Reuben James (Continued from Page One) losses prove correct, the list of men who have perished in line of duty will total 121 since Aug. 19, the day the army flier was killed. Had Crew of 142 The Reuben James casualty breakdown showed that she was carrying officers and men in her crewa heavier complement than originally believed. The normal complement for a destroyer of her type is 122.

but she was operating under virtual wartime conditions when crews are usually larger. The navy made public the list of the destroyer's known deadW. Merrell. a fireman, first class, of Ardmore, Tenn. and D.

R. Olmstead, fireman, second class, of Olean. N. Y. and of the 45 survivors.

The names of the enlisted men unaccounted for were not released. The names of the seven missing officers were made public last Friday, when the number of enlisted men survivors was placed tentatively at 44 The Reuben James was on convoy duty when she was torpedoed, and that fact at first gave rise to hopes that the casualties might not be heavy. It was thought then that many of the men might have been picked up by other ships in the convoy, but that their rescue had not been reported because the ships were observing radio silence in U- boat infested waters. Many times in the past survivors of sinkings have been listed as missing for several days until the ship rescuing them reached the safety of port. Hope Abandoned The whole tenor of the navy's announcement, however.

was calculated to dash such hopes in this case. It was considered significant that the communique listed only one more survivor than the number given last Friday in the preliminary report of the torpedoing. Moreover. the fact that casualties had been reported in detail apparently was evidence that the need for radio silence had ended. so far as this particular convoy was concerned Ironically, the announcement of the heavy navy casualties came less than a dozen hours after the state department revealed that Germany had refused to reply to a request for damages in the case of the Robin Moor- the first United States merchant ship to be sunk by a U-boat this vear.

Altho no lives were lost, the sinking of the Robin Moor in the south Atlantic on May 21 was one of the incidents that helped contribute to shoot-on-sight policy finally adopted in mid-September for the navy's patrol of defensive waters. The state department said that the United States had asked $2.967.092 in damages for the loss of the merchantman, if payment was made in 90 days. This request was transmitted to the German charge d'affairs, Hans Thomsen. on Sept. 19.

Earlier he had been given a copy of President Roosevelt's special message to congress on the Robin Moor sinking to forward to his government. In his message Mr. Roosevelt charged the Nazi leaders with piracy and ruthless terrorism in their U'-boat tactics. Thomsen, the state department revealed, sent the state department an answer on Sept. 26.

saying that "the two communications made are not such as to lead to an appropriate reply by my government. The state department did not indicate what further action. if any, was contemplated in the case.

This new drug is sulfanilamide combined with succinic acid, a common chemical used to relieve spasms, as a stimulant and for other important medical purposes.

The succinic sulfanilamide has not yet been named, and while its nature was still a secret, interns dubbed it sulfa-mircale, a tribute to the fact that sulfanilamide has been the mircale drug of medicine. The new sulfanilamide was developed at Johns Hopkins university school of medicine and is in experimental use there. Its existence was revealed incidentally during a symposium on how sulfanilamide saves lives during peritonitis. Dr. Perrin H.

Long. Johns Hopkins who described it briefly, said that 50 far it looks promising.

(AP) "No words are sharp enough to characterize Washington's Ghetto methods whereby the government, with gangsters at its head, in Jewish shamelessness and with pitiful dilettantism tries to tell the Finnish people what to do." said a German foreign office spokesman today.

He made the comment when asked about Secretary of State Cordell Hull's announcement yesterday that the United government had advised she runs Finland's the danger of losing American friendship if she pursues her war with Russia. "The government of a democracy dares approach the government of another democracy, which is neither Nazi nor an adherent to the TriPower pact, and say 'You take your troops and dares intimate that if Finland does not acquiesce England will be prevailed upon to declare war," the spokesman continued. "This is not a Finland affair alone. It concerns all Europe. "The importance of this American attempt on Europe cannot be underestimated.

All Europe will arise in moral indigation against these lying. perverted gangster methods. America's demand is an act without parallel in Europe's political history. "The reply by the Finnish news agency is refreshing and inspiring. This agency of the people of only three and a half millions dares respond to the arrogant notification by a government with gangsters as its head, that a reply will be given if and when it pleases Finland."

Germans (Continued from Page One) wide, but said that German bombers would make even that route hazardous.

How many Russians actually are trapped in the Crimea remains a question. The Germans estimated that something less than 250.000 Soviet troops originally were stationed in the peninsula, but claimed they had captured more than 53,000 and had slain and wounded many more. German commentators were so obviously confident the conquest of the Crimea would be swiftly completed that they were looking forward to the next step in the campaign in the south -the battle for control of the rich Caucasian fields. See Ship Control Weakened They emphasized that seizure of the Crimea not only would give the German air force bases from which to attack the Caucasus but would weaken Russia's control over shipping in the Black sea. "With the Crimea stands or falls the radius of action of Russia's Black sea fleet," said the Lokalanzeiger, pointing out that loss of Sevastopol would force the Soviet warships to operate from the Caucasian coast.

The backbone of the Black sea fleet was said to consist of the 000-ton battleship Pariskaya Komtwo or three cruisers. muna, 8.000-ton vruisers and On the north shore of the Sea of Azov the Germans were reported still hammering at the gates of Rostov-on-the-Don, but there was virtually no news from the Moscow or Leningrad fronts. All news dispatches centered attention on the extreme south as the scene of the most important pending developments and the springboard for possible winter operations. Sevastopol Immobilized LONDON (P)-German bombardments were reported here today to have immobilized Sevastopol as a main base of operations for the Soviet Black sea fleet. A fortified city of 80,000 population, Sevastopol is major objective of the intensified German drive into the Crimea.

The invaders have reached a point close enough to harass the city with artillery as well as bombers. London military observers said, so that no practical shelter for refuelinarand servicing of the Russian warships which control Black sea shipping lanes. Without detailing exact positions, the German high command said yesterday German troops were rushing ahead from Simferopol, the Crimean capital 40 miles north of Sevastopol. Another Berlin report said a land assault on Sevastopol was expected to begin "in a very few hours." Russians insisted, however, that the defenders would take full advantage the rough terrain and military fortifications about British-Brench- the city, which Turkish siege for 11 months in 1854-55. Soviet warcraft moving out between the chalky cliffs of the Sevastopol estuary for another base probably would head toward Novorossisk, a Caucasian commercial port in 100.000 linked by railway with the menaced city of Rostov, on the Don, and Baku, a Caspian sea port.

Second Port Threatened Even Novordossisk. however, may lie in the path of a German drive. The second fork of Germany's forces in the Crimea is aimed toward Kerch, on the east coast only 80 miles by sea and land northwest of Novorossisk, in an apparent attempt to strike at Russia's Caucasian oil fields. Complete control of the Crimea by Germany also would furnish a possible by-pass to the east and eliminate the necessity for a decisive engagement at Rostov, where Axis armies have been halted by stiffening Russian resistance and autumn floods. On the Moscow front the Russians were declared in dispatches to London to be holding fast against renewed assaults and to have recaptured several villages in counter offensives.

One report said the Russians had brought up 200,000 fresh troops specially equipped and trained in Siberia for winter fighting. The Soviet information bureau's early-morning communique told of particularly fierce fighting yesterday in the Kalinin sector, 95 miles northwest of Moscow, the Crimea. German Losses Put at 90,000 LONDON Red (P) Star The today Soviet estimated army newspaper that the Germans had lost at least 90,000 soldiers killed and wounded and 150, planes and 250 guns in Crimea fighting. a Reuters dispatch from Moscow stated. 2 Women Settle Suit Over Injury FREEHOLD--Attorneys for Mrs.
