he replied: Eyes. The war in Eng

NEW YORK, July 4 (N.AN.Ao.-
The New York officials of the Irish
Republican Army, who told this re-
porter of their plan to send an ex-
peditionary force into England, de-
scribed next the actual results OF
their campaign to bomb the public
services of English cities. They re-
peated their declaration that the
war was being waged necessarily
and asserted that the success of the
invasion had reduced De Valera S
political strength.
These four men, who had al =
ranged a secret meeting with the
reporter for the purpose of explain
ing the widespread bombings in
England, said that the high COM
mand of the I. R. A. was ready to
take the lives of EngliShmen il the
death penalty was inforced upon
the prisoners taken during the
bombings.
Let England take that STEP" said
the spokesman for the group, land

authorized any bombings in Ireland
itself, except on one occasion. That
one bombing was on the border be-
tween Northern Ireland and the
Irish Free State. This was in No.
vember of last year when the army
had already made much progress in
its plans for the invasion of Eng
land. De Valera, the spokesman
said, had been talking again about
partition and had declared that the
boundary must go.
Blew Up Boundary.
DE Valera made a speech in
which he again SHE'D away from
the republic, but cried out The
boundary must gor" said the
spokesman. We'll, it did 60. But
in rather a different manner than
the one he meant. We blew it up
We blew up every custom house
along the border" He smiled in his
grim fashion and added More
over, the bombs were placed there
for us by English agents" He meant
that the English postal clerks had
sent the packages containing the
bombs.
This was in November of last
year" he continued, before the
republic sent its ultimatu to For

eign Secretary Halifax. We were
careful not to injure the customs
men. We sent the bombs for ex-
plosion when they had gone home.
And an hour before the explosion
we telephoned to the radio station
at Belfast and asked it to broad
cast warning that all people should
got away from the custom houses
Up they Went-all of them-at the
appointed hour, and nobody was
hurt. We did this to recall to Ire
land that speeches never won any
thing for Ireland, but that physical
force had won-and would again"
The first explosions in England,
three in number, took place last
January II, just as the ultimatum
to the government expired. Since
then the explosions, either of bombs
or gas or incendiary material, have
taken place regularly. The last re-
ported attack was on June "a, when
the heaviest damage so far in the
campaign took place in the Picca-
dllly Circus area. The force of the
bombs was felt two miles away and
threw the city into such a panic
that the Territorial Army, which is
equivalent to our National Guard,
was called out.
Bombs Put Into Mail.
One June 10 thousands of letters
were destroyed and several postal
workers we're burned on their hands
and faces when scores of incendiary
bombs were put into the night mail.
A member of the group then said:
THE great difficulty in carrying out
orders in England is the necessity
for making bombs There is no way
of buying them there, though we
have managed to borrow some
from English Army supply depots.
This has given us trouble, but We
have found a way out of it now"
The reporter asked: rs your
training school still functioning?"
Yes, it is. Men are being sent
into England in whatever number
is required. 1t isn't possible to say
just how many there are in the field
because the number is changing all
the time. Many return and others
go out
1T is easy for them to leave Eng
land by boat In fact, some Of them
have been able to set their bombs

That republic was established
for all time, and. although sup
pressed by English forces, it con-
tinues to be the only legitimate
government in Ireland. We are con-
f1dent that we can force England
to let that republic function"
He then said in lower, even
graver voice: God save Ireland!"
This was repeated by the others.

