Ivan the Terrible Neglects Leak in Gas Line

WITH THE SOVIET ARMY ON THE RZHEV FRONT-—It’s all very well to scratch a Russian and find a Tartar, but who’s going to be so rash as to scratch a Tartar? Ivan the Terrible, who must be about as

cantankerous and provocative a].

Tartar as ever lived, seemed to operate on this assumption. So, of course, during all the time

we remained at Gen. Dmitri Leliushenko’s headquarters, Ivan neglected to patch up thegasoline feed line in our car. And that’s how we dropped in so unexpectedly, about 10 o'clock that night, upon Mama Ikaterina Roubtsova and her two daughters.

Engine Coughed

When the car’s engine coughed into supreme silence we were in one of those small front-zone villages. Maj. Arapov went to the first log cabin in sight and immediately summoned us inside. A smiling, blond, young woman of about 28 stood at the door. When we stepped into the cabin’s main room, Mama Roubtsova lay curled

up in an iron-poster bed. Two soldiers were also in the room and another plain-faced young woman wearing a gray sweater and a blue beret. She was Mama Roubtsova’s

| daughter, Antonina, and the blond

woman, we learned, was Galina, Mama's daughter-in-law, from Ger-mahn-occupied Smolensk. Antonina and Galina started heating the samovar for tea and collected all the chairs in the hofise so Ilya Ehrenburg, Maj. Arapov, the two soldiers and myself could sit down. “They didnt bomb today,” said Mama Roubtsova from her corner bed. “Probably because it’s Sunday. ”» Then she cackled gaily at the idea that the Germans would think of sparing people on Sunday. Antonina told us about the Germans when they took this village.

Described Invasion

“The Germans came in October and stayed until Dec. 31,” Antonina said. “They took all the chickens,

pigs and cows, and they searched every house and took everything they wanted. Look. You see, we've no furniture left. “They shot my father. They killed many people in this village and everywhere in this district.” But Galina interrupted passionately: “When I came with those who came back in January, everybody here met us, sobbing, with tears running down their faces. Almost everyone had had some member of the family killed by Germans and almost everything they owned had been smashed or - stolen, It was terrible. Mama and Antonina were here all the time.” I asked. how many civilians the Germans had killed in this neighborhood. “In this district, they killed 128 people,” Antonina said. “Eighteen of these were hanged. One man, by the name of Tichkin, they hanged six times. Each time they cut him down before he was dead —then they hanged him again. “And there was one girl who was a partisan. She kept shouting, ‘long live Russia.” They cut off her tongue before they shot her.”

Civilian Organization Aids Navy in Getting Manpower

To assist the navy in the procurement of officers, the directors of the! ninth naval ‘district, Chicago, have established a civilian organization here. ‘

Known as the Indianapolis Advisory committee to naval officer procurement, the organization is headed by Nicholas H. Noyes, vice president and treasurer of Eli Lilly & Co. The duties of the committee will be to interview applicants for commissions, investigate their background and recommend for appoint-

| ment.

Going int6 immediate operation, the committee maintains headquarters at 120 W. North st. which will be open Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p. m. The phone number is RI ley 5566. According to Lieut. Comm. T. F. White Jr., assistant to the director of naval officer procurement, Chicago, these civilian committees, of which there are 14 in his district, save the navy millions of dollars a year in any area. Committee members give their services and pay all expenses such as light, heat, rent and phone calls.

WHAT CIGARETTE

At the present .time the navy is seeking officer material from all types of specialists. They are pare ticularly interested in electrical, mechanical and civil engineers, accountants, men with construction experience and chaplains, The navy no longer requires -college degrees for these commissions but are still interested in college graduates for officers training who have not reached their 28th birthday. Mr. Noyes was appointed by Capt. Edmund Spence Root, director of naval officer procurement, ninth naval district. He also approved the committee chosen by Mr. Noyes.

‘With But Little Deference

Copyriznl; 1942, by The Indialiapons Times d The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, Nov. 5—The Japanese on Java are treating the Dutch Nazis with considerable less deference than might be expected under the terms of the inter-axis political agreements. Among the first- Jap acts upon capturing Indonesia was the release from internment camps like that at Serangan, in central Java mountains, of Dutch Nazis, members of the fifth columnist “national social=ist bewaking,” who had been rounded up when the’ Germans invaded Holland. The Japs at first released the fifth columnists, expecting to find enough allies to administer the puppet regime. Some Dutch Nazis, however, had experienced a change of heart, and while pro-German,

who insists the barefoot army was no idea of his own. “It just happened,” he said. “One evening a couple of months ago a couple of the kids were playing soldier and I started playing with them. They liked it.” ‘Seven youngsters showed up the next evening, and by the third evening there were 13 or 14. “So I had my army,” grinned. The parents liked the idea and suggested that some ‘‘weapons” should be provided. So some of the fathers and some of the men in Coron’s outfit fashioned wooden rifles, Coron taught his charges the manual of arms. He taught them close order drill. And he continually stressed military courtesy. The army drills every evening now after Coron is through with his regular duties. Moreover, they drill like veterans.
