No Lives Believed Lost in Sinking; Roosevelt Joins Hull In Condemning Attacks at Sea Inference Made That Submarine Was German; Waters Between South America and Africa, Near Equator, Scene of Sunday Night Raid WashinKton, Oct. 21 (U.P) President Roosevelt announced today that the 9,000-ton freighter Lehiifh, flying the American flaK. was torpedoed in the south Atlantic at 9 p. m. Sunday night. Endorsing the statement of Secretary of State Cordell Hull that uth acts are piracy, Roosevelt said that it was believed no lives were lost although the ship sank. But, he added, it was also believed several persons might have been injured in the explosion. One boatload of survivor Stalin Commands Moscow Defense Russians Holding Well In All Sectors; Nails Using 25,000 Tanks London, Oct. 21 HP Premier Josef Stalin has assumed personal command of the defense of Mos cow and has established his head quarters in an armored train at the front, British press dispatches reported today. It was asserted that Stalin was now personally the commander-in-chief of the Russian forces on the entire central front rather than premier. A Daily Mail dispatch said Sta- "U?"f ,. !Sf Jiitt familiar blue blouse, field breech es and top boots, the same uniform he wore when he fought the czar ists in the Russian civil war. Government Moved It was added that the Russian government under Foreign Com missar Viacheslav Molotov, had now been installed at Kuibyshev, 540 miles southeast of Moscow. The Dally Mail dispatch report ed that the Germans were using on the Moscow front as many as 25.000 tanks. 2,000.000 highly me chanized troops and about three fourths of the operational strength of the German air force. Adolf Hitler, it was asserted. had thrown in three new infantry armies within the last few days. It was indicated that the Rus sians were holding well in all sec tors. Military experts said every hour the Russian forces continued to hold, gave vitally needed time for the city s hundreds of thou sands of workers to build new tank traps and pill boxes which might make the difference be tween victory and defeat. Greater Aid to Russia Requested London, Oct. 21 IP A deputa tion representing workers of nine big London area factories left a resolution at Prime Minister Win ston Churchill's official residence today urging greater British aid to Russia and demanding that Viscount Halifax, ambassador to the United States; War Secretary H. D. R. Margesson and others al leged to be lukewarm in pressing the war, be dismissed from office. The resolution said that the workers felt grave concern at the critical situation in Russia. Hull Urges Speedy Approval Of Resolution io Arm Ships Washington, Oct. 21 HP Secre-1 statement which he read to the tary of State Cordell Hull today I senate committee, urged the senate foreign i,S committee to approve speedily a 6 of tnp neu,raiity acti whlch pro house resolution to arm American hibits the arming of merchant merchant ships, lest American "ef- ships. He repeated but did not forts at self-defense come too , emphasize, his previous conten . . jtion that congress should repeal 'a'e' j section 2 which bans American Hull was the llrst witness at hearings on the house approved resolution. His testimony followed a White House conference with congressional leaders, who report ed that they would press at this time only for the ship-arming bill rather than repeal of the entire neutrality act. Senate Democratic Leader Al hern W. Barkley of Kentucky em phasized, however, that there was "no hard and fast decision" on that point. The hearings were closed, but Hull Issued copies of a prepared has been picked up. he said, and two additional boatloads are being sought. The president said that the tor pedo was launched by a subma rine. He left the unmistakeabie inference that the attackers must have been German. The attack occurred between South America and Africa, close to the equator, Roosevelt said. He added that the ship went down nearer the southern bulge of Af rica than the South American coast. Its specific position, he said. was 8 degrees north latitude, 14 degrees west Longitude. Explaining that he had received the news of the sinking only three minutes before his press confer ence begin, the president said he was unable to determine immedi ately how many men were aboard the Lehigh. The president added an em phatic "ditto" to the week end statement of Hull that the United States government did not often write notes to international high waymen. - . Hull made that remark at a press conference, when he was asked whether any official protest was planned in the torpedo attack on the U. S. destroyer Kearny In the North Atlantic, south and west of Iceland last week. Roosevelt said that Hull also was dead right in describing such piracy. The situation now has arisen where any ship of any nation on the seven seas may be destroyed without warning, Roosevelt said, adding that this recalls the phrase first voiced during the first world war by the German ambassador to Argentina: "Spurlos versankt" "sunk without a trace." Roosevelt said the Lehigh had discharged her cargo at Bilbao. Spain, and was running empty to the Gold Coast of West Africa on a trading voyage when it was sunk. "Was It sunk in American de fensive waters?" a reporter asked. Roosevelt responded in stern tones that resounded throughout his office. (The sinking) took place on the seven seas, he said. U. S.

"The American diplomatic rep resentative dared to remind the government of Guatemala of the fate of Panama's ousted presi dent." the broadcast said. , Shios from belligerent ports. He testified that the condition of world affairs is such that "un less it Is promptly dealt with, ef forts at self-defense may come too late." "I am convinced that In the In terest of our national security the passage of the pending bill to re peal section 6 of the neutrality act is both urgent and Important," h said. "Inasmuch as section 2 1 not under consideration I will offer no comment except to sav that in my Judgment section 2 should be re pealed or modified."
