Berlin, Oct. 29-(UP)-Authorized quarters said today that i've are ready to prove to Roosevelt that We are superior to him in every respect --even in the use of gutter langu- age"
 A spokesman professed gratifica- ton over President Roosevelt's re- action to German comment on his Navy Day speech. The president, commenting on the ire he had aroused in official German quar- ters. described 1t as scream" and authorized quarters today said:
 "A rough customer needs rough treatment. Our statements have nothing to do with what some jour- nalists may consider good taste but they are directed against the man himself tMr. Roosevelt. We are gratlfed that our remarks had this effect on the president and we will sex in, the future to produce a similar efxect"A
 Commenting oSNPresident Roose- velt's refusal to publish his docu- ments on his Allegations of German aims in Latin America, the srokes- man said, i've declare that MT. Roosevelt is welshing.
 "Roosevelt,s refusal is proof of our contention that the documents are sheer fabrications and forgeries which he is afraid to show to the public"

U. 5. NAVY MAY
 HIDE SINKINCS
Follow British Policy in COncealing Number of
 Nazis Sent Down

Washington, Oct. 29-(UP)-Sec- retary of Navy Flank Knox said today that the United States Navy may follow the policy of the British and not announce sinkings of any German submarines that are de- stroyed by U. s. forces.
 One objective of such secrecy would be to keep the German navy guessing as to just what happened to submarines that failed to return
 Knox told a press conference that the navy would be guided "as any other belligerent" in de- termining whether to announce U- boat sinkings. He made the obser- vation when questioned by report CTS about rumors that submarines already have been sunk in the North Atlantic by the U. s. Navy.
 Great Britain has been in the war a long time, combating subma- rines, but you have not read about many of them being sunk" he said obviously, there have been Q lot sunk"

Taylor Had Just Left Long Session Held With Presi-

 IS ONLY HOPE LEFT Some COngressmen Still Claiming to Put Screws

BY JAMES SHEPLEY United Press staff CorrespOndent)

 Washington, October 29.- (UP) - Myron c. Taylor, a director of the U. s. Steel Corporation, met John L. Lewis today a few hours after he discussed the labor i'm. passe in the steel industry's captive coal mines with President Roosevelt at a night White House confer. ence.
 The meeting between the chief of the United Mine Workers and the Steel Company officials. who is MT. Rooseyelt's special emissary to the Vatican, was at the Mayflowef Hotel. The conference may be one Of labor's final opportunities dur ing the national emergency to go voluntarily to the mediation table.
 The meeting last night between Taylor and Mir. Roosevelt was at1- nounced by the White House a half hour after the Taylor Lewis meet ing started. Stephen T. Early, the Presidents secretary, said that Will liam H. Davis. chairman of the De- fense Mediation Board, also attend ed that meeting. No representative of Lewis union was present.
 Aside from disclosing that the meeting occurred last night, Early could give no details, explaining that he could not say how long Taylor and Davis were with MT. Roosevelt.
 Was Just a Talk
 '"The President last night saw Taylor and Davis" he said. "The reason was that Taylor came to town, called the President and asked if he could come in for talk. The President said yes and that is how 1t happened.
 There was no secrecy. there was nothing we tried to conceal"
 The White House had no furthei comment on the captive mine situ. ation. Early said merely that MT. Roosevelt still has had no reply from John L. Lewis to his third request that the United Mine Workers reopen the captive mines
 It was assumed, however, that Taylor informed MT. Roosevelt about the action of the board of the U. s. Steel Corporation, whose subsidiar- ieS operate many of the captive mines, in deciding to leave the dis pute to a final determination" by the mediation board.
 The conference does not bring about an immediate resumption of soft coal mining in pits ownei by the steel companies, administrations sanctioned legislation to compel mediation of defense labor contro- versieS is likely.
 There was no indication who would be present besides the bushy- browed, heavy-set president of the United Mine Workers of America and the immediately -dressed, white haired officer of the nations largest steel company.

 "Yes," she replied. 'But that was because I appeared in a play with another Frank Wallace whom never married and I thought the press referred to that other Frank Wallace and not this MT.
