S. Commissioner William P. Hinds in this city a week ago fol- lowing their arrest by immigration border patrolmen near Mooers, learned the difference between Eu- ropean dictatorship and American democracy Saturday morning in TJ. S. district court at Malone. In spite of being' charged with a violation of American laws as • their first act on entering the United States, they were astounded, but gratified to hear the ruling of Fed- eral Judge Frederick H. Bryant. 1—Imposition of a sentence for entering' the country illegally was suspended for two years, during •which their stay in this country will be' probationary. .2—Transportation was provided t o Utica. 3—An effort will be made to find employment for them. The three refugees, when arraign- ed 'before. Coimnlssioner .Hinds here, related their experiences.' Marian Budzinski, 32, a native of Warsaw, was a chemical engineer and officer in the Polish army. Anthony Wo- jteiwicz, 33, and Stanislaw Jurgas, 41, the latter a veteran of the World War, fled German oppression. The three, after experiencing war horrors •which included ship bombings and machine gunnings, finally came to- gether in Montreal after fleeing from troop ships at Canadian ports. Saturday ,in bewildered wonder, they were informed that no sentence . would be imposed; that the laws of the country would be suspended to give them sanctuary; that transpor- tation, would be provided to Utica, 'where one has a 'relative.' I t was Budzinski, the young chemical eh- gul*er, who voiced their surprise:— \It'1s just like another world here. It is sd different.'piqple are friends. Tljey all heip' 'us. Over 'there it is ncjt like this.\ .'- Frederick J. Bryant, attorney, who was assigned to their defense at no edit to the prisoners, gave his fa- ther, Judge Bryant, a sketch 6f then- experiences as each was arrigned. ; OF ftJRDHAM U.

Gauze and materials for surgical dressings are received from Washington, and work on them is done Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays a t the headquarters of the D. A. B. which has loaned its second-floor rooms for this work. Dresses for refugees are cut at the Normal school by another group and are then turned over to the sewers who meet Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Both the Champlain Valley hospital and the Physicians hospital have offered facilities for this work and at present the rooms and machines of the latter institu- tion are being used to complete the dresses. ' This work is being done under the leadership of Miss Mary McCaffrey who has set up a n efficient, well- organized group in a period of six weeks. Its organization is such that i t is now ready .for any emer- gency and is ready to double its staff of workers and double its pro- duction if necessary. Further ex- pansion to meet future needs will be a simple matter. Assisting Miss McCaffrey as heads of the various work groups are the following: Mrs. Beynolds, knitting; Mrs. Harrington, surgical dress- ings; Miss Buth Patterson, cutting dresses; Mrs. Mason, sewing dresses; Mrs. Armstrong, surgical shirts.

Beginning an inspection tour of tne 1,400 square miles of battle ground where all but a few units are encamped, Lieut. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, second corps area command- ant and maneuver director, assert- ed yesterday the almost armless- army will nevertheless get intensive instruction in mobile tactics. \Germany went through a similar training experience with wooden guns and mock equipment seven years ago\ he declared. \Besides the American people are motor minded. I have no qualms about the country being able to adapt itself to modern !.rix\tlvtiiWfii«/ii.ai>ri ,mnwM>nv ,r<;- c-ulhiiKTits. 'filipy all' doing it every day In civil life.\ But Drum made it clear he was displeased with the lack of proper equipment and promised he would \have plenty to say about that a little later.\ Meanwhile, the firs Army an - nounced the weapons authorized for j infantry and [field artillery \but 1 •which have not been delivered to troops\ will be simulated \by such means as may 'be adopted by division commanders.\ The greatest shortages are in the 37 MM anti-tank guns, 81 MM mor- tars, 60 MM mortars and the .50 ca- libre machine guns. Light tanks will .be imitated 'by trucks. The army also decided a bridge will Ibe considered destroyed when a troop unit is able to dodge mythi- cal fire and post a sign reading: \Bridge Destroyed. Center span blown. 75 pounds TNT.