At the rectory of the Shrine o.
the Little Flower at Royal Oak, OF
which Father Coughlin Is pastor, 1t
was said that he was "out" and NO
one could say where he could be

not to know where he was nor

reason for his absence from the air

It appeared that northeast OF
Lake Ladoga the long Russian Of
fensive had been suspended. for Of
fetal dispatches noted general quiet
there except for raids by Finnish ski
patrols ON the Russian supply lines.
Interest centered on the Man.
nerheim line fighting, where the
Russians were striking repeatedly
at the Summa sector in 10-degreeS
below zero weather, so cold that
many of the wounded froze before
aid could reach them.
The Russians lost nine tanks in
that sector Saturday in our sep
arate attacks in force-more than
they had made in one day in any
previous battle.
An official communique said that
the Russians continued to bomb
towns and villages heavily in South
ern Finland, and that now north
ern towns were being bombed as
well.
Reports had not been collated
of the most recent casualties, but it
was said that more than 100 persons
were known dead and 200 wounded
in raids Saturday and Friday.
Sortavalia, on the north shore of
Ladoga, was bombed heavily Satur-
day and several civilians were killed,
a communique said. It was asserted
that one bomb crashed through the
Red Cross emblem painted on top
Of hospital. 1t was estimated tina:
40 persons were killed and SO
wounded in bombing raids in the
north.
A Finnish communique said II
Russian planes were shot down Sat-
urday.
Dispatches indicated that the
Russians continued to drop troops
by parachute behind the Manner
helm line. Official sources said the
parachute troops wore Finnish army
uniforms, with white snow cloaks
and carried skis, automatic arms
and radio sending sets. Some cap
tured parachute troops were quoted
that they had orders to spread
propaganda in the Finnish fighting
lines.

Craig was telling the New Orleans
airport that he was lost, and, though
he had enough gasoline for half an
hour, intended to "set her down or
crack her up" He circled 10 to Is

A few minutes later the plane cut

marsh trees. The wings were sheered
off and the fuselage burned. The
bodies were charred.
Persons living nearby found the
jacket OF a two year old child amid
the wreckage and thought for a while
that q child had been killed. But 1t
was the jacket Of Craig's baby. He
apparently had taken 1t along for

REP. HOOK IS
NOT APOLOCIZINC
Continued from Page y

He said that he first met Weisberg
at a stag dinner Jan. 16 at Jackson's
home. Several congressman were
present.
Rep. John J. Dempsey, D., N. NJ,
Dies committee member. told the
rules committee that only Mayne's
expenses were paid by the Dies COM
mittee when 1t sent him to locate
Pelley. AS former employee of
Policy" Mayne could best locate the
Silver Shirt leader whom the COM
mittee sough for questioning, Demp-
sey said.
Hook told Rep. E. E. Cox. D., Ga,
his purpose in using the letters was
to stop" the Dies committee and
prevent its continuation for year.
Those documents are not proven
to be forged yet" Hook said.
He recounted that his speech was
divided into two parts, one regard
ing Lies and Mervin K. Hart, whom
ae described as a collaboration with
the Christian Front, and the other
dealing with the Policy letters.
There was nothing illegal, I'M
moral or unethical for Dies to have
associations with and appear at pub
lie meetings where Hart is present, n
Hook said. Neither is there any
thing illegal to be even a member of
the Silver Shirts or to associate with
members Of the organization. There
was no charge that Martin Dies
wrote any of the letters or had any
thing to do with writing them.
Therefore there Is no impugning the
motives Of a member Of congress"
Hook said that after Mayne re-
turned from his trip to Asheville to
find Pelley, he approached Weisberg
with the letters.
IF Mayne is such a lowdoWn cul-
prit, the Dies committee investi-
gators and chief counsel (Rhea
Whitley, former counseD knew far
more about Mayne than I did,"
Hook asserted.
There are only two persons who
know.if these letters are forged, and
they are Mayne and Policy. All the
rest Is conjecture"
Hook told in detail about the din
ner at Gardner Jackson's home. He
said that Rep. Joseph E. Casey, D.,
Mass, member Of the Dies commit
lee, told the diners that mo matter
what evidence is produced" 1t would
be impossible to prevent continual
ton Of the committee.

Jones had pinned himself in a
blanket, pulled a wooden toque over
his head and removed his shoes be-
cause their swollen condition made
his ski-bootS uncomfortable.
He burrowed into the three-foot
deep snow between rocks then kept
himself awake during the long hours
by singing ION the Road to Manda-

singing when he reached base camp.
During the 25-mile ambulance ride
to Littleton, his froSt-nipped lips re-
peatedly broke into song.
Jones companion had been Karl
J. Sax, 70, Of Boston. They started
out Thursday with skis, food, and
sleeping bags to 60 from Crawford
Notch over the presidential range
to Pinkham Notch. They climbed
nearly three miles Thursday and
camped at tn. edge Of the Timber
line. The next morning, they went
on up the mountain and by sunset
they were bucking blizzard that
made further progress impossible.
They dug il, for the night and hud-
died together in their sleeping bags.
The temperature was far below zero
and the wind had reached gale
velocity.
Sax said Jones seemed to suffer
from the cold so they decided to
return here. Sax led the way. Jones

fix them and he would wait, but
Jones said 1t was too cold to stand
idle and he had better go on and
find help. Jones said he would Ak
his skis and follow.
Sax went on, finally, and by Sat
urday night he had reached a main
highway at the base of the slope
where he notified forest rangers
that Jones was lost. Sax had to be
hospitalized.

The tariff case centers on the pro-
