
And then the chief of staff warned
that men and supplies must be available
to carry out additional operations not
Immediately foreseen.' Then, said he:
"For example, we have the great i'm
ponderable at the moment as to whether
or not Russia will enter the war. That
presents something for us to consider in
our approach to final victory in the Pa
cific"
Is doubt as to Russia's coming into the
war expressed between the lines in Mar
shalPs statement? At least, taking his
words literally, he just doesn't know
what Russia will do.
This is the most fortnight statement
GmdndUlng from WdSHlllSIOH SiilSC tiiO
defeat of Germany.
1t had been felt that Russia would dis
close her intentions as to Japan soon
after the European victory. Further
more, this belief was strengthened with
the announcement that the Russ-Japan
aggression pact would not be renewed.
Marshalls statement again brings up
the whole matter of Russia's Pacific at
titude Some observers hold to the view
that Russia soon will appear as sell
named mediator between the United
States and Japan, or present peace terms
at the behest of Tokyo There have
been many pretty we'll substantiated re-
ports of such a move.
That Russia is reluctant to become IN
volved in the Orient is apparent. BY all
odds there should be no feeling of friend
illness of Russia toward Japan. But Rus
sia holds tremendous interests, political
and economic, in the Orient. War with
japan would not help these interests. 1t
could damage them. War with Japan
could eventuate in Russia becoming en-
tangled in China, and this would not
contribute to Russ power in the Orient.
The main point, however, is-did Stain
promise, at any time, to fight with the
! United States against Japan?
