Soesn't believe in the
tactics of battle taught
schools of war. For—
— modern warfare has
; fo do with classic meth-
for that matter — war
§||jfey,was'' fought even 25 years
;For Konev learned hU meth-
ods to a Cruel school when
Russian revolutionary armies —
outnumbered and out-equipped
""" "it'ted their courage" and dar-
Innards
ing against the superior forces
of the Czar.
Then the use of guerillas, and
the theory of encircle and anni-
hilate became the older of the
day. These two theories—knowft
as Stalin's methods — have hur-
led back a dazed German high
command, schooled in the un-
breakable traditions of Prussian
warfare.
Now, General Konev's First
Ukrainian Army is smashing
through south-central Poland to-
ward the ancient city of Cracow
in a drive that — according to
Berlin—is to show, that the Red
army intends to "win the war."
Once, Marshal Zhukov said of
Konev: "Let him play his own
game under his own rules, and
no German will ever get the
better of him." It is "his own
game"—"under his own rules"
that lias won him a reputation
as one of Marshal Stalin's great-
est generals.
Among his men, Konev is
known as the general who nev-
er has retreated.
According to many military
observers — Konev can be cred-
ited with saving Moscow, help-
ing to save Stalingrad, and for
crashing German defenses in
Southeastern Europe.

Brownell Gets
GOP Green Liqht
INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The
Republicans are all set to cam-
paign on a full-time basis—rath-
er than just the few months
around election time.
GOP National Chairman Her-
bert. Brownell, Jr., has been giv-
en virtually unlimited authority
by the national commit fee to di-
rect Republican national cam-
paign activities for four more
years.
Brownell was granted his new
authority after outlining some
GOP principles before the nat-
ional committee conference in
Indianapolis. His views, submit-
ted during a closed meeting,
were made public after he had
won endorsement of his organi-
zational plans.
Three principles were listed
by Brownell for the Republican
party to follow.
First, a representative, con-
stitutional for pi of government.
Second, a creative and produc-
tive free enterprise economy.
And third, a government dedi-
cated to the efficient assumption
of its social, humanitarian and
economic rcsponsibilties.
Brownell offered these princi-
ples as a party creed, along w ith !
the declaration that the OOP's i
party policy must be — and j
1 l ose are his words "Whatever 1
i. I.est for the United States is!
good politics for the Republican j
party."

Burning Glider
At Bastogne
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UP)
— Douglas Aircraft officials re-
lease the story of a daring Texas
glider pilot who kept miracul-
ously on his course.
Glider Pilot J. D. Hill of Abi-
lene landed with supplies for
besieged American forces at Bap- ■
togne — after his pilotless Dou-
glas C-47 tow plane burst into
flame and was abandoned by its
crew.
It was during the flights of
the C--17's hauling supplies to
troops which stopped the Ger-
mans from crashing through in-
to Belgium. Captain Thomas
C'orrigan of Kansas City says he
saw the plane burst into flame
after being hit by flak. He said
"the crew bailed out, but the
plane apparently was set on
automatic pilot and continued
like a flaming arrow straiglu
ahead—pulling the glider as if
| nothing had happened."

Can Be
stocky and severe. His sharp
eyes are beady in a chiselled,
strongly-grim face. A man made
for war, he has an intensity of
purpose found in few men. One
chserver called him "hard-iac-
ed," with a "head as bare as a
billiard bail."
But to others, this intensity
reflects a desire for revenge,
rather than a hardened charact-
er. For l oth KoiVi .s mother
and sister were killed in the e:ir-
1\ day.) of the Nazi drive into
Russia.
On the battlefield. Konev is
quick-thinking, dynamic — pow-
erful. Often he is seen in the
front lines fighting alongside
his men. On those occasions, he
wears a plain officers' cloak and
hat so that he will not embar-
rass his troops.
He once summed up his stra-
tegy to his officers in these
words:
"Make up your mind what the
enemy expects you to do—and
then do the opposite." ~~
• Ivan Sepanovitch Konev was
born of peasant parents iri 1897
in a little village near Archangel.
As a boy, We went to the vil-
lage school and, in his spare
time, helped his father work the
family farm. When in; was on-
ly 1.2 years old. he left home to
become a lumberjack. When he-
was 1G. he went to Archangel to
work as an unskilled laborer in
a lumber yard. Later, he was
drafted to serve in the army of
the Czar. But when revolution
broke out. he joined the Bolshe-
vist forces to fight against the
Csar's troops.
When world war II started,
Konev was comparatively obs-
cure — particularly outside . of
Rii.- : !■•'. Since then, his exploits
have been I anions. It was Kon-
t\r/icii w ho launched tile first
counter-offensive of the war
and proved that the German ar-
my was not invincible. That was
at Sm< l'.'nsk. Konev won his ad-
vantage by regr aiping forces
during the night and using guer-
illa troops to throw the puzzled
German armies off balance.
That offensive at Smolensk
delayed the German drive to-
ward Moscow. Stlil other obser-
vers say Konev played an im-
portant roie in the battle for
Stalingrad, because — a- they
put it—Konev pinned down 30
German divisions that could
gone to the aid of the German
Sixth army pounding Stalingrad.
Then, in February of l!)-ll,
Hitler ordered his generals to
hold Cherkassy at all costs. The
city—to the German dictator—
was the ke> to all Southeastern
Europe Konev not only captur-
ed Cherkassy, but he trapped
|and wiped out the Gorman Uth
j Army in the Cherkassy pocket,
j Later, it was Konev's armies
| who struck into Romania and
i liberated the vital Ploesti- oil
i fields.
I Now. Marshal Ivan Konev's
| First Ukrainian Army is driving
! through south-central Poland in
ja mighty drive toward Cracow,

I ter offensive" in the East.

