BOXDAR.EXKO MOSCOW, May 6. (NANA) In the pre-war years there were about 10,000 students in the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute. Eminent Soviet engineers had acquired their knowledge within the walls of this institution located in an enormous pine forest adjoining the city. Indestructible School As I sit and listen to Professor Serdyukov, director of the institute, I hold a shell splinter weighing approximately two pounds in my hand. A twelve-inch Fascist cannon had sent this from the Finnish front.

Bombs and hundreds of splinter from heavy cannon had fallen on the school but could not destroy it, even in the most arduous days of the blockade. It was here that Professor Ko-beko Invented instruments for determining the strength of ice, and these helped Soviet heavy tanks to speed across the frozen Neva river and to break through the blockade to Schluesselburg. A'ovel Courses Classes at the institute are being temporarily conducted in some of the service buildings. The main building is empty, but the problem of rehabilitation was solved a few days ago. Some novel courses have been initiated.

The students have been divided into five groups and are studying carpentry, plastering, how to in stall and repair water pipes, how to do mechanical jobs and how to repair fine instruments. Lessons have been arranged so that they do not interfere with the students' basic lectures, but by vacation time the institute will have its own building workers.

Gatch, judge advocate-general of the navy and formerly commander of the battleship South Dakota, which attained fame as "Battleship when it shot down thirty-three out of thirty-four attacking Japanese planes in the South Pacific. "1 propose to speak plainly," the admiral said. "When a man has had forty men of his command killed in a few minutes in a night action I submit that he may be excused for speaking plainly. The prattling of our pacifists caused those deaths. It will probably have caused 20,000,000 deaths before this is all done with.

Hitler and Tojo may be correct, in the final an alysis, in saying that the United States brought on this war for had we maintained our power in con sonance with our wealth Hitler could not have succeeded in sicking Tojo on us. Pacifists Blamed "The vast mass of pacifists who depended solely upon the avowed purity of their intentions and rushed in w-here angels fear to tread, was able to bring about the Second World War in less time than would have been thought pos sible. "Much the same state of affairs is likely to arise after this war is ended. The pacifists, the old ladies of both sexes, whose hearts rule their heads, are going to start an other hue and cry that we must have no more war, that the army and navy make for war, that we of the army and navy are villains who are only happy when we are in war. Probably five years from now for instance, will not be given the opportunity to talk to anyone as I am talking to you tonight If such a situation is again allowed to come about, if our armed forces are again reduced to the vanishing point, your sons will have to fight another war.

"In this unhappy world, the only safe thing we can do is to maintain such an armament that no gangsters could have the faintest hope of getting a sufficient start in an armament race. As the future leaders of our land, I earnestly request you young-gentlemen to take this advice to heart. What I have said tonight in the midst of a war in which our beloved country came dreadfully close to disaster, you propabiy, in the main, agree with. Keep on agreeing with it five, 10, 20 years hence. Then is when your agreement wall count." Admiral Gatch said that the song, "I Didn't Raise My Boy to be a Soldier," of the last war finds its counterpart today in the question "What are we fighting for?" I had the honor of the oppor tunitV to ficrht in this war "ancf I knew from the very start mat 1 was tignung so that my si diiuswi ouia never nave to fight.

The young men in our army and navy are fighting todav so that their sons will not have to fight in their day. It is just as simple and clear-cut as that."
