tion won through.

In some places, the schools became living quarters, One hospital became a parachute factory and airdrome hangars became

aircraft plants.

Heavy steel mills were ved eastward, piece by piece, and set up

within 45 days. If life at the Boviet front was hard and dangerous,

life at the Soviet rear was hard

and grim.

The Americans could not help but

be struck by the vast peacetime pro-

duction potential which has been created. With negligible exceptions,

industry which has moved to the rear will remain there while pro-

duction on the original western sites

Is resumed. This will double Russian production of many lines and have the effect of another five year plan in building up the resources of the Urals, Siberia and Central Asia. Here in Samarkand, whose 14th gentury artisans hammered gold, silver and steel into sword and armor for the warriors of Tamerlane the conqueror, descendants of those workmen today are laboring over ruddy forges to make parts for tanks and tractors. Samarkand's production is only & drop in the flood of tanks, artillery, guns, shells, planes and food which . is pouring from the Urals, from Siberia and from Central Asia to the Russian front. But the mobilization of these artisans is typical of what is undoubtedly the most total mobilization the world has ever seen.

Travel by Plane

During the last two weeks, we have traveled by airplane, train and automobile over this previouslyguarded area. Everywhere the story was the same, whether in the gigantic blast furnaces of ‘Magnitogorsk, the bustling aircraft factories, the lush, subtropical acres of Kazakstan or the primitive smithys of ancient ‘Samarkand—an all-out war effort. But already the managers of Russia's agricultural and industrial enterprises are turning thoughts toward peace. The manager of the Sverdlovsk artillery plant wanted suggestions from Johnston for ‘civilfan by-products which could be manufactured from the scrap of gun production. Uzbekistan officials were anxious to get American turbines in order to resume soil reclamation projects. The high tide of civilian migration eastward long since has passed. Millions who found refuge from the Germans and an opportunity to resume war production beyond the Urals now have crossed back to their liberated homes. Sverdlovsk, which doubled its pre-war population of 500,000, now has a population of 750,000; Novosibirsk swelled from 450,000 to more than 800,000 and now is down to 700,000.

‘Huge Installations

The morale and energy of Soviet homefront matches that of the army. You see that in the youngsters who swarm over a Douglas-licensed DC-3 in a plane plant or in the women and girls trudging out to work four or five hours in potato fields after a long, hot day over drop forges and giant . presses, Only by inspecting huge installations like the 24-square-mile integrated steel operation at Magnitogorsk can one realize how much Russia's victory over the Germans is due to the vision of leaders who utilized both five-year plans to construct new industrial bases in the Urals and Siberia. From these plants, so far behind the lines that there never was a blackout for German bombers even at the Nazi high tide, war implements have flowed ceaselessly. The loss of the Don basin and rich industrial ‘areas near Leningrad and elsewhere in western Russia must have created a terrific stain.

Ample Evidence The trip afforded ample evidence

understanding, We were given every possible courtesy and questions were answered freely. Johnston was received with the warmest regard and he emphasized repeatedly the necessity of the Soviet Union and the United States knowing and sunderstanding each other to the fullest if post-war collaboration is to be successful. His views were reciprocated by Russians from plant managers to ordinary citizens. , Johnston and the correspondents were afforded the most extensive view of the Soviet Union givén foreigners since the start of the war, even exceeding in scope the tours given Wendell Willkie and

correspondents on the trip was seen as a token by Marshal Stalin's conception of the role played by the press in Soviet-American understanding. It was Johnston who suggested including the press and the premier immediately agreed.

Faced by ever -mounting demands by the armed forces overseas and by service branches in this country, cigaret manufacturers have already dipped heavily into their leaf reserves and are using. cigaret leaf much faster than it is being replaced by growers.

Crop Prospects Bright

The outlook for future civilian supply of cigarets hinges largely on this year's tobacco crop, which looked gloomy during the rainy spring season but has shown such a great improvement since June that growers’ expectations are high,

LT. COL. GEORGE HALLADAY, who ordered his battalion to fire the first shots from Sicily into Italy last summer, has been awarded the: legion of merit for his work as an artillery officer from Nov. 17, 1942, to March 5, 1944.

“The cigaret machines are empty all the time,” local dealers said, “while before rationing they only had to be filled once a week. People take from five to six packs at a time at the machines since they can't get them over the drug or grocery store counter.” Although complaints have been heard in some states that cigarets and cigars taste stale because of foil shortages, Edward Harris of Hamilton-Harris & Co., said “they can't get stale here because they go | too fast.” The 6-cent cigar is nearly out of existence and about al] that are left are those that sell for 11 cents, 15 cents or two for 25 cents and up. Retailers seldom sell cigarets by the carton now and cigars by the box cannot be found at any counter. The maximum purchase allowed is from one to four packs of cigarets and from two to five cigars.

70,000,000,000 a Year

The military inroads into the cigaret supply are indicated by. trade press estimates which place 1944 shipments to servicemen at around 70,000,000,000 cigarets, plus large quantities of cigars, smoking and chewing tobacco. It is estimated that 50,000,000 cigars are going overseas monthly while 30,000,000 are required for the service branches in this ‘country. These estimates indicate that servicemen overseas require ‘more than one-third as many cigarets in a year as the whole population consumed in 1940. Proof that civilians as well as servicemen smoke more in war-time is shown by comparison of the 180,663,000,000 cigarets withdrawn for consumption in 1940 with the 257,737,000,000 withdrawn in 1943, exclusive of amounts for the armed forces oversea.
