STIRLING G. HUNTLEY Vf 'ik WOMAN'S A INTERESTS MBS. NINA ALEXANDROVNA GORBATOV ACTS AS HOSTESS AT DINNER FOR WAR CORRESPONDENTS. With the Red Army on the Bryansk Ffont, Aug. 17 (A3).

A middle-aged, matronly woman who would look more at home in the kitchen than on the battlefield lives on this front with her husband while he presses the attack on Bryansk. Only one of many Rusian women who actually serve or accompany their husbands on the front, she is Mrs. Nina Alexandrovna GorbatoV, wife of General Gorbatov, commander of one of the Red armies in the offensive. She acted as hostess in her husbands tent headquarters at dinner for a group of Allied correspondents visiting the front while her husband was farther forward in action. She has her quarters in the spacious, gray canvas tent with comfortable cots and flowers on the table.

Wearing a dark blue, light coat over a red woolen dress, with her straight black hair parted in the middle, she presided gracefully over an ample meal of hors doeuvres, hamburger steak, rice and fruit compote washed down with vodka and tea. She is not the type who likes to be interviewed. Officer friends said she has been with her husband on 4be front six months, living at his command posts. She also has a son, a captain, who fought in the Battle of Stalingrad. She worried about her husband and son because both are recklessly brgve, one friend said.

It is very dangerous for her to be here, but it is possible if the husband and wife agree to it. Other officers also are permitted to have their wives with them, working, in auxiliary services in their units. In case the husband is transferred, the wife moves with him. There are younger, unmarried women working in tije rartks, usually as waitresses, orderlies or clerks and other capacities similar to American WACS. At this headquarters a bevy of husky-young beauties wearing white smocks over their khaki uniforms swarm through the tents, keeping house and tending table under super vision, of Mrs.
