LONDON, July 7-R-The Pc

day to have warned that British
warships or planes would be at

port, credited by Havas (French
news agency to usually well-in-
formed quarters, was sent from
Vichy, France, by Reuters Grit

Reuters also carried a H a v a S
dispatch saying between 400 and
$50 deputies and senators-less
than holf Of the French parliment
would attend the meeting of the
two houses this week to pass on
projected changes in the French
constitution.

British and German fighters
swept low over the cliffs during the
battle. Spitires engaged bombers

Three times German planes roar
ed over western England, leav-
ing at least four houses destroyed.
The same district was raided once
Friday and four times Saturday.
Some houses were destroyed and
some casualties, including a num-
Der of persons killed, were caused
by bombs which fell in coastal dis
tricts in the west country" said
a joint communicate of the air and
home ministries.
But, it declared. 'tour defenses
were active and no important at
tacks developed -. an enemy
fighter was shot down off our
coasts this afternoon by anti-air-
craft fire."
That was the second Nazi fight
err plane the British reported bag
ged during the days raids-from
which Britain has had but one
days rest since June 18-and at
least two Dornier II bombers were
reported shot down over the Eng
lish Channel. A third was seen in
difficulties.
From morning until night,
enough of the Nazi raiders pierced
anti-air defenses to bomb scatter
ed sections of southern and south
western England and southeastern
Scotland.

DISCLOSES HIS PLANS
To FARLEY BUT HEAD
OF PARTY IS SILENT

any additional comment m u S t
come from Mr.. Roosevelt.
He did add, however, that he felt
that 'the people of this country
want to retain the democratic par
ty in power" that he had felt that
way all along and still did.
seWill you continue to work to
that" he was asked.
Ducks Question
But Farley ducked that one by
brushing it aside as a leading ques-
ton. Today's papers carried stor'
les he would resign as democra-
tic chairman and postmaster gen.
eral to become president OF the
New York Yankee ball team.
Although he declined to give any
clue to the Presidents intentions,
he said nothing to subtract from
the views of many democratic lead
r that there were increasing in
o:cations Mr.. Roosevelt would
break with tradition and agree to
be drafted for a third term.
More than two-thirds of the con-
vention delegates are pledged or
semi-pledged to a third term and
Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination appar-
emily is assured if he wants it.
Farley himself is a candidate for
the nomination, and has a few
pledged to him. But when
he was asked today whether his
name still would 60 before the
convention, he ducked an answer
again.
Farley faced a barrage Of ques-
tons in the temporary White House
Offices following his two-hour par
ley with '"the boss"
He was silent on his own political
future. He said he did not want
to comment now on that very
nice story about his taking over
the Yankees. Sometime during the
convention, he said, he will an
nounce what he intends to do.
Frank Talk
He and the President, Farley
said, talked with utter frankness.
81 think I have full knowledge
of what he proposes to do" Farley
asserted. "But that is up to him
to discuss" 4
He said he and the President
had conversed about the democrat
ic platform and that he hoped it
would be short.
tI also discussed with him the
kind of platform and size of the
platform I hope will be adopted.
every effort will be made to
conduct a dignified convention with
no by-plays or frivolities of any
character-a convention that will
be free of all criticism"
"Does the third term come und-
err the heading of by-plays" a re-
porter inquired.
Farley grinned and said he
heard the question.
He declined to elaborate on the
type of platform he thought should
be adopted, except to recommend
brevlty.
1.-THE shorter the BETTER" he
commented. 1.-The people will read
a short one and not a long one.'
Farley started back to New York
Immediately after his press con-
ference and said he would leave
at 6 pm. tomorrow for Chicago.
He told reporters that what he
said today would be his first n
final statement on his conference
with the President.
Doesn't that leave the delegates
uncertain whether the President
will or will not run" he was ask
ed.
THAT is a question that only
the President can answer" Farley
responded, land certainly I do not
have the right to presume to speak
for him."
Twill your name 60 before the
convention" was the next ques'
IT won't even answer that" Far
ley retorted.