\ The sign must contain the name of the unit and the time of arrival and de- parture. The air defense command, recent- ly created to protect the northeas- tern industrial states, for the first time gave assurance of a \gigantic air battle\ over central and north- ern New York involving 34 invading bombers and 42 defending pursuit craft and anti-air guns. The aerial combat to begin August 19 when ^blacks\ combat the \blues\ represented a change in original plans which called for use only of observation planes which would imi- tate the large and fleeter ships. The air defense command, new- ly created 'to protect the vital Northeastern industrial states, dis- closed the War Department will as- sign 34 bombers to the invading •\Black\ army with a \bombing\ mis- sion designed to wipe out import- ant New York industries, railroad centers, communication lines an d ammunition depots of the deefnding \Blue\ warriors. Admittedly facing its greatest test in stimulated wartime conditions, the defense command planned to oppose the invader's objectives with two squadrons P-35 and P-36 pur- suit, planes capable of 290 miles an hour. The bombers, with a cruising range of 2,000 miles and a speed of 250 miles an hour, will come from March Field, Calif.; Maxwell Field, Ala., Selfridge Field, Mich., and Langly Field Va. They will oper- ate, however, from Mitchell Field, L. I., under direction of the Black Army seeking to push Its way into Central New York. The defending planes, directed by air command headquarters \hiding\ from the \Blacks\ within sixty miles of Ogdensburg, will operate from fields near Syracuse and Utica, two of ihe expected targets of mythical bombs. Opening of the main war games Aug. 19. after a \warming up\ of the 100,000 troops, also will launch an intended permanent air-raid warning corps comprising thousands of upstate citizens. The \spotters from their own homes about eight miles apart, will immediately inform air command headquarters of passing planes. By this method, the command hopes to learn the direction and speed of the invading bombers and permit interception by the defending pur- suit ships before the heavier craft reach their goals. The 62nd Coast Artillery anti-air- craft batteries will serve with two other similar National Guard units in the defense activities and will open up on invading bombers when [pursuit ships are too distantly sta- tioned to enter the battle. Permitted five minutes to take off from the actual \spotting\ of the bombers, the pursuit ships are given another two minutes to intercept the \enemy\ and are credited with scor- ing if the enemy can be engaged bombing goal. Some 60,000 troops—regulars, Na- tional Guardsmen and reserve offi- cers from 12 Eastern States-Ar- rived at the war games over the week-end and brought the enroll- ment nearly to complete strength. IN SOUTHLAND CAMP BEAUREGARD, La., Aug. 5 (/Pi — Generals, weather and mud, time-honored commanders of many a battlefield took charge today as 70,000 southern troops and National Guardsmen moved up for war man- euvers here in mid-August. Troops unloading from stream- lined trucks and air-conditioned trains in the Sabine Biver valley here came squarely up against their oldest foe—rain and mud—as they sloshed through the piney woods to pitch camp for training before their actual \warfare.\ flic- ,||WH)«nv<tr. ,(MHWW ilWllU' er in .simulated conflict regular ar- my troops and national guardsmen of 13 southern and southwestern states from the Carolina^ t o Arizo- na fighting under a single com- mand, are part of similar maneuvers throughout the country i n which 240,000 men are participating this month. One principal complaint of con- trol officers when 70,000 regular army troops \fought\ here in May in the army's greatest peacetime maneuvers was that the weather was; too benign and had offered no problem exceut for an occasional rainy day. Apparently it will toe different this time. Continuous rains have fallen over Louisiana and Mississippi for mor ethan a month. Little inconvenience was caused troops using modern methods of transport until they actually made camp off the paved highway a t Camp Shelby, Miss., camp Beaure- gard, along the Sabine and in east Texas where the Bed army of the west was gathering its forces to meet the blue of the east. The war maneuver itself is ex- pected to follow plans worked out in the May games, when an impro- vised blitzkrieg completely upset the general staff plans and left a smal- ler and speedier force victors over a numerically superior army \teing standard tactics of warfare.
