Washington, Dec. 1. (IP)
Mrs. Franklin D. 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."

Berlin, Dec. 1. 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.

Yesterday
He proceeded to put his policy
into effect, and the world revolu
tion was held in abeyance. 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.
