ference the aircraft accidentally
picked up the radio beam of a
japanese air field in Burma while

1t was her first press conference
since her return to Chungking after
seven and a half months in the
United States and Canada.
She touched on topics ranging
from aid for China to the shortage
of hairpins in the United States.
"You have no idea how hard 1t
is to get some things, for example
hairpins or elastic" she said.
How about the girdles?" inquired
a woman correspondent.

how ashamed they felt that China
was not getting more aid.
IT think the President and the
administration agree that more aid
should be given China-this is al
ready being translated into action" :"
