Ambassador StandIev
Says Russian People
Are Ignorant Of Aid
Asserts Soviet Press
Does Not Tell Readers
Of Help From America
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, March 9. Admiral
William H. Standby, United States
Ambassador to Moscow. told a press
conference yesterday that the Rus
sian people are not being informed
Of the extent Of help they are get
ting from America and declared the
situation was unfair to the plain
American people who are digging
down in their own pockets"
Il have carefully looked for an
admission in the Russian press that
they receive material aid from
America" he said yet I have
failed to find any real acknowledge
ment Of it.
Il find no political motive TO this.
1t IS only an effort to create the
impression with their own people
that they are pulling themselves
through by their own boot
straps. -"
Admiral Standby pointed out that
a new lease-lend bill is now before
Congress in Washington and added
The American Congress is big
hearted ana generous, but II you
give it the impression that its help
means nothing, there might be a
different story"
When it was recalled to the AM
bassadOr that several Russian gem
erals had told foreign correspondents
recently that they were getting no
American help at the front except
trucks, he said
They are getting plenty of other
kinds Of war material. If it's not at
the front I don't know what they are
doing with it."
Among the things which the Rus
slams are getting, Admiral STANDBY
declared, are planes by the thou
sands"
But, he declared, "the Russian
people don't seem to know it."
There's no question about the
Soviets trying to create the impress
sion abroad as well as at home that
they are fighting the war alone" the
| Ambassador asserted.
Admiral Standby said he planned
to see Premier Stain soon, but did
| not elaborate on the statement.
Asked to comment on the second
front-question, he replied he was
not sure what the Russians would
consider a second front.

series of furious counterattacks,
using forces they have been able ap-
parently to shift from other fronts.
Although the Germans seem to
have been able to attain numerical
superiority in some sectors, no dis
patches from the front have con-
f1rmed the German assertions that
some of their units have stormed to
within II miles west of Kharkov.
Nazis Mount Heavy Attacks.
The Russians, however, still were
on the defensive southwest of Voro-
shiloVgrad as the Germans mounted
heavy attacks supported by tanks
and planes, although dispatches said
the Germans had been beaten back
1t was felt here that if the Ger
mans have been able to attain SUI
periOrity in this sector Of the Donets
Basin, where communications facili-
ties are limited, it is not unreason-
able to assume that they have been
able to do the same thing to the
north, where there are better trans
port facilities.
The army newspaper Red Star and
the government newspaper Izvestia
said sharp fighting for German for
| tifications along the western banks
of the Kasnia and Vazuza Rivers
preceded the fall of Sychevka, where
80 German tanks fell into Russian
hands and 5000 Germans were re-
ported killed.
Red Star reported that Soviet
troops now were menacing the high
way southwest of Sychevka which
! runs to the town Of Nikitinka, a
third Of the way between Sychevka
and Smolensk, which lie lis. miles
apart.
