 Submarines

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Saying American merchant vessels "are be- ing sunk by brutal and murderous doctrine of unrestricted submarine warfare" Senator Tom Connally D.-Texas), today told the Senate:
 AS a proud nation the United States must claim it's rights to the seas"
 The Chairman of the Foreign Re- lations Committee, Connally opened debate on legislation granting Am erican merchant vessels the right to carry arms and sail to any port in the world.
 Testimony was made public which Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Ad- miral Harold R. Stark, Chief of the Navy Bureau of Operations, and others gave before closed sessions of the committee last week. Hull testified "the United States some where may get into the real war, " but meanwhile is pursuing course dictated by the law of self defense.
 Stark expressed the view that more than half of the successful attacks against merchantmen in the current war have been aimed at unarmed ships.
 Democratic leaders discussed the measure with the President this morning and were reported to have told him the bill probably will be passed in less than two weeks.

KUIBYSHEv. Russia. Oct. 27.-- Fighting under mo retreat" orders, the Red Army today is reported to have driven across the Mara River in a counterattack south of Moscow and retaken a village.
 The heaviest action was concen- trated on the Russian left wing and southern approaches to the capital as the Battle for Moscow became increasingly violent.
 General Zhukov. commander of Russia's Central Front armies de- lending Moscow, issued an order to troops which said.
 Do not step back! Halt the Fascists. Do not let them reach Moscow. Every man must fight like ten"
 Russia's immediate vital concern continued to be the twin German drives on Moscow and Rostov. gate way to the Caucasus in the south The harried Red Army was reported to have yielded ground but strong defenses still barred the Germans from their goals.
 The German command said Rus sian counterattacks to halt the Ger man advance on Rostov, industrially rich center of the Donets Basin, failed completely. The Germans gave Italian troops major credit for counter action against the struggling Soviet attackers.

Town Thrown Into Dark ness by Short Circuit

KETCHTKAN. Alaska, Oct. 27.-- Apparently caused by short circuit in the power house, Ketchikan was ''blacked out" at 7.30 o'clock Satur- day night.
 About one-third of the town was relighted two hours later by power from the New England Fish Com pany's plant but the remainder of the town was without power for cooking, heating water, operating oil furnaces and lights until g o'clock Sunday morning and then only half enough power was being generated to supply the normal needs. As a result some furnaces and compress sors failed to operate.
 The utility company expects to restore normal service sometime to- day.

WASHINGTON = White House advisers have noticed a significant change in the President during the present period of tenseness with Japan. It may be the natural cau- tiousness of any man upon whose shoulders rests the major desicion of war Or equally important, It may be the very cautious advice of Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Op- erations.
 At any rate, the President, dur ing recent days, appears to be put ting the brakes on any bellicoSe talk about the Far East. A year or so ago. he was just the opposite, completely confident the Japanese were boxed in, cocksure his Navy would have 'em on the run in any showdown.
 But last week Admiral Stark painted a much more pessimistic picture, and the State Depart ment, always bit appeasement- minded. chimed in with him.
 However, by no means everyone in the Navy agrees with Admiral Stark. Younger naval officers coun- ter Stark's argument that the U s. Fleet is scattered all over two oceans by pointing out that the British now have seven big war units (many of them battleships) on the west coast which could be rushed into any battle of the Pa cific.
 And to the State Departments argument that every month of

With gesture the digger silenced

HAVE YOU PLAYED IT?
by Oswald Jac0bY

The general idea is that each player
in turn must silently act out phrase
or slogan so clearly that the members
of his team can state it in the shortest
possible time.
The first step is to split the party
up into teams. Wives VS.. husbands,
say. Each team retires into a corner
to cook up familiar phrases which the
other team is to act out. The real
trick is to pick simple ones which are
very difficult to dramatize.
Each team makes up one phrase
for each member of the other team.
Then the captain of each team takes
the phrases and gives one to each
opponent. .
Now the contest begins. The mems
team, let's say, has lost the toss and
therefore has to 60 first. Jones volun-
teers to start for his side
While Jones gesticulates and grim
aces, one of the women holds watch
to time him from the beginning of his
performance until one of his team
mates guesses the phrase His time
is written down, and man then times
a woman opponent.
The two teams alternate until each
player has acted out his phrase. That
team wins which takes less time to act
out and guess the slogans.
You'll find that you become skillful
in a very short time. Some groups
allow signals to represent words or
ideas which are often used in phrases,
but in most games all such aids are
vigorously barred. That gives the ex-
perienced player less of an advantage
over the novice.
Most of your fun, when you're
acting, comes from selecting the best
method and from putting on good
performance. But it's just as impor-
tant to steer your teammates care
fully.
Whenever somebody makes a sug-
gestion that may lead to the answer,
smile and beckon quickly to signal en-
couragement. Give them a stop signal
when they begin to wander off the
right track. Prompt signals some
times get great deal faster results
than a good act.
