SUB 09 IS ABANDONED;
 B TRAPPED
Ill II-fafed Graft to Be Left Under 440 Feet of Wat
 CT, Is Indication

PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire, June 21.-Indications that the B trapped men aboard the ill-fated u s. submarine 09 will be left in q watery grave for all time was sound- ed by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, when he reported that lat the depth of 440 feet it is impossible for divers to conduct salvage oper7 ations so far as we know" thus in- dicating the sub may be left where it made it's last dive.
 That the craft is hopelessly lost with a strong possibility that its shell was smashed from the terrific compression at that depth, was giv- en to newsmen following the dis- covery by the rescue ship Falcon af- ter arriving at the site of the accf- dent. The 09 was not built for such water pressure and it is known that only miracle would save it from it's fate.
 , ~ On Practice Dive The O9, lost since yesterday follow ing practice dive near the site of the famous Squalus wreck a few years ago. left sea filtered with large quantities of oil. pieces of cork from the inner hull, indicating the boat was caved in. Several other bits of wreckage further proved that theory.
 The bits of wreckage were found floating on the sea on the arrival of the ship Falcon, which made a fast trip to the scene.
 The fact that all men aboard are dead was practically confirmed when grapplers from the Falcon discov- cred the location of the 09 and the condition and depth it was found to be in.
 The Falcoln, after arrival at the scene was ready to dispatch 9 diver to the boat, but on discovering the extreme depth of the O9 it was deemed inadvisable and impossible to make the attempt.
 No indications were discovered as to what caused the disaster or why it happened.
 Oregon Man Aboard @
 It is learned that Robert Gardner, of Corvallis, Oregon. torpedoman, third class, is aboard the submarine 09.
 Gardner had just completed a course in the Navy's submarine school and was on his first under water trip.
 The boys father, Dan Gardner, reported to the Associated Press to- day he had recently received a let ter from his son relating he was about to board his first submarine on its first diving duty.

WASHINGTON, June 21 = The capital here and there:
 Mai. Gen. Robert c. Richardson, the cavalry man who has been called in to head the Army's pub lie relations division, has developed a system of kneeing his troubles away.
 The General has lot to do his hours and duties would make a lazy man pull the covers right over his head. But one of his worst duties is greeting job-seekers Cor their mothers and fathers and un- cles and brothers) who think pub lie relations is a soft and undan- gerous berth in which to go through national emergency-and crack pots, both sincere and selfish, who want to sell the Army some great scheme for selling the Army to the nation.
 As usual, these people are as long : winded as an auctioneer. They cannot often be slowed down, hurried up, or turned from the path they have taken.
 Maybe it was thinking in such terms that gave the former general of cavalry his idea. Maybe he re- membered what a little knee-pres- sure did to horse.
 At any rate, if you're pest and the General lolls back in his chair, raises his arms behind his head and ever SO inconspicuously slides his left knee to the drawer wall of his desk-you might as well pick up your hat and beat a retreat. What the Generals knee strikes is little button that sets off a buzzer in the outer office

WASHINGTON.-- In any show down between the giant army of Adolf Hitler and the equally huge battalions of Josef Stalin, U s. mill tary experts are betting on the Nazls.
 Russia's army for years was the largest in the world, even today may be somewhat bigger than the Ger man. Furthermore, it first developed many military tricks now made so effective by the Nazis, such as para chute troops and the mass use or tanks. ..
 Furthermore, the Russian army IS well-equipped, well trained and well disciplined, though not nearly as well mechanical as the German.
 However, Hitler has two big ad- vantages over Stalin. One is the German genius for organization and efficient transportation. The other is the fact that Germany can send lightning strokes against Russia in two or three different areas. and to defend against these the Russian army has to be scattered over tre- mendous area instead of concen- trated iii two or three places.
 1. Via Finland, toward Leningrad. Already General Mannerheim, who hates Russia, has been in confer ence with German generals, and for some time has been ready to cooper ate with Germany in drive on Len ingrad.
 2. On the other hand, Germany might strike from Warsaw through Brest-Litovsk into Polish Russia.
 3. Finally Hitler mi Int move from Rumania through the Ukraine to Kiev and Odessa. This would be the .deadliest attack of all, aimed to cut Russia off from her main south- ern outlet to the sea. Already Ger man troop transports are reported at Black Sea ports of Rumania and Bulgaria, waiting to strike at Rus sian oil on the other side of the Black Sea.
