Battlefield City of Kalinin
Rebuilds From Devastation
Only 70 Miles From Front
By HENRY C. CASSIDY
KALININ, Russia -i&h The city of Kalinin, which was a
battlefield during two months of bitter winter fighting, is a
scene of devastation equal to anything in France during the last
war. although the front today Is some 70 miles to the west.
Kalinin, northwest of Moscow,
is more preoccupied with healing
wounds of the winter struggle
than in watching new engage
ments in the west, centered
around a deep spearhead thrust
into the German positions and
threatening their communications.
Confident the Germans will
never come arain, the munici
pal government, headed by a
woman major, Varyara Mik
hailovna Gorbunova, already is
carrying- out plans for restora
tion. People are pouring back over
muddy roads and flooded low
lands to their ruined homes. The
population which was 225,000 be
fore the war dropped to 15,000
during the German occupation
and now has risen to 170,000
since the nazis were driven out
December 12. The retreating Ger
mans burned virtually all that
was not wrecked by bombs and
The mayor is a vigorous, 44-year-old
former textile worker.
She wears a mannish blue suit
and has close cut blond hair.
When she returned to the city
she found only 1630 dwellings of
the original 11,033 intact
"The city was dead," she
said. "There was no water,
street cars or utilities of any
kind. Now 25 miles of the origi
nal SO miles of water lines and
sewage system are restored.
Two hospitals have been re
paired and 15 schools are open
three shifts a day."
A preliminary allotment of
5,700,000 rubles was made for
restoration of homes. The mayor
estimated the eventual cost of re
building Kalinin at 177,000,000
rubles.
The mayor estimated 95 per
cent of Kalinin's textile indus
try had been destroyed by the
Germans. She took me to see the
Vokzhanov textile plant where
7000 persons once worked. It is
in ruins.
The giant Preletarka plant
which employed 40,000 workers
is largely a mass of brick rub
ble, twisted machinery and
charred walls open to the skies.
On the rroond floor of one
wing, however, we found a few
women patiently operating
shuttles while the rain leaked
through the ceiling.
Just outside the city -we saw
the main battlefield dominated
by ruins of a schoolhouse where
the red army finally halted the
Germans before driving them
back in a struggle between Octo
ber 14 and December 16. Atop the
school was a hooded figure. The
mayor said he was a lookout to
see that the Germans never come
back.

Senate Group
Demands Farm
Prices Floor
WASHINGTON, June
Spurred to action by recent de
clines in market prices for some
major farm crops, the senate ag
riculture committee Thursday de
manded that the government put
floor under prices of basic ag
ricultural commodities at levels
well above the present average.
After a brief closed door ses
sion, the senate group approved
a bill by Senators Bankhead CD
Ala) and Russell (D-Ga) that
would require a full parity loan
on this year's cotton, corn, wheat,
rice, tobacco and peanut crops.
On the basis of latest agricul
ture department calculations of
parity prices, this would mean a
farmer could store his wheat, for
Instance, and get a government
loan of $1.34 a bushel on it,
whereas the average market price
to farmers in mid-May was re
ported by the department at 99.8
cents.
Department figures for other
crops list parity for com at 97.6
cents a bushel with a market price
of 81.4; cotton, parity 18.85 cents
pound and market, 19.17. No
figures were available Thursday
night on rice and this is not the
marketing season for tobacco and
peanuts.
(Parity is a price calculated to
give a farm product the same pur
chasing power, in terms of other
commodities, that it had in a
base period, usually 1909-14. Con
sequently, it fluctuates with the
rise and fall of other prices.)

Lana's Kisses
Sell Bonds
In Portland
PORTLAND, Ore., June U-(JP)
Lana Turner's kisses paid off
Thursday and Portlanders paid
out $379,000 in war bond pledges.
Some 30,000 persons thronged
the downtown victory center to
set a new Pacific coast record for
a single day's bond sales and
see the blonde film star bestow a
kiss on the top purchaser.
But when pledges began com
ing in five figures, Miss Turner's
enthusiasm mounted and so did
the frequency of her kisses. An
even dozen times she gave them
not on the cheek, either but
the only man who got two bought
only $5000 worth of bonds. He was
handsome 21-year-old Frederick
Freed, who reports to the navy
next month.
Several unions, organizations
and Individuals took $10,000 or
more in bonds, three $50,000
each. gjj
Bond sales officials reported
that San Francisco sales were
only $80,000 when Miss Turner
appeared earlier this week and
that Seattle's biggest day netted
$155,000.
