United Press Foreign News Editor
A sudden burst of sea and
air fighting limited today
that NaziS were starting the
war in earnest" threatened
by Adolf Hitler.
Coincidentally with re-
ports in Berlin that the
Fuehrer had sent a message
by courier to Josef Stain as
a preliminary to charting
Germany's future course, there
CAME
IA Nazi aerial attack on the
British naval base in the Firth of
Forth, where royal air force planes
and anti-aircraft guns turned back
the raiding craft after a spectacu-
lar clash. Five to seven German
planes were reported to have been
shot down.
2An announcement by the Ger
man high command that the Brit
ish battle cruiser Repulse had been
torpedoed. The high command first
announced that the Repulse had
been put out of commission but lat
er corrected that statement. The
British officially denied the claim.
3-Unconfirmed reports from Nor
weigan fishermen that three bat
tleshipS and several airplanes, pre-
Sumably British, had attacked and
disabled or sunk a lone warship,
which thesy' believed to be German,
off Vaagoe Island.
IA German announcement that
a British bombing plane and a
French reconnaissance plane had
been shot down in the Rhineland.
The British air ministry said that
British planes made a successful re-
connaiSSance flight over central and
Northern Germany last night.
Fate OF Nazi Planes
OF crew of four men in one of
the attacking German planes in
Scotland one man was drowned, two
were killed by British gunfire and
q fourth was rescued. He suffered
an arm injury.
The ministry of home security an
nounced that the German raiders
caused no civilian casualties and
that there was no damage to pro-
perty.
Indicating that more than three
German planes were in the attack
ing squadron. it was understood that
survivors" were driven back over
the North Sea by pursuing Royal
Air force fighters.
1t was announced that no bombs
fell on land but the German raiders
did release bombs which fell into
the sea.
That was believed that the objec-
tive of the attack was the RosyIh
dockyard and naval base on the
Firth Of Froth, and the Bridge, one
Of the largest in Europe.
Reports after the raid said that

NEUTRALITY BILL

Democratic Members Plan
to Meet to Seek Har=
moniOus Compromise

UNITED Press STAN Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 16-CUP)-De-
mands for modification of the ship
ping restrictions in the neutrality bill
increased today and the Democratic
members of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee planned to meet
and seek a compromise.
Beginning the third week Of de-
bate on neutrality, administrat ton
leaders still predicted Overwhelming
victory on repeal of the arms en-
bargo-.keystone OF President Roose-
velt's program--but admitted that
some changes might be necessary in
the shipping provisions.
Democratic members of the for
eign relations committee, 1t was
learned, meet early this week to
draft an amendment to the shipping
section which, in its present form
would prohibit American vessels
carrying materials Of any kind to
any belligerent nation.
Expected amendment
The amendment was expected to
represent compromise between
Committee Chairman Key Pittman
n, New, and Chairman Josiah W.
Bailey, D., N. c., of the commerce
committee. 1t appeared likely that
it would be designed to remove re-
strictions from vessels sailing to
countries considered only 'nominally
at war;" such as Australia and New
Zealand. But adequate safeguards
would be included so that the pres
ident could recall exemptions when

FRENCH LINERS
ARE SENT DOWN
Survivors Claim They Had
Been Given No Warning
By U-BOats

London, Oct. 16-(UP)-Survivo
of the French liners Bretagne and
Louisiana said today that German
submarines attacked their ships
without warning and killed OF
wounded more than 40 persons, IN
Guiding women and children, by
Smelling them as nfeboats were be-
ing lowered.
Five members OF the crew and
two passengers were lost with the
Bretagne. and more than 300 per-
sons including 10 women were
wounded.
The first mate of the Louisiana
was killed and six crew members
were wounded.
One of those killed in the Bret
agne was q blind Arab. Another
was a former convict returning
home to France. The Bretagne's
radio man was wounded at his
post.
Only quick rescue work by Brit
ish warships which went to the res
cue prevented a much larger casual
ty toll. AS 1t was some survivors
swan for two hours after the ships
were sunk-one man, a French Col
onial soldier, holding his seven
year-old son.
400 Land At Plymouth
More than 400 persons were land
ed at Plymouth yesterday from the
Bretagne, 10108 tons, en- route from
the West Indies to Great Britain;
the Louisiana, 6,903 tons bound
from Great Britain to Havana, and
the British freighter Lochavon,
9.205 tons, bound for Britain from
North Pacific points and the Pana-
ma Canal.
Survivors were landed as the ad-
miralty announced here a probably
final survivors list Of. the battleShip
Royal Oak, torpedoes probably ear
ly Saturday. The list contained the
names of Ala Of the approximately
1900 officers and men In the ship,
leaving 1856 unaccounted for, and
there was some uncertainty regard
ing the name of one man listed as
survivor.
Ashore On Stretchers
More than 80 survivors Of the
Bretagne and Louisiana were
brought ashore at Plymouth on
stretchers, seriously wounded by
shells fired deliberately at the boat
as life boats were being lowered.
The shells smashed into life boats
and wrecked several Of them.

