that Uncle Wiggily fell asleep on the

declined to discuss the submarine
situation with Bernstorff. But the
ambassador still clings to hope
that break may be avoided. NOW
that the note. clearly outlining the
American government position, has

orders to submarine commanders
must be withdrawn and undersea at

any determination of new plan OF

That is the clear intent of the de-

Senate Leader Kern Of Indiana, an
early caller at the white house today,
said he thought there was no dlspo-

any way, but every disposition TO
leave the president unembarrassed
in handling the crisis. He explained
that inasmuch as the note had al

gress could do no good and might
possibly do harm.
In reply to criticism like that OF
Senator Gore (dem.) that the presl-
dent is risking war because few
rash Americans insist on travelling on
armed vessels" it was pointed out at
the white house today that the con-
troversy has shifted entirely away
from the armed merchantmen
angle, as a result of the attack of the
Sussex. The Sussex was neither
armed nor a merchantmen. She was
a passenger ferry boat, according to
undisputed testimony, plying course
