...industrial centres and buy, for the U. S. S. R. a total of more than $30,000,000 worth of automotive machinery, plans, parts, cars and tractors. Today the main streets of Moscow are just beginning to present a traffic problem, thanks to several thousand little cars closely resembling Ford sedans, all Soviet manufactured under the management of Old Bolshevik Dybets-kicked last week out of his job as Director of the All-Union Motor Car and Tractor Administration...

Next day, with his report and dozens of photographs-including one of his Ford refueler flat on its back three miles from Fairbanks-he stepped briskly up the steps of the Soviet Embassy to discourage further search, to ask for $25,000 compensation for his wrecked ship. The Embassy differed widely with Mattern on his methods of search, Arctic conditions and the value of his damaged plane, expressed sharp displeasure at his failure to find...

His customary 83-cent...
