Thirty-five: "I don't want to go.
One whole year out of my life, just
when l was getting set in a pretty
good job ~
That is the way the sentiment
ranged Tuesday among young men
of Ell Centre who in scarcely a
month will be trotting up to draft
boards and putting down their John
Henrys as prospective soldiers.
Reaction appeared to vary in ac-
cordance with age. The younger
chaps, not yet definitely settled in
any walk of life, thought the change
might be fun.
What the heck, I haven't got
much of a job. I'm not making
much money. What's a year out OF
my life?' one young chap, unmar-
ried and scarcely of voting age, rea-
soned. Apparently, his attitude rep
resented that of the bulk of younger
men. Others said: "Itll be all right
if 1 can get in the air corps ;"
or "All the jobs I've had since I
got out of school were tough. A
year in the army will be a rest y
The older the men questioned the
more reluctance they showed to-
ward a year of military life. El
Centre men in their middle tWen-
ties looked upon the prospect as
something of a lark, but the idea of
compulsion ranked They were
young enough that single year
was not as precious as it might be
later on
Il just don't like to have anyone
shove me around!" one chap eX-
planned
From 30 to 35 years, Ell Centre
men were not rebellious but not
pleased by the prospect.
Il am not married, but 1 have a
career to think Of" one young man
commented. "A year away from my
job may mean big setback. 1t will
undoubtedly mean loss to me-

it was outmoded 20 years ago.
But beneath the light humor there
appeared in virtually all the men
who will register for service a deep
sense of resignation. 1t was as
though they had known for years
that it was inevitable, that sooner
or later the drums would call them
up. They objected lamely to them

new locations of the German sur
face craft which last had been
sighted in "exposed places" along the
invasion coast.
The blow to the invasion fleet
was reported after widespread bomb
ing of London's elite west end had
revealed damage to Berkeley Square,
Picadilly. Mayfair, Park Lane, Bond
Street, Burlington Arcade, Oxford
street and other glittering regions
OF smart shops and expensive resi-
dences.
Winds over the narrow channel
waters were so furious, said the air
ministry, that German small craft
hastily scurried for cover. The new
disposition of the fleet was being
ferreted out quickly by observation
planes.
In Berlin, meanwhile, German
spokesman Tuesday night limited
that German long-range cannon
may be shelling London from en-
placements on the French and Bel
gian coasts nearly 80 miles away.
The spokesman said it was "highly
possible" that such a bombardment
had started but declined to amplify
his statement.
To all further inquiries he said:
ASK the gentlemen in London"
II such bombardment actually
is underway the German cannon
have greater range than any ever
previously built. During the World
war long-distance German cannon
shelled Paris from distances up to
about rs miles.
The new cannon-if they exist
would have to fire nearly Is miles
farther from the nearest coastal
points to the London metropolitan
area.

Churchill States
Prime Minister Admits
10000 Civilians on
Bomb Casualty List

LONDON, Sept. II. (UP)
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill today called upon
the people to maintain con-
stant vigilance against the
continued threat of German inva-
sion, but declared that Britain's
strength was growing while Crush
ing inroads" were being made on
"the enemy's enormous superiority
of numbers"
1--WE may await the decisiAn of
this air battle with sober but in
creasing confidence" the prime min
lister said, while admitting about
10000 civilian casualties-including
1000 dead-as result of German
bombings in the first two weeks of
September.
SERIOUS injury has been done to
Adolf Hitler's ships and barges con-
centrated for invasion of Great
Britain and Ireland, Churchill said,
while "our own strength develops
steadily by land, sea and above all
in the air"
In the House of Lords, Viscount
Caldecote, dominions secretary. said
that Britain ultimately would have
air superiority over Germany.
1--WE shall very shortly be receiv-
ing flow of highly skilled pilots
and crews to redress the balance in
the air and ultimately give us that
air superiority which will be one
OF the decisive factors in achieving
victory" he said
Churchill's speech, delivered to
the House of Commons during
day of air raid alarms, was regard
ed as the most optimistic yet made
by Churchill. He bitterly accused
the Germans of 'indiscriminate"
bombing of civilians and of "deliber-
ate repeated attacks on Buckingham
Palace and upon the persons of our
beloved king and queen"
The German raiders not only have
failed to terrorize Britons, Churchill
said, but their bombing attacks have
"had the opposite effect"

Actor Loses Suit
To Make Heiress
Support Children

LOS ANGELES, Sept. II. (UP)-
Superior Judge Thurmond Clark
today awarded Lille Cullen Port
anova. however, was ordered by the
from Paul Portanova, young italian
actor, but awarded one of the cou-
pies two children to the actor pro-
vidipg he can prove he is financial
ly able to support it.
Judge Clarke denied Portanova
a divorce and $400 month for sup
port of both children which he had
asked when instituting divorce pro-
ceedings. Miss Cullen sought her
divorce in a croSs-complaint.
The Oldest child Enrico, 7, will re-
main in his mothers care and Ugo,
4, will stay with his father. Port
anova. however, was ordeded by the
court to return on January 9, to
prove that he is still supporting
Ugo.
Portanova, when testifying at the
trial. alleged that his present wife
made ardent love to him and gave
him child while he still was mar
ried to another woman. He CONTEND
ed his estranged wife was not car
ing properly for their children and
sought financial redress because
Mrs. Portanova insisted the couple
live in Houston, thus depriving him
of contact with the movie studios
for many years.
The actor divorced his first wife,
Rosa Mischi Portanova at Reno,
and married Miss Cullen in Dec,
1888.
The court not only denied his
divorce, but also discontinued the
$500 a month temporary support
granted the actor from his wife's
income at the beginning of the
rial.
