LONDON, Sept 2-Another great
r. A. F. offensive against German
held territory on the continent
roared across England's southeast
coast today as waves of planes set
ting out for the attack and return
ing to England filled the sky from
breakfast time to midafternoon.
The planes passed one another
coming and going with the regular
ity of railroad trains in renewed
and heavier attacks.
The German industrial city of
Cologne bore the brunt OF a severe
r. A. F. night attack.
The Air Ministry said the night
attack was not on a particularly
heavy scale, but declared good re-
suits" nevertheless were achieved.
Loss of one plane was acknowledged.
The government reported small
scale German activity in general
over Britain, but said one district
in Northeast England bore the brunt
of the raiding and suffered damage
and casualties. Two German air.
craft were claimed destroyed.
A lone raiding plane dived on a
railway station in East Anglia today
and machine-gunned two freight
trains.
Workers hurriedly crawled under
the cars. No casualties were re-
ported, although the station was
riddled with bullets.

Details Of Lease-Lend

Note Requests President
For Doto on Story
Denounced Lost Week
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Tobey, Republican. of New
Hampshire today made public a
letter to President Roosevelt asking
for details, if any, of charges for
whiskies, wines and entertainment
under the lease-lend program.
The Senator said a Washington
newspaper mot The Starr reported
that the British mission has
charged over $4,000 worth of meals
and rare wines in one Washington
restaurant alone to the lease-lend
bill (meaning to the American tax
payers and that the commission
has contracted other bills to be
charged to the lease-lend bill and to
the anticipated new lease-lend ap-
preparation which you are to ask
for
president Roosevelt was asked
about the restaurant bill story
last week at his Tuesday press
conference and replied by saying
that that certainly never was
charged to lease-lend. He re-
marked that this instance prob
ably was very good example
OF what he said was campaign
organized to spread rumors. dis
tortions, half truths and false
hoods in an effort to sabotage
the program of aid to opponents
of HitleriSm)
Senator Tobey wrote: The
American people are willing to pay
'on the nose for legitimate defense
expenditures but it is apparent that
they revolt against unnecessary and
lavish expenditures. whether for the
United States or for the British or
for any other country anywhere in
the world"

AIuskuns Think Soviet
Group Is Scheduled to

RI the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, Sept. 2:-Alaskans
in this far northern settlement
speculated today on the possibility
that the group of At uncommunica-
tive Russians who arrived here Sum-
day night in two flying boats would
ferry American-buil warplanes back
to their embattled homeland.
The take-off of the two big ships,
en- route to Washington, was ex-
pected today. weather permitting,
despite official silence on that sub
ject and all other aspects of the
mystery flight over "the roof of the
world"
Russian Consul Fedotoff arrived
from Washington. via Fairbanks,
late yesterday and went into con-
ference with Gen. Mikhail Gromov.
commander of the expedition and
one of the Soviets' outstanding air.
men.
The speculation of Alaskans over
the possibility of the men ferrying
airplanes back to Russia was based
on the fact that most of them ap-
peared to be aviatorS
The flying boats are expected to
fly south via Sitka and Seattle to
San Francisco. A report from
Anchorage indicated there might
also be a stop at Kodiak, where a
large United States naval air base
is being constructed.
In Washington some quarters were
reported as indicating that the mis-
sion might be largely of technicians,
coming to look over the latest Amer
lean planes and to discuss technical
problems.
There was official silence in the
Capital, both in Russian and govern
mental offices, as to the purpose of
the mission. Some Washington quar-
ters indicated they knew of the
fight at about the time the airmen
took off from Moscow five days ago.
The presence of the flying mission
in Nome conceded with the arrival
of two Russian Army officers and
three Embassy attaches in San
Diego. They were believed TO be on
a buying missien to the Consolidated
Aircraft Corp. which built the two
ply type ships which landed in
Nome.
Consolidated officials said the sea-
planes were built for Russia under
a S1000,000 contract in 1897, with
the approval of the United States
Navy. Three ply ships were in
cluded in the contract.
