This past summer HI. 0. Ekern, Pol
son, made an extended trip through
the Soviet Union. While he was in the
U.S.S.R. he sent two articles covering
impressions he gained. Since return
ing to this country, the former Sand
ers county legislator has had time to
prepare some follow-ups. Herewith
is. the third article by Mr.. Ekern.
Others will follow in various issues
of Forthcoming VOICE's.-EDITO
In 1921 attended the American
Legion convention in Paris, and be-
fore going to Paris / made side trip
through northern Europe While in
Brussels I went out to Waterloo,
where Napoleon met his defeat.
I have always been interested in
events that make history. In my high
school days / read 4'The Is Decisive
Battles of the World by Greasy.
There has been no decisive battle
fought since Waterloo until the battle
for Stalingrad.
Climbing up to the top of that
earthen monument, built at Waterloo
to commemorate the Prince of Orange
who fought on Welhngton's side, the
guide pointed out the farm house
where Napoleon lost his entire cav
airy.
There was nothing decisive about
World War I. England ruled the
Seven Seas since the defeat of the
Spanish Armada in 1888. England
could Justly claim that the sun never
oct on the British Empire. Without
u. S. help the map of Europe might
have been different. BY 1889 Ger
many had been able to regroup her
forces for second try. Again Ger
many failed because the industrial
might of U.S.A. was again on Eng
lands side.
In 1917 new social force was born
in Russia and when Hitler's prize
armies marched on Stalingrad it was
a test whether that new force we call
socialism could live or die. 1t stood
the test and Stalingrad could well
be called the 10th decisive battle of
LIE WOTlu.
We spent two days in Stalingrad.
Of our group was always the first
one to be on the streets in the morn

They correspond to our
own shrines, like George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jeffer-
son in our own Capitol. Stalingrad
is held out as symbol of patriotism
to- the young folks of Russia and i
people are travelling thousands of
miles to get glimpse of this historic
city.

State MuySpend
To Save Money
On Heating

The Board of Examiners heard Tim
Sullivan of Butte Brass explain his
proposal to modernize the valve sys-
tenn on the Capitol boiler plant. 1t
will cost the state no money$$$. There
will be a saving of $1,000 a year on
the $4,000 fuel bill. The marvellous
Butte Brass valves will shut off the
steam system when the outside tenn
perature reaches 65 degrees. The
comfort of we'll regulated heating
system will enable the state employees
to concentrate on their business in
stead of annoying one another by
opening and closing windows.
Butte Brass will be paid off out
of the savings within % months. To
establish the normal temperature an
average of the past 35 years was
determined. For example last years
was five per cent colder than the
average. By using these charts and
the price of natural gas rates the
savings to the state were determined.
The Examiners were unable to ac-
cept the proposal at this meeting be-
cause Attorney General Forrest An
derson was making an appearance at
the Supreme Court.
Other actions included the rejection
of the advertisements for the reroof-
ing of the Arts and Crafts Building
at ,MSU in Missoula because there
were no bidders. Two local bids will
be solicited for the next meeting.
A change order upping the price
of the new Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission building in Helena
was okayed. An underground tele-
phone connection costs $1,035.-FS

High school graduates who
so far haven't been accepted
at a Washington area college
are just about out Of luck fol
this year.
Almost without exception
colleges and junior colleges in
and around the District say
they've already accepted about
as many students as their
plants can handle. Included
are some Of those which won't
begin classes for at least q
week.
We've reached our absolute
capacity" officials at Montgom-
cry Junior College, Takoma
Park, said. I'VE couldn't take
any more if they begged us"
The story is much the same
throughout the area.
More Than $4,000
In the next two weeks, when
the last young collegian ap-
pears in his first classroom
the Washington area will have
a total college and junior col
lege enrolment Of slightly over
81, ,000-a figure exceeded only
in the postwar years when To-
cal institutions were swamped
by newly discharged service
men.
Generally, registrars expect
and are experiencing-an
to 10 per cent increase over
last years enrollmentS. The
percentage probably will &c
higher in Feruary, they say
when a number of students
arrive in the area from other
colleges.
Greeting this years crop on
many area campuseS when
classes get underway will be
elaborate new buildings and a
number Of courses never be-
fore offered here.
Howard University, for ex-
ample, will open its new $3.S
million Fine Arts Building. II
also will offer for the first time
a course in nuclear engineering
to be taught in its School o1
Engineering and Architecture
New Courses
At the University Of Mary
land, where a new Business and
Public Administration building
will receive its first classes, q
graduate course in social work
will be offered for the first time
Also for the first time. George
Washington University's Art
Department will offer a course
in archaeology.
Surprisingly many area col
legeS say they cannot accept
more students because they de
not have enough dormitory IA
cilities.
1T isn't classrooms we're
short Of" a spokesman fol-
Georgetown University said
"it's living quarters for our out.

Four colleges already have
held their first classes. They
are:
