RUSSIAN TANK ADVENTURE
* COMMANDER SURVIVES ORDEAL LONDON, March 13. The hectic exploits of a Russian tank commander have been revealed in a Soviet communique. During an attack on a village his tank was damaged and broke down. The commander continued to fire until all his ammunition was exhausted, and he was cut off by the enemy. The other members of the crew had been killed. For nine days the commander remained in the tank, suffering greatly from cold and hunger. He was then rescued by advancing Soviet infantry.
