 Torpedo Incident
 The new climax in Germany's of- fensive against Russia arose as a new cause of American German teYi- sion was presented by the firing of several torpedoes by a submarine, presumably German. at the Ameri- can destroyer Greer, en route to Iceland.
 Initial indications were that the Greer incident would lead to noth- ing more tangible than increased tension. Berlin had no comment on the matter and Washington did not appear inclined toward drastic ac- tion. In London the attack received wide newspaper play and was thought to bring the United States closer to war decisions.
 The Nazi high command. in its first report in several days on spe- cific operations in Russia. said that encirclement of Leningrad Is pro- gressing and that Estonia has now been cleared of isolated Soviet trocp l units.
 There was no indication of the weight of the bombardment of Lem ingrad now underway. Cannon fire into the city has been possible since the reported arrival of Nazi troops within l2 to IS miles of Leningrad, announced by Berlin Tuesday. Reports from every source made plain that a terrific battle is being | fought around Leningrad.
 London heard that the Na1 ad- vance on the city had been halted

The President said that the Greer was subjected to more than one at- tack in good visibility. The attack, he said, definitely occurred on the American side of the Atlantic Ocean
 Speaking at a press conference, MT. Roosevelt said that search for the marauding submarine Is un- derway. If 1t Is found, he said, the American naval forces will "elim- mate" 1t. ....
 "Eliminate" is @ very good word, he added, granting permission to put direct quotation marks around the term.
 The President, however, declined to discuss a suggestion that sucn action would bring the United States into actual shooting warfare.
 Destroyer Was Lucky
 He said, with emphasis, that 1t was very fortunate indeed that the de- stroyer was not hit when the sub marine attacked with torpedoes.
 He would not specify how many attacks had been made or how long . period of time they covered.
 When the submarine launched It's torpedoes at the American destroyer carrying mall to Iceland, the Presi- dent said, the destroyer was alone, The Greer, he said, was clearly marked by the American ensign and her Identification number was plain ly marked on her sides.
 As to the possibility that the sub marine fired a torpedo by mistake, he said the fact remains that there was more than one attack.
 The President admitted the pos sihility that the submarine might have fired torpedo by taking bear ings with its listening devices and never actually sighting the destroyer visually.
 But, he said sternly, this is on ameliorating circumstance, The consequences of launching a torpedo blindly at a ship identified only by the sound of its motors carries con" sequences fully as grave as launch ing a torpedo at 8 ship identified specifically as an American naval vessel, he said.