Chicago—The Young
Giant
I
JEFF MARTIN had been in Clii-
! eago exactly one week when
he received a written invitation,
through the mail, from Caroline
Henderson inviting him to come
to a lttle party on Sunday eve-
ning. She wrote that after din-
ner a number of young people,
friends living in the neighbor-
| hood, were corning :in.
Caroline \yas the wife of
Charles Henderson, whom he had
not seen since the time they were
both young reporters on the Balti-
more Sun many years before.
Jeff's meeting up with him again
in Chicago was pure coincidence.
While strolling about the streets
as a sightseer, he had passed the
Bully Bargain House and noticed
that that establishment offered its
entire stock of men's clothing for
sale at reduced prices. Remem-
bering that he had brought with
him only a few shirts and pieces
of underwear, and needed more
right away, he went, in. The
proprietor turned out to be his
old friend, Henderson.
When Jeff had made up his
mind to accept Caroline's invita-
tion, he sent a messenger boy all
the way out to the Henderson
home with a polite and stilted
acceptance written on hotel pa-
per. He himself was staying (at
the Briggs House downtown un-
til he got settled.
rpHEPiE were six or seven young
men and women at the Sunday
evening party besides a number
of their elders. They ran all over
the house as if they owned it,
calling aloud to one another, in the
highest of youthful spirits. Some
played games, such as lotto, par-
cliesi and checkcrs; others went in
for riddles and tricks that one
plays with words. Jeff was sur-
prised to find himself the un-
• beaten checker champion of the
party.
Mrs. Henderson had a supper
served at 9:30, though she did not
call it supper but a "collation."
It was really a substantial meal,
served in plates which one had
to hold carefully on his knee to
keep from spilling the contents on
the floor.
After the collation the girls
gathered around the organ and
sang the current ballads and such
old stand-bys as "Beulah Land,"
"Old Black .loe" and:
In the Rloamintr, oh my darting,
When the lights are dim and low,
Arid the quiet shadows, falling-,
Softly come and softly go.
The young girls,—with their
heads bent together over the or-
gan, formed a beautiful picture;

1 ^ Charles Henderson went out
on the lawn to see if all the-
chairs had been brought in. He
returned quickly to the sitting
room and beckoned to Jeff Martin
and another man. They won-
dered what was in his mind until
they got outdoors and Henderson
pointed southward. Over that
section of the city—but far down-
town—there stood a fiery glow
that cast shadows of the three
men standing on the Henderson
lawn. "That's a big blaze," said
the heavily bearded man—Mr.
Pollard was his name—who had
come out with .Teif and Charlie,
"and it covers ground, too. Wide
as a dozen sunrises."
"Where do you think it is, Pol-
lard?" Henderson asked, rather
anxiously, or so Jeff thought.
"It's hard to say, but my guess
is that it's 011 the West Side, down
below Harrison Street, among
those lumber yards. It's a good
three miles from here."
"It- may spread across the riv-
er," Henderson said. "But that
river's a pretty big gap for fire
to cross. What d'you think?"
"Listen, Henderson, when a fire
gets to going in a big way there's
no telling on God's earth what
it'll do," Pollard replied, speak-
ing slowly, as if weighing every
word.
Silently the three men on the
lawn watched the spreading glow
in the southern sky. The strains
of "A Girl in Every Port"—a
comical song about a sailor and
his sweethearts—came from the

house, mingled with much laugh-
ter.
"That fire's got bigger Einca
we've been standing here," Jell!
remarked. "It's further over to
the east now. D'you suppose it
has crossed the river?"
"God knows." This came from
Charles Henderson. "The wind
is from the southwest, blowing
straight in this direction." It wasi
indeed a heavy wind that had
whistled around the houses and
blown like a gale in the streets;
all day. j
"Well, gentlemen," Mr. Pollard)
said, "I think I'd better take my'
wife and daughter home. We've(
had a very pleasant evening,j
thanks to you and your charming
better half. No, no, don't bother
to come in with me. I'll say gijod
night right here."
"I think we'd better go in. any-
way," Henderson remarked.
"We'll have to tell the people in
there about the fire. It does look
serious." They were then walk-
ing toward the house.
Henderson stopped .the music
and when he had obtained the
silent attention of everyonp he
told of the fire and the view of
it from the lawn. Immediately
there was a stir. Some of the
guests ran to take a look; others
gathered up their wraps and marie
ready to leave. Caroline Hender-
son asked then not to go home so
early. "The lire." she said, "is so
far away, and we can read about
it in the paper tomorrow morn-
ing." But everybody was intent
on going home. The party had
come to an end. It was then
10:30 in the evening of Oct. 8,
1871.
