The Navy's statement” that the Salinas was hit one day before the Reuben James was sunk indicated that one battle of a submarine “wolf pack” against. the convo : lasted at least two days. This is n ‘an unusual occurrence. since m ern submarines can trgvel as f st underwater as the older freight steamers, and thé convoy must keep the pace of its slowest members. | . The German technique is to follow merchant ships for days on end, coming ta the surface at night to take advantage of their still. pe surface speed to send torpedoes in the heart of the convoy. The Navy said the U. 8S. World War type destroyer, Reuben James, was blown literally in two by a torpedo which presumably exploded the ship's gaging. This would

HARSHER TIMES DUE. SAYSF.D.R
Tells Civilians They Face Longer Hours in Defense Production.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (U. P.)— President Roosevelt, having warned civilians that they face longer working hours and harsher times, today plunges into another impor-i tant controversy affecting civilian] life—price control legislation. Mr. Roosevelt returned -from a long week-end at Hyde Park, N. Y., this morning and arranged a conference with his legislative leaders. In addition to receiving a report from them on ithe progress of the bill to revise the Neutrality Act, Mr. Roosevelt will discuss a House Committee bill which administration officials contend privately “emasculates the principle of price control.” Mr. Roosevelt made his first declaration that longer hours are in prospect for American workers last night in a statement ushering in
Waste Must Halt
* He said such sacrifices would be necessary if the American way of life is to be protected ‘against the “pagan slavery proposed by the. would-be dictators of the world. He proclaimed that “we shall preserve that genuine American way” of life, but warned that the time for half-way measures for: defense of. 1 “thas passed. He listed for Americans the cost of preservation of their freedoms: “1. In our daily lives we must halt the waste and' unnecessary use of critical materials required for ‘defensé. “2. We must work longer hours to produce the munitions. required 10 defeat Hitler. : “3. Each of us must be trained mn some task that is essential to our total defense.” It is not enough, he continued, that our Army and Navy are growing stronger for the protection of our national life; the civilian men and women of America must enlist in the defense eflort. .

SUN VALLEY, Ida., Nov. § (U. P) —Ernest Hemingway, the author, organized a jack rabbit hunt yesterday and he and his frien killed 1755. The rabbits. have “been destroying crops.

3 MILLION NAZ! LOSSES HINTED
Military Men Make Estimate, and Censors Fail To Keep Secret.
Copyrights, 1041, by The TO mes Axis : lesses in the Russian campaign have attained the staggering total of 3,000,000 men, one of The Indianapolis Times-Chicago|est Daily News foreign correspondents reported by trans-Atlantic tele-

dispatch from the neutral country in which he happened to be-at the moment; hence his report to the trans-Atlantic telephone and the

The correspondent believes that his iriformants are careful and wellinformed observers. What proportion of the 3,000,000 losses represents killed and seriously wounded and how many have been temporarily incapacitated or taken prisoner could not be determined. It is known that cold, disease and other factors have taken a heavy toll ‘of the Axis troops who naturally are less acclimated fo Russia than the native troops. -These - figures include not only
garian, Rumanian and Italian troops fighting in Russia. They do not include &Finnish: losses. Estimates of the total number of German troops under arms when the war with Russia began vary from six to nine million men. How many troops of other Axis nations have been in Russia is not known. . A month ago the director of the Soviet Information Bureau estimated German losses at 3 million killed and wounded, but neutral observers accept, both Russian and German statements about war losses with considerable reservation. On Sept. 19—two months after the start of hostilities—the German High Command admitted that 402,865 German soldiers and airmen