 raid, but later the train got away safely.
 Nazis Try For Trap
 The bombs were believed to be di- rected principally at the Vistula bridges, with the idea of trapping as many Polish troops as possible on the west bank of the river.
 Polish military experts said how ever that there was little chance to trap the troops, however, since ample room for maeuvering remain ed.
 Sporadic reports from the fight ing front said that German motor- ized columns continued occasionally to break through the Polish lines north of Warsaw. Heavy and light tanks were being used by the Nazis backed by large units of infantry.
 An official announcement over the radio said that six Maxi bombers had been shot down.
 About 1 p. m. (Wednesday) the Nazi bombardment became intensive far surpassing previous attacks or Warsaw.
 Dive At Bridges
 I watched German craft power diving at the Vistula bridges screeching downward at e terrific speed. Then there were great explo' sions that military experts said in. dicated many 500-pound bombs ane probably some ,000.pound bombs.
 Some of them fell so close to thu apartment in which I was watching from the window that the building rocked and the floors heaved slight ly underfoot.
 Across the street glass fell iron windows and all down the block thu sound of shattered panes followed the explosions.
 After the next blast, the window' in our apartment seemed to bent but the explosion seemed just fal enough away to spare them. A column of smoke arose half mile away. Then I saw more Nag plans shooting downward and couls see them release one heavy and tw' light bombs
 As the bombs struck, there wer, great explosions on the river banks Poles Counter Attack As we watched, messages arriving from the front reported that th' Poles had counter-attacked and re captured Pult,isk. That thrust wa believed to have lesulted (on Wed nesday) in the stoppage of the Ger man advance for the moment.

CONGRESS MAY BE
 CALLED SEPT IS
(Contlnued from Page i)


 sion. Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary revealed at his Salem, Ore, home yesterday that MT. Roosevelt had informed him the special session probably would be called to meet Sept 8, If It were called at all.
 Other White House ntimates exc pressed surprise at the mention of a specific date for the session. They insisted that no date ever has been discussed at cabinet meetings ale though there had been discussion of limiting any special session to war emergency legislation, If pos- sible. As a matter of practical politics, 1t would not be possible so to limit Congress. The executive may call Congress for any legitimate purpose and state that purpose alone in his summons. But when Congress takes over the capitol 1t Is strictly on Its own to legislate as 1t will.
 That May Stop It
 That fact may be the brake which has held of a special session call this long. Another, deemed e1ec- tive by some of the New Deal hign command, is the probability that tho longer MT. Roosevelt delays the next session of Congress, the strong CT will be pressure for amendment of the neutrality act along the lines he proposes to permit sales of arms and ammunition to belligerents. Great Britain and France, in practice, would be able to buy here and Germany would be barred from the rich American storehouse. But that would be because Germany could not keep her merchant ships on the seas rather than because of any United States statute refusing |, to trade with her.
 Reports reach officials here that some of those who prevented neu- trality law action last session have had "a change of heart dispatches yesterday reported Sen. Guy M Gillette, D., Ia., as having tele- graphed MT. Roosevelt a pledge te support administration policy.
 Gillette Comes Back
 Gillette, one of those against whom the 1899 New Deal purge wal a failure, voted in the senate for. eign relations committee last ses' sion to postpone neutrality act re- vision until January. The postpone. ment resolution carried by ons vote. It appears now that Gillette is back on the reservation so fai as foreign affairs go.
 But there was evidence that MT Roosevelt still will have strong op. position on the neutrality issue Sen. David I. Walsh, D., Mass, de. clared in a statement that repeal oi the arms embargo at this time would be a definite act of unneu. trality."
 He said that those urging revi. sion of the law were "propagandisti pretending to be neutral but actual. ly agitating in favor of one sei of belligerents to whom they desire to give military aid and support, the arm embargo, he said-"first war materials, then manpower."

Workers Alliance Opposed To City Manager Charter
((NEA Radiophoto)


 The Workers Alliance wei. comes the initiative of the Brass Workers Union In calling for the defeat of the undemo- cratic, un- American, City Man ager Charter, Frank Noonan, chairman, stated today to the Democrat,
 Insofar as the unemployed are concerned the city manager plan Is a move on the part of republicans and manufacturers to put across an economy pro. gram of the Hoover-Baldwin type. Though we are emphat- ically for economy experience has taught us that the unem- ployed are generally made the goat of such programs, that the poor taxpayer has to take on additional burden In the form of all kinds of general taxes and that public service suffers from drastic curtallment.
 Our job Is to undo the dam age caused by corruption locally and the damage caused by the last congress nationally. Only yesterday we learned that our city lost . half million dollars as . result of the work of that congress.
 What the unemployed want Is an honest, decent admin. stration that will consider the needs of all our people and will support and cooperate with President Roosevelt to restore jobs and recovery.
