Fog closed in over the mountains
and it was believed a pilot who
thought he saw the plane down in
a clump of trees may have mistaken
a snowbank or cloud bank for the
ship.
The bomber, a twin-motored ship,
was last heard from at 3:59 am,
Tuesday while on a routine night
flight from McChord Field to Spo-
kane and return. At that time it
reported it's position as within five
minutes of Seattle.
Aboard we're:
Lieut.. Edward Valorz, Chicago,
pilot;
Lieut.. John Winship, Riverside,
Cal, bridegroom of week, co-pilot;
Staff Sergeant Robert Dextes
Victorville, Cal, radio operator;

Seagoville, Tex, flight engineer;
Private Jack Huppert, milwaukee,,

Private Milford Knight, st. Louis,

Col. William H. Crom, McChord
Field commandant, said a logger
who said he had seen the missing
plane was unable to lead ground
parties to the spot.
Much as I hate to say it, Col
onel Crom said, 1T now appears
the report the plane was found is
erroneous. We are right back where
we started, but will continue to

submarine attack last week on the
U. S. destroyer Greer, which was
enroute to Iceland, and over the
sinking of the U. S. freighter Steel
Seafarer in the Red Sea. The Greer,
which was unharmed, was carrying
mail to U. S. forces in Iceland.
The Steel Seafarer was carrying
lend-lease supplies to the British
forces in the Near East.
These indications came after a
White House conference at which
Mr.. Roosevelt went over with con-
gressional leaders of both parties
the pronouncement on foreign af-
fairs which he will make at pm.
EST, tonight.
Conferees declined to discuss de-
tails of the speech, but said that
no legislation was indicated. There
had been some speculation among
congressional leaders that the pres
ident would suggest repeal or modi-
fication of the neutrality act.
One person who attended the con-
ference said the speech was mot
very belligerent."
White House Secretary Stephen t.
Early said the speech would give
the people a cold, factual and up
to-the minute statement of the
American position in the war, in
plain language that would leave no
questions unanswered.
Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex,
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee issued statement urging
Americans to listen to the speech.
I'm the conference at the White
House we discussed the presidents
forthcoming speech" Connally said.
"Of course it would be improper
for me to anticipate the address.
However, it will be an outstanding
utterance on the foreign situation
and will receive the approval OF
the American people. Every citizen
ought to hear the presidents speech
tonight"
The Greer incident continued to
attract attention in the senate,
where two isolationists-Sen Ger
aid P. Nye, R, N. D., and Bennett
c. Clark - introduced resolutions
seeking official disclosure of orders
under which naval ships now arc
operating between this country and
Iceland.
Following his conference with
congressional leaders, Mr.. Roose-
welt talked for an hour and a half
with Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and Russian Ambassador Con
stantine Oumansky The discussion
apparently centered on the forth
coming American British Soviet
supply conference at Moscow.
Hull said merely that "the Rus
sian ambassador was received by

corner stone Of the Christian

Him a king so that He might con-

lieve on Him as He gave them
bread. They boldly asserted that
We know who Moses was hacause
he was able to get mama from

Unto the pathways that shall lead to God.

Grant me such glorious visions of Thee, Lord,
Thou Great Physician, that through Thy Word
May bring men healing both of mind and soul,
And give them joy of being clean and whole.
The sad and lonely, whom the hand of death
Has prlcked to anguished grief, help that the breath
