 Washington, Oct. 23.-(UP)-Ad- ministration quarters are studying plans for sending large-scale tech- nical missions to Russia, Iran and Egypt to speed deliveries of lend- lease materials and to insure their effective use against the Axis, 1t was learned today.
 The missions would:
 1. Arrange for prompt unloading and transfer of American supplies to armed forces in the three coun-- tries. 9. Develop transportation and fa- cilities such as depots, repairs shops and air bases.
 3. Instruct foreign troops in handling, assembling, maintaining and repairing American-built planes tanks, and guns.
 The plan calls for dispatch of American military officials to the three countries at once to make pre- liminary plans for a broader pro- gram in which thousands of Ameri- can civilians would be used, an in- 1OrmanC SalQ.
 Go By Way of Boston
 The plan for such missions was learned as the maritime commis- sion revealed that in the future all American shipments to Russia would go via Boston to Archangel on the White Sea. It was under stood that for the present no more American ships would go to Vladi- vostok in Siberia with war supplies.
 These developments were believed to be the prelude to an attempt to pour American war equipment into Russia for the Leningrad and Mos- COW fronts where 1t is urgently needed. Archangel is the nearest port.
 The problem of getting supplies to the Red army is most difficult (roy,tinYnd no po0o Al

Chief Marshal Timoshenko Ills Relieved of His Command
Britain Forced To Fight Critics At Home On Sending Aid To Russia
Must Smash Hitler Now or England Will Face What
 Russia Is Getting
By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS

(Un1teu Press Stam COfreSpOndent)
 London, Oct. 23-(UP)-The dis patch of British middle eastern armed forces and airplanes to sup port the Russian armies in the Ukraine was demanded in the House of Commons today as an official statement by Minister of Supply Lord Beaverbrook reported that Britain and the United States were making good on promises of war aid to the Soviets.
 Amid fresh warnings that dark hours and the threat of invasion were ahead of Britain, Philip J. Noel-Baker, Laborite, opened debate on immediate aid to Russia by urg- ing the dispatch of 8 British army from the middle east to hold back the Axis troops from Ukraine and CaucauSus regions.
 He spoke immediately after Beav- erbrook's statement had acknowl- edged that the situation in Russia was serious ard that Josef V. Stalir had informed Washington and Lon- don that Russian industries had been forced to move eastward.
 But, BeaverbrooISs said, the Britt ish and Americans were delivering the goods they had promised the Russians.
 Archbishop Asks Haste
 The Archbishop of Canterbury following Beaverbrook, made an irn- passioned plea for Britain to speed up and increase help to Russia and enable the Stalin regime to smash Hitler and "save civilization"
 "The sands of time are running out" he said. May God grant that this help will not be too late for this huge world drama we know what depends for every part of the world on whether Russia stands or falls"
 Noel-Baker conceded that 1t was not possible to open front in the west to relieve pressure on Russia.
 '"The frontier now is not on the Rhine but on the Volga and Don and of the caucasus is held until next summer the war is won," he said.
 Noel-Baker also said that the Royal Air Force fighters could best be employed in Russia if Britain de- sired to smash the power of the German air force.
 Beaverbrook' outline of the ex- tent of aid to Russia was made in the House of Lords as Commons de- bated possibilities of even more ef- fective aid.

 Reports Said Utterly Ridiculous

Iceland, twas done in accord. ance to the laws of war" They asserted that Secretary Hull drove America another step near CT war with his comment that the U. S. Neutrality Act should be, changed. What Hull actually told newSmen in Washington was that the President said the act wou d be as likely to get us into the war as to keep us out.
 The Berlin spoksman said no German subs or other overseas raiders specifically reported the sinking of the Pink Star, but mes sages were received telling of sinkings out of big convoy.
 Possible Challenge to U. s.
 Washington observers saw the incident, the first sinking of an American owned vessel since Roosevelt's sink -on-sight order, as a possible challenge to Am erica's newly defined doctrine of freedom of the seas.

 Preparations for Invasion Siberia

PEIPING, Sept. g t4) - De- spite the lateness of the season, which foreign military men say, should make Japanese invasion of Siberia unlikely, advices from Manchukuo indicate that the Jap anese are continuing prepara- tions there for possible hostil- ities. These advices mention that fresh Japanese troop movements at Harbin and Hsinking toward the Russian frontier, especially west of Vladivostok. Air raids precautions were also reported stepped up in the principal cit ies of Manchukuo.
 Shanghai sources said the ban on foreign travel to Manchukuo was enforced strictly and even Germans are unable to enter or leave. The Hungarian minister WIS reported unble to go to Hsink king to present his credentials.
 Unconfirmed reports from Kal gan said the Japanese recently re inforced the guards along the Outer Mongolia border road to Urga after the appearanceAthere of Soviet planes.
 Japanese-controlled C nese language press in both North China and ~Manchukuo appeared completely reversed in their at titude on the German-Russian war. The papers are now assert ing that Nazi victory is in sight.
 Observers said Japanese pro- tests on the alleged appearance of drifting mines in the Sea of Japan, could provide a pretext for Japanese naval action, if one desired. The protests are appar- ently unanswered.
