NEW YORK, Aug 29.-Three So
Wet seamen described today how
their ship, enroute from the United
States to Murmansk in convoy, was
hit directly on the stern with a
1000 pound bomb, lodged As other
bombs and reached port safely.
In an interview arranged by the
Soviet consulate general, the sea-
men, who received the Order of
Lenin and commendations from the
British Admiralty, said five men,
bers of the crew were killed and five
others wounded by the hit.
The Axis planes bombed in the
Barents Sea while submarines at
tackled the convoy simultaneously.
The hit on the Soviet ship destroyed
some Of the cargo and started a
fire, but the crew, including three
woman stewardesses, halted the
vessel and localized the blaze.
When we rejoined the convoy"
they said through an Interpreter,
the convoy told us we had been
given up for lost"
Capt. Ivan Afanasiev, 41-year-old
| skipper OF the vessel, said the at
tacks continued six days. Fourteen
planes were downed and about
three German submarines" failed to
return to their bases.

inmates. More than $4,000 Poles
have died in concentration camps
The Germans lack for few excuses
to kill Poles. In December, 1899, a
German was killed in a quarrel in
an inn in Waiver, village near
Warsaw. One hundred and 20 of
the Polish male inhabitants of
Waiver were shot without trial In
March, 1910, detachment of Polish
guerillas engaged the Germans in
the SWietokrzyskie Mountains. Three
days later the Gestapo burned eight
villages and murdered their entire
male population. The Germans
learned in Poland the methods they
employed in erasing Lidice, in
Czecho- -Slovakia.
Nation Partiti0ned.
For administrative purposes Po-
land is divided into two parts
Western Poland-Silesia, Poznania,
Pomerania and part Of central
Poland have been incorporated. into
the Reich. The rest is treated as a
colonial region, the government
general. Polish names are changed
to German, as Lodz to Littmann-
stadt. Poles are being deported from
the incorporated region and Ger
mans are being established in their
places.
In white book, the Polish gov
ernment in London has pointed out
that the Germans follow a policy
of deliberate impoverlshment of
Polish natural resources and eco
nomics. For instance, during the
first year of occupation, in terri.
tories not incorporated in the Reich,
three times as much wood was cut
in the forests as would normally
have been permitted under Polish
law. In some places entire forests
were cut down deliberately although
they protected sandy soil.
In the erection of the new order
in Poland, the authorities of occu-
patton have Systematically outraged
religious instincts and symbols and
persons. At Bydgosz, Dziewier-
zewno, Peplin and Tarnow and 9TH
er places churches have been de-
stroyed or used for stables. The
report of Cardinal Hlond to the
Vatican said $50 of the $50 priests
in Polish Pomerania were outraged
and thrown into concentration
camps. Protestant clergymen met
similar treatment. The Germans
reorganized the Orthodox Church
in Poland. Synagogues have been
burned down.
Yet the Poles in Poland are not
supine. They have an active un-
derground resistance. Almost 100
secret newspapers are published
keeping hot the spirit of resistance
and will to liberty. Information
seeps through to the Polish govern
ment in London. The Poles have
been fighting the Germans since the
10th century and apparently they
intend to keep 1t up As long as the
Germans provoke them.

YuIe Gifts for Men Overseas
Should Be Mailed Before Nov. I
Post Office Issues Special Instructions
On Weight and Complete Addresses

Sweethearts and relatives of mer
in the armed forces overseas will
have to do their Christmas shopping
very early if they want packages tc
| be received in time.
Christmas parcels and Christmas
cards should be mailed during the
period beginning october and end
ing November l, the Post Office De-
partment said today.
THE earlier the better" said Third
Assistant Postmaster General Ram
sey S. Black.
Special effort, said Mr.. Black, will
be made to effect delivery of all par
GELS mailed during that period in
time for Christmas.
Don't Send Food or Clothing,
Because of the urgent need for
shipping space to transport essen
tlal war materials, no Christmas
parcel shall exceed IL pounds in
weight nor should any package be
more than Is inches in length or AZ
inches in length and girth combined,
the Post Off>ce official said.
Both the War and Navy Depart
ments urge senders of Christmas
mail to restrict parcels going over
seas to the size of an ordinary shoe
box and the weight to pounds.
And please don't send food or
clothing, these departments request,
because the boys in the armed forces
are amply supplied with both. Post
Office authorities have taken care of
the food problem anyway, as they
prohibit the mailing of perishable
matter in Christmas parcels.
Also prohibited are intoxicants,
inf1emmable materials, including
matches of all kinds and lighter
fluids, and poisons. or other COM
positions which may kill or injure
another.
Parcels will have to travel long
distances in many cases and they
stand a good chance of receiving
some rough treatment, it was point
ed out. Accordingly, the department
stresses that it is absolutely neces-
sary" that all articles be packed in
substantial boxes or containers and
be covered with wrappers of suffi-
cient strength to resist pressure of
other mail which in long voyages
may be piled on them.
Subject to Inspection.
AS each parcel is subject to cen
sorship, the covering and wrapping
should permit ready inspection of its
contents. This does not mean, how

