Allies to Lend Reds Ships to Russia
Warship transfers advance under a pending deal to disperse the Dignan fleet after the Italian surrender. British and American units may be sent to Russia for the operation, with the Italian fleet kept intact in the Mediterranean for Allied control. Once Russia is trained, vessels could move to the Murmansk route, and potentially to the Pacific if war with Japan extends. President Roosevelt had noted a third of the fleet or its equivalent might go to Russia, with authorities studying transfer details for months. Pneumonia seasons: winter and early spring see higher pneumonia attacks, medical authorities warn.
