| GERMANY SPEAKS OF SMASH TODAY
Met With Little Opposition In New Attacks On
 England Zones
BY RICHARD c. HOTTELET Limited Press Staff Corresnondentl

BY RICHARD c. HOTTELET United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Berlin, Aug. 21.-(UP)-Strong reconnaissance flights over the Brit ish Isles were made by the German air force today, authorized German quarters said, and it was claimed that little opposition had been en- countered.
 It was said that the opposition was slight, despite the fact that German planes flew at very low al- titudes and were protected by only a few fighter ships.
 All Berlin broadcasting stations had gone of the air during the night and although no official ex- plantation was available it was re- called that British planes, such as those which had reached the Ber- lin suburban area the night before, could use radio beams as direction guides.
 The high command communique said that in the course of armed reconnaissance yesterday the air force attacked important military objectiveS in middle and southern England. Bombs were dropped "suc- cessfully," it was said, on a muni- tions factory at Aldeburgh in Coun- ty Suffolk, a railroad center at Southwold, harbor works at Great Yarmouth and warship at sea in the Great Yarmouth area.
 Bombs, Machine Guns
 The communique said that Ger man planes attacked with bombs and machine guns airdromes at Cambridge, Eastchurch, Mansion and Deal. Several hits were claim ed on tracks, a shed, harbor works and railroad stations at Lowestoft and Exeter. It was said that heavy explosions were observed in a fac tory center at Chelmsford.
 Harbor works at Faversham, Burryport and Pembroke were said to have suffered heavy damage.
 Several small ships lying in har- bors sank and oil stores went up in flames" the communique said.
 In the sea area north of Ireland a merchant ship of 12,000 tons was said to have been sunk by . direct hit.

EVery e1IOfG was Delng made py the British to harrass German prep arations for the big attack. All Ger man radio stations went silent at Il o'clock last night and even the wireless servic eof the official Ger man News Agency was suspended. This was taken to indicate that long range British bombers were again striking deep into Germany.
 German newspapers scoffed at the confident address to the house of commons by Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill and said his refer ences to British offenses in 1941 and 1922 indicated the extent of present British weakness.
 Blasting at airfields, large indus trial plants and shipping, the Ger man air force today raided the Midlands and South England and caused explosions and fires in motor works vital to the British aviation industry, the official news agency DNB reported.
 The Germans said there was huge damage at such points as Derby, Sherffield and South England towns and claimed to have destroyed five grounded planes at one airport.
 Airfields Attacked
 The official German news agency, DNB said today that German Hein- kel bombers attacked several air. fields, motor works in central England and harbor works on the coast this morning. Explosions and fires were observed in the motor works, it was said, and five British planes were destroyed on the ground at one airfield.
 The agency'S front report said that yesterday the German air force concentrated attacks on the industrial region of mid d-England and attacked several cities in south England.
 It claimed that important mili- tary objectives, including motor factory at Derby important to the British aircraft industry, were successfully bombed" A munitions plant was said to have. been bombed in south England.
 German authorities closed the euClIS 1TOl1Cl6T DSIW6Su OCCQQlCQ and unoccupied zones of France to- day.
 Railroad and automobile trafic were forbidden and even foot pass age was banned. Special trains which had been arranged for re- patriation of Belgian and Luxem- buorgian refugees were held.
 Steamer Bombed
 The Norwegian steamer Svein Jarl of Trondheim was bombed szS machine gunned today by Ger man plane of Tory Island, north west coast of Ireland. Bombs missed the ship but two members of the crew were wounded by machine gun bullets, necessitating hospital treat ment.
 The bomber was said to have cir- cled the ship and dropped seven bombs. Then it fired several ma chine gun bursts. Life boats were

| War Moves On Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON Limited Press War Expert)

The Russian government, which has shown a consistently realistic capacity for judgment during the present war, allows its newspapers to declare that Germany is getting mo- where in attacking Britain from the air. This frank comment will be un- palatable to Hitler but will be an additional spur, if any be needed, to more intensive German activity.
 The present problem in Europe thus is now Hitler will try to strike afresh to save his prestige, which the Russian criticism indicates is be- ginning to wane on the continent. He has declared total blockade of Great Britain, but that is an empty gesture which is not getting him anywhere. He must engage in some more conspicuous form of &C., tion. An attempt at invasion seems a fading Naz dream unless Hitler has lost all self-control.
 Renewal of the air attacks on Britain with largely augmented squadronS may come; but by this time the German high command must be aware of the highly specu- lative character of an air bltzkrieg. The halt in intensification is sig nificant of the exhausting nature of blitzkriegs when the defense is as powerful as British aviators have made it.
 
 Blitzkrieg Exhausted
 Germany's military blitzkrieg through Belgium and northern France had reached temporary ex- haustion when the Belgian army surrendered. preventing the Ger mans from quickly following through to cut off the British from the Dunkirk retreat. Similarly in the air it seems apparent that continuous blitzkrieging is impos- sible.
 A second mass air attack on Brit ain, therefore. would have to be lim- tied, as was the first; and Q success sion of intermissions not only caus- es any attacking force to distrust its competence but also allows the de- fense to become refreshed. Long halts are particularly disconcerting for Germans whose military train ing especially emphasizes continu- oiis action once c major offensive begins. until the objective is gained.
 Prime Minister Churchill in his speech yesterday predicted far iarg- CT operations in the middle east. The context of his address shows he in- cluded North Africa In his definition of the middle east. which usually is applied to Asia Minor and some-

 The same Irish leaders, however, expressed fear that victorious Ger many would seek to maintain Fires status as a second-rate power and might lead to further oppression.
 If Germany wins," one competent authority said, Fire, which in the past had to fight on only one politi- cal front, may be obliged to appease the claims of two European powers" :"
 Fires neutrality must, however. be ga watchful, armed neutrality" which would be "the best protection for England as well as Fire" these high sources explained. The dis patch of British soldiers to prepare the defense of Ireland, they said, would have the opposite result and probably would turn the Irish openly against Britain.

