at the same old game at which ambitious and snobbish Americans will still be trying their hand"
 Johnson saic that after listening to hours and hours of debate, he has found that these truths are self-evident":
 q. That the repeal of the em- bargo favors the Allies.
 g. That such repeal accomplish ed after the beginning of the war would be unneutral."
 "Misrepresentative propaganda" is before the country, he said, but add- ed that he fc,tt 'sure the American people need no second baptism to awaken the,r recollections."
 T will not labor the causes of the great World war;" he said. Suffice 1t to say that we were gradually eased into that war in 1917, and the propaganda cunningly written and disseminated that seemed to justify our action is not unlike that we meet today.
 We fought a bloody war to make the world safe for democracy and at the end there were fewer democ- racies in the world, and we had en- slaved hundreds of thousands of people under Relationships. The propaganda of the last war reads like Ghoulish humor."
 The 73-year-old senator told his colleagues that again we are asked to let ourselves be eased into a po- sition where that may happen to us again that happened once before" 7"
 T have no hesitancy in saying, although the Democratic leader GAL ben W. Barkley) yesterday derided this, that a step in the direction re- quested of us now is the first false step, and that the repeal of the em- bargo will place us in the shadow, walking down the bloody path of war"
 "This bill," said Johnson, enables Great Britain and France, because of their mastery of the sea, to ob- tain everything they desire, save the fe-' items in the embargo, and Ger many, by reason of her position, can obtain none of them.
 This ought to satisfy the crav- ing for discrimination that 1 observe is present in a few of my brethren, and it probably can be defended as legal. The lifting fo the embargo cannot be so defended.
 "The proposed change in the law to permit an arms traffic now that was prohibited when the war broke out is not a return to international law, but a defiance of international law"
 Johnson said he desired to "con- graduate" Democratic members of the foreign relations committee for agreeing on amendments to the bill t. tighten the title-and-carry pro- visions and to eas some of the ship ping restrictions, and added:
 "Let us hos- they will strike out the repeal of the arms embargo"

Edinburgh people, finally, to take shelter.
 Second Alarm
 Soon after the all clear signal was given at Edinburgh there was sec- ond alarm. This time two planes could be seen glinting in the bright sunlight thousands of feet high.
 The all clear was sounded again and then there was third alarm.
 Then British planes could be seen speeding out over the North Sea, as if they bad turned back and were pursuing German raiders or were going out to intercept a new wave>of them.
 During the alarm period, the air ministry here sad that there had been an alarm in the Firth of Forth area early this morning. Residents of the area said that at this time guns were heard on the southeast coast of Scotland and that British planes flew out over the sea.
 The third all clear signal of the later alarm period came shortly af- ter p. m. c a. m. EST).
 Reports came that German planes had bee sighted near the Firth of Forth.
 As no bomb explosions were heard anywhere the belief spread that Brit ish fighter planes had repulsed an attack on a considerable scale, and one in which the Germans had tried again and again to penetrate the coastal defense.
 British Planes Seen
 Observers at Edinburgh said that while burst of anti aircraft fire were seen over Rosyth, only British planes, hurtling through the mists, were seen.
 During the afternoon alarm Ger man planes were heard over Edin- burgh, apparently flying in the di- rection of Dundee. Enemy raiders also were sighted in the vicinity of Rosyth while it was understood that some flew up the Firth of Forth, at a great altitude.
 An air raid warning in the south of England involved Portsmouth, where no aircraft were seen. There was no panic during 'the period of warning, when air raid wardens shephereded the public into shell ters. Traffic was brought to a stand- still. The Portsmouth warning last- ed eight minutes.

Great interest in the primary has been aroused by the activity of both sides in attempting to gain votes. The balloting will be far heavier than in the Republican primary a short time ago, when about 2.8O0 votes were cast.
 Democrats feel that the Repub- licans have offered the voters a weak ticket and that the victory in the primary tonight has an excellent chance of being elected November IA. They are also encouraged by the bitter battle in. the Republican ranks over the nomination for city clerk,

 The party contest is TOW over and the nominations practically decided. I accept without resent ment the decision of the majority within the party.

Now that the nomina- tion contest is over, I am fully expectant that they in their turn will unite in complete support of the candidates who have been chosen. I feel that they owe this to me under the circumstances.

Comedian Named as
Aftermath of
Assault

H0LLYW00D-Eddie Cam

company and the Columbia
Broadcasting company were
named as eo-defendants today
in a s751,000 damage suit
brought by an Austrian
American and his wife who
were assaulted last March 27

comedians anti-Nazi jokes.
Bert Gordon, the mad Russian"
OF Cantor's radio programs, was
named as a fourth defendant IN
the suit which was filed BY
Charles Gollob, apartment house
owner, and his wife Elsie.
The complaint charged that
Gordon and other persons I'M
known attacked the couple
outside the Columbia Broad
casting studio, inflleting nu-
merous cuts, bruises and LAGER
atoms upon Gollob and facial
and possible internal injuries
upon his wife.
The Gollobs declared the attack
was unprovoked. They said they
left the Cantor broadcast, spon-
sored by Reynolds Tobacco Co.,
because they objected TO his jokes
about Adolf Hitler and other die
tators solely on the ground that
"they were ancient and not funny
gags"
Immediately following the at
tack Gollob unsuecessfully sought
a battery complaint against Cor
don.
