Thanks for printing my letter last week. / have
received SO many congratulations it looks like

radio newsman apologized and in ding made himself
ridiculous by saying nit should have been four min

grossly misinformed. The newspaper apology know

these facts sti IL remain:

Health Department Ct don't even know them) any
other living soul in Greenbe1t, but I don't think
that these depar should be above criticism by
the citizens for whom they work. I think it is
their duty to know their business and their business
is to act correctly in emergencies. Officers that
can't do this and hospitals without doctors uty

need such expensive fixtures.

 The agency said:
 "Yesterday enemy airplanes in the Salla sector attacked their own troops, dropped bombs and used ma chine guns.
 "There also was severe fighting among tho Soviet infantry.
 Tn addition to heavy shooting, loud shouting and noise was heard from the scene of fighting"
 Finish sources have repeatedly claimed that Russia troops were poorly clad and near mutiny on the northern fronts, but there had not been previously such c definite acc count of alleged rebellion in the Red army. Previous Finnish charges had been that Soviet officers posted ma chine guns behind their men to force them to advance and to prevent re- treat.
 The Films have claimed smashing successes in counter. attacks on tho 4alla front in the last week, but have been expecting Q new Russian offen- slVe.
 The Finnish agency did not olarlfy whether the bombing and strafing of the Russian lines could have been duo to confusion or on error on the part of the Soviet pilots.
 Regarding the remainder of tho front, the agency said:

 The proposed hlT would probably be jolt Go Japan In view of the fact that more than one half our scrap iron export goes to Japan. About lS per cent each goes Go England and Italy, the Congress man said.
 His statement concerning the pro- posed bill is as follows:
 This legislation Is proposed in order to protect employment in domestic industries which are, to Q great extent dependent on supplies of scrap iron and steel. The com plaint is being made at the present time, that because of heavy pur- chases, particularly by Great Brit ain, Japan, and Italy, the small re- serves in the hands of manufactur- CTS of iron and steel in New Eng land are being exhausted, and further supplies in sufficient Quan- tity may not be available. This situation may cause Q curtailment in production in some of our plants, with resultant serious increase in unemployment.
 q believe that 1t should be thor oughly investigated and If the situ- ation proves to be as serious as the steel manufacturers of this section hAltANpM tt tA hM e ltAAvA 4esen exeakNNaA for the export of iron and steel scrap, similar to that now in exist enoe under the act for the protec. ton of the supply of scrap tin should be enacted and put in force.
 "A survey of laws and regulations of other countries is being made, and Is expected to show that the United States is the only country which does not regulate the export of scrap iron and steel for the pro- tection of its own industry and military reserves.
 More than one half of our scrap iron export goes to Japan, and some 1S per cent each to Great Britain and Italy, although 1t Is probable that the British have acquired subs Stantial reserves which still await shipping facilities,
 "The Japanese are using our scrap iron at the rate of some g.. 100000 tons 0 year, enabling the Japanese to expand their own fin- ished Iron and steel production to some 6,000,000 tons . year. while our industry is threatened with cur- tailment because of the impending shortage of scrap.
 "The situation Is sufficiently se- rious to demand:
 "i. Immediate verificatlon of facts on the scrap supply and needs in this country,
 "2. Protection against any such condition of shortage through ex- port as is now feared"