Mr.. Mckinney, was made by Mr..
Osborn at his office here today.
''I consider the governor of a
state to be the instrument of the
people," Mr. Mckinney said in a
statement accepting the state man
agership, land my choice of a can
didate is based upon my conception
of his capacity as strong, efficient
intelligent instrument, of worthy
material
''Mr. Osborn he continued, sis
thoroughly familiar with the history
and development of this state, eco
nomically as we'll as politically. His
political education and training to-
gether with his personal knowledge
of the motives and aims of all those
who interest themselves in political
and governmental affairs in this
state, coupled with his sincerity and
determination make him in my
opinion the finest instrument avail
able to the will and purpose of the
people Of Arizona.
Native Of Arizona
Mr.. Mckinney is a member OF a
pioneer Arizona family, and was
born in Graham county. He has
been engaged in the livestock in
dustry almost all of his life and is
a. cattle ranch owner in Pima coun-
ty. in which county he is register
ed voter. He was one of the organlz-
ers- of the San-Pima Cattlemens
Association and served as its first
president, later becoming president
of the Arizona Cattle Growers AS
sociation. In 1892, during the ad-
ministration of the late Gov. G. w.
! P. Hunt, Mr.. Mckinney was mem
/ ber of the state livestock sanitary
board. He is veteran Of the World
War and a member of the American
Legion.
| Since 1882, Mr.. Mckinney has
| held a number of important posts,
in addition to his cattle ranching
activities, in which he has made an
outstanding record as an organizer
and executive. Among them are the
presidency of the Federal In
termediate Credit Bank at Berkeley,
Calf, in charge of livestock loans
in Arizona, California, Nevada and
Utah; and later the secretary-treas-
urership of the Arizona Livestock
Production Credit Association, which
is also part of the Federal Farm
Credit Administration at Berkeley.
Early in 1887, Mr.. Mckinney was
borrowed" by the Hearst Corpora
ton to make complete survey and
analysis of all of the w. r. Hearst
livestock interests in this country
and Mexico, upon completion OF
which assignment he accepted the
management of the Arizona office
of the Bank of America Agricultural
Credit Corporation of San Fran
cisco, to organize and expand op-
erations in this state During that
entire period he has owned and op-
Grated a cattle outfit in Santa Cruz
and Pima counties.
McKinney's Statement
Accepting the appointment as
state manager of the Osborn-for-
Governor campaign, Mr. Mckinney
issued the following statement:

didacy of Sidney P. Osborn is the

CHILDREN MISS
 FIRE AT COLISEUM
 BY CLOSE MARGIN

Fire of undetermined origin caused damage estimated at around S150 in the furnace room of the Coliseum theatre last Saturday afternoon, just a few minutes after a packed house of children had left the building at the conclusion Of the afternoon mat inee. Despite a stuff breeze which was whipping in eff the bay, fire men were able to confine the flames to the furnace room and extinguish them before they broke through the roof thus averting what could have been a disasterous conflagration.
 Cause of the fire has not definit- ely been determined, the belief ex- pressed by firemen being probable spontaneous combustion caused, per haps, by rats dragging oil soaked rags or other inflammable matter into the walls.
 There was no evidence that it started from the flue or furnace authorities said IL apparently ig- nited inside the walls near the floor. Manager J. R. Brown said be anticipated it would cost around IS150 to make repairs.

New Federal Bldg. To Start In May,
 Hansler Says

Preliminary work on the construc- tion of the new Postoffice and Gus toms House was started in Wrangell this week with the arrival of Mike Hansler the first Of the week on the Yukon. Hansler represents the Macdonald Construction Company Of Tacoma. who has the contract for erecting the new s123,00O structure here this summer on the Federal grounds.
 After looking over the job this week. arranging sub-contracts and planning the moving of the present structure, Hansler is returning south on the Northland this week end 10 supervise the construction of an $SoO.0O0 state building his company is erecting on the state capital grounds in Olympia. He ex- poets to return north in May to start actual work of moving the present structure and start con- struction of the new building. It is possible that some one else from the company will be up before that time, he said, although 1t is not planned to start the work before the weather settles.
 Hansler estimates the full job will run into about ten months, includ- ing all the inside work, but he plans to have the roof on ten weeks after the start is made. The old building will be moved over toward the Mathieson estate property and will be kept in use while the new build ing is being put up. It then will be torn down.
 The contractor made arrange ments with the Legion for the Dug out building as an office and liv- ing quarters while on the job. He will arrange to have 1t moved over to the site leased from the city next to the city hall and will make use of it until such time as the building job is completed.
 Contemplating the Dugout build in lots worse places than that while on various jobs," referring to his wife and children He expects to have Mrs. Hansler and their five children join him for the summer. They've been with me in all sorts of places" he commented, "and I'm sure they are going to like this. Fishing and hunting is our enjoy ment when we have a little time and understand you have lot of 1t here"

PARIS, March 22-The quickly created Paul Reynaud war Cabinet of France headed immediately into trouble yesterday with some quar- ters skeptical as to its chances of survival. The new government has g ministers, three more than the cabinet of Edouard Daladier which resigned Wednesday. Much of the parliamentary furore that brought on the fall of the Daladier govern ment was for a small, wieldy, cab met. A possible sop to this demand was Reynaud's creation within the cabinet of a war committee" made up of himself, Camille Chautemps, who retains the independently, exPremier Daladier, who remains as national defense minister, Georges Mandel, new minister of Colonies, Lucien Lamorex, new Finance min ister, and Raoul Dautry. Armaments minister.
 Even though he named three of Daladier's national defense ministry to step up the war against Germany and thus appeased the socialists, these three developments struck the new premier and foreign minister before the first cabiniet meeting which was to convene today.
 (1) Daladier's own radical social ist party, both Senate and the Chamber of Deputies reserved ap- proval to await the governments acts"
 (2) Louis Marin's rightist Repub- lican federation branded the new ministry as failing to represent na- tional adhesion and refused to rep ] resent it.
 (3D Former Premier Flandin's s rightist Republican Alliance ruled ! mo support from us"
 Reynaud has set up a special war committee whose five members in- clude Daladier's announced separate economic council, similar to Bri- tain's ministry of economic warfare group, and has named cabinet available if desired.
