Four men we're killed yesterday in
the crash of an Army bomber, trap
ped but a few minutes away from
the safety of it's base by a raging

crushed into hillside seven miles
from here. They were Sergt. Cor
don L. Purvis of Glennville. Ga, and
Pvt. Frank Carroll, Hyde Park,
Mass.
I'VE were flying high-about 5000
feet, I guess-when the motors
missed and the ship went into a
spin" said Pvt. Carroll, land all
were ordered out.
Something apparently was
wrong with the emergency door and
only two of use were able to get
OUT
Army records listed the victims as
1t. Raymond w. Sunni. Nashwauk,
Mimi, pilot: First 1t. Benjamin G.
Holloway, Columbus. Ohio; Sergt.
Gerald D Wilcox. Bennett, Iowa,
and Pvt. Leonard E. Riley, Wichita
Falls, Tex.
Armed guards we're stationed at
the wreck as authorities prepared
to conduct an investigation.
Their crushed bodies were re-
moved from the planes wreckage
after soldiers had worked for Hours
in the rain near the peak of the
isolated 2.OO0-foot mountain. Res
cuers struggled through the mud
carrying out the victims bodies on
stretchers preparatory to removing
them to mortuary in nearby
Riverside.

The Senate Banking Committee
today approved a 100000, 900 in
crease in the credit of the Export
Import Bank to enable it to make a
loan to Finland for military
purposes.
Finland is not mentioned by
name in the revised bill, which
leaves discretion in the lending
agency to determine how much
should be advanced, except that the
committee inserted proviso that
not more than $4,000, 900 shall be
outstanding at any one time to any
borrower.
Under this language the bank
could advance pp to that limit as
soon as the bill became law.
The committee acted promptly
after a two-hour executive session
with Federal Loan Administrator
Jesse Jones and officials of the State
Department, headed by r. Walton
Moore, counselor. Mr. Moore rep
resented Secretary Hull. who was
at home with cold.
Bill Goes to Committee
Under an agreement made by the
Senate when the question was first
presented. the bill now goes to the
Foreign Relations Committee for
review before being considered by
the Senate.
Senator Brown, Democrat. of
Michigan, author Of the original
bill for a direct $4,000, 900 loan 70
Finland, announced he accepted as
committee-approved substitute a
measure which merely amends the
existing Import Export Bank stat
ute by raising its lending author
ity from $100, 0O0. 900 to 5000, 900 900
He said that in addition 10 the
$50. 600, 900 limit on the amount out
standing to borrower the COM
mittee wrote in two other pro-
visos. as follows:
/. That loans should not De made
for articles listed as arms. ammd-
milton or implements of war.
2. That loans shall not be made
in violation of international law,
as interpreted by the State Depart
ment.
Senator Brown said State De-
partment officials advised the COM
mittee loan to Finland would not
be in conflict with international law
under existing conditions. After the
comm:tte had acted, Mr.. Jones said b:
IT stated to the committee that
If this bill passes and, in effect, is in
lieu of bill providing for a loan
to Finland. that would regard it as
leaving the matter of any further
loan to Finland up to the admins
tration of the leading agencies. I
would not consider it an instruction
to make a loan to Finland"
Mr.. Jones explained that he would
have to be governed by the circum-
stances at the time Finland applies
for further credit. The Export
Import Bank some time ago arranged
a $10,000,000 credit for purchase OF
non-military supplies in this coun-
try.
Brown Explains Bill.
Continuing the discussion of the
effect of the bill, Senator Brown
said:
Il think Mr.. Jones will under
stand that Congress wants to make
a loan to Finland If it is safe to
do So"
The vote in favor of reporting
the substitute was 10 to 2. The two
voting against were Senators Taft
of Ohio and Danaher of Connect.

Taft explained his opposition wa!

Associated Press Foreisn CORRESPONDENT
HELS1NKI, Jan. 24.-Soviet eff
forts to smash Finnish defenses
northeast of Lake Ladoga by sheer
strength of numbers again have been
repulsed, a Finnish communique re-
ported today.
The new Russian drive was said
unofficially to have been ordered by
Red leaders in an effort to save two
Soviet divisions trapped near Ait
tojoki and in danger of starvation.
These reports said the famished
Russians, caught while attempting
to outf1ank the Mannerheim de-
ferse line, were eating horse meat.
Heaviest fighting was in the vicin-
ity of Kitela, Aittojoki and Ko,laan-
joki. where the Finnish communicate
said the Russians were attacking IN
great strength"
Other reports said the Russians
were trying hard to cut the railway
line by which supplies and troops
reach this sector of the front.
Heavy Red Losses Reported.
Some observers believed a defeat
northeast of Lake Ladoga might
have disastrous effect on Russia S
winter campaign. Thus far the
Firms said they had hurled back tie
invaders with very heavy" Russian
losses, despite unusually severe ar
tillery barrages.
The Firms also said their air
force had carried out several sue
cessful reconnaissance and bomb
ing flights"
Seven Russian tanks were de-
stroyed on other sectors of the war
front, the Films said, and an enemy
advance across the ice of Lake
Muola was beaten back. as were at
tacks on the Karelian 1sthmus front
Soviet air raids yesterday killed 81
civilians and injured 81 others in
the Nurmes area, 40 miles from the
central Finnish-Russian frontier
the cCmmunique reported, charging
that two hospitals were bombed
there.
Firms are bracing themselves in
the expectation of hundreds of al,
raios in the coming weeks.
The heaviest death toll Of any
single, bomb dropped on Finland
in the eight-week-old war was re-
ported yesterday from Nurmes. Nine
teen persons were said to have beer
killed as they huddled in an air raid
shelter. Many others were wounded

delayed as Soviet aviators followed
