 Play Great Part
 Whatever defense program the President may have, F,.Tley said "the post office employees will play a greater part in it than any agency of the government because you are in close contact with the people"
 Farley urged the postmasters to "give to him (Mr. RooSevelt) the same devotion and loyalty you gave to me; and if you do that, it will please me as much as if you were doing it for me"
 Farley arrived last night ahead of schedule and attended convention dinner. He praised Philip A. Gall lagher, Woburn postmaster, and unopposed nominee for president of the association. Farley said he would remain at the convention un- til Thursday.
 U. S. Rep. Robert A. Ramspeck D., Ga. told the convention yes- terday that when Charles A. Lind bergh or anyone else undertakes to sabotage the nations policy" he Is bordering on disloyalty to his country.

policy word was has not leaked out.
 Tn e general way, 1t is difficulty to see how the Reich could relax It's declared policy of attacking British shipping or cargoes intended for Britain without raising the question of Nazi prestige.
 On the other hand. nothing is clearer than that the German government does not want to speed United States entry Into the war. If for no other reason, this fact is clear because of 6 desire to avoid q bad psychological effect on the German public.
 The German nation Is locked in 6 deadly struggle on the eastern front and 1t may be assumed that German submarines and airplanes will try to avert any action that might provoke incidents with United States naval vessels.
 U. s. Aid To Late
 The typical NaSi view still is described as based on the argu" ment that the United States aid to Britain, by conveys or whatnot, arrive early enough or in great enough quantity ct affect the final outcome.
 In this view, the immediate ques. ton of the North Atlantic becomes secondary to the progress of the German invasion of Russia--es -espec- ially to the progress of the eastern front campaign in the next few weeks. And on this question, there is . very marked optimism in mill. tary circles.
 It is suggested that future Axis policy in regard to worldwide in. terests may be influenced greatly by the progress of these few weeks. (Again this dispatch falls to ela- borate but there have been sug- geStions from Axis quarters In the past, especially from Rome, that Germany would seek to set up an easily defended eastern line in Rus- sia before mid-winter and attempt to hold 1t while launching c new ofslaughter on England next spring)
 The Nazis feel that 1t is in the west that the Allies must attempt to defeat them, If they can, and that there is no reason for German anxiety even if there should be q 10-year siege.
 Nothing more concrete on the general situation is available at present.

southeastward on Karkov from the Chernigon area.
 There were great and active Rus- sian forces in the threatened area between Kiev and Kharkov. But military experts said that unless the Germans were stopped soon, Budenny would have to decide whether to abandon Kharkov and the entire Crimean peninsula in order to effect Q safe withdrawal to the broad Don river.
 It was indicated that plans for the Ukrainian offensive had been drawn Up three weeks ago at Q special German high command council with Adolf Hitler presiding, and that 1t might have been launched at least partly because the Russians were defending Len- ingrad 50 stoutly and Hitler thought 1t essential to win some great victory soon.
 There were reports that in addi- ton to making the pincers drive toward Kharkov, the Germans had now established number Of bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the extreme lower Dnieper river, and were in position at any time to start drive there for the Crimea.
 British At Tehran
 Tehrar, Iran, September 17 - | (UP)-British troops reached the southern outskirts of Tehran to- day as parliament met in special session to hear Grown Prince Mo- hammed Riza Pahlevi take the oath of office in succession to his fath- CT, the Shah, who abdicated yes- terday.
 London reported that Russian troops also had arrived on the out skirts of Tehran and that the Rus sian and British commanders would decide on the spot whether to enter the city or await developments in it's suburbs.)
 Pamphlets were distributed tc | Tehran warning the public to main- tain order and asserting that the government was now in close con- tact with the British and Russian government in order to maintain friendly relations with them.
 The abdication declaration by Shah Riza Khan Pahlevi, which members of parliament, heard yes- terday, was:
 "Because I have spent all my en- ergy for the country during the last few years, 1t is needful that 6 younger man, who Is able to do more for the country, take over the throne.
 T recommend that the crowr prince assume my place.
 From today the nation and ths army must obey the new king and give him the same loyalty which was given me"

