Army Needs New Frigid Weather Equipment

WASHINGTON, (P The war department said today Alaska test maneuvers have proved the army must develop a lot of new equip ment if it expects to be an efficient fighting force in frigid climates.
 Summarizing findings of task forces "Williwaw" and "Frigid" which will return soon from bases on Adak and at Fairbanks, the de- partment said the equipment in cludes:
 A light, portable shelter sturdy enough to stand heavy rain, fine snow and hurricane winds.
 A motor oil which won't freeze at temperatures lower than 30 be- low zero.
 Clothing which is warm without being too bulky to permit freedom of movement.
 A tundra and mountain crossing vehicle which can carry personnel and supplies and is sturdy enough to need little maintenance.
 A self-heating can for rations.
 A different kind of tank from those used in temperate zones.
 The current Armored Cavalry Journal quotes Col. Paul V. Kane, who commanded "Frigid" as say ing flatly that tanks are thor oughly impractical in the Arctic ''
 Critics of such armor say tanks quickly bog down in the soft Aleu- tian tundra, the rough Alaska ter rain immobilizes them, the lubri- cants freeze, and 60 degrees below zero seems to be the breaking point for their crews.
 The Journal account said Kane estimated a man loses his effiCicn- cy at the rate of 2 per cent for ev- cry degree under zero. One officer spent six hours in a tank at sub

WASHINGTON, lP)- Director Robert C. Goodwin said today it would be impossible" for the United States Unemplo y m n t Service to "carry out its respOngi- bilities" in the next fiscal year be- cause of appropriation cuts voted by the House.

Negro Extension
Work Expanding

Mississippi is sharing in the ia
per cent increase in funds allot-
ed agricultural extension work
among negr ofarmers in southern
state according to figures releas-
ed from the Department of Agri-
culture. The increas dates from
1912 when S1,036,66S. was given
$2,21S,209.46 has been allotted to
negro extension work this year
for this cause.
Five years ago Mississippi had
S117054 and II negro extension
workers. This year the state gets
S226,069 and has 107 negro ex-
tension workers.
In appointment of new workers
North Carolina leads, Georgia is
second and Mississippi with SO
new agents is third. In total num-
Der of workers, however, MiSSiSS-
ippi comes first. These negro a.
gents are supervisors for 100000
negro farmers. In allotment of
funds Mississippi ranks fourth
North Carolina leading the SOU
thern states with Texas and Ala
bama running second and third.
Although the work has advan-
cedrapidly in the last five years,
it is pointed out that there are
still no colored agents in some
counties and that assistant agents
are badly needed in other coun-
ties to assist in the large care
load. Plans are underway for fur

Negro Identity
Nations No. |
Communist

Washington, D. C.. Feb. (NNPA)
i Gerhard Eisler, whom ]. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation described
as the chief liaison between the
international Communist organiza
ton In Russia and the Communist
| party in the United States, was
identified last Thursday by Will
liam o. NOVEL;, colored man of
Detroit.
Sworn as witness before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee after Eisler refused to
testify and was cted for contempt
NOVEL; told the committe that
Eisler was for years an agent of
the Communist International.
NOVEL;, described as a former
Communist party member, said he
had been born in Georgia but
had been in Detroit since 1922.
Committee Counsel Robert A.
Stripping said he would endeavor
to sho wthrough NOVEL; that
Eisler had used on trips between
the United States and Russia the
names of Samuel Lipsen and Leon
Josephson, who had been sub
penaed as witnesses but sent tele-
grams saying they would appear
at a later date.
NOVEL; said he oined the Com
munist party in 1929 and made
trips to Russia in that year and
| again in 1881. He quit the party
in 1886.
While in Russia, he said, he
was among 200 students from
| eighteen countries who were tau
ght how to build barricades,
wreck trains and disrupt essential
facilities such as power, trans
portation, water supplies and
food, in case of revolution. He
said this included taking Ovr arm
cries where any arms might be
stored.
At the time, Newell said, he
was student at the Information
al Lenin School. He described this
as the schoo4~o the Comintern.
His curriculum. also included
MARKHAM economies, party organi-
CATION, sabatoge, espionage, code
and transmission of messages.
The American Communist party
paid his travelling expenses, he
said, and the Soviet government
paid Inn a small salary and gave
him his room and board while
he was there.
He testified that he met Eisler
in Moscow where he was known
as Gerhart and was identified as
representative of the German
Communist party.
'After ] came back to Detroit,
Eisler visited me in 1888 when l
was district secretary of the party
and chairman Of the propaganda
/ committee" NOVEL; testified.
Gle is the same man who was
! in the committee room this morn
! ing and refused to take the oath.
He was known to me as the chief
Comintern representative. But he
disappeared in 1894 and we were
told that he had died"
Stripping showed him picture
on a passport issued to Samuel
Lipsen on August 81, 1884. NOVEL;
identified the picture as that OF
Eisler. Stripping showed him an
/ other passport issued to Leon
Josephson and again NOVEL; iden-
| titled the picture as that OF Eisler.
