Germans Pour Fresh Shock Troops
Into Sta|ingrad Street Fighting;
BUS. Troopships Sunk Nazis Say
Destroyer Also
Victim Of Sub,
Berlin Claims

e' tn Associated Press.
BERLIN, tFrom German Broad
casts, Sept. 26.-The high COM
mand said today that German
submarines had sunk three
transports and a destroyer in an
attack in the North Atlantic on
a troop and supply convoy en-
route from the United States to
England.
Omitted States Navy headquar-
ters in London refused to COM
ment on the German claim.
The Navy Department in WASH
ington also said there was no
comment on the German claims.
German claims of large-scale
victories over Allied conveys in
the past have proved repeatedly
to be greatly exaggerated
In the North Atlantic" a special
Berlin communique said German
submarines destroyed the greater
part Of an American troop transport
destined for England.
They attacked fast enemy con-
voy consisting of only few large
passenger steamers which was
strongly protected and carrying
troops, munitions and war material.
"In the course of difficult attacks
and heavy pursuit fighting lasting
several days, they sank one two
funneled steamer of the 19.O00-ton
Viceroy of India type, which cap
sized after three torpedo hits: one
two-funneled steamer of the 17,O00-
ton Reina del Pacifico type, which
blew up following two torpedo hits;
one transport of the II 0O0-ton Der
byshire type, and one destroyer of
the escort.
Two other transport ships were
damaged by torpedo hits.
With these successes, our subma-
rines have dealt a heavy blow at the
enemy. The enemy transport fleet
has lost three particularly valuable,
fast units totaling 47,00O tons such
as are employed mainly for spe-
ciflcally important and urgent trans
port of troops.
I'm other regions of the Atlantic
from the African to the American
coast, submarines sank Il more ships
totaling $1,000 tons, so that the to-
tai losses OF enemy shipping in the
last four days amount to IA ships to-
falling 100000 tons"

With one eye on the Nation s

bread-basket, the House Agri-
culture Committee today sought
the advice of three top-ranking
officials in formulating legisla-
tive recommendations to avert
what Chairman Fulmer de-
scribed as "a rapidly approach
ing food shortage"
Representative Fulmer said he
favored drafting manpower to jobs
where the need was most acute:
Called as final witnesses in the
committees long study of the food
outlook were Maj. Gen Lewis B
Hershey, Selective Service director
Paul v. McNutt, head of the War
Manpower Commission. and Donald

ing subcommittee studying man.

Services Needs Studied.
From Gen. Hershey, who last week
told the committee % per cent of
draft registrants up to June were
from farm regions, but only 13 per
cent of men in the Army were farm
erS, Mr.. Fulmer said his group hoped
to get an idea of the future man
power needs of the armed services
and the effect on the rapidly dwin-
ding farm labor supply.
Mr.. McNutt, whom Mr.. Fulmer
accused of being more interested in
irdustry's needs regardless of the
effect on food production" was ex-
pected tc be asked about how many
more men, If any. industry would
take from the farms and whether
the ManpOWer Commission had any
plans for supplying workers to agri-
cultural areas.
Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Fulmer said, will
be asked for the information on
which he based a recent statement
attributed to him by Representative
Pace, Democrat. of Georgia, that
there was no danger of a food
shortage The statement which Mr..
Pace termed "a critical error, was
in direct conflict with the general
views and beliefs of committee men,
bers, Mr. Fulmer declared.
Subsidy Seen Necessary.
"As soon as we hear these three
men, who have so much to do with
the war program and the distribu-
ton of manpoWer," Mr.. Fulmer said,
the committee probably will submit
to Congress some definite recon-
mendations to avert what is certain
to be an acute food shortage unless
something is done and done quickly -
Mr.. Fulmer said drafting and as
signing manpower to jobs where
the need was most acute would re-
quire some sort of Government
subsidy to bring into balance the
pay of men assigned to farm work
and those placed in more highly
paid industrial jobs.

Invasion Of Europe

British Labor Leaders
Demand Answer to WiIikie
Coll for New Front
By the Associated Press

bS ii'e HssOeidtcO IeSS-
LONDON, Sept. 23.- An as
sertion by Gen. Sir Archibald P
Wavell that British and Ameri-
can troops would fight their way
onto the European continent as
soon as possible shared atten-
ton today with labor leaders de-
mands for an immediate govern
ment answer to Wendell L. Will
kie's call for a second front to
aid Russia.
Gen. Wavell, commander in chief
of India, spoke in New Delhi in .
review of the global aspects of the
war and voiced his firm conviction
that the United States, Britain
Russia and China would fight on
together to ultimate victory.
1T is quite certain that as soon
as ever possible both American
troops and ourselves will start a
second front but I can't tell YOU
when Or where" Gen. Wavell de-
clared.
It's biggish problem starting
on the continent. Well have some
casualties-very considerable-both
American and ours-before we get
back into the continent. But well
get back"
Strabolgi Demands New Front.
While Gen Wavell was giving this
assurance, Lord Strabolgi, labor
peer, was demanding in a speech
at Wimbledon that the Churchill
war cabinet reply without delay
to Mr.. Wilkes assertion in Mos
COW that the best way to aid Russia
was to open second front before
next summer.
Lord Strabolgi said he did not
see how the Labor party could con-
tinue 10 give blind support to the
Churcnul government unless mill
tary aid were given Russia at once
Emanuel Shinwell, Laborite men,
Der Of she House of Commons. said
he had seen greatly impressed by
Mr.. Wilkes outspoken statement
and expressed the opinion that Brit
ain ana the United States should
take the initiative immediately.
I'VE ale told by members of the
government that our armies are
well equipped, that our deplorab BILE
shipping losses are rapidly dimin-
lshing and that we have overwhelm-
ing superiority in the air" Mr.. Shin
we'll said. IF all that is true, what
are we waiting for?"
Opposite View Given.
The opposite view of the situa-
ton was given by Lord Croft, par
llamentary secretary of the War
Office. who said in a speech that
Britain already had fought on 13
mostly against great odds
and tnst she had performed great
services for Russia by aerial as
saults on Germany and by deliver
ing supplies to the Soviet in the
face of great difficulties.
Meanwhile, Russian hopes of
quick aid were given boost by
George AleXandrov, chief of the
Communist partys propaganda de-
partment in Moscow, who predicted
the opening of second front in
the near future.
The time is not far distant" he
wrote in the party organ Pravda
when our Allies will Introduce their
armies against the common enemy
1t will be an important and real
factor for the victory"
Germany's outward reaction to all
this second front talk was voiced by
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, who declared the Germans
would welcome an Allied attempt to
invade Western Europe.
