Most u. S. Aid
Reaches Russia
5000, 900 Tons of Supplies
Shipped to Soviet; Flow
Is Mounting.

WASHINGTON. - Almost three
million tons Of war supplies have
been shipped to the Soviet Union
since the Russian-aid program has
been In effect, Edward r. Stettinius
Jr., lend-lease administrator, says.
Mr.. Stettinius also said that by
far the greater part Of the supplies
shipped to Russia are getting there
and added that in December and
January there were no losses what
soever. In January the shipments
to Russia were considerably greater
than in the preceding month and
comprised very largely foodstufs
which the Russian soldiers urgently
need, according TO the report.
Allies to Join Effort.
This aid is being sent chiefly to
MurmanSk, the direct route to Rus
STA and the only northern port open
during the winter. Some supplies
also have been shipped into the
Persian gulf, and then sent overland
to Russia. Conveys from the United
States and Great Britain sent by the
northern route have been subjected
to strong German air and subma-
rine attacks in the past and heavy
losses have been suffered.
At the same time Noel Hall, Brit
ish minister to Washington on civil
ian supplies to North Africa, made
a report on the amount of foodstuffs
which had been shipped to North
Africa to relieve the civilian situa-
ton there. Out of their own scanty
stocks the British had sent nine ship
loads Of food by January 1, he said.
Combined British and American
machinery had been set up to cope
with the civilian situation In North
Africa, after those countries were
swept bare Of food supplies by the
Vichy authorities, and the effort Is
well under way to restore civilian
economy and rectify the severe
shortage Of consumers goods.
The American supplies under lend
lease have played a small but Inn
portant part in the great Russian
ofensives now going on, said Mr..
Stettinius, but these offensives are
still being sustained principally with
Russian-produced weapons.
Telephone Wire Shipped.
American tanks, planes and
trucks are continuing to 60 for
ward" he said, "in addition we have
sent to the Soviet Union many 9TH
er vital military supplies. For ex-
ample. we have sent hundreds Of
thousands Of miles of field telephone
wire which have been Of major i'm
portance In the maintenance Of So
Wet army communications on the
3,000-mile Russian front We have
shipped a considerable amount Of
steel, which Soviet factories have
made into Russian tanks, and chem
icals, which they have used in the
manufacture Of Russian bombs and
high-explosive shells that are now
ripping apart the Nad lines.

Extremely Dry Sands of
Desert Stalls Automobiles

One after the other three automo-
biles were stranded at the same
point on the sands Of a Colorado
desert. The engines went dead"
at exactly the same point and in
each case nothing about the engine
could be found out Of order. Then
came along a truck with the same
result but the driver calmly ahght-
ed, took small length of chain from
under the seat and secured it to the
frame Of the truck with the other
end on the ground. In a few Sec
ondS he was of, but after going
few hundred yards he stopped his
machine and removing the chain
returned on foot to his stranded
companions. Applying the chain to
one Of the cars it was found that it
was readily started and passed
along to the truck. The same result
with the other cars. The explana-
ton as made by the truck driver
was as follows:
The sand here Is extremely dry.
The friction Of the milling particles
Of sand caused static electricity to
be formed. The potential built up in
the motor reaches such high volt
age that it is equal to the spark
coil voltage, and no potential diff
ference exists: therefore, there Is
no spark. When the chain is at
tached to the car and Is touching
the ground, the car becomes
grounded" and transmits the
electrostatic charge to. the ground.
The spark coil then gives the spark
as under normal conditions"

Cambridge, Mass, today.
DR.. and Mrs. Dun appeared cheer
full as they boarded q train yester-
day ut Union Station. But neither
gave any definite indication as to
whether he may accept the bish-
opric.
When DR.. Dun decides, it is un-
stood he will communicate with the
Rev. DR.. F. ]. Bohanan. who is pres
ident of the Standing Committee.
DR.. Bohanan also was a member of
the Nominating Committee which
picked DR.. Dun as its choice from
four out-of-town clergymen nomi-
nated;;' and he also Is member of
the Notification Committee.
II DR.. Dun should accept. q testi-
monial Of his election would be for
warded to all dioceses and bishops
of the United States, majority
Of which must give their consent. -
These appr0valS are expected.
The procedure of obtaining con-
sent" probably would take weeks,
DR.. Dun then would select the place
for this conservation.
Church canonical law provides
that the presiding biShop of the
church, who now is the Right Rev.
Henry st. George Tucker Of Virginia,

ton of the bishop-elect, either by
himself or the president of the
province, and two other bishops of

If DR.. Dun rejects the bishopric,