 Anti-organization factions with in the c. o. P. are now making plans for 8 primary fight, aiming at a defeat of the leadership that will enable them to elect new town committee officers and members next spring and effect changes Tn the rules. Under present rules the Republican town chairman has al- most dictatorial power over district leaders, being able to appoint or remove them at will. The district leaders figure importantly because they make up the states of con- vention delegates.
 No word was forthcoming today about the intentions of Commis- sioner John J. Kearney, school board member, who is possible organization candidate for mayor. He said yesterday that develop ments within a couple of days" might clear up the situation.
 MT. Perriello has declined to an- nounce his candidacy publicly, but there is no question that he Is in the field.
 Telegrams Sent Out
 The text of the telegram to Chair man Bradley follows:
 Dear Sir:
 You have been accredited by the local press on your recent address before the local town committee with "extraordinary remarks" that shocked the rank and file of the Republican party and were not in good taste to be attributed to a new state chairman trying to build successful party.

Tn France, where 10 hostages were executed yesterday in reprisals for attacks on Germany army men, Nazi officer died of wounds suffered in mys- terious attack on the streets of Paris.

 May Be British Ships
 Berlin, Sept. i7.-(UP)-Ehe Ger man high command said today that German submarines operating in the north Atlantic had sunk six enemy merchant ships totaling 27,- 900 tons.
 (The high commands communique did not say when or where the submarines had torpedoed the mer- chant ships.
 (The ships presumably were Brit ish or operating for the British. Submarines normally do not report ships destroyed by them for some time after sinkings have occurred and 1t Is possible that the ships rec ported sunk today went down before President RooseVelt'S shoot first" speech last week.)
 The high command said that Ger man bombers last night raided Eng fish southeast coast towns, ports and several airfields. It was claimed that German planes severely" dam- aged" two merchant ships in low level attacks of the British coast. After Italian Troops

attempting to take the island of Osel, of the Estonian coast. The Red army also reported the capture of the Island of Rahmassaari, in Lake Ladoga, where some 800 Films were killed or wounded and others taken prisoner.
 There was no definite news of de- velopments in the Lake linen sec tor, south of Leningrad, where the Germans claimed to have destroyed or defeated l8 Russian divisions in breaking up a counter-offensive de- signed to relieve the siege of the second city of Russia. London was advised, however, that the Germans seemed to be striking eastward in this sector in an effort to cut the Leningrad- Moscow railroad near Bologoe. midway between the two great cities.
 British Bombs Falling
 Elsewhere in the war, the British bombed and started fires at Karls- rune, in the industrial sector of southwestern Germany, and Berlin reported that German submarines in the north Atlantic had sunk six enemy merchant ships totalling 27,000 tons.
 The sinking of the merchant ships did not necessarily threaten any new complications with the United States naval patrols. which are now under orders to shoot first to pro- feet shipping in the Atlantic zones as far as Iceland.

 Many Face Execution
 Today's threat apparently would extend the seizures to all classes of Parisians who would face execution in retaliation for attacks on Ger. man soldiers.
 "If the attacks continue, the oc- cupation authorities will take re- prLsal in er-increasing numbers and hostages will not be exclusively chosen from among Communists but from all categories of the Parisian population" the statement said. It was published in the press and on posters.
 The assailants of the German who died during the night, escaped. They had drawn up to the curb out side the Chateau D'Eau subway Sta- ton Monday night. They waited with the motor of their car running until the officer emerged from the subway station. Two shots were pumped into him, and the car sped away.
 A woman, the only witness, also has vanished. Paris newspapers have advertised for her to testify under promise of protection.
 Meanwhile, 1t was announced to- day that Germany has agreed to the immediate release of sick and wounded French prisoners held in German camps and military hos pitals.
 (The dispatch did not say what France has agred to do, If anything, in return for the concessior).
 First Group Released
 The first group released under the agreement will arrive at Com peigne on Thursday. The others. 1t was said, would be- released from military hospitals as soon as their conditions warranted.
 Paris newspapers published de- tails today of an attack in Paris on a German commissioned officer Monday night. An automo- bile stopped at the curb outside the Chateau DEau subway station and waited with its motor running. As the German emerged from the sub- way he was struck by two bullets fired from the automobile, which then sped away. The only witness I to the shooting was a woman who vanished and for whom newspa- pers are advertising, promising protection.
 There was speculation here as to whether political significance at- tached to the Kidnapping in Paris of the 20 year old son of Lieut.. Col Alfred Heurteaux, one of the found- CTS of the French Legion which backs chief of state Marshal Henri Philippe Petain. The young man was Kidnapped near the Eiffel Tower in daylight yesterday.
