The submarine which made the
attack was veteran of actions

voys in the Barents Sea. Once she
sank a large transport from out of
an enemy convoy and escaped de-
spite two-hour pursuit with depth

Twin of Bismarck.
The Tirpitz is the 35,000-ton twin
Of the Bismarck. the German battle
ship which sank Britain's battle
cruiser Hood and, in turn, was cor
nered and sunk herself by the massed
might of British air and sea power.
Until Soviet Information Bureau
bulletin disclosed today that the
Tirpitz had been twice hit in the
Barents Sea, around the North Cape
OF Norway, there had been no word
that she was loose to prey on the
merchantmen bearing Russia vital
war supplies from the United States
and Britain.
She was last located at Trond-
helm, in deep ford on the Nor
wegian west coast, after British tor
pedo planes spotted her last March,
evidently heading for an attack on
q Russia bound convoy, and chased
her into hiding.
Today's brief communique said
only:
I'm the Barents Sea one of our
submarines attacked the new Ger
man ship Admiral Won Tirpitz, Two
torpedoes hit the vessel and caused
serious damage.
I'm the Barents Sea German
transport also was sunk and an
other damaged"
The general area of the encounter
in the Barents Sea placed the action
almost at the conveys destination.
The Russian announcement fol
lowed Nazi claims that German
sea and air forces had sunk "a ou
of 80 merchant ships bound in {
convoy for Russia as well as
United States heavy cruiser, part O
a formidable escort including al
Allied battleship.
There was no hint in the Ger
man communicates, however, tina
the convoy had been assaulted b,
a surface raider. These reported
sinkings, all unconfrmed by an,
other source, were ascrlbed to al
and U-boat attacks.
Mention in the Russian com
munique that German transpor
had been sunk in the Barents Sci
and that another merchantmen hat
been damaged along with the bat
tleship suggested that the Nazi
might have been trying to pusl
through q convoy Of their own t
Northern Norway or Finland.

1900 Will Be Called
By Army Specialist
Corps by End Of Year
10000 Applications
For Membership
On Hand to Dute

The Army Specialist Corps will
assign more than 1000 men to
duty with the military forces
during the rest of this year, it
was announced today.
Under this objective Of the corps,
an equivalent number of officers and
enlisted men will be released for
combat service.
Director General Dwight F. Davis
disclosed that approximately 10000
applications for membership in the
corps have been received to date.
The 11,000-man objective was set
up after studies of the tentative
needs of the Army for technicians
and specialists. Appointments will
be made in the corps only for speci-
fled needs or to fill vacancies where
Army men on active duty are to be
released from administrative and
professional capacities for combat
or command duties.
/ Military Mail Speeded.
Secretary of War Stimson, who
gave out the Specialist Corps figures
at a press conference today, revealed
also that since June, 1941, planes of
the Army Air Transport Command
have carried more than 100000
letters overseas. constituting ap-
.proximately $4,000 pounds of mail.
This service has been stepped up
particularly since the War Depart
}aoly of re
that slow mail was not helping
Army morale.
On June 5 Secretary Stimson an
:nounced that microflmed mail was
being dispatched one way to soldiers
in Northern Ireland and England.
Now, he said, it is two-way service,
the homeward mail being filmed
overseas.
The same service is working from
Australia and to Cairo. he added,
and soon will be installed both ways
Its advantage as a cargo saver lies
in the fact that 5000 microfilmed
letters constitute only pounds
weight.
No Bearing on Troop Conveys.
Proposed extension of two-way
service from Cairo, he said, had no
bearing on suggested increases in
the American forces in Egypt.
Equipment of practically every
description is shipped by air when
the need is urgent. A typical cargo
of the transport command includes
everything from airplane engines,
medical supplies and food concen-
trates to radios and cigarettes.

Germans Admit Damage
At Wesermuende Also

BERLIN (F'rom German Broad

raided several places in the north
west German coastal district over
night, causing civilian casualties,
particularly at Welhelmshayen the
German high command declared
today.
Three of the attackers were listed
as destroyed.
DNB, official German news
agency, said also that Wesermuende

NAVY SAYS NEGRO DOCTOR

Harold J. Franklin of Jamaica, N.

mot temperamentally suited for

The information came in a let

tary of the Navy Frank Knox,
dated August %. This is the Sec
ond refusal by the Navy to accept
DR.. Franklin's application for a

"Does this mean," the NAACP

tempting to enlist in the Navy of

discriminating against Negroes.
The suit was brought by Lee Tur-
pin, backed by the Minnesota Ne
gro Defense Committee and a bat
terry of lawyers including Jonas
Schwartz, Charles Halpern, R. A.
Skinner, all of Minneapolis, and
Thurgood Marshall, chief legal
counsel for the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, of New York City.
Governor Stassen tried to Offset the
suit by issuing an order for the
establishment of two new COM
panies A. C. (All Colored) in the
Minnesota Negro Defense Force.
Turpin and his lawyers contended
that the proposal to set up a sep
arate company was discrimination
and the suit is still pending.
In the meanwhile Governor Stas-
sen enlisted in the Naval Reserve
and announced that if he is re-
elected for a third term that early
in 1913 he would resign from the
Governorship and enter active
service.
This action on the part of the
Governor makes it impossible for
the suit against him to be tried I'M
til after the duration. Early in this
year Governor Stassen appointed a
Negro, Samuel Ransom, st. Paul, a
major on his military staff, but the
Governor admitted that this ap-
pointment did not change the
status of the Negro as far as en-
listing in the Home Defense Force
is concerned.
To sum up, ladies and gentlemen,
this is the truly sad story of the
Negro and the Minnesota Home
Defense Force: An alien, who an
nounces his intention to become a
citizen can enlist in the Force, but
a native born citizen, who happens
to be a Negro, cannot enlist in our
state militia!