Sunday Cove.
Deputies said the only chal.ce
that the quintet had escaped death
appeared to lie in the possibility
that they were able to reach Big
Island, the largest of a dozen is
lands dotting the lake.
Big Island, nearly mile from
where the motorboat was found,
was to be searched later today.
Relatives told authorities that the
msn, all residents of Berlin, left
Saturday for a weekend of hunt
ing and, we're to have returned to

Those reported missing were

The motorboat was one of two
which they kept moored at Enrol
dam in the Androscoggin river for
use on frequent hunting expedi-
lions. They put out in it Saturday
afternoon for four-mile trip up
river to the lake.
High winds have been sweeping
the lake since Saturday morning
and Frederick Goodrich, a Berlin
confectioner, said that while he was
on an island yesterday he saw
three men rowing in choppy water
against the stiff breeze. He was I'M
certain whether these men were
some of those missing.
Relatives feared the quintet
either drowned when the boat cap
sized or were stranded on an island.

LINDBERCH GOT
BITTER SCORING
British Press Castigates
Him for His Attack Upon
Great Britain

London, Oct. 6-(UP)-The Brit
ish press castigated Col. Charles A
Lindbergh today for his radio speech
on neutrality last week in which the
American flyer criticized the entry
of Canada into the European war.
The most bitter denunciation OF
Lindbergh was written by columnist
Peter Wilson in the Tabloid Sunday
Pictorial under the heading: Nov
here's guy don't like" q
Wilson said, 1.-THE American trou-
ple-inaker No. has been shooting
off his mouth again" and proceeded
to outline Lindbergh's history
stressing allusion to the award con-
ferred upon the flyer by Adolf Hit
Ter and saying that "a lot of people
thought it should have been the
double cross"
Z The columnist asserted that Can
adams consider his reference to
Canada inipudent" and said millions
of Americans must have turned
their radios off after the aviator's
speech with the feeling that Lind
hergh, the Nazi pet was not very
well qualified to talk about Democ-
racy."
Aliudes to Kidnapping
Wilson alluded to the kidnapping
and murder Of Eindbergh's son and
to Americas Overwhelming and
genuine display of pathy towards
him" and continued:
But Lindbergh did not want
sympathy. He wanted solitude and
privacy for his grief. And he came
to England.

Firth of Forth Bridge Was
One Object Of Attack
of BOmbers
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS
United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Oct. 16-(UP)-Three
German planes were reported shot
down today during a Nazi air raid
against Scottish naval bases.
One of the Nazi craft was said t.
have been brought down in the
Firth of Forth and two in the Fife
district, on the Eastern coast.
The objectives of the raiders--
which met counter-attack by royal
air force planes and anti-aircraft
batteries--were understood to be the
Firth of Forth Bridge and the
Rosyth naval base. No bombs struck
the bridge.
If attacking bombers should hit
the Firth of Forth Bridge and cause
its spans to fall into the water they
would effectively block the Rosyth
naval base from access to the sea.
The ministry of home security an
nounced:
Reports received up to date in
dictate that there have been no civ
ilian casualties and no damage to
property as result of the enemy &C
ton"
Anti-aircraft guns doomed at
Edinburgh as the German planes
three of which were reported over
the city-aimed at the vital dock
yards and bases along the Firth OF
Forth.
Royal Air Force craft fought
with the raiders and, the air min
istry announced, inflicted casualties
upon them" The rninistry's an
nouncement characterized the raid
as an attempted attack but sud-
den activity by both allied and Ger
man craft limited that hostilities
might be increasing rapidly on the
sea and in the air.
Important Naval Bases
Some of Great Britains most i'm
portant naval bases and naval yards
are on the Scottish coast.
There had been several reported
German air thrusts in tn, past to-
ward Scotland but none of a sue
cessful or serious nature. One of
these repeatedly had been at Ro-
syth, but the German planes were
