Naxi accounts claimed, however, that deapits the ferocity of the fighting the Russians repeatedly have been driven off and that Ger¬ man artillery batteriee now are pounding vital electric plants and arms factories in besieged Lenin¬ grad.
The offlcial DNB news agency re¬ ported that strong German bomber forcea todsy carried out rolling at¬ tacks on Soviet troops encircled in ths Leningrad area and heavily attacked Russian artillery posi¬ tions. Extrsordinsrily high casu- altlss, It was claimed, wera in¬ flicted by successive attacks en closely-packed troop concentra¬ tions. Say IVeops Can See City
A Nasi propaganda company re¬ porter claimed that German troops outside Leningrsd are so close that, from the top of a hill, they can see the city's tall radio masts and factory chimneys,
(Radio Helsinki broadcast todsy that Leningrad is completely en¬ circled and isolated and that the populace is fleeing. Other Hel¬ sinki reports indicated great fires are sweeping the city. Authorised Nasi quarters i« Berlin said they had no Information regarding thesa  reports.)
. A Nazi military spokesman char¬ acterised the Russian defenders ef Leningrad ss "very hard pressed" and said thst virtually all rail and, road connsctions to the city now have been choked by the tighten¬ ing ring of German and Finnish attackers.
So far as is known here the only communication between Leningrad and the rest of Russia now is tbe single rail line leading to Vologda, to the southweat.
The Germans were aald to be working their way into inner de¬ fense lines and to have captured a series of vsry strong Russian de¬ fenses, which are being held de¬ spite repssted counter-attacks by several Russian  divisions,

Hitlefs Propaganda Agency Tells People President Wants War But Fails to Explain Why Sub Came to Surface if Pursued; Crew of Greer Think it Was Hit; Berlin Praises U. S, Isolationists
By FREDERICK V. OECHSNER
Berlin. Sunday. Sept. 7 (UP)—The entire press led by .\^oif Hitler'8 own N«zi part> organ todsy told tlie German people that President Roosevelt, determined to plunge the L'nited States into war against them, had ordered the De¬ stroyer Greer to attack a German submarine off Iceland.
"U. S. Destroyer attacks German U-Boat in blockade ^rea!" the Sunday morning headline of Hitler's Voelkischer Beobachter said. It was echoed by all other newspapers in angry, inspired chorus.
The outbursts of the newspapers followed an official alle¬ gation that Mr. Roosevelt has launched the United States on a course of 'shooting incidents" in an open attempt to provoke war. The statement admitted that a Nazi submarine had fired on the Destroyer Greer but only, it was insisted, after tiie Greer had attacked first.
(In Washington, the U. S. Navj- reiterated its charge that the Greer had reported itself attacked by a submarine and
  then launched a counter-attack. It said    no    further    comment

The Orser incident Saturday brought an official Nasi statement, admitting that a German sub¬ marine flred torpedoes at the American warship but charging that these wera in reply to an at¬ tack launched by ths Orser on the U-boat, To Hunt Dewn Sube
In Waahington and at Hyde Park where President Roosevelt is spend¬ ing the weekend, the Naai charges wers met with reiteration of previ¬ ous statements that the Greer in¬ cident was provoked by tha Nasi submarine's action in discharging two torpedoea at.the Oreer.
It was IndicaUd plainly that ordera to Amsrican warships to hunt out and "sliminaU" the Nasi submarine which fired the tor¬ pedoes still are In effect There be¬ ing no particular manner In which an individual Nasi U-boat ceuld be identified, these ordera aeemed to make certain that any Oerman sub¬ marines in the American search¬ ing area can be expected to meet with U.S. attack.

they, too, could see Leningrad's chimneys from the Ksrelian Isth¬ mus and also the fortifications of Kronitadt, the Russisn naval base outside Leningrad.
The Luftwaffe was attacking the Leningrad defenses in waves but Moscow claimed thnt the Red Army and People's Army defend¬ ers had smashed bsck thr Ger¬ mans at several points and inflict¬ ed heavy Insse* on crack Nazi air units at advanced bases near the front.
Moscow reported that crack units of Marshal Semyon Budenny. op¬ erating in the Ukraine, had flung a bridgehead arroon the lower Dnieper, that three Nazi division!, had been smashed in futile at¬ tacks on Kiev's approaches and that four Rumanian divisions have come to grief on the defenses of Odessa,
Berlin reports indicated much the same situation, admitting the ferocity of Soviet counter-attacks and describing in detail the meth¬ ods of the Russians in mining and defending the treacherous swamps and bogs around Leningrad. BriHah Mora Active
The British continued to display increasing activity in the Middle Bast, reporting sinking of two more Italian ships In the Medi terranean and hitting hard by air at Axis bases in North Africa. This may be preliminary to an offensive against the German Italian legion in Libya.

ACE NAZI ECONOMIST ARRIVES IN TURKEY
Istanbul, Sept, A. (UP)—Dr. Karl Clodius, Germany's ace economic expert, arrived todsy to negotiate a new trade part whereby th Reich would purchase all of Turkey's  exports.
Indicating that Turkish-German relations are on a cordial basis, Clodius was said to have author¬ ization to make the following promises to the Turks In exchange for a new pact, replacing the ex¬ pired lO.tn commercial agreement between Turkey and Germany:
1.- Germany's willingness to pur¬ chase   all   of  Turkey's  exports,
2.- German credits enabling Turkey   to   purchase   machines.
3.—German exports to Turkey of all kinds with the exception of wnr materials,
Germany's main requests frnm Turkey were expected to call for delivery to Germany of all exports {of  vital   aid   tn   thr   German  war
It was asserted that the Nazi submarine fired baek at what was called an "unidentifiable destroyer" -now revealed to have been the Greer—only some two hours and » minutes after the destroyer first had attacked the submarins with depth bombs. Seme Featurea L'neaplalncd
The German atatement fixed the time of the destroyer's attack at 12:10 p. m. Thursdsy, at a position about I2S miles southwest of Reyk¬ javik, Iceland.
It said tnat ths submarine was attacked and "pursued" and "was nnt in position to determine nation¬ ality of the attacking deatroyer.
Therefore, said the German state¬ ment "in justifiable defense the U- boat at 3:30 p. m. fired a double shot in defense which missed."
(The Nazi statement did not in¬ dicate why, if the submarine com¬ mander did not know the national¬ ity of hia attacker, he waited two hours before replying to the attack. Nor did the statement indicate why the submarine risked coming to the surface in broad daylight, knowing that a destroyer was attacking It in the immediate vicinity. Normal procedure for a submarine, under attack by a destroyer. Is to remain submerged with engines silent un¬ til hunting warshipa have left the vicinity, aince as soon as the en¬ gines are atarted destroyers are able to locate the submarine with means of under-sea listening de¬ vices,) Tell of K-Heur Fight
The statement claimed thst ths encounter between the Grssr and the submarine laated almoat 13 hours. After the Nasi submarine flred Its torpedoes, it was said, ths destroyer continued to attack with depth bombs, without result, until around midnight.
The major difference between tbe German account of the clash and that issued in Washington centered on the instigation of the encounter. The American statement charged that the attack was started by the U-boat, which fired two torpedoes (Continued on Page A-ll)
