j "Goal Worthwhile"
i In fact, this copy, furnished
to congress in the nature of
report, constituted most of to
day's message. . Only six new
paragraphs were included.
Since the joint declaration,
congressional critics of the ad
ministration's foreign policy
have charged that the president
and Churchill reached an offen
sive and defensive alliance, bas
ing their rase in part on the
fact that the declaration gave as
a prelude to the desired peace
destruction of "the nazi tvran-
;ny."
rar. nooseven ignored xnis in
his message as he did also
charges from the same sources
that he violated the constitution
by having such a meeting in
dangerous waters aboard a bel

meetings was on the British bat

aboard the American cruiser Au

Senator Urges
Congress Probe
Gas Shortage
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 ' (JP)
A new England senator today
urged a speedy congressional in
vestigation, to determine wheth
er the east actually faces a gaso
line shortage, as the defense pe
troleum office sharply reasserts
is the case.
"I want to learn if there is
an actual shortage or if we are
being pushed around for psy
chological reasons," Senator Ma
loney (D-Conn.) told reporters,
saying he would ask the senate
commerce committee to act im
mediately on his resolution for
an Inquiry.-,
- Ralph K. Davis, acting pe
troleum coordinator, announced
yesterday that the long-predict
ed shortage had developed, that
usable reserve stocks had dwin
dled to an available storage suf
ficient for only 10 days, and that
the situation was perilous.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 UP)
Ralph K. Davis, acting petrol
eum coordinator, declared today
that "wholly and completely
false" figures intended to show
that Britain has an ample oil
tanker fleet were being circu
lated in this country, apparently
in a deliberate effort to confuse
the public.
His statement was issued, Da-
vies said, in reply to unofficial
reports that it was unnecessary
to transfer American tankers to
Britain.

Total red army losses of 8,
000,000 men In the 61-day-old
struggle were claimed by the
Germans, including 1,200,000
prisoners. DNB, the official Ger
man news agency, said con
quered soviet territory exceeded
335,000 square miles an area
greater than the entire German
rcich and its newly-incorporated
territories east and west.
Blows Unweaktned
DNB also distributed a state
ment re-emphasizing that the
war with Russia was being
waged "to gain pre-conditions for
the final struggle with Great
Britain" and insisting that aerial
blows against the British isles
had not been weakened.
Neutral observers interpreted
the statement two ways: First, an
attempt to bolster German mor
ale, now suffering devastating
punishment from the RAF; sec
ond, to quash vague rumors of a
British-German peace movement.
Challenging an official Rus
sian order foe a fight to defend
Leningrad to the death, the Ber
lin radio declared that if the
city were defended it would suf
fer the fate of Warsaw, which
was largely destroyed by nazi
Stukas and siege guns when the
Poles refused to surrender.
' The red army northwest com
mand admitted that Leningrad
was under "direct threat of at
tack," but the Russians expressed
confidence that the city's, de
fenses with an estimated gar
rison of 1,000,000 men would
hold.
Kherson Seised
In the critical battle of the
Ukraine, the Germans reported
units of the waffen S. S. (elite
guard) had seized the strategic
town of Kherson, on the west
bank of the lower Dnieper river,
thereby virtually sealing red
army troops in the Odessa sec
tor. DNB, the official German
news agency, said nazi siege
guns and Stuka dive-bombers
were raining havoc on Odessa,
inflicting tremendous losses on
soviet troops awaiting embarks
ti&n oh jammed quays. Great
fires were reported raging in
many parts of the city.
Amid this desperate plight of
the red armies in the Ukraine,
unconfirmed reports circulated
in European listening posts that
the Russians had opened or
blown up the great $100,000,000
Dnieper river dam, near Dniep
eropetrovsk, in an attempt to
stem the nazi onslaught.
U. S. Envoys to
Sail From Japan
TOKYO, Aug. 21 UP) Thej
NYK line apparently under for-1
eign office pressure suddenly j
announced tonight it had reserva
tions for 26 United States embas
sy and consular officials aboard
the liner Tatsuta Maru, sched
uled to sail Aug. 28 for Shanghai.
At Shanghai, most of the
Americans expected to obtain
trans-Pacific passage' home
aboard a United States transport.
Because of the unfavorable
"hostage" publicity arising from
the inability of United States na
tionals to obtain passage from
Japan, the foreign office was be
lieved to have exerted pressure
Iran Reply Not

LONDON, Aug. 21 UP) An

an oral reply made by Iran offi
cials to a recent joint British-
Russian complaint about the

ceived favorably here.
The Iran government s written
reply to a British note delivered
last Saturday outlining a plan to
replace Germans employed In
key communications industries
