(Special Correspondent, N.Z.P.A.) (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, August 31. Pilot Officer K. J. Stanford, of Wellington, writing from a prisoner of war camp, says: “We ran it a bit too close. I came down by parachute right in the raid and never got touched. It was quite pleasant coming down, but we sure left the plane in a hurry. Our camp is pleasant, but we are due for a move.” GENERAL HURLEY WANTS ACTIVE WAR POST WASHINGTON, August 31. Brigadier-General P. J. Hurley, United States Minister to New Zealand, who accompanied the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, on his visit to the United States, revealed that he was seeking a more active war role. He likes the New Zealanders and believes he has assured them of America’s determination to win. He now wants President Roosevelt to transfer him to combat duty.
