| By the Associated Press.
Preliminary negotiations are under
way, it was disclosed last night,
looking toward an agreement TO
permit the British to relax their
policy against export of materials
similar to those received under
lend-lease from the United States.
Britain gave this country q COM
mitment against such exports in
1941. Since this county began re-
ceiving raw materials from Britain
in reverse leaselend, however, the
question of resuming limited British
exports has arisen.
The current discussions, informed
officials said, are along the line that
the United States will agree not
to export any materials similar TO
those received in reverse leAse-land.
At the same time, 1t was said,
the arrangement might be modified
TO allow the British to export some
goods when they have paid cash
for corresponding materials from
the United States.
Officials emphasized that the talks
are now only in the exploratory
stage and will not be completed for
six or eight weeks.

Southeast Unit Asks
Probe Of Pressure
In Housing Battle

| - request tTaJ congress 1nNeStl-
gate persons in high places" who
were accused of attempting to exert
influence on the Federal Housing
Administration and the District
Zoning Commission, was made last
night by the Southeast Council of
Citizens Associations.
Named directly by the aSsocia-
ton. in its adoption of a report by
Joseph H, Deckman, chairman of
the councils Housing Committee,
were Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Doro-
thea Rosenman. wife of Judge Sam
uel Rosenman, adviser to the Pres
ident.
Besides disputing stories written
on Washington housing by Mrs.
Roosevelt in her newspaper COL
umn, Mr.. Deckman's report sug-
gested that Mrs. Rosenman had
'interceded" with FHA on behalf
Of Smith g. Gottlieb, private con-
tractors, so that they could get pri-
critics for construction of multiple
Negro war housing units in Congress
Heights.
Asked to Visit Area.
Mr.. Deckman said that when it
was learned through the grape
vine" that Mrs. Rosenman had
taken an interest in the proposed
housing development in Congress
Heights she was asked to visit the
area. He added Mrs. Rosenman
held to her original viewpoint after
being taken to the proposed build
ing site.
Efforts to reach Mrs. Rosenman,
Joseph E. Smith and S. Dewey Gott-
lieb today for comment on the allie
cations were unsuccessful, since all
were reported out of the city.
The council also requested Con-
gress to auction buildings and prop
critics under the NCHA to private
interests, Expansion of the Zoning
Commission to afford citizens direct
representation also was asked.
Zoning Commission Stand.
The resolution on enlargement of
the zoning Commission, previously
adopted by the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association. urges both
houses of Congress to provide for
the addition of four members to the
commiSSion--one new member from
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, one from the Federation of
Civic Associations. one from the real
estate interests and one from the
citys building industry.
At present the Zoning Commission
is composed of the three District
Commissioners, David Lynn, archi-
tect of the Capitol, and member of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The council deplored what it de-
scribed as the taX-free aspects
of the NCHA properties as COM
pared with taxes paid by private
property owners. 1t also voted into
the record belief that efforts had
been made to mislead members of
Congress on inspection tours of
public housing in the District.
In lengthy report to the council,
Mr.. Deckman pointed out that
Senator Bilbos discovery that it will
be unlawful to occupy alley dwellings
in the District after July / has
brought the chickens of the NCHA
home to roost."
He scored NCHA contentious of
lack of money and obstacles brought
on by the war as reasons for not
having cleaned up District slums.
They had no intention of clearing
the alleys in my opinion because it
would have removed their excuse
for running to Congress every time

for their operations" Mr.. De4kman
asserted

The protective roof over the sub

The deserter asserted that crews

not counteract 1t with some kind OF
hope that would stir the people into
revolt against the Nazis, or ct least
into passive resistance as the Allies

Reich Deserfer Tells
OF Discomfort Among
Crews
By NAT. A. BARROWs,

ForeiEn CORRESPONDENT Of The Star and
chicsso Daily News.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 6.-The mo-
rale OF German submarine crews at
the moment shows no widespread
symptoms Of falling apart as 1t did
in,the World War Kiel mutinies, but
signs of unrest and disaffection
among the crews continue poking
above water.
The drastic reduction of the u
boat training period from two years
to six months is making itself felt,
both in the way skilled submarine
veterans react uneasily to the pres
ence of greenhorns among them and
in the way highly complicated un-
dersea vessels are handled.
Allied antisubmarine measures,
Furthermore, have made U-boat jobs
so extremely hazardous and un-
comfortable that foundation is
well laid for serious contemplation
about the futility of the war and
Nazi objectives.
Deserter Tells OF Discomfort.
From the lips of p German de-
serter now in Sweden, got the story
of political disaffection aboard one
of the U-boats which, he said, re-
Gently cruised along the New Eng
land coast, and approached New
York close enough to have q peris-
cope glimpse at the outer harbor.
The entire crew, he said, were
,nonparty members. except for one
devout Nazi who had been placed
among them, ostensibly as . RADIO
man. but actually as Gestapo spy
1--WE used to get together in the
forward torpedo room so that we
could talk quietly about what we
were fighting for" the deserter said
1--WE disliked that Nazi among us
and we ostracized him, never talk
ing with him except when we had
to.
Then we got into a bad North
Atlantic storm. He was on the
lookout post and got washed over
board. He managed to get 4 grip
on the side with his fingertips.
1--WE didn't rescue him. No, we
tramped on his hands until he had
to let go-and disappeared into the
sea-"
Captain Assailed Nazis.
In another U-boat on which the
deserter served, the captain openly
talked about Nazi stupidity and
argued that Germany should sur
render before 1t is too late, the
deserter related. A Gestapo in
former among the crew made a re-
port which quickly brought orders
that the skipper should be shot by
his own crew.
When we refused, the Nazis
tried to make other submarine
crews do it," continued the deserter
They finally got squad Of soldiers
for the job-and made all of us
watch it."
The captain of still another
U-boat went to pieces after a seven
hour Allied depth-charge attack,
sobbing, Mutt, mutt" (mamma
mammal, until the whole crew was
affected by his breakdown. He dis
appeared as soon as the U-boat
docked in Norway and its crew
never traced him.
Hitler Called Mad Swine"
The diving oficer of still another
submarine on which the deserter
served also disappeared when Nazis
learned he deplored the party sys-
tenn and berated Hitler as mad
swine"
The deserter said that as many
as "a U-boats had been operating
from Lorient submarine pens when
he first visited the French coast in
the spring of last year. The num-
