In Dispatch With Kent,
jailed Embassy Clerk

retary Herbert Morrison an
nounced today that Capt. Archi-
bald Ramsay, a member of Par
Lament who has been detained
under defense regulations since
1910, would be released uncondi-
tionally.

Shipstead, Republican, of Mime
sofa, read in the Senate a London
dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
which quoted John McGovern, In
dependent Laborite member of
Commons, as saying Capt Ramsay
was imprisoned along with Tyler
Kent, American Embassy code clerk
to prevent disclosure of a reported
preWar understanding between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, at that time First Lord of
the Admiralty.
That understanding was described
as a pledge that if Britain entered
the European war the United States
would aid her.
Kent was convicted in London in
October, 1910. of violating the Off :
clal Secrets Act, and was sentenced
to seven years imprisonment.
Capt. Ramsay has been confined
since May, 1910, when the British
government began roundup of per-
sons suspected Of pro-Fascist ac-
tiyities. The order for his release
followed that of Sir Oswald Mosley,
who was the leader of the British
Fascists.
AS in the case of Mosley. the re-
lease precipitated a furry in Com
mons. Communist Member William
GALLAGHER attacked Capt. Ramsay as
"a rabid anti-Semitic'
Capt. Ramsay had retained his
seat in Parliament because he had
been convicted of no offense and
merely had been detained.

big industrial city, and two other
towns were the targets of the

Federal Communications Commits
sion monitors reported that atmos-
pheric interference garbled Tokyo's
broadcast identification of the raideo
towns aside from Anshan, but the
names sounded like Andan, which
is just south of Anshan, and Dairen
port city.
War results achieved by our
forces are being presently inveSti-
gated" Tokyo added.
Further Details Awaited.
The War Department said further
details would be released as soon as
information became available.
A Tokyo domestic broadcast said
some 10 American planes had raided
Anshen for about an hour and that
a small number struck at Dairen,

This broadcast, which conceded
only negligible damage, said two OF
the raiding planes were shot down

The new japanese death toll

the stalemate induced by stubborn

In advancing along the west coast,
the marines encountered swamps
and heavily wooded low hills.
