Guffey Asks Campaign
OnIy on Domestic Issues

Declaring the political campaign
should be waged on domestic issues
alone, Senator Guffey of Pennsyl-
yania, chairman Of the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee,
said today:
Let us have a brief campaign.
Honest and sincere discussion of
local issues is the only paramount
dividing line between Democrats
and Republicans). Denunciatory
personal accusations, questioning of
character, motives or loyalty Of the
candidates should be eliminated"
Senator Guffey insisted this was
no time Ito put on an exhibition OF
national disunity, political or other
wise" and that name calling will
have no place in the coming sena-
torial campaigns.
Creating dissension and dis
unity will only play into the hands
of Hitler and the Democratic party
will not do business with Hitler or
his colleague, Hirohito," he added.
The loyalty of the candidates
under the Democratic standard cam
not be questioned. The thought up
permoSt in the minds of Americans
today is to give support to the Presi-
dent. Winning the war is our first
thought and haranguing and fault
finding have no place in our politi-
cal activities"

An increase in monthly re-
ceipts Of scrap iron and steel by
consumer plants was announced
today by Paul C. Cabot, deputy
director of the War Production
Boards Conservation Division.
Characterizing this as "the en-
couraging feature of the scrap
drive Mr.. Cabot cited figures to
show that receipts of scrap iron and
steel by consumer plants leaped
from 1859, 900 tons during January
to 100000 tons for July.
Warning that Americas blast fur
naces will be forced to curtail pro-
duction this winter unless the peo-
pie do IAN exceptional job" in COL
lecting scrap iron and steel this
autumn, Mr.. Cabot called on the
Nation to supply 100000 tons of
scrap to steel furnaces by the end
of the year.
He urged the people to strive hard
for this figure under the leadership
OF their newspapers and in cooper
alton with salvage committees and
other community groups.
Collection Greatest Problem.
Mr.. Cabot said this was necessary
to carry the steel plants through
the winter, when collections nor
mally fall off.
Only half this amount is now in
hand, he added.
For the last five months, Mr..
Cabot pointed out, scrap stock piles
have been steadily rising after many
previous months of continuous de-
cline, and it has been estimated that
the necessary quota can be met 'if

Three More Ships Hit
In Russian-Bound
Nazis Say
Claim Follows Assertion
80 Merchant Vessels in
Group Had Been Sunk
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN (From German Broad
casts, Sept. 21.-The German
high command, said today that
Nazi airmen hit three more ships
yesterday out of a big Russian
bound American and British
convoy in which it claimed pre-
viously that 38 merchant ships,
totaling 100000 tons, were sunk
and six accompanying warships
destroyed or damaged.
The Nazi war bulletin said this
latest action occurred in Dvinskaya
Bay, near the Soviet port of Arch
angel. Both German planes and
submarines were declared to have
taken part in the running fight
starting a week ago and covering
hundreds of miles of Arctic waters.
(There was no confirmation of
these enemy claims from any
Allied source)
In yesterdays attack, which the
Germans said was against the re-
mainder of the convoy" three YES
sells were declared hit several times
by Nazi fighter planes despite un-
favorable weather.
Fanfare of Trumpets.
Only battered remnants of the
convoy, which consisted originally
of As freighters and tankers, escaped,
according to an announcement by
the German high command broad
cast yesterday over the Berlin radio
with fanfare of trumpets.
The announcement declared the
battle represented the second great
victory won by German forces on the
northern convoy route, recalling
previous NaZi communicates report
ing IS vessels in a 3S-ship convoy
had been sunk in the same waters
between July 2 and 7.
(The German version of the
July convoy battle has been
termed grossly exaggerated by
the British)
Tabulations released by German
authorities after the high COM
mand's announcement said the Nazi
armed forces had destroyed a total
of 100000 tons of enemy shipping
since the start of the war. The
tabulation, which gave Allied ship
ping losses for September as $4,000
