SAYS JAPANESE FEAR
 U. s. FLEET IN PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5 (P) - A Minnesota congressman who just returned from six weeks of duty at sea with the Reserve Air Officers of the Ma rine Corps Reserve, declared to- day that Japan is "deathly afraid" of the United States fleet when it is in the Pacific Ocean.
 The legislator, who holds the rank of colonel, was Representa- tive Maas. He remarked in an in- terview that some of the fleet had been withdrawn to the Att lantic but expressed the opinion that nevertheless the United Stat es forces in the Pacific remain strong enough to fend off any at tack against this nation and at the same time to keep open the supply routes for vital shipments of rubber and tin.
 Further, the congressman said he belived that the Western Hemisphere was in "no danger of Japanese aggression"

Berlin Asserts U. s. s. Greer Attacked Sub

BERLIN, Sept. 6 (49 - A Ger man communique declared, in connection with the case of the U. s. destroyer Greer that the U-boat fired two torpedoes at the destroyer in waters within the German blokade zone. The com- mun'aue asserted that the action was in self defense against at ts'cks, the said destroyer violat- ing neutrality and that the U- boats action was justified.
 The communique declared the incident proved that President Roosevelt has given the United States navy shooting orders and is now trying to provoke in- cidents to force the American people into the war.
 The communique said the U- boat coOander was justified be- causs ''he was not in a position to determine the nationality of the attacking destroyer" The communique described the incl dent as running battle, starting at l2:30 pm. Thursday, when the U-boat twas attacked by water bombs at 6231 degrees north, 27.OS degrees east, and was pur- sued continuously" The com munique said the engagement lasted until todward midnight" with the destroyer pursuing with water bombs, unsuccessfuily un- til then.
 The communique charged President Roosevelt, contrary to his statement, that he had given general orders to American de- stroyers not only to report posi- tions of German ships and U- boats but beyond that, to attack them," and that finally "Roose- welt, in this way is also trying with all the means at his dis posal, to provoke incidents in or fer to incite the American people into war with Germany"
 The location was given as about 200 miles southwest of Iceland.

 At home, the Germans felt the sting of one. of the wars most vio lent aerial assaults on Berlin, in which the Nazis admitted that 27 residents were killed by RAE b bmbers who broke through anti aircraft defenses and dumped high explosives and incendiary bombs on the Reich capital.
 The British Press Association sad the rad was with the heav- jest bomb weights on Berlin, since the war started. Besides fatalities, the Germans said, an undisclosed number suffered from wounds and feared that the death toll might increase.
 An unofficial German announce ment said that 3,853 Germans were killed in air raids on Ger may since the start on August 2 when RAF pilots found Berlin in shining bright moonlight.
