BROOKWOOD AMERIC ICAN
CEMETERY, ENGLAND, June 10
The first American dead from the
terrible battle across the Channel
rested tonight beneath British soil.
Rows of f1ag-covered caskets of
brown, polished wood lay at the
bottom of mass graves opened by a
steel -jawed steam shovel.
AS a double column of officers and
enlitsed men led by Ave chaplains
approached in a slow march, the
English operator Of the steam
shovel stood silently in his cab
his hand clutching his cap, his
black hair blowing in the wind
There was nothing to mark this
as anything but another military
funeral, but 1t seemed to drive home
with cruel sharpness the increased
tempo of war on the French coast.
With Capt, Sumner johnson,
United States 9Th Air Force chap
lain of Terryville, Conn, I drove
to this cemetery. 1t must be one
of the most beautiful in the world.
Here lie American dead from the
first World War. Here in the gently
rolling hills where the grass always
is green and towering pines scent
the breeze, will lie the dead from
this war until they are moved home.
There were no mourners inside
the rhododendron- bounded cemetery
save one. But in the road few
feet away stood an English girl, her
eyes red and puffy from weeping.
and chewed nervously at a wrinkled
handkerchief. She wore a rough
leather coat, no hat, and no stock
ings. One of the Americans was
her husband.
Salute to Fellow Pilot.
Another was flyer, a P-38 pilot.
From his base somewhere in England
four of the twin-tailed craft dipped
near the small group. Flying in per-
feet echelon, their engines mufied,
they circled once and disappeared.
Another American I knew. He
was the crew chief aboard a troop
carrier plane riddled by ground fire
beyond the bridgehead on Cher
bourg Peninsula Tuesday night.
Capt. r. F. Grady, Philadelphia,
Pa, read the Catholic service Maj.
F. j. Smeltzer, Shamokin, Pa, be-
gan the Protestant service with
scripture. There was prayer by
1t. Ford Gilbert, Long Beach, Calf.
The raw wind gusting from the
skies drowned out the words and
we could only catch parts:
II am the resurrection -"
Capt Frank H. Lash, Navy chap
lain, Clovis, N. Mex, said a prayer
and read from the Bible. Capt.
John A. Moore, Lake Helen, Fla,
and 1t. Dezil Carly, New York City,
a Negro, concluded the service.
We stood at attention and saluted
while a firing squad set the hills
echoing with three volleys.
Corpl. Joseph Ferlazzo, Clearfield,
Pa, sounded taps. Swelling and
then fading as the wind rose and
died came the answering taps from
the far side of the hill, where the
flag stood at half-mast before the
white chapel with its ivy-clad col
umns. They came from the bugle

telling Mr.. Daniels he had a letter
from my old friend Harry Slat-
terry"
Mr.. Daniels said the President
described it as "a sweet letter" and
he asked him to look into the situa-
ton in the agency.
Mr.. Daniels said one of Mr.. Slat-
tery's suggestion in the letter was
that REA be put in the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
Verifies Statement.
''But at all times he felt it should
not be under the Department of
Agriculture, did he not?" asked Mr.
Beedy.
Il believe that is correct" Mr..
Daniels answered.
Mr.. Daniels told of having con-
ferred at length with Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard about the REA.
Il think the Secretary doubted
the administrative capacity of Mr.
Slattery," Mr.. Daniels testified.
Mr.. Daniels appearance today at
tracted great interest because of the
principle he raised before the COM
mittee last week-that as con-
fidential aide to the President he
had no right to reveal publicly mat
ters that had been discussed be-
tween them.
After conference with the Presi-
dent, however, he wrote Chairman
Smith of the committee last Satur-
day saying that Mr.. Roosevelt was
willing for him to discuss the REA
matter and that he would be glad
to appear. In fact, Mr.. Daniels
added, the President said he was
willing to testify himself If the COM
mittee wished. I'd,
At the outset Mr.. Daniels made
an oral statement to the slbcom-,
mittee that he believed he was .Clo-s
ing what was proper under the law

pearance before the group Eehtuary

Mr.. Slattery. se7eA. Z
II felt then that had no right
to waive the principle that my re-
lations with the President we're con-
fidential," he said. II have no au-
thority now to waive that principle,
except that the President had in
formed me that in this particular
matter he has no objection to my
testifying. But I feel should say
that could not waive the principle
to which I have referred as gen.
eral matter"
Norris Name Proposed.
The name of former Senator Nor
ris, who helped create the REA while
in the Senate was brought in when
Mr.. Beedy asked Mr.. Daniels if John
Carson, director of the Washington
office of the Cooperative League of
the United States had suggested q
way out of REA's difficulties through
ex-senator Norris.
Mr. Beedy asked the witness
whether Mr.. Carson had suggested

that, if Senator Norris could be per-
suaded to take the position it would
be conducive to a better situation
in the REA.
Mr.. Daniels said, "Mr. Carlson so
felt"
Mr.. Slattery testified earlier in
the investigation that he was called
to the White House by Mr.. Daniels
and asked to resign, but that he had
refused to sign letter to that effect.
Mr.. Wickard also tried to get him
to quit, Mr.. Slattery said. Although
he did not aim the charge directly
at Mr.. Daniels or Mr.. Wickard
