5 HOURS BESIDE

TIME-BOMB

Here's the situation-there are 500 gallons of highly in flammable creosote oil in a storage well. Underneath the oil is a 500lb. time bomb. What's to be done about It?

When this state of affairs was discovered the morning after a raid, Bill Mason volunteered to pump out the oil (and incidon- tally risk being blown up or burned).

Everybody else was cleared

from the danger area in the tar works.

Alone, 42-years-old Bill Mason sat in the steam pump house- only 12ft away from the well- and kept the pump going,

Slowly the level of the oil senk In the well.

"It gat on my nerves a bit during the first hour," says Bill.

For three hours he pumped... "I began to kid myself it would never go off."

For five hours he pumped "On the last lap-and I was almost enjoying i!."

This is a result of an order issued by the commanding officer of the division. The order will be strictly applied and officers have been told that in future they must regard the mess as their home.

There has been wide discussion There was now only n foot of whether soldiers should be allowed to sludge in the well, and the pump share billets with their families, par- would.draw no longer.

"I was quite disappointed," says is only the second order made on Bill. "The sludge covered the bomb, the subject. I did want to see it."

And then Bill "packed up" and walked across the deserted yard and reported: "Oil all safe."

Recently a similar order was made by a commanding officer in the Hertfordshire area.

Central Sector

On this central sector, the fate of the entire German campaign may ultimately depend, Even should Leningrad fall, Russia's military and economie position would not be de- cisively affected--the fall of Moscow would be another

matter. It is on the Leningrad front that the Gerraars and Finns are

claiming The Nazi claim... successo Schlusselburg has not been capture of confirmed nor has the Finnish claim to have reached the River Svir. The encirclement of Leningrad as the Nazis claim would be a serious matter for the Russians and for their Baltic Fleet and at the outposts at Hangoc, Ocsel and Dagoe, but the Soviets

have not hesitated in the past to admit unpleasant truths.

Other Side Of Claim

In all probability the encirclement claim represents a partial truth and It is just as likely that if "mobile divisions of the German army have reached and taken the town of reac Schlusselburg" it is the mobile divi- sions of the German army that have been cut.cf from land communica-

tions and not Leningrad.

Shaw Calls

Stalin No. 1 Statesman

George Bernard Shaw rates Stalin first, President Roosevelt second, and "the rest nowhere" among world statesmen.

Shaw says this in a note on the flyleaf of a book lent him by an oficial of the People's Convention, a Socialist organisation In Britain,

"I am aware of the extraordinary military ability and general force of character Stalin displayed when he saved the Revolution in 1918-20.” Shaw's not

note adds.

"Without Stalin, Lenin could never have held Russia against the capitalist world in amis.

"When I met Stalin in 1931 I know that I was face to face with the ablest statesman in Europe."

Declining to address a. meeting of the People's Convention, Shaw stated: "As my 88th birthday has just occurred, 1 no longer try to move assemblies."!
