EDWARD J. FLYNN JOKES AT WILLKIE
G. 0. P. Candidate PrOm- ised to Administer New
 Deal Plans of F. D. K.

New York, Aug. 20-(UP)-Edward J. Flynn, in his first speech as the new Democratic National chairman charged last night that Wendell l.. Willkie in his speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination last Saturday, had made the usual Republican promises" to administer the new deal reforms better than the Democrats have done.
 Perhaps, like myself, you were prepared to hear (From Willkie) a vigorous and specific indictment of new deal measures coupled with a definite pledge on the part of the nominee to bring about their repeal he said. Surely, if those measures are un-American or harmful to the nation, as Republican spokesmen have been contending for years, they should be stricken from the statute books at once.
 "But instead of condemning, MT. Willkie found it in his heart to praise. We have his own word for It that he believes in the wages and hours law. In Federal regulation of securities markets, banking and interstate utilities, that he favors farm relief. Tn other words he believes in most everything that the Roosevelt administration has acc complished."
 He appealed for si, $5, and elo contributions to the Democratic campaign fund. saying, we cannot match, we do not want to match, the slush fund of the opposition"

Both Sides Fight for Dele- gates Before Convention
 Opens on Friday
MAYOR COYLE TO
 SPEAK FOR CROSS
Hurley Forces Claiming Majority of Votes at
 Present Moment

The contest between Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley and ex-Governor Wilbur L. Cross for the Demo cratic nomination for gover- nor became a bitter, no quarter battle today as both fought for delegates. Hurley apparently was still com fortably in the lead, but Cross packers expressed con- fidence that additional strength for the former governor would gather before the state nom- mating convention opens Friday at New Haven and that he would have enough votes to win nomina- tion for the sixth time.
 J. Francis Smith, former state chairman and director of the Cross campaign, announced today that Mayor George Coyle of New Britain would make speech seconding the nomination of Dr. Cross. Announce ment was made last night that ex- Sheriff Sutherland Beckwith, pres- ident of the Litchfield County Dem- ocratic Association, and Charles E. Mahoney, of Windsor, would also second the nomination of Cross Named earlier to make seconding speeches for the former state execu- tive were Joseph Bransfield, Mid dlesex county leader; Mayor Joseph Jennings of Bristol, and Mayor Wil- liam Fitzgerald of Norwich.
 It was announced later today by MT. Smith that another of the sec- onding speeches for Cross will be given by Dr. Edwin R. Dimock, high sheriff of Holland county. A resi- dent of Mansgeld, Dr. Dimock is former tsate commissioner of domes- tic animals and former member oi the state senate.

COLLECTION OF
 RUBBISH LIKELY
Sentiment to That Effect Prevails at Aldermanic
 Session

City collection of rubbish, begin- ming in 194l, seemed assured today as a result of sentiment for the plan apparent at last nights meeting of the board of Aldermen. Officially the aldermen only set down for a public hearing a rubbish collection ordinance proposed by delegation from local community clubs. but un- officially it was made plain that the plan will be'adopted unless some un- foreseen obstacle appears. The hear ing will be held September 9.
 A copy of the proposed ordinance was submitted to the board last night by Mrs. Henry A. Hayden, sec- retary of the inter-community club committee. The ordinance would make subject to penalty anyone who allows rubbish to accumulate and directs the board of works to set up 6 municipal system of rub bish removal.
 Public Demands It.
 William Kelly, former president of the Washington Park Community club, acted as spokesman for the community club group. The pro- posed ordinance. he said has been given careful study and public sen- timent demands its adoption. The community club group has Q large

Myron C. Taylor, Bishop Hurley Confer With Pope

Vatican SCity, Aug. 2o.-(UP)- Pope Plus today received in audi ence Myron c. Taylor, President Roosevelt's personal representative at the Vatican. and Msgr. Joseph Patrick Hurley, newly-appointed bishop of St. Augustine. Fla. Taylor arrived from Florence Saturday. He will return to the United States shortly.
 Monsignor Hurley has been att tached to the Vatican secretariat of state since 1884. and Is the only United States prelate holding an ipmortant post in that division. Prior to his appointment, he had been in the Far East for six years.
 Commenting on his appointment to the bishopric, osservatore Ro- mano. the ofiicial Vatican news paper, said today:

cuts down Germany advanCage.
 He hinted that Britain, too, is pre- pairing surprises and contemplates taking the offensive in 1941 and 1922. Specifically, he asserted that bigger and bigger air attacks on Germany are in prospect and that growing British strength enables her to divert larger forces to the Mediterranean to deal with Italy.
 Churchill's chief points were:
 IA plea to the United States for release of over-age destroyers.
 2-An offer to lease to the Unit ed States on 8 99-year basis de. fense sites in the western hen1i- sphere.
 3NRefusal to relax the British blockade of Europe and rejection of the proposal by former President Herbert Hoover that food be allowed to go to nations conquered by Ger many.
 4EAn estimate of Britain's war losses thus far at 92000 killed, wounded, missing or taken prison- er-including civilian casualties. Road to Victory.
 "The road to victory" said Churchill, "may not be so long as we expect but we have no right to count upon this. Be 1t long or short, rough or smooth. we mean to reach our journeys end.
 '"The increased bombing of Ger many assures us of one of the slzrest if not the shortest of all roads to victory"
 Churchill left no doubt that Brit ain would attempt to travel this road and emphasized again and again that mass raids by Germany in the past fortnight have not im- paired Britain's ability to strike back.
 He stressed the crushing effect of British air attacks on Germany,s scientific and industrial power which he described as already weakened by her expulsion of the Jews and asked what it would profit Hitler if his armies reached the Black Sea, the Caspian or even India should German scientific and economic ap- paratus be shattered and pulver- ized at home"

