Democrats Believe Victory In Fall Depends on x Organization.

The building of strong precinct organizations as a prime prerequisite to winning the fall campaign was , stressed by Democratic party leaders meeting here today to map plans for the coming general election, These leaders expect the. vote to to-be: light this fall and they believe that the party with the best precinct organizations will win.

Party leaders expect to base their fall campaign on the isolationistinterventionist issue, charging the Republican party and the eight incumbent G.-O. P. congressmen with being isolationist. Along with the: isolationist charge against the Republicans, they intend to ask .the voters to support the president by electing Democratic congressmen and the governor by electing a Democratic legislature, Mr. Bays said.

GUERRILLAS RIP OFF NAZI YOKE

Soviet Patriots Free Many Occupied Areas Back

~ Of German - Lines.

By PYOTR ROMASHKIN Official Soviet War Correspondent MOSCOW, July 22. — Soviet guerrillas operating behind the German front line in Russia have freed ntire areas from the Nazi yoke and restored normal life, even to the extent of reinstating local Russian government, Hospitals, schools and libraries have been reopened in many communities surrounded by German, troops. Newspapers are publishing again and on the farms in the liberated areas the spring crop has been sowed and the farmers are preparing for the harvest.

Fight Against Own Weapons

The Russo-German front no longer is a straight line tens of thousands of kilometers in length, but now is a great band of hundreds of kilometers in depth. These guerrilla controlled areas are such a threat to the Nazis that the German high command has abandoned the highly costly practice of sending punitive expeditions

sorted to full-blown warfare in an effort to clear the rear of the hecks lers. The German high command is sending its soldiers against their own weapons. There are numbers of guerrilla detachments that armed and equipped at the expense of the enemy.

Inflict Heavy Damage

Here are a few figures showing what damage, what losses the guerrillas have inflicted-on the enemy: In one of the western regions of the Soviet Union alone in the past seven months the guerrillas have annihilated 14,000 German soldiers,

“The children were enthusiastic over the idea of a playground,”

Mrs. Petersen said, “and they vol-