ever that packages should be loose
| ly tied. Here are further instructions
outlined by postal officials for over
seas mailing:
Christmas boxes should be in
closed in substantial containers.
| Candies in thin pasteboard boxes
| should be inclosed in wood, metal or
corrugated pasteboard.
Sharp pointed or sharp edged in
struments, such as knives and ra-
zors, must have their points or
edges protected SO they will not cut
through coverings.
Sealed packages of candy, cigars,
tobacco and toilet articles in their
original wrappings may be inclosed
without affecting the parcel post
classification of such packages.
Make Addresses Complete.
Addresses on parcels must be leg
ible and complete, down to the rank,
Army serial number, branch of serv-
ice and the post office through
which the mail will be routed, the
department stressed.
Parcels addressed to overseas Army
personnel should show, in addition
to the name and address of the
sender, the name, rank, serial num-
Der, branch of service, organization,
the APO number of the addressee
and the post Office through which
the material will be cleared.
Those for Navy personnel should
show, in addition to name and ad-
dress of sender, the name, rank or
rating of the addressee and the
naval unit to which he is assigned
or name of ship, and the post Office
through which the parcels are to be
routed.
Similar information is required on
packages going to Coast Guard or
Marine Corps personnel, the depart
ment said.
Not more than one Christmas
package shall be accepted for mail
ing in any one week when sent by
one person to the same addressee.
So long as it does not interfere
with the address, inscriptions such
as Merry Christmas" or do Not
Open Before Christmas" or Happy
New Year" may be written on the
covers.
The department also recommends
that packages of more than ordi-
nary value be insured. Articles Of
considerable value should be sent as
first-class registered mail.

1orpedoes Sink U. 5.
And British Vessels,
Raising Total 10 448
Crew Of American Ship
Picked Up Two Hours
After Sinking
BY the Associated Press.

6s the Associated Press.
The Navy disclosed Yesterday the
loss OF an American and a British
merchantmen in the South Amer
ican area.
The American vessel reported de-
stroyed by Axis submarine torpedoes
was attacked in the Caribbean area
early in August. The loss of the
two vessels raised the Associated
Press tally of announced sinkings
in the Western Atlantic to 448 craft
since Pearl Harbor.
Capt. L. j. Plesner of Algiers. La,
skipper of the American vessel, re-
ported he was carried under twice
following the crews abandonment
of the craft and his own return to
his cabin for ships papers, but said
he had been able to fight clear of
the undertow as the vessel capsized.
The captain had the entire, crew
on deck in life belts at the time
the torpedo crashed into the side
of the slow-moving ship. All life
minutes creWmen said.
There was no loss of life in the
encounter, the entire crew being
picked up by a British ship two
hours after the sinking.
Eighteen survivors from the Brit
ish vessel, which was torpedoed,
shelled and sunk several hundred
miles off the coast of South Amer
lea, related that As shipmates in
three other lifeboats still were miss
ing after having become separated
the first night following the attack.
The rescued seamen told of drift
ing for seven days before smoke
flares they set off attracted the at
tention of an Allied ship. The l8
were picked up and brought to an

100000 Poles Still Fighting Against Axis
Three Years After Nuzis Invaded Homeland

Three years ago next Tuesday
the German armies invaded Poland,
starting the war that now engages
every continent of the earth and
RACES over all its seas. One of the
great wonders of those three years
is that while Poland was overrun
by the Germans in six weeks, Po-
lands armies today are fighting in
the air out Of England, on the land
in the Near East and on the At
lantic Ocean.
Germany has subjected Poland
to more harsh treatment than any
of the other occupied countries in
Europe. In 36 months, reports
reaching here say, $4,000 men and
women civilians have been execut-
ed. This is the price Germany ex-
acts of the people who were the
first to choose war rather than ac-
cept the Nazi demands Germany
has made Poland a testing ground
for the Nazi New Order, and more
than 100000 Poles have been de-
ported to further this experiment
in politics. But Poland has no
quisling. The Germans do their
own dirty work
After the Polish defeat in 1899,
about $4,000 soldiers escaped across
the frontier before they could be
brought under the German author
ity. Today, although Polish army
was lost in France the summer after
q Polish army was lost in Poland
the Polish armies, fighting along
side the other Allies, are the fifth
strongest among the military forces
fighting the Axis-ahead of all but
the United States, England, China
and Russia.
The Polish force exceeds 100 OOC
men-30,000 in the motorized army
corps in England, 10000 in flyine
squadrons in England and $4,000
IN the Near East. Another $4,000
potential soldiers in Russia are tt

service.
