BUCHAREST, Sept. IL (By
Radio Through aerial devas-
tation to apitulation-and Ca
pitulation within from two to
six weeks. Foreign military ex-
perts here are agreed this is the
primary goal Of the Nazis' I'M
precedentedly intensified bomb
ing raids on the British Isles.
They also are convinced :h.t
Hitler not only hopes to smash
the British peoples will to re-
sist, but that he is striving espe-
cially to be nh into smithereens
the willingness of British prop
erty owners and big capitalists
to accept ruinous losses.
Obviously, Hitler is making a
furious and desperate drive TO
win the war before winter, and
to win it before October If that
can be done. For the first time
in history, knockout blow is
being attempted on a great
power by aerial weapons alone.
Admittedly, the accompanying
strain on British morale will
soon surpass anything that was
tried out on human integers in
Spain or Flanders.
Lifelong military observers
hereabouts confess that they pos
sess no past experience on which
to estimate whether Britain can
take all that comes and hold on
into the expected safety zone of
mid-October or November. Put
ting political prejudices aside,
they say that is anybody's guess.
The vital question concerns the
psychological effect of the Nazi
day and night bombing.
Morale Of Greater Importance.
Militarists attach greater i'm
portance to the effect on morale
than they do to the possible
wearing down of British aerial
defenses. This is where the
amount of granite character and
patriotic devotion among the
first-rank industrialists and
property owners of Britain may
exercise decisive influence.
Shipping docks and public utility
plants and industrial equipment
worth several billions of pounds
may be destroyed anywhere with
in the next three weeks. Bri-
tsin's leading capitalists owe
their wealth and position to these
vast enterprises which are grad
ually being reduced to ashes.
Will these men accept the loss
of everything which has given
them power in the British EN-
pire and stand with Prime Min
lister Churchill to the last ditch?
Or will they follow the easiest
course taken by so many Nor
wegian, Dutch. Belgian and
French big businessmen and so.
secretely lead a movement in
favor of surrender and save as
much of our personal fortunes as
We can"
In the opinion of military au-
thorities here the Nazis' high
pressure air raids are aimed even
more directly at the morale of
Britain's key industrialists and in
vestment holders than at the will
to resist among the British
masses, as important as the eff
fects on the common people may
also be.
p. Appeasement Begins at Top.
For Britain can only hope to
ride out this hurricane of fury
with its deluge of thunderbolts
If the hearts of Britain's kings of
industry and finance stay in the

Money May Be Sent
To Stranded Americans
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury authorized today
the sending of money to stranded
Americans in the invaded European
countries.
Under presidential orders "freez-
ing" financial transactions between
the United States and these coun-
tries, such payments were permitted
only on special licenses from the
Treasury. Todays order supple
ments a recent one authorizing the
resumption of remittances from
Americans to relatives and friends
in foreign countries abroad.
The new order permits the send
ing of $3.50 month to any one
American abroad provided that the
money is for necessary living ex-
penses." An additional $3.50 Is au-
thorized at any time If the extra
money will be used to help the
American come home.
None of these payments may be
made out of foreign funds now
frozen in this country, but must
be from one American to another
American and involve only Amer
isan money.

HERBERT MARSHALL'S
BY VIRGINIA VALE

HERBERT MARSHALL'S
4 L first talking picture was
"The Letter." in which he
played Jeanne Eagel's lover,
whom she killed. Now he's
playing in it again, but this
time he's the husband of the
heroine, played by Bette
Davis. He prefers his current
role.
I'D rather be a betrayed,
but live, husband, than a
dead lover!" he commented.
incidentally, two of the
most interesting photographs
that have come this way re-
Gently are of Bette Davis and
her stand-in. They're dressed alike,
posed alike. If anything, the stand
in is little prettier than the talent
ed Bette, but she suffers sadly by
contrast. Those photographs show
the difference between an expert
and an amateur, and they're worthy
of any girls careful study.
Twentieth Century-Fox finally got
the screen rights to the play ITO

all censorship bars are let down,
considerable rewriting will have to

Although the two girls have been
on the same lot for more than a

in Russia under such a system does
not make it hopeful for America.
Perhaps the most practical thing
TO do for sufferers from poverty is
to help them obtain skill in some
kind of work that the world needs

full in some good occupation are not
so likely to suffer from poverty.

that the tiresome tasks Of study are
now over goi good. and they can de-
vote themselves to having . good
time and earning and makiug mon

people that they need TO keep on
studying. they often say they finish
ed all that when they completed
their school courses.
The nations that have taken a
great part in human advance never
managed their affairs on that the
ory. Ancient Greece. for instance, is
called by many historians the most
remarkable country that ever exist
ed. 1t had no schools for children
worthy Of the name, but people of
all ages had an eager desire for
knowledge. They were constantly
attending the lectures given by their
philosophers and statesmen, eager
to know how they might solve the
problems Of daily life and govern
ment
That gave those people high de-
gree of intelligence. they made
themselves for many years the most
powerful nation on earth. and the
ideas they handed down have a pro-
found influence even today.

things in the world never quit study

PASSING PARKED CARS

A possible cause of automobile ac-
cidents is the situation created when
a car is parked on a street where
there is fast going traffic. Suppose
we have three cars, of which Car No.
1 is parked on the side of such a
street, Car No. 2 comes along at rs
miles an hour. while Car No. 5 be-
hind is going 40 miles an hour
The driver Of Car No. attempts
to pass No. 2, which would be all
right if it were not for Car No. 1
in the way The driver of Car No. 3
in many cases can't see Car No. /,
so he assumes all is clear. Mean
while Car No. 2 has to turn out for
the parked car. which the driver of
Car No. 3 did not expect A smash
can result from such situation.
Then if in addition Car No. is
coming from the opposite direction,
and the road is not too wide, you
might get bad smash. Car owners
have the right to park in places not
restricted. and people should not
drive in a way that makes such
parking dangerous.

PUBLIC ENTERPRISES

1t takes a good deal of money to
carry on the activities of a good
town. There are people who have
misfortune who have to be helped
There is the charity work of churches
and societies and clubs. There are
useful organizations that should be
generously supported.
People ought to expect, unless they
are so extremely unfortunate that
they really need help themselves
to contribute generously to these ef-
forts. A town will suffer unless these
good things are done, but they can
not be carried on unless people are
willing to make some sacrifice of
money. People who give generously
to such things receive the gratitude
of all whom they help, they make
many friends in the organizations. TO
which they belong, and the town
looks up to them as leaders in its

INCOME TAX TROUBLES

Many people subject to income
taxes complain of the amount of
work and effort necessary to fill out
these returns. In many cases a good
part of the trouble is caused by
their failure to keep careful records
through the year. If they have to do
heap of searching through ae-
counts and checkbooks and bank
deposits, and if in this mess of items
they can't locate the ones they want,
you can't wonder if they have achy
heads and feel disposed TO cuss at
Uncle Sam.
Methodical people will keep the
income returns in mind all the year
Whenever a transaction occurs
which has to be reported, it is care
fully set down so they know just
where to turn for it. With their
painstaking methods, making out the
return becomes a rather interesting
process, and is review of their bus
mess for the year.

taxes them too heavily. The people
seem to demand the present forms

their ancestors knew enough to get

cur with mOuotonous and destruc-
