Navy at War, Says
Spokesman Urging
Curb on Operators
Fifth Column RadiOmen
Endanger Battleships
Under Wartime Orders

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
(UP) A navy department
spokesman told a senate sub
committee today that the
navy is "in actual wartime
conditions with the enemy close by
and urged speedy passage of legls-
latiCn to eliminate "SubverSive" ra-
dio operators from the merchant
marine.
Rear Admiral S. c. Hooper, speak
ing for the department, said thai
legislation to crack down on fifth
column radio operators became
urgent last week when President
Roosevelt directed the navy to pro-
tect all merchant shipping in Amer
ican defensive waters and Shoot
Axis warShips on sight there.
"AS far as the navy is concerned,
we are in actual wartime conditions

said.
House approved legislation would
authorize the federal communica-
tions commission to revoke, with
out delay, the licenses of radio
operators who are members of sub
versive organizations, who are suS-
pected of subversive activities OF
who are incompetent.
Constitutionality of the legisla-
ton was challenged by Louis B.
Boudin, New York attorney appear
ing for the American Communica-
tions association (CIO) He charged
that the legislation could not be
considered urgent since it has been
pending before the subcommittee

Hooper interjected his statement
in reply to Boudin.
Boudin asserted that the bill ap-
piled to past membership in the
Communist party. He pointed out
that membership in the Communist

story of a German war machine
rolling across the rich flatlands of
the Ukraine toward the greatest
industries of the Soviet in the Don
ets-Don basin.
The communiques told of an un-
broken series of Nazi victories. the
comparable to those scored by the
wehrmacht in 1910 on the western
front.
DETAILS VAGUE
The Berlin. communique reported
the Germans had started a bold
attack upon the strong Kiev fortifi-
cations on the western side of the
city-apparently against the ancient
medieval sector of the metropolis
which is perched high on a cliff
overlooking the confluence of the
Dnieper and DeSna rivers.
The communique did not make
clear whether the entire city OF
Kiev now was in German hands
but it seemed likely that if it had
not been mopped up it soon would
be-
1t appeared also that the Russian
defenders were compelled to make
a hasty exit from Kiev due to the
slashing advances of German troops
both north and south of the city
which are said by Berlin to have
created new trap of encirclement
which extends all the way from
Kiev to within IS miles of Kharkov
CATASTROPHE FEARED
The German successes in the
Ukraine were so sWeeping-as an
ncunced by Berlin-that it appeared
that the southern Russian army OF
Marshal Semyon Budenny faced a
major catastrophe.
The Germans were across the
broad waters of the Dniepcr on
several wide fronts. They hadslaSh-
ed east along the Black sea to
sever the neck of land connecting
Crimea with the mainland They
had one steel finger of the trap
of encirclement reaching east to
within striking distance of the huge
steel industries of Stalino in the
DOnetS basin. Another thrust had
captured Poltava, rs miles south
west of Kharkov. Another was across
the Desna and beyond Konotop
northeast of KieV.
That meant-on the basis of Ger
man claimS-that Russian resistance
in the Ukraine was crumbling at a
rate which would soon force the
SovietS back to a defense of the
Don river line and place their backs
to the Caucasus, barring a Nazi
thrust toward the Baku and Batum
oil.
LENINGRAD RESISTS
In the north Leningrad was under
ever increasing siege with Nazi
forces pounding at all approaches
of the city.
