 N Neutrality Act
 v Congressional sources lacked con- $rmation of reports that the Presi- dent, as a result of the torpedo att Aack on the United States Destroyer Greer and the sinking of an Amer Han and an American-operated Ranamanian cargo ship, has de- Cided to ask Congress to repeal the Neutrality Act But several con- Rressional supporters of the admin Htration's foreign policy are urging such action.
 An informal check Of the Senate Indicated that Q Presidential re- quest for repeal of the Neutrality Act probably would pass with only 90 or 35 votes against 1t.
 V Congressional leaders believed that fl the President asked for repeal, he would have three-fold objec- i've:
 l. Elimination of the combat none" defined by proclamation un- der the terms of the existing law, eb that American merchant ships Gould carry lend-lease goods to ports now forbidden them - for Instance MurmanSk and Archangel M Russia.

great material benefit to the Reich.
 Meantime, the Germans are not receiving any of the things they need most from Russia, such as petroleum. barley. cotton, manga nese ore, and asbestos"
 Russia Is Helped
 The longer the Russian campaign continues the more opportunity the Russians will have to destroy crops and machinery in the path of the German army and transport porta- ble materials deeper into the in- terior, he pointed out.
 The commerce department survey reported that German publications admitted the vital importance of Soviet supplies of fodder grain for the maintenance of German hogs. These supplies appeared to be more important for l941 because of the admittedly unfavorable outlook for grain supplies in the occupied Bal kan nations during the coming crop year.
 According to the survey, Germany had hoped to obtain large quantities of materials from occupied Russia. even more than she had obtained voluntarily from the same terri- tories. Such hopes were predicated on a quick victory over the Soviet army.
 The conflict with Russia was rec ported to have stopped all German trade with middle eastern and far eastern countries, including heavy imports Of soy beans from Man. churia and cotton. hides. rice and other products from Iran and A. ghanistan.
 Rubber, tin and other war essen. tials which Germany also obtained by way of Siberia are now cut off.

NORWAY MAY FEEL
 HEEL OF GERMANY
Continued from Page D

Newspapers published accounts of Norwegian developments under great headlines such as "oslo now c prison" and "rhe blackest day in the history of the north"
 The shock was not less profound because 1t had been expected. Re- ports had seeped from Norway of the stout opposition of the Nor wegian working man to the Nazis and to the quislingS who worked under them.
 The first two men to die for their refusal to aid Germany by making war materials were Viggo Hansteen, trade union secretary, and Rolf Vikstroern, Q factory foreman.
 They were shot Q few hours after the imposition of Q state of eHner- gency and martial law iIl the Oslo area, and after Josef Terboven, the NaL overlord or Norwal, had re- fused to interfere.
 one workman was sentenced tc life Imprisonment at hard labor two were given terms of IS years and one was sentenced to 10 years.
 Quisling'S aide, odd Fossurn, was appointed chief commissioner for the trade unions upon the disInis- sal and Imprisonment of the labor leaders. Fossun is leader of the workers Association" of the quis- ling coilaborationist organization.
 One LippStad, chief aide of quis- ling, was named chief of the ems ployers' group.
 General Strike Planned
 Latest reports from Norway were that Q general strike had been plan. ned for today at Oslo in protest against Q speech by Quisling last Friday warning Norwegians that terror will be broken with terror. The speech aroused anger among working men.
 (Qulsling also warned Sweder that 1t was mistaken if 1t thought 1t could stay outside the German new orderly
 Members of the Quisling organiz- ation had followed up this speech by disseminating the statement that Norwegian workers would be forced into the German new order"
 But the threatened explosion dated back to August 2 when Ter bowen decreed state of civil em- ergency" in Norwal because of the growing underground opposition te German rule.
 Berger Meidell. commissar for so- cial affairs in the German-named Norwegian "state council", admit ted in a portentous speech at Oslo last night that strikes had broken out in the Oslo district and that they continued despite oppressive measures.
 He said that the strikes started because the workeres were not get ting their milk ration and he men. toned "rumors" that large quanti' ties of Norwegian milk had beer condensed and "sent abroad"
 "If workers strike for such req. son they do not understand thu meaning of a state of war and thu state of emergency that now hang over us like a sword" he said.
 Expressing the hope that worker would return to their jobs, he said
 Sentences have been pronounced already by military courts and ter ribie measures will be used. Thinl of those sentencedI Think of you family and your childrenl"
 Meidell promised that demand for increased pay would be "discuss ed in due course"

Citizens OF no other nation in the

to take advantage of the opportunity
TO help decide questions of Importance

This results in elections being de-
