Navy Divers Set New Record In 44OFt. Descent

PORTSMOUTH, June 23 (P) - The Navy honored its ''men still at their stations of duty" the B members of the crew of the sunk en and pressure-crushed submar inc 0-9, after abandoning efforts to recover the bodies and salvage the craft in the murky depths 440 feet below the surface. The decision to allow the men to lay buried on the ocean floor came only after two courageous navy divers descended to the side of the vessel, working in dives un- paralled in history, and it was determined that the further eff forts would jeopardize the lives of the divers.

Lithuania Up-
 Rising Threatens Russia In Baltic

UNDATED, June B (P) - A Lithuanian uprising and forma- tion of a new government, allied to Germany, threatened to under mine the Baltic bulwark that Rus sia raised against the Reich dur ing the two years of their watch ful cooperation under the non aggression treaty. Lithuania'S dec laration of independence came as German land forces, now at least ten miles inside Russian terri tory, and the air force pounded Russian bases and communica- tions. The tide of destruction, the German command announced, was proceeding lon schedule and successfully"
 From Kaunas, Lithuania, cap- ital of the little republic fronting Germany, and which Russia ab- sorbed last June, this announce ment was broadcast: "The Lith- uanfan people with all the means at their disposal will fight for freedom and independence" The Kaunas radio is apparently al- ready in the hands of the coupe

Submarine O-9 And Grew Of B

PORTSMOUTH, June 2l fP, - The possibility that the sunken submarine 0-9, and crew of 33, all dead, might be left on the ocean floor, entombed under a compression of 440 feet of water that crumpled the crafts steel shell, was sounded by Secretary of Navy Knox, who, unshaven and obviously deeply concerned, told neWsmen before leaving Washington to come on the res cue ship Falcon here, that lat that depth it is impossible for divers to conduct salvage opera tions, so far as we know"
 At the wreck scene, large quan titles of oil and pieces of cork from the inner hull and other bits of Wreckage rose to the sur face. The Falcon, which radioed that her grapnels found the ship, said there was no indication of life aboard.

US. DECLARES ANY FORCES OPPOSING HITLERISM WILL
 BE BENEFIT TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON, June B tP) - The United States condemned Germany's ''treacherous attack" on Russia and declared that "any rallying of forces opposing Hitler ism" will be bound to benefit Am erican defense and security. The statement was made by Under secretary Sumner Welles after he conferred with President Roose- welt, but left open the question of whether lease lend aid will be ,gipen to Russia. Welles said no communication has been received from the Soviet government, and consequently the question could not be decided.

 Skirpa, former Lithuanian min ister to Berlin, became the pre- mier of the new government, ac- ccrding to the Kaunas radio, and General Stasys Rastikis, former defense minister hs taken up his old post.
 Russia acknowledged the ten- mile German penetration from Lithuania and East Prussia. Like ly the Russians deliberately aban doned the new Notifications in the Baltic regions, Poland, Bess- arabia and northern Bucovina, fighting a delaying action, until stand could be made at the primary Notifications along the old Russian frontier, before Rus sia pushed her border at the Po- land partitioning, when Germany started the war, and incorporat- ed the states of Lithuania, Latvia Estonia, the Rumanian territory, Bessarabia and northern Buco- vina, a year ago. Whether Russia with withdraw from the bases in the territory she wrested from Finland, to guard the land & sea approaches to Leningrad, remain ed to be seen, but the Finnish governments statement of neu- trality was followed by a denial that German forces were using Finnish bases. The Films said, however, that Soviet bombers struck swiftly at their ports of shipping, a few hours after Hit Ter started his dawn offensive az ainst Russia. At Helsinki there was a 25-minute alarm this morn ing but no bombs fell.