 Churchill declared that British aircraft production has been stepped up to undnerarmed heights under supervision of Ford Beaverbrook, minister of aircraft supply, and said it now ''has largely exceeded" that of Germany. At the same time. he said the Royal Air Force constantly

ICKES REPLIES
 TO WEN WILLKIE Calls Him Contemptible for Charge President Is
 Trying to Incite War

Washington, Aug. 20.-(UP)-Sec- retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes said last night that Repub- lican presidential candidate Wendell L. Willkie had been "contemptible" in charging that President Roose- welt may be deliberately melting us to war"
 Ickes spoke over nationwide NEG network, replying, in behalf of the administration, to Willkie's address Saturday accepting the Republican nomination.
 Ickes charged that in criticizing MT. Roosevet's foreign policies and inviting the chief executive to a series of joint debates, Willkie had indulged in "unpatriotic demagogu- cry"
 "The President" Ickes said, "can- not adjourn the Battle of Britain in order to ride the circuit with MT. Willkie If MT. Willkie is so eager for a debate in order to hold his audience, I suggest that he chal- lenge his running mate, Senator McNary, with whom he is at great CT variance on domestic and foreign issues than his speech of acceptance shows him to De with the Presi- dent"
 Ickes praised Willkie for rising above partisanship in several points of his acceptance speech but chal- enge6 him to reject the Bundists and other Fascists who are rallying to his support.
 He Thanks Willlxie
 Thanking Willkie for endorsing "some form" of selective service, Ickes attacked Willkie's assertion that MT. Roosevelt is issuing in- flammatory statements ana indulg- ing in manufactured panics."
 Have the dangers against which the President repeatedly warned failed to materialize?" he asked. "1s the Hitler attack on England a manufactured panic? Does not MT. Willkie remember that, tune and again, the President sought to arouse the American people to the danger in the European situation,

NORWICH LODGE
 OF ELKS CALLED
Charles w. Daniels Has Lodge Summoned Before
 Superior Court

A summons to appear at the regu- lar fall session of superior court, beginning the first Tuesday of next month, was filed today with the clerk of the court, against the Nor wich Lodge, No. 430, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, on behalf of Charles w. Daniels, motorcycle racer who was permanently crippled in race on the Norwich Elks race court on August 27. 1899.
 Daniels recently won the consent of Judge Carl Foster, to have the lodge included as defendant in the case, which was originally brought in March of this year, against the Norwich Recreation association, and Rudolph Caron. Lodge property valued at $100,000 has been attached.
 Daniels claims that the formation of the Norwich Elks Lodge Recrea- ton association was intended to avoid the prohibition against the holding of property, such as the race tracks, by a regular branch or lodge of the Order. All the income and the profits from the race track have in fact gone to the lodge, which is now cited as defendant. The members of the lodge auto-

Probe Of Police Dept. .Duty.4Of Police Board
Republican Aldermen Charged FavOritism, Lack of Discipline Aldermen Vote to Table Probe
 of Aldermanic Board

Charges that favoritism and lack of discipline are rife in the police department and allegation that Capt. Fred Hickey, night supervis- or, says he is running" the depart ment were hurled by Republican aldermen at meeting last night. On a straight party line vote, the Democratic members voted down a proposal to have a committee of five aldermen confer with the board of police commissioners to decide whether a formal aldermanic inves- tigation of the police department should be made. The resolution, pro- posed by Minority Leader Joseph Reiner, was much milder than the one originally planned, which would have demanded an immediate po- lice probe by the aldermen without regard for the police board.
 Defeated by Tabling
 The resolution was defeated by the parliamentary strategy of ta- bling it. The motion to table was offered by Majority Leader Patrick F. Shea. However, the Democratic alderman forgot that the boards own rules forbid debate on a mo- tion to table and gave the G. O. P members an opportunity to attack present conditions within the police department.
 This motion should not be ta- bled," declared Alderman Reiner. The aldermen are here to represent the people, and we have the right to know who are the real superior off, ficers in the police department Who's the boss, Roach or Hickey?"
 There are some men in that po- lice department" MT. Reiner went on, "who haven't hau a day of in nine months. Others can get time (Ynvafivatyad ns1 pooa Al

 Calls It Empty Victory

Rome, Aug. 20.-(UP)-The high command announced today that Italian troops had occupied Berbera, completing the conquest of British Sonaliland.
 The Victorious Italian forces marched into the capital city yes- terday, the official communique said, to find part of the port in flames.
 The defeated British, before flee ing aboard the naval vessels which rescued them, had started fires in an effort to destroy whatever might be of value to the invaders, 1t we5 said.
 The high command added that an entire company of camel troops which had been fighting for the British, well-armed and equipped, presented itself to the Italian com mand at Hargeisa, making an act of submission"
 The British withdrawal, it had been previously announced, had been greatly hampered by Italian bomberS who scored hits on sup ply dumps and upon British ships in the harbor before Royal Air Force fighters were able to appear.
 Meanwhile, the Italian press forecast the incorporation of Brit ish Somaliland into Italian East Africa, the Ferrara Corriere assert ing that British Somaliland has ceased to exist as such, coming un- der the full sovereignty of imperial Italy"
 Bombard Hospitals
 The high commands communiQue charged that the British had bom- barded military hospitals at Derna, in Libya, killing one patient and wounding 9 others.
