Young Weillette, who lives at 152 Madison street, is under observa- tion now for possible brain con- cussion. He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital last "wednesday, but later released. He returned to the hos- pital on Saturday when his condi- ton seemed worse. News of his strange experience which has caused considerable comment throughout the city was not revealed by the police until yesterday
 Briefly the boys story is that while swimming in the pool he was sucked into the outlet drain, which is about 18-inches wide, and hurtled down the narrow pipe to a point some 26 feet distant where the drain empties into 8 big 48-inch pipe which extends all the way under the park baseball diamond and under Plank road to empty into Q small pond on it's south side. It was at this point that young Veil- lette claims he made his way to freedom.
 Call Heard By Girl
 Lieutenant Joseph Bender said this morning that the distress call of the youth as he was in the large pipe near the Plank road was heard by 8 17-year-old girl, Leona Mc- Grath of 1917 South Main street. She told Lieutenant Bendler that she heard a voice when she and g companion were walking along the Plank road. Both of the girls stop ped to listen but could not locate where the shout was coming from. Lieutenant Bendler said, the girl reported that the voice seemed to come from near at hand and yet it sounded as If 1t was faint and a dis tress call.
 veillette said that after he was sucked out of the pool where he was playing with several of his companions he bumped along a narrower pipe and after time he emerged into 8 larger space where he was able to stand up but he had to Stoop. He saw light drifting in from above, an attempt to raise an opening but was not able to budge it. He said he stumbled along until he came out at the mouth of the 48-irch pipe and that when he saw the light he shouted for help. At that point the voice seemed riuffled when the two girls heard 1t as they were walking about Twenty feet away.

 Berlin, July 29-CUP)-The Ger man high command claimed today that the great pockets of Soviet troops in the Smolensk area have almost been cleared out and the German Rumanian forces have swept across Bessarabia to within 2e miles of the big Soviet Black Sea port of Odessa.
 The high command said that two more big pockets of encircled Rus sian forces now face deStruction- one final pocket to the east of Smol- ensk on the highway toward MoS- COW and the other in the Lake Pei pus area where the Germans are pushing toward Leningrad.
 The high command promised shortly to issue a tabulation on the great numbers of prisoners and war booty captured in the huge "Smol- ensk annihilation battle"
 The advance in BesSarabaia was said by Nazi sources to have placed German n-Rumanian troops in pos- session of Alderman, 28 miles southwest of Odessa.

Britain Is Considering What Te Do About Action Taken By Finlane
State of War May Exist Already Between Bri-
 tain, Finland

London, July 29- (UP)-Great Britain is considering whether a state of war exists between Britain and Finland as the result of a Fin flish declaration of co-belligerence with Germany, 1t was understood to- day.
 The declaration was made yester- day when Finland broke diplomatic relations with Britain.
 Diplomatic quarters reported that in any event the government was preparing to freeze Finnish assets
 "The Films took the first step,' an authoritative informant said of the situation. Largely as the result of long and intimate friendship with Finland Britain refrained from severing relations despite the sirn- ilarity of Finland's position with that of Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary. The government views Finland's move with regret because 1t obviously aligns Finland more definitely as Germany's co-belliger- ent."
 Relations End
 The foreign of11ce announced early today that the Finnish gov- ernment had handed the British minister at Helsinki, George Cor don Vereker, a memorandum that as Finland was now a co-belligerent with Germany against Russia, nor- nal diplomatic relations between Britain and Finland could not be maintained.
