December, a week before he was
listed missing in action after get

Got 26th Jap Plane.
Everybody was eager about that
time to know whether he was GO
ing to break the record for enemy
planes. He tied it with his 26th,"
said 1t. De Chant.
"We got him to agree to land
the opposite way on the field and
taxi up to a special revetment where
we had our microphone so we could
get the sound of his engines as he
came in. Then we interviewed him
about his experiences. A week
later he was missing in action"

Sergt. James o. Hardin, who "wor-
ried himself thin fretting with the
equipment" 1t was sensitive to
tropical humidity and inclined to
deteriorate Gust like the people, -
1t. De Chant explained.
One night Sergt. Hardin was max
ing an air raid recording on Guadal-
canal. He was near the front lines
near Henderson Field. He was
blacked out in the trailer describing
the air raid as two men from the
outside brought reports from the
front lines.
Talking Blithely Along.
"He was blithely talking along"
1t. de Chant related, when he
looked out and saw his two observers
under a jeep. They saw three ex-
plosions from a stick of bombs COM
ing toward the Office. All of a sud-
den he interrupted himself and said,
Excuse me, I'll have to 60 now
He dropped the microphone and
rolled under the bunk. OF course 1t
wasn't any protection at ALL" laughed

his unit and prowled around the

Russian Domination
s.,
OF Mid-Europe Seen

German aggrandizement always
has turned toward the east.
whereas Russian nationalist expan-
sion has been toward the West. Thor
kerekas, professor of European his
tory at Georgetown University, said
last night in an address to the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association.
The Central European countries
in this war can be called the CON
tested middle zone" he said. TT is
toward these countries that Russia
today is working. Already, in con-
nection with Yugoslavia, the Ameri-
can public has had to revolutionize
its opinion. Overnight Soviet Rus
sia's protege, Marshal Josip (Tito)
Broz, has taken the spotlight from
Gen. Draja Mihailovich, leader of
Yugoslav patriots.
Prof, Kerekes ended his talk on
the present European situation by
asking the question, Must the
smaller nations of Europe be domi-
mated again by powerful, victorious
country, Russia?"
The association voted to support
the bill in Congress to increase the
number of District appointees to the

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 17.-Waves
OF Russian planes attacked Hell
sinki last night for the second
time in II days, spreading dam
age through much of Finland's
capital as unconfirmed rumors
persisted that the Firms are
dlckering with Moscow for peace
terms.
Russian air raiders also struck at
Aabo on Findland's southeast coast,
touching off three alarms, but de-
tails were not Immediately available
-Four hundred Russian bombers
carried out the Helsinki attack
which lasted nearly nine hours,
Aftonbladet's HelsinN correspondent
reported.
Although the attacking force was
twice as large as on the previous
raid OF February 6, damage was less,
he said. Twelve persons were re-
ported killed. but the figure on
casualties was likely to rise.
A Helsinki dispatch yesterday said
Finnish foreign minister Sir Henrik
Ramsay had reported to the parlia-
mentary Foreign Affairs Committee
on his country's foreign political
situation" but details were not
available
What demands Russia would make
regarding occupation of Finland so

rumored negotiations, Helsinki dis
patch to Dagens Nyheter said. 1t
added:
In authoritative circles it is felt
that nothing will develop immedi-
ately and rumors that a deadline
has been set for Finland to make
up her mind are pure fantasy
There was no apparent evidence
OF diplomatic activity between the
Firms and Russians today. although
the Finnish leader, Juhu Kusti
Paasikivi, remained here and pre-

Senators 10 Press
Inquiry on S|atteN's
Resignation Today

A Senate Agriculture Subcom-
mlttee was scheduled today to delve
further into the charges of Harry
Slattery, rural electrification ad-
ministrator, that pressure had been
exerted from the White House and
by Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard to force his resignation after
the REA was stripped of its inde-
pendent status and made a part of
the Agriculture Department.
MIR. Slattery told the subcommit-
tee yesterday that Mr.. Wickard had
asked him to resign June II, last.
explaining that some members of
Congress disliked him and that his
presence might jeopardize pending
department and REA appropria
tlons. The administrator said he
declined on the ground that he had
been appointed by President Roose-
velt and should resign, if at all, to
the President.
Later, he continued, William ].
Neal was appointed deputy admins
traitor and now passes on all ad-
mlnlstrative matters such as loan
applications and allotments for rural
lines before they reach him. Mr..
Neal also has taken over appointive
powers and other functions he nor
mally would exercise, Mr.. Slatterv
said
Discussing the White House in
teervention, Mr.. Slattery said that
few days after he had rejected Mr..
Wlckard's suggestion to resign he
was called before Jonathan w. Dam
lels, on of Mr. Roosevelt's secre-
tarles, and told it would be easier
for the President and all concerned
II he would resign. Later, he added.
Mr.. Daniels said if the resignation
was Forthcoming another job. pos
sibly surveying foreign power fields,
might be created for him. Mr.. Dan
lels broached the matter to him three
times he said.
Senator Aiken, Republican, Ver-
mont, asked MI. Slattery whether
he was given to understand that
Mr. Daniels was acting for the Presi-
dent.
he said that 1t would help the
President. l assumed all the time
he was speaking for the President"
Mr. Slattery answered
In response to another question,
Mr.. Slattery said REA had more
freedom of action when it was an
independent unit than it enjoysd
under the Agriculture Department
and that he felt the morale of the
organization had been on the down
grade since its absorption in 1899.
