The British Expeditionary Forces are reported still fighting desper- ately in the Thermopylae sector, 100 miles north of Athens in what is apparently rear guard action to check the German blitzkrieg armies until the main body of the British Expeditionary Forces have embark ed in southern Greece.
 German aviators describe the scenes in the various Greek harbors as the widest of confusion as Nazi Stuka dive bombers rained death and destruction on oop-jammed British transports.
 Berlin sources asserted that at least l60.000 tons of transports have already been sunk.
 Acknowledge Damage
 The official Greek communique acknowledged assaults of screaming Stukas inflicted considerable dam age to ships and other installa- tions"
 While the fall of Athens that will end the Battle of the Balkans. app pears imminent, authoritative quart CTS in London insisted the BEEF troops are clinging stubbornly to the defense positions in the Ther- mopylae zone. It is in this historic sector the Germans claimed yester- daay the Panzer columns had smashed the British rear guards and plunged on toward Athens.
 The British spokesman declared that reports the British flank had been turned is without basis and said this is very doubtful"

WASHINGTON = At an earlier private talk with defense advisers the President was lot more ex- plicit about protecting U. s. mer- chant ships than he was at his press conference.
 In the afternoon he merely told newsmen that safeguarding vessels outside war zones was obligatory under the law. He did not indi- cate how far the Government was prepared to go to provide this protection. At the morning meeting with defense counsellors the Presi- dent supplied the missing link.
 He declared flatly that the Gov ernment would go the limit in guarding ships carrying lend-lease supplies to the British in Egypt via the Red Sea, which a few days before he had removed from the prohibited combat area list. If necessary, armed conveys would be provided, and they would be under orders to defend themselves by whatever measures were deemed advisable.
 "It's my duty, my obligation un- der the law as President to see that our ships are protected the President explained, in effect. Freedom of the seas is still a fundamental principle of the Unit ed States: no act of Congress has voided it. Our ships can go any where on the globe outside of prescribed combat zones, and l am required by law to protect them from attack
 He pointed out that there would be no question about supplying such protection against a non- belligerent country like France or Russia, and he couldn't see why the same rule didn't hold true re- garding other powers.
 Suppose one of our ships went somewhere in this, hemisphere, to Newfoundland, for instance, or to Arg ntina," he continue d. Wouldn't it be our responsibility to defend it from attack? Certain ly. it would. Well, the same applies if the ship goes anywhere else in the world, as long as it stays out of war areas.
 Tt would be entitled to freedom of the seas, whether it's destina-, tion happened to be port in this hemisphere or Egypt. And we intend to see to it that our ships have this freedom of the seas"

Charles Edward Russ ell turned from highly successful newspaper career in 1903 to join the muck rakers.' the coterie of journalists who for more than a decade exposed political, economic and social cor ruption wherever they ceuld find it.
 Russells speciality was the corpor- ations-as Lincoln Steffens special ized in municipal corruption and Ida Tarbell devoted her attention to the oil companies. The meat pack CTS and the railroads were the tar- gets of most of Russells attacks.
 He became a Socialist in 1908, be- ing one of the first of his group to make the transition from literary radicalism to political radicalism. He was the Socialist candidate for gov ernor of New York in 1910 and in 1912; for mayor of New York City in 1913 and for United States Sena- tor in 1914. He was nominated by his party as it's presidential candi- date in 1916. but refused to run.
 Expelled From Party
 k A year later he was expelled from the party for advocating the entry of the United. States into the World War, which his party vigorously op- posed. In 1886, however, when the party split into right and left wings, the rightists invited him to affiliate once more. He did so and became head of the right wing Socialist group in Washington. D. c.
 He was personal friend of Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson and corre- sponded frequently with the White House when he was in Europe be- fore this country entered the war With Russell out of the Socialist party, Wilson appointed him to the diplomatic mission which went to Russia under Elihu Root after the overthrow of the Czar in 1917 to pay this country's respects to Keren-
