By the Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 14.-Praising the
toughness of the American sailor,
the British Press Association quoted
a crewman of the British corvette
Honeysuckle yesterday for the fol-
lowing:
Sighting a raft at midnight OH
Greenland, the corvette picked up
the 65-year -old captain OF an
American merchantmen. Hosting
him aboard, a seaman grabbed the
captains leg and found 1t stiff and
hard.
"Blimeyl He's frozen Stiff the
rescuer said.
That's all right, son" replied the
captain. This is the third time I've
had to swim for it, but that wooden
leg never hurt me yet"
Once on deck the rescued man
unscrewed the leg to have 1t dried
out, cautioning the seaman to "be
careful, there's $500 in it."

President Refers
To Great Britain
As 'Offensive Base

President Roosevelt put new
emphasis on plans for a second
front attack against Germany
today by referring to Great
Britain as IAN offensive base"
This significant reference
came in a discussion of British
production in the Presidents
quarterly report to Congress on
lease-lend operations.
After asserting that both
Britain and Russia so far have
produced more weapons than
we have" in relation to their re-
sources, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
And they are continuing to
produce to the limit, in spite of
the fact that Russia is a battle
field and Britain an offensive
base"

lease-Lend Funds
Being Used 10 Perfect
Sea Otter Vessels
President Reveals Bids
Have Been Asked to
Test Modified DESIGN

Lease-lend funds are being used
In an effort to perfect a shallow
draft cargo ship originally known as
the Sea Otter" President Roose-
welt disclosed today in a quarterly
report to Congress on lease-lend
operations.
A Government corporation
has completed tests for building
sample full-sized vessel of the Sea
Otter type, but of a modified design
known as the "Seamobile," and bids
are being solicited for its construc-
ton, Congress was informed.
1t was presumed that the Sea-
mobile design retains the advantages
claimed for the Sea Otter, which in
cluded such shallow draft that sub
marine torpedo would pass under
the vessel, and the use of gasoline
motors and other simplifications
that would enable it to be placed in
mass production quickly.
The Presidents report also dis
closed that several other special
projects" have been undertaken
with lease-lend funds in order to
facilitate delivery of war supplies
under the program.
Small Craft in Service.
These projects include the de-
velopment of dehydrated foods to
save shipping space and refrigera-
tion. and the building of various
kinds of small craft, such as harbor
tugs. coasters and coastal tankers,
small light-draft towboats of spe-
cialized design and large number
Of small wood barges for use in
shallow rivers.
'Lease-lend aid to be effective
must be delivered" the report
pointed out. I'm wartime deliveries
must frequently be made under con-
ditions of great difficulty, without
the aid of modern cargo-handling
facilities"
Some of the small craft being
built already are in service. and most
of them will be in service by next
summer, the report said.
Explaining the use of lend
FUNDS to "nnance the building and
testing of shallow-draft cargo
vessel of novel design, originally
known as the Sea Otter" the re-
port said:
Experiments on small sized
models of this vessel were not con-
elusive. Accordingly, it was deter
mined to build full-sized vessel
for further development, and lease
lend funds made this possible.
Tests Brought Redesigning.
"Tests on this first full-sized ship
brought to light defects which
called for redesigning. In order
that the possibilities of a vessel
of this type might be fully explored,

tinued It's help by financing the

cultural commodity a price therefor

President may provide for lower

as the 'Seamobile.'
The development of this type of

Directors, on which the Navy De-

corporation is owned by the Gov
ernment.
"Cargoes, Inc, has now completed
the necessary tests and engineer
ing for a tull-scale model of the
Seamobile, and bids are being
solicited for the construction of the
vessel"
The various special projects al
ready undertaken, the report said,
have pointed the way to an i'm
portant function which lease-lend
funds can perform.
War places high premium on
ingenuity" it added. Within the
Lease-Lend Act and with the use of
lease-lend funds there is ample
scope and opportunity for the test
ing and development of new ideas
that may help to win the war"
