Roosevelt to day made her third visit to the Dies committee to hear testi mony by leaders of American youth organizations. Meanwhile, at a press con ference President Roosevelt re fused to say whether he favored continuation of the committee, investigating un-American activ ities. It is scheduled to expire in January but Chairman Dies (D., Tex.) has asked the house for a year's extension and also challenge the administration either to support the committee or declare its opposition. Mr. Roosevelt said continua tion of the committee was a matter for congress to consider. Congress has the right to set up a doze:i such committees if it wants to, he added. The first lady said she joined the committee spectators again especially to hear Joseph Lash, executive secretary of the Amer ican Students union. In Front Seat "I thought I'd like to hear what he had to say," Mrs. Roose velt smiled to newsmen as she took her seat among a group of young men and women on the front row. She showed up at the hearing In the house office building for the first time yesterday morning and returned again in the after noon when the American Youth Congress had its hearing. Under questioning by J. B. Matthews, committee investiga tor. Lash testified while Mr. Roosevelt listened intently that he joined the socialist party In 1929 and resigned in 1937 shortly after returning from the Spanish war. Asked his reasons for quitting, he said: "I believed that the socialist party was subordinating the in terests of the people as a whole in the interest of factional pol itical strife in the left."

W) DNB, of ficial Giy.nan news agency, re ported today that from the be ginning of the war to November 28, 194 vessels, totaling 735,768 tons both allied and neutral headed for Great Britain, had been sunk by German submar ines or mines. DNB said the sinking of 102 ships 52 of them neutral to taling 639,689 tons, was con firmed by German reports. Non-German sources, the agency said, disclosed an addi tional 32 ships of 96.079 tons total, half of them neutral, rep resenting 39.321 tons. The statement listed 150,867 tons of shipping as tankers and said the average was 7,500 tons per ship in other words, about 20 tankers. Not All Told DNB insisted the total losses must be considerably larger, however, charging that the Bri tish admiralty had not published all losses, especially those along the British coast. Authorized sources declined to comment further on the Soviet Russian-Finnish situation. They said yesterday , that Ger many was sympathetic to Rus sia." Col.-Gen. Walter Von Brauch itsch, commander-in-chief of the German army, left for the upper Rhenish sector of the Siegfried line to inspect troops. Today's army communique told of "feeble artillery and scouting activity" on the west ern front and said bad weather hampered aerial reconnaissance to the extent that four flying boats were forced by the weather to alight on the North sea. The planes were damaged but the crews were saved. Caterpillar Tract. Chrysler 53 84 14 Coml. Solvents 12 Curtlss-Wrlght 10(4 DuPont ; 177 Gen. Electric 384 Gen. Foods 453t Gen. Motors ., 62 '4 Int.

Some five years ago the astute Stalin saw another European upheaval in the offing, lie figured this would provide the opportunity to cause civil strife in the afflict ed countries, and thereby permit the spread of communism. Drive Revived So Moscow quietly revived the world drive. The recent Russian moves are a more start ling evidence of the trend of affairs than we have been used to, that's all. When Russia took over east ern Poland and made the three Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia virtual protector ates, it gained a strong strategic position and at the same time provided for the easy extension of Bolshevism in that area. Control of Finland, however, with establishment of military and naval bases in that country, was necessary to give Moscow complete domination of the en tire eastern Baltic. The Russians made their demands on the Finns, struck their first real op position, and yesterday's inva sion followed. Assuming that the Russians now have obtained what they want, they have established themselves in a powerful posi tion, either for offensive or de fensive operations. Germany's domination of the eastern Baltic is gone, and nazidom must be regarding the new situation with gloom. School Bus Ruling Salem, Dec. 1.
