Oil That Feeds Russian War Machine
Two Russian workers (left) stand on a hill at Baku, U.S.S.R., and look over a vast panorama of oil fields

wished-for goal. Picture at the right shows an oil-cracking plant in Baku.

Fish Story?
Maybe he isn’t telling his stooge,
Colonel Engel, about the big one

whatever Adolf is recounting here is
just as fishy as the tallest tales. The

front, where the Russian army has
been engaged in hacking highways

AMERICAN RED CROSS
'T'O THOUSANDS of Americans
*■ seeking news of their families
and friends in war-torn countries,
25 words on an official Hed Cross
form have meant all the difference
between hope and despair.
Ever since the outbreak of the
war, the American Red Cross has
been for many people the only me
dium through which they could get
news of their relatives in Poland,
Holland, Belgium and the other oc
cupied nations. Even when the
news has been bad, even when it
has been the worst possible, it has
at least meant merciful release
from torturing anxiety and uncer
tainty.
For a while it was possible
in a few cases to maintain
contact by letter over long
roundabout routes. Since
America’s entry into the war,
all remaining avenues of com
munication have been closed.
Today, under the rules of the
United States Office of Censor
ship, personal messages to
residents of enemy or enemy
occupied territory may be for
warded ONLY through the Red
Cross inquiry service here and
the International Red Cross
committee in Geneva, Switzer
land.
Regulations governing the sena
ing of one of these messages from
the United States are that the com
munication, which should be filled
in at a local Red Cross chapter,
must not be more than 25 words,
and should be in English. If it is
written in a foreign language, an
English translation must be at
tached.
The United States Office of
Censorship rules that no men
tion may be made of politics
or military subjects, defense
materials, shipping or weather
conditions, business matters
or geographic names.
But even the strict regulations
cannot rob the brief message on
the International Red Cross form
of its human warmth and drama.
The original message, made out in
some local Red Cross chapter
here, goes on its long and slow
journey across ocean and conti
nents. Space is provided on it
for a reply message, to be re
turned to the original sender.
