Roosevelt In Guarded Talk About Destroyers

for considerable time, and the anxi- ety caused by unexplained absence of submarines IS weapon worth using.
 He pointed out that during the first World War, while casualties to Allied vessels were reported, infor- nation on destruction of German submarines was withheld. In those cases, he scid, Germany simply did not know the fate of its submarines the Imperial government knew merely that certain submarines never returned home. This, he said, had an important effect on the morale of the crews of other sub- marines.
 Cited One Example
 He cited an example of his own experience in 1918 when, baoard a French blimp, a submarine was sighted in the Bay of Biscay near the mouth of the Loire river. The blimp dropped buoy and airplanes and submarine chaSers dropped depth charges which destroyed the submarine.
 Yet, he said, this destruction of an underseas raider was not reported in fact, it was not even confirmed officially until divers examined the bottom many months after the war ended.
 Reaction On Hill Washington, Oct. 31. = (UP) - News that the destroyer Reuben James had been sunk was met with mixed reaction on Capitol Hill today.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., an isolationist leader, declared that sinkings are "an inevitable result of a shooting war" He added that attacks on US. vessels are to be expected if the vessels are on con- voy duty.
 Sen. Scott Lucas, D., III, an ad- ministration supporter, said the sinking lis further proof of a we'll designed Nazi scheme and terroris- tic plan to drive all naval and mer- chant vessels, regardless of na- tionallty, of the Atlantic seaways."
 Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., isolationist, said the fate of the Reuben James was regrettable. But, he added, you can't expect to walk into a bar room brawl and hope to stay out of the fight. That's what the administration apparently hopes to do."
 Sen. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Okla, said the sinking offers definite proof that Germany is now attack ing the United States" and that this country must be prepared to meet incident with incident"
 Thomas said that the incident was not sufficient cause for formal

 Himself After Crime

now in the possession of the police as evidence.
 Police Version of Tragedy
 The police s reconstructed ver- sion of the murder and suicide in dicates that Martynovich, widower, nau been living in the TItor home since the death of his wife, six months ago. Yesterday he started to drink heavily and from his re- marks at the home of a friend, it was apparent that he harbored ll- feeling against Mrs. Titor. His m- Cimations about dying soon" are now accepted as part of his plot 10 take Mrs. Titors life first.
 The two were in the Titor home yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Titor was preparing the familys supper when she was apparently called into a bedroom by MarGynovich and aS- saulted wiCh pinch bar. The blood covered weapon was found later partly concealed under a blanket. Leaving Mrs. Titor unconscious and bleeding profu~e.y MarCynovich es- capped from the house and encoun- tered the young Titor girl on her way home from school. There was no report of any conversation be- tween the two. A few minutes after the chance meeting the girl startled the resluents of the tenement block with her screams about her mother. The police were summoned and Mrs. Iitor was rushed to St. Mary'S hos pital, where she died within half an hour.
 Hunt Got Started
 The hunt for Martynovich was then on and was in progress thIs morning when pollce headquarters received g. telephone message from Henry Boylan, a former supernum- erary policeman, now in the employ of the New Haven Railroad. Whl4e working in the railroad yards he ob- served the hody of man suspended from 8 fence. He called Dispatcher eugene Sullivan at the freight house ana the latter relayed the call 10 headquarters. Captaln William Dug gan ana Motor PaCrolmen Thomas Redding and William Dwyer, Ser geant patrlck Hilinorg and Patrol man Thomas Grady were sent % investigate.
 It was evident that Martynovich had fashioned a moose to the fence and had stepped onto gallon can before benalng his knees to com- plete his act.
 Following examination by Medical Examiner pr. klrSchpaum Marty novich'S body was removed to De- links Undertaking parlors. Coroner William Hennessey IS directing the official investigation.
 Where He Visited
 Lieutenants Joseph Bender and William Foley of the detective bu- reau in their hunt late yesterday af- ternoon for Martynovlch learned that the missing man had visited at the home of Mrs: Zachar Cher pinskey at 43 Lafayette street. He called before 8 o'clock yesterday morning and had been drinking, it was intimated. During his visit !.e remarked: T am doing to die this afternoon" He repeated this state- ment several times, Mrs. Cherpin- Skey claimed.
 Martynovich was an employe of the American Brass Company. He failed to report for work yesterday morning and 1t is believed that he spent the day drinking heavily.
 Besides her husband, Mrs. TitOr leaves her daughter, Jennie, IA, and two sons Benjamin, IS, and 1gnatz, 13.

 Must Expect More
 The source predicted that the United States must expect more submarine attacks west of Iceland ''but that does not mean they can- not be met"
 Unofficially, however, it was thought here that the sinking might shorten the debate in the United States senate concerning the repeal of United States neutrality act pro- hibitiops against arming merchant ships and entering war zones. It was also thought the sinking would activate the American wal production program.
 Regarding the U-boat which car ried out the sinking, the comment was: i've hope we sank the bloody bandit-Or what is even better, that the Americans did"

 Sen. Guy M. Gillette. D., Ia, who has usually voted with Senate isola- tionists, said the navy has a right to expect that the nation will stand behind it."
 T feel that under present law, in the absence of 8 definite prohibition from Congress, the president has a right to order the navy to any duty he thinks essential for national de- fense," Gillette said. Tt isn't a question of whether 1t is wise or unwise. The ship and its men were proceeding under orders they had to obey.
 "The men have a right to assume their nation will stand behind them. That does not mean I am endorsing their mission as I do not know what that mission was."
 Sen. Chan Gurney, R., s. D., said that the incident "clinches the ar- gument for complete and immediate repeal of the neutrality act" News Kept Silent

DEFENSE, LABOR
 STATUS WORSE
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D but that 1t could and had been worse.
 Speaking generally, is the strike situation better or worse?" 8 re- porter inquired.
 It is not as bad as 1t was at one time, replied the President, but 1t jS worse than 1t was recently.
 He explained that he had no up. to-the-minute figures on the ex. tent to which defense production may have been slowed by labor con- troverSies and therefore he was un. able to speak specifically.
 But he did agree that in some specific instances there had been q considerable slowing down as a re. suit of labor Stalemates.
 Board Spokesmen indicated that he would not call in Lewts or rep reSentatives of the seven major steel companies, which own the mines for additional testimony. Instead, he presented each member and alter nate with a 168-page digest of pre-. vious hearings before Q three-mar NOME panel.
