| Suggests Pilots Use Radio Less
Ai + WASHINGTON. ‘Oct. 9 (U. P). #~Civil Aerongutics Administraor Donald H. Connolly has asked all airplane pilots to reduce the number of radio ‘messages they #end, as’ airways communications facilities are becoming overtaxed.
#' Mr. Connolly said air-wave fa-
cilifies were particularly crowded ‘at points where there are training activities. “A great many requests are being received which could be eliminated if pilots would listen to the
schedtiled broadcasts rather than
make: calls for weather information just. after weather ‘reports have been

"Prior to'the reading of. the President's message, Secretary of State Cordell Hull ‘said: ‘he osidere it} Broa and 1 ” that action be taken quickly oy change the Neutrality Act, including repeal of.

‘|dicated that.that matter may be de-

with arms,” the President said. “We are faced not with the old type of. pirate but with the modern piratgs of the sea who travel beneath the surface or on the surface or in the air, destroying. defenseless ships without warning and without provision fof ‘the ‘safety of the passengers and crews.”
Most of Goods Delivered
Mr. Roosevelt said that as the United States approaches full production for the enemies of -Hitler it will become inereasingly necessary to permit American ships to go anywhere under the protection of their own guns aid their own flag. That would require repeal of Section Two of the act. “I believe that it is essential to the proper defense of our country that we cease giving. the definite assistance which’ we are now giving to the aggressors,” he said. “For, in effect, we are inviting their control of the seas by keeping our ships out of the ports of our own friends. “Most of. the vital goods authorized ‘by the Congress are being delivered.

The High Command reported the destruction of three Russian armies in the Vyazma sector, 130 miles from and military séurces said advance units were ‘pushing still closer to the Russian capital.

U. S. Has Vital Interest

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— United States officials from Secretary of State Cordell Hull down expressed greatest interest today in the ‘coup d'etat in which President Arnulfo Arias fled the Panamanian republic which straddles the vitally important Panama Canal defense zone, Mr. Hull said he had no tangible facts on the Panama uprising. When asked whether the United States viewed the situation seriously as affecting United States defenses, he responded that the question was one that relates to the whole PanAmerican movement and. that: he wouldn’t undertake to pass judgment in the absence of more definite facts. The State, War and Navy Departments were seeking to obtain first hand information .as quickly. as possible, Aside from the importance of the Canal’ itself, official interest ‘centered on the fact that 104 Americanowned ships are registered under the Panamanian . This was taken to permit the vessels to be used in the shipment of supplies to the British and their allies with- | out regard to combat Zones from

as predicted by the Germans, is not necessarily in prospect. A good general allows for the possibility of defeat and maps his plans for retreat in the best possible order. So, even if defeated, Timoshenko may be able to withdraw a sizeable remnant of his forces tothe east. That would imply a Russian stand in the Urals, although it would be almost a hopeless one if Hitler overruns all- of European. Russia.
