By UMITED PRESS Survivors of the first Russian . ship known to have been sunk by ‘an axis submarine in the western Atlantic area said today that two of ite four women crew members were lost. The navy’s announcement that the Soviet ship had been sunk brought to at least 420 the unofficial total of axis shipping victims in the western Atlantic area. Nine persons, including the wom-

merchantman which was hit by four torpedoes in the Gulf of Mexico several weeks ago. Thirty-six curviors were landed at an east coast port.

Carried 2 Periscopes

Anna Varotnirova, 22, the ships’ doctor, and Nina Savina, a stewardess, were not injured. The missing women, believed killed in the torpedo explosion, were Stewardess Jenya Llubtchenke and Dishwasher Liza Daniluk. Chief Seaman Alex Salus, 38, of Batum, Russia, said the attacking submarine carried two periscopes.

Dutch Survivors Landed

The Russians were rescued by a Swedish ship and later transferred to an American naval vessel which took them to a South American port from where they were flown to

‘ the United States.

Thirty-one survivors of the small Dutch merchantman Flora, whose sinking was announced previously by the Colombian government, were landed at the east coast port.

blackened German baby tank. Some 30 yards from it, the heads and shoulders of men rose in succession from foxholes, in turn. When an arm was lifted we saw a hand gripping a bottle amidships. Then a swift, hard pitch and a sharp splintering of glass which was immediately drowned in another roar of flames. Even at 30 yards these boys were good shots. They -hit a tank every time—and they never grew up throwing baseballs, either. Everywhere we found bronzed young men, built like athletes and hard as nails, working out their war lessons with extreme intensity. Some were drilling, some dismantling machine guns, some studying captured German weapons and, on the football field, the most realistic ayonet duels I have ever seen were

STATE GUARD UNIT HERE WINS PRAISE

Efficiency of an Indianapolis company of Indiana state guard has been cited by the war department. Adj. Gen. Elmer PF.

Two of thie other units are at Muncie, onie is at New Castle and another is at Shelbyville.

FRANK E. KAVENEY HELPS RED CROSS

Frank E. Kaveney, 3605 Balsam ave., has been appointed as an assistant Red Cross field director with headquarters at Ft.

Mr. Kaveney recently completed a special training course at the national headquarters in Washington.

rated for exceptional merit. . It is surprising to observe how young these embryo lieutenants are. Although* the Russian army has been fighting more than 13 months and have sustained casualties exceeding 4,500,000, all this new blood for the Soviet's officers’ cadres ranges from 20 to 23 years of age. Some of them have already fought as privates and non-coms in the war but the majority are drawn from civilian occupations. They are required to have completed eighth grade schooling and many have had much more. They've Got to Be Tough They have got to be as fit as the toughest ‘drilled American footbali squads to stand the pace here. You see that the way they are driven at their work. The commander of the camp is Col. Simeon Mladentsev ,and he wears four medals,. including the gold star and the Order of Lenin. “Where did you get it?” we asked him. “Fighting,” said the colonel with

grin. : Well, in fact, he got it because he led the first Russian infantry regiment which broke through the Mannerheim line, just east of Summa, on the Karelian isthmus. Mladentsev, the colonel’s name, means “baby,” in Russian. He is a big, 220-pounder, this “Col. Baby.” Col. Baby tells me his cadets get up at 5 o'clock every morning. After breakfast they have six straight hours of field exercises and classes, six more hours in the afternoon, two hours of study after supper and they turn in at 10 o'clock at night. That means at least 14 hours of high-pressure work every day. They have to do it because now instead of one year’s training for the better-educated men and a two.year course forthe lesser-schooled cadets, they all have to qualify in six months.

INDIA MAY BI

Avoid Such Calamity by Granting Liberty.

BOMBAY, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—Mohandas. K. Gandhi, leader of millions of Hindu nationalists, warned today that India might “welcome” Japanese invaders unless the British freed India at once. Other leaders of Gandhi’s AllIndia Congress party promised that the disobedience campaign which the party is to approve officially Friday, would be a “fight to the finish” for immediate independence. “If India isn’t freed now, the hidden discontent will burst forth into a welcome to the Japanese should the latter land in India,” Gandhi wrote ‘in his newspaper. “We can avoid such a calamity if we are free” ; Fight ‘Until the Last’ ' He said that a “chorus of indignation from British and America” would not deter the congress plans and added that the “hysterical outbursts in: those countries would never “extinguish the right to revolt once it lighted.” “The justice of our demands for an end to British power never has been question ,’- Gandhi ‘ said. “The moment chosen for its enforcement is the target for attack. “The reason is clear. India is not playing an effective part in the war. Some of us are ashamed that is so. If we were a free people some of

decisive part in the war.” Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, All-

British government to the last.

‘Hates Dominion Status”

“I hope good comes from this struggle,” he said, “but if we perish, on our ashes will be laid the foundation of freedom. : “I hate dominion status. I do not want India to occupy the same status as Costa Rica, Bulgaria, Rumania, Australia and Canada. India’s status is bound to be much higher than these countries.” ‘ Gandhi in a review of his party’s stand said Britain must “hand over control without reservation except that allied troops may operat® to stem axis attack but with no interference in affairs of India which would be as free as Britain's.” The support of a free India to the sliisa cause would be “limitless,” he said.

Yank Fliers Join Parachute Club

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—Seventeen pilots of a famous American pursuit group which has downed 51 Japanese planes with a loss of only four pilots, have formed a chapter of the Caterpillar club. The first, member was Lieut. Clarence Sanford of Auburn, N.Y., who bailed out over the water while returning from a combat flight and swam three miles through shark-filled waters before rescue by natives. . Another is Lieut. Stephen An drew of Dallas, Tex., whose para= chute opened so suddenly his fly-

_ ing boots were wrenched off. He

walked for miles over flinty ground in his stocking feet. : Lieut. Keith Brown of Pitisburgh made the highest jump— from 18,000 feet: Maj. Robert D. Van Auken’s 8000 - footer is the lowest thus far. Maj. Van Auken is from Saxis, Va. Most thrilling leap was credited to Lieut. Perre Alword of Iowa who fell 10,000 feet before his chute opened. i
