Crippled UN Red NelUsn1Gn
 Certain There'U Not Be War
BY ROBERT RICHARDS

OH1UcU RTeSS SC8LI COFreSpOuUcHU
 United Nations Hall, Flushing, Oct. 29-(UP)-The speakers had finish ed, and the great council chamber of the United Nations was silent. The little man picked up his black crutches and smiled.
 Don't worry, there will not be an- other war;" he said. T am certain of it."
 Lost Part Of Foot
 His name was Boris 1Zakov, dip lomatic correspondent for Moscow's Pravda, and he walked with crutches because part of his left foot was blown off by a German hand gren- ade while fighting as major with partisans in the Leningrad district.
 Our people simply do not believe that there could be another war;" Izakov added, putting away his pad and pencil. My comrades in the Soviet Army have nothing but re- spect for the Americans. They still remember them as comrades-in- arms.
 If you asked them about the pos sibility of war, they would think you made joke-a very bad one"
 Izakov said that 1t seemed to him that the United Nations was off to a good beginning, and this was good.
 War Left Mark
 Like many Americans, have son." Izakov said. T would not rest easy if I believed that my six-year- old Igor must grow up to fight. AL ready he has seen too much of war and it left its mark upon him"
 When Boris Izakov was in the hos- pital with his wounds, they brought young Igor to see him.
 T was white" he explained. T was very white and he did not know me. He would not call me father, but called me uncle name used for strangers in Russia. I was home for months before he would accept me.
 At 43, Izakov has been a journalist for B years. He writes editorial comment for Pravda. T have had 12 operations and must soon have an- other" he explained. T was at the Paris Conference but did not wish to come here. I wanted to get back to Moscow and return to 8 doctors care, but my editor said: Please. You know how editors are"
 Izakov smiles unbelievingly when people speak of war.
 "It was not much fun on the Northwest Front" he said, south of the Lake of linen. wore my Red Star, my ribbons, and officers tunic. But always we partisans fought be- hind the German lines"
 Then the Germans blew off his foot and Izakov lay on frozen air field for three days and nights while the Russians and Germans battIed for 1t. Sometimes I took out my pis- tol and placed it to my head" he said, "and then it would seem as if we were winning" Oh, he'll would say, and return the pistol to its hol- ster."
 Finally they drove the Germans off. A plane landed and they flew Izakoy out.
 Nurse Wounded The Leg
 But there were many who did not get out" he said. T remember a nurse who was wounded in the legs. The Germans were closing in on us. We had to leave. She lay there with six Soviet wounded. Shoot uS,' she cried.
 No, we cannot shoot you, we said.
 Then give us a gun and let us shoot ourselves. But you must go away. It is not nice that you should see it.
 So we walked away" Izakov said And we heard seven shots"
 That is why Boris Izakov smiled when he said: I think things here are off to a good start"
 No. He doesn't want another war,

6 MARINE OFFICERS REDUCED IN RANKS;
 ARE pRIVATE5 NOW
Action Follows Circulating Petition Disappearing
 Discharge Policy

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 22.- Three Marine Sergeants and three Corporals were reduced to privates today because they circulated a pe- tition which disapproved of Marine Corps discharee policy and de- manded more information on Leatherneck demobilization plans. Announcing this as the final ac- ton contemplated" in the week old case, It. Gen. Roy S. Geiger, Pa cific Fleet Marine Commander, said the demotions were not punishment tor the six men.
 "The individuals concerned have demonstrated their unfitness to be 1on-commissioned officers" he de- clared. They failed to display the qualities of leadership, judgment, loyalty and fidelity which are re- quisites of on-commissioned offi- cers in the United States Marine Corps"
 The six Marines were denoted on the recommendation of a board convened by Maj. Gen. J. T. Moore Commander of the Air Fleet of the Pacific Marine Force and in charge of the Eva Air Station in North west Oahu, where the six men were stationed.
 The board ruled that the Mar ines participated in the protest in violation of Navy regulations" that they acted without the knowledge or consent of their commanding officer and thas they made no pre- vious effort to obtain the informa- ton they desired through official channels.

DOUBLE FEATURE BILL FOR CAPITOL
 DURING WEEKEND

Movie audiences are taken behind the scenes in Hollywood and shown some things that are usually guard ed from studio visitors in RKO Ra- dio's "The Falcon in Hollywood with Tom Conway in his featured role as The Falcon at the Capitol this week end.
 The Falcon, in pursuit of lovely film actress whom he has followed from the Hollywood Park race track performs minor miracle when he gets past the studio cops and gains admittance to the lot. Accompan- jed by his girl taxi driver, who re- fuses to leave him, The Falcon, in his search for an actress he'd met recently, comes upon the body of an actor on a sound stage
 His sleuthing is carried on un- der great difficulties; a Shakes peare-quoting producer and de- termined director are both ready to kill The Falcon because his in-
 vestigations interfere with their
 production; meantime the studio cops want only to throw him out of the place. Another murder and an attempted murder occur before
 The Falcon is finally able to re-
 sume his interrupted vacation. { The other feature is Let's Go i, Steady, a different version of de- ] linquency of teen-agers than is us
 ually screened. This picture is about normal, happy youngsters who are ambitious and impatient for suc- cess, should be refreshing and in- deed relief to those adults who have been led to believe that our American youth was running wild. It's lifting tunes, youthful romance and light-hearted humor make you laugh your blues away.
