Voted Mitchell by Senate

By the Associated Press.
The Senate passed and sent to the
House today legislation which would
grant a posthumous promotion to
the rank of major general for the
late Col. william L. Mitchell, World
War Air Corps chief who was court
martialed because of his outspoken
criticism of Army policies.
As 1t came before the Senate and
as 1t was introduced by Senator
Wiley, Republican, of Wisconsin,
the resolution would have amended
the War Department records to give
Mitchell the temporary rank Of
brigadier general. which he held at
one period.
The chamber adopted. however.
an amendment by Senator Clark.
Democrat, of Missouri to grant the
higher rank Of major general. The
Missouri Senator contended that If
any action was taken I'VE ought to
do it generously"
Mitchell, Senator Clark said, Was
court-martialed when he came into
conflict with the brass hats because
he had the courage to advocate that
air power was certainly the equal
of land power and sea power and
perhaps the predominant factor"

nv TIE Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Pennsylvania Railroad train
derailment which killed 13 and in
jured 49 at Dunkirk. Ohio. on the
night of November was caused by a
cylinder head which broke loose from
a locomotive on an adjacent track,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion reported today.
The report said the cylinder head
was knocked loose after a fracture
had developed progressively in a
crosshead of the locomotive. Work
sheets showed a crosshead pin had
been found loose on four earlier
trips of that locomotive. In view OF
that, said the report, sit appears
that the pin should have been re-
moved for examination. Had such
action been taken, it is possible the
defective condition of the crosshead
might have been detected"

Hull Seeks 10 Clarity
Departments Stand
On s.. Pierre Seizure
Says 'So-CoIIed' Phrase
Applied Only to Ships
Used by Free French

Secretary of State Hull today
sought to clear up misunderstanding
concerning the State Departments
attitude coward Free French forces
by emphasizing that the United
States extends equal friendship to
all peoples opposing the Axis.
It seems almost incredible, Mr..
Hull said, that any one could believe
that the State Department might
have any policy to the contrary.
His comment came at press con-
ference discussion of this Govern
ment's attitude toward the Free
French seizure of ST. Pierre and
Miouelon. in reference to widespread
public criticism of the departments
condemnation of what it termed the
arbitrary action" by the Free
French.
Seeks Amicable Settlement.
In conferences with British. Cana
dian and French representatives,
Mr.. Hull is understood to be seeking
an amicable arrangement that
would couple withdrawal Of the Free
French forces from the islands on
RI Newfoundland with establishment OF
Allied control of a radio station at
St. Pierre to make certain no In
= formation of benefit to Axis raiders
went out over it.
The Secretary said today it was
not possible to discuss details OF
the negotiations at present, but that
when a settlement was reached he
was certain no reasonable objection
could be found to the State Depart
ment's policy.
His remarks today were confined
to an attempt to make clear that
the department is not unfrlendly
to either the Free French move
ment or the Vichy government OF
France. which is seeking restora-
ton of its sovereignty over the
North Atlantic islands.
Called" Applied to Ships.
Asked specifically about criticism
of a reference to the ''so-called Free
French in a December 25 state
ment condemning seizure OF ST.
Pierre and Miquelon as derogatory
to the De Gaullist movement. Mr..
Hull said that no such meaning
was intended.
He pointed out that the state
ment referred to "action taken by
three so-called Free French ships" !"
explaining that the "So-called" ap-
- tho chJy,c iy,vn1UpH the
Islands seizure and not to the Free
French movement That statement
was based on preliminary reports
without full information as to iden-
tity of the ships used by the occu-
patton forces.
This Government, including the
State Department, Mr.. Hull en-
phasized. is equally friendly to
every human being on the planet
who is opposing Hitler, Mussolini
and the japanese.
Condemnation of the st. Pierre
Miouelon seizure was based on the
fact that it was taken contrary to
the agreement of all parties ceR-
cerned," in the midst OF friendly
negotiations with Vichy for estab-
lishment of Allied controls over the
st. Pierre radio station, and might
be construed as contrary to long
standing United States and inter-
American policy against forcible
transfer of any territory in this
hemisphere between European
powers,
