press conference about the protec- ton of war shipments to Great Bri- tain and the Navy's new policy of 'shoot-on-sight," Knox replied:
 'sTne escort of conveys by war ves- sels is only one of the methods that can be used and are being used In all of our defensive areas"
 NOn-XnterventlOn Done
 Non interventionist congressman said privately they saw no counter they could make. The announce ment brought praise from adminis- tration supporters.
 Senator Claude Pepper, Democrat, Florida, said the nation had "ap- proved the (sl1oot- -on-sight) policy announced by MT. Roosevelt last Thursday"
 Tt is the only way to assure get- ting the goods to the nations fight ing Hitler" he said. Tt is the only way to keep Hitler in Europe, and by keeping war away from the United States, to keep the United States out of war"
 Chairman Sol Bloom, Democrat, New York, of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee said the action would "just insure that the supplies will get there"
 Supplies Russia Can Use
 Jones in announcing the $50,000,. 600 credit to Russia, said the goverIl~ ment had contracted with Arntorg, Soviet Trading Corporation, to pur- chase $l00,O00, 900 worth of Russian manganese, cromite, asbestos and platinum.
 The supply priorities and alloca- tions board meanwhile concluded an agreement with Jones to expand and speed up the production of alurni- nun and magnesium.
 Jones, pointing out that aluminium production is now approximately five times greater than before the war, said that an even greater ca pacity than the 1,50o, ,0O0, 900 pounds annual goal now in effect will be needed. Magnesium production, he said, must be expanded above the present goal of 400,000,000 pounds a year.
 President Roosevelt said last week that he hoped to have the request fo rthe new lend-lease fund ready to submit to Congress today. He plans to leave tonight for Hyde Park, N. r., and it was believed that he would send the message to Congress before leaving the White House.
 Congressional sources reported that the new request would ask for more than $l ,oO0, ,o0o, 900 for agricul- tural products.
 New Armed Cargo Ship
 Washington, September 18. - (UP) - The Navy Department to- day announced perfection of @ new type 1,000-ton, armed cargo ship that twill challenge the gubTnar- inc and provide a new bridge from this country to the free nations of the world"

 The ship, which was perfected with ''the. active and inslstent help" of President Roosevelt, soon will com plete its final trials.
 The Navy said the vessel will mount "a suitable anti-aircraft bat. tery.n
 The new type ship is light in weight, simple in construction, rela. lively cheap both in original cost and upkeep and embodies Q novel propulsion arrangement never be- fore used in ocean-goir1g freiShters,
 The first aim of the designers was to create a shallow draft ship At Q small cost which could be produced in great enough numbers to offset sinkings and losses of material and manpower in time of war.
 The first of the new vessels, known as the Sea Otter, will be driven by a six-foot propeller sunk amidshin It will carry Q net cargo of l,SOC tons.
 The propeller will be driven by i6 gasoline engines. The engines are no horsepower, six cylinders, developing a total of i,700 horse power. The whole propelling mechanism can be hoisted and re- placed while underway.
 The vessels, only 2T0 feet in length, can be built inland and taken to sea through rivers and canals. Engi- neers believe that vessels of the Sea Otter class can be turned out In two months after plans are standard ized.
 The ships would carry only a small crew, thereby reducing the risk of 1nanpower; have speed of l2 knots and a range of 1000 nautical miles.
 Final decision on construction of Q fleet of the new ships was expected to await first tests of the Sec Otter.

AGGRESSIVE YOUTH
 IN NEAR TRAGEDY
Judge COngratulates Ac- Cused on Close Call of
 Battling an Ex-Champ

As three youths stood facing Judge John L. Gaffney in municipal court today on charges of breach Of peace and tampering with an automobile owned by Attorney Ed ward Sweeney, the judge learned that Edward Adamaitis, Is, of 993 Hamilton avenue wanted to give Attorney Sweeney a fist fight.
 Judge Gaffney told Adamaitis that the best thing that could have happened to him was to have his friend, John J. YarosiS, 19, of 10. Q Edgewood avenue disSuade him from attempting to "take on" Attorney Sweeney in any encounter.
 T promise you the unexpected would have happened If you had engaged in @ fight with Attorney Sweeney, whom I have known since Yale days when he was champion wrestler at the university"
 Judge Gaffney indicated Attorney Sweeney'S modesty and his refusal to accept Adamaitis' challenge was the accused's good fortune.
 EAOeOAASy 0WSS4ASyb 4Ok & C4ldk1Be was @ complaining witness, said that the three youths were sitting on his new car which was parked in front of his home and when he ordered them away, Adamaitis refused and exchanged some words with him. The boys denied they tempered with the car and said they were not committing anything wrong and did not feel that Atty. Sweeney could order them away.
 The three youths were arrested last night by Motor Patrolmen Thomas Bedding and Walter OgriSek and Patrolman Thomas Griffin on Madison street.
 The three youths were released on their good behavior after a warning from the court.
