WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-R-
Appointment of Edward r.. Stet-
tinius, Jr., as undersecretary OF
state is regarded here as a bold
move by President Roosevelt to
prepare American diplomacy for
forthcoming tri-partite meetings
with Britain and Russia.
The President, it is said, shows
by this choice that he means to
entrust most of the critical ne
gotiations now developing to men
of hard-headed business expe'
rience known as friendly to the
Russians rather than to more pro-
fessional diplomatists or to per
sons whose views toward Russia
are based on theological rather
than realistic considerations.

has been Lend-Lease admin
istrator, and W. Averen Harrl'
man, Lend-Lease expediter IN

Axis design was a plan of world
conquest"
The Fulbright resolution means
that from now on the President
and his Secretary Of State are in
structed to move within the frame
work of a public opinion which
recognizes that the security and
the peace of the United States re-
quire agreements with other ma
tons. In seeking these agree
ments the President will now be
doing what the people through
their representatives have directed
him to do.
It follows that as he brings
specific agreements to Congress,
the question will be whether the
opposition is constructive, or is
obstructive and destructive, wneth-
err it is trying to carry out the
popular will, whether it is criti-
Ching in order to improve or to
destroy. This resolution does not
relieve the Senate or the House
of its duty to examine the particu-
lar measures. 1t is no blank check
to the Executive. But it reasserts
the historic right of the whole

Howell said.
Typical examples of the cases
handled during the month we're:
Through the help of the Home
Service department workers, a
young mother and her small child,
left stranded in Wilmington when
her husband was transferred over
seas, was returned to her rela-
tives in the west. The problem
was rendered more acute by the
fact that the mother spoke little
English and by the fact that she
had only made one train trip pre-
viously.
Needed financial assistance was
rendered to serviceman and his
wife, both from a distant state,
after the death OF their baby boy
in a Wilmington hospital.
Speed in handling case prob
lens is one of the most important
factors, Mrs, Bluethenthal said.

Three Nazi Battleships
Are Reported Sabotaged

LONDON, Monday, Sept. ~
-(R-Three German capital
ships, the Tirpitz, Scharnhorst
and Luttzow, are reported to
have been sabotaged by their
own crews in the Alien ford
or Norway following disclos-
ure of the surrender of the
Italian fleet, a Reuters dis
patch from Stockholm said to-
day.
The dispatch contained no
further details.
The Tirpitz, completed in
1941, is a battleship of more
than 10000 tons mounting eight
15-inch guns. The Scharnhorst,
completed in 1889, is a 10000
ton battleship mounting nine
11-inch guns. The Luetzow,
completed in 1888, is the for
mer pocket-battleship Deutsch-
land with a displacement Of
10000 tons and carrying six
11-inch guns.
The Alien ford is on the
northern tip of Norway near
the North Cape and the Arctic
ocean. 1t Is near the town of
Hammerfest.

quoted by Reuters said:
"There can be no doubt
that detachments of Hitler

The Russians swept up
more than 1926 more villages
on all fronts, a bulletin said.

ter overcoming enemy resist
ance, threw the remnants of

The Russians said they killed
600 Germans trying to stem their
plunge toward Kiev, battering down
strong enemy counter attacks
launched at Brovari, 10 miles to
| the east.
Berlin's communicate telling Of
Russian crossing at undisclosed
river points said the Red army
units had been repulsed, but did
not say they had been hurled back
to the eastern bank.
The Moscow communique, re-
corded by the Soviet monitor,
merely announced the Russians

Thus the waning battle over the
fathers draft seemed likely to be
followed by a subsidy flareup left
snouldering when Congress went
home in July after extending the
life of the CCC to January l..
The draft question will come
before the Senate Tuesday with
indications that the Wheeler bill
to postpone induction of pre-Pear
Harbor fathers until after Janu
arv will be relegated to a mill
tary committee pigeonhole atel
two or three days of furious a.
bate.
Once this is out of the way, the
Senate is expected to turn It's at
tention to the subsidy issue.
Senator Aiken (R-VD, mem
Der of the Agriculture committee,
told reporters he thought the Ad-
1ninistration "simply is trying to
drive in a wedge" for food SUBJ
sides in its projected new pro-
gram.
This program would envision
use of about S5OO,O0O, 900 in exist
ing CCC funds, plus the new
grant, for price-supporting crop
loans, an unestimated amount OF
direct subsidies, and to cover
losses on government resale OF
commodities.
Aiken said it is his belief that
a full-bloWn subsidy program to
keep all food prices down would
cost from $4,000, 100000 to So, 000,-
100000 yearly.
Il think Mr.. Jones will need a
better story than he was able to
produce in support of the milk
subsidy before he gets approval
Of the program from Congress, "
Aiken said.
Explaining that he was not OPP
posed to all subsidies, the Yer
mont senator declared he would
back the price support program
under which CCC would buy in a
Sagging market and sell at loss
to increase production of food
stuff.
That portion of the proposal
seems likely to meet with gene
raj approval in the Senate, al
though it has some opposition in
the House.

gram calls for no additions to

On the German left flank, the
Spanish dispatches said, Allied
possessions of such Balkan adriatic
ports as Split and Susak and the
naturalization of Fiume and Trieste
through Yugoslav guerilla activity
would afford protection for Allied

All German efforts to organize
