SUB SINKINGS OFFSET PERIL

Seen as Shattering Plans Of Enemy for Offensive On U. S. Shipping.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (U. P). —Announcement of the sinking or

damaging of at least 14 enemy submarines in the Atlantic and several Japanese submarines in the Pacific was “good news” today to a capital that had Just received Navy Department reports of enemy submarine activity off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The bag of an estimated total of 14 in the Atlantic may have shattered an “impending” Axis undersea offensive aimed at slicing the United States’ supply and convoy Joutes, Secretary of Navy Frank nox intimated. He also said the Navy had “effectively dealt with several Japanese submarines.” His statement outlined a new policy on reports of action against submarines. Heretofore, there have been no announcements of retaliatory moves by the U. S. Navy since Presid nt Roosevelt ordered it to shoot-on-sight the Axis “rattle-

In L. A. Defense

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 (U.P). —One-sixth of the population of Los Angeles has volunteered for some form of civilian defense, the City Defense Council said today. Out of the 274,000 persons who have signed up, nearly 200,000 are in the division for the emergency care and aid for children.

Red Cross war emergency campaign now in progress was announced by the General Motors Corp. today. The company has allocated $33,000 of the total sum to Indiana—$7000 to the Indianapolis chapter, $4000 to the Muncie organization, $20,000 to the Anderson chapter, and $2000 to the group at Kokomo. Local chapters will receive their checks direct from General Motors.

The Navy has been aware for some time that enemy submarine activity in the near American waters was “impending,” Mr, Knox said. “The release of information of] attacks on our shipping, unaejcompanied by information as to wwhat we are doing to protect it, must not be construed by the pub- | lic as an indication that the Navy | has done nothing about it,” he explained.

Won't Tip Off Enemy

“I can assure the public that the Navy has already adequately dealt with more than one submarine which has sought to attack our ships.” He meant that the United States, like the British, refuses to tip the Germans off as to what has happened to submarines failing to return to their bases. An immediate announcement of the destruction of a U-boat would tip the Germans off as to the movement of a convoy or warships,

Santa Claus has helpers in the] strangest places. They aren't all little fat gnomes with pointed ears! and curly beards, either. Some are plain, ordinary working people, like anyone's mother and father. Many of his helpers work in the postoffice. Every once in awhile at this time of year, a letter comes through the mail addressed simply —“Santa Claus,” or maybe even “Sandy Clows"—you'd be surprised how many ways there are to spell his name—and when this happens, one of Santa's helpers gets to work. The letters go to the desk of Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker, where they are opened. There were about 100 of the letters on his desk this morning, addressed in almost 100 different ways. Many of the letters have regular postage on them, some are short a penny or so, and some don’t have any stamps on at all. But they all reach Mr. Seidensticker’s desk, for whoever had to pay anything to get in touch with Santa? Those letters which reveal real need, and which can be traced, are turned over to organizations which can take care of the request. Most of . the letters, though, are just run-of-the-mill Christmas _ requests. Some of them are attempts to in-| fluence Santa by friendly senti-|