 Hitler May Invade
 Because of Fires strategic posi- ton, most Irishmen believe Hitler would not be content to leave this nation untouched if he were vic- torious. Current rumors here that a victorious Germany might try to revive Celtic union linking the Seople of Fire, Scotland, Wales and Brittany as a check against any possible revival of England are re- garded as an indication of Ger many's general aims.
 ''The role of a buffer state is not one which a majority of Irishmen would willingly accept" a leading authority said.
 Agitation for return of Ulster has diminished greatly amid more seri- ous problems arising from the war. But leading officials said the Ul-

Young Street Man Hear- ing Evidence Against
 Him On Arson Charge

Ralph Campanaro, 47, of 33 Young street, on trial for arson in city court today, took out $1,000 fire insurance policy on May 6, accord ing to the policy which was intro 'duced as evidence after being iden- tified by Fire Lieut.. Eugene A, Legge.
 Trial of Campanaro, who is charged with setting fire to his Boston restaurant, 380 South Main street, July 19, was still in progress at press time and was expected to continue this afternoon after g re- cess.
 The session was marked by fre- quent animated clashes between Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Ga- lullo and Defense Attorney Edward Mascolo at the beginning of the trial. By the end of the morning session, however, the two attorneys were virtually on speaking terms.
 Principal Witness
 The principal witnesses for the state were Lieut.. Legge and State 4IOOECI MduA ACC 1 0A tCAAs VI eAAS Beacon Falls barracks, who identi- fled a two-gallon tin which they picked up at the restaurant, and which they said contained gasoline. Other witnesses were Patrolman Gordon Jones. Capt. Joseph Kelly, of the fire department, and Privates Walter J. Joy and Patrick Lynch.
 The insurance policy, which Lieut.. Legge said he found on shelf in the restaurant, was not discussed, but was introduced. The policy, which was for one year, will prob- ably be discussed during later phase of the trial.
 The testimony of Lieut.. Legge and Trooper Purtell was cumulative, differening only in few details. Both said the premises reeked with

ALLEGED PASTOR
 HELD FOR MURDER
Self-Styled Ordained Min= ister Of JehOvah's Witt
 nesses Kills Sheriff

North Windham, Me, Aug. 2l.- (UP)-A self-styled ordained min- ister of Jehovahs Witnesses was or dered held without bail today for hearing Friday on murder charge in connection with a staying which climaxed series of violent out breaks involving the sect in Maine this summer.
 Arthur F. Cox, 49. of Philadel- phia, who said his conscience was clear with myself and with God" " remained silent during a brief hearing at Portland before District Judge. Robert w. De Wolfe in the staying of Deputy Sheriff Dean Pray here late yesterday. No plea was entered.
 During the hearing spectators by 30 policemen mobilized to pre- vent reprisals or further outbreaks. More than 600 persons gathered outside the courthouse but re- mained orderly.
 Over the objection of Attorney O. W. Smith of Biddeford who repre- sented all defendants, Kenneth A. Carr, g, and Miss Verle Adams Garfein, 1e, of Portland also were held without bail as material wit- nesses. Judge De Wolfe overruled Smiths contention that Maine law did not provide for detention of material witnesses and his demand that they be freed in bail.
 Under Heavy Guard
 Cox and the two material wit- nesses had been under heavy guard at Portland jail throughout the night. The cuitist, who protested he had shot pray in self-defense, al- iegedly told Deputy shertff Arthur K. Macdonald that he was mot sorry did it."

CROSS HACKERS WILL PRESIDE AT CONVENTION Chairman J. Francis Smith Is Notified In
 Taking Charge SPRING GATHERING
 ONLY RECESSED So Old Officials Will Have Right To Continue Re-
 cessed Session

The candidacy of ex-G Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross for the Democratic gubernator- ial nomination received an important boost today when it developed that his SUD- porters will be in official charge of the state conven- tion at New Haven Friday and Saturday. A leader of the Cross movement said it is being taken for granted that J. Francis Smith of this city, former state chairman and director of the campaign for Cross, will serve automatically as chairman of the convention without any ballot for the post being necessary.
 Since the spring convention at Hartford voted only to recess" after national convention delegates had been named and U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney renominated, the officers of that convention will also serve at New Haven, the Cross packers assert. MT. Smith was con- vention chairman at Hartford. Hav- ing MT. Smith as chairman, and other pro-Cross convention officers also serving, will give the Cross movement something of a consider able advantage, especially in the event of calls for rulings on con- troversial questions.
 Smith Is Justified.
 Party parliamentarians generally agreed that MT. Smith will be jus tif1ed, by virtue of the vote at the Hartford convention, to take the chair and call the New Haven con- vention to order Friday night. The supporters of ex Gov. Cross chief rival, Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley, may seek to call

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Athens, Aug. 21-(UP)-Italian mobile divisions today were concen- trating on the Albania~ Greek from tier, reliable reports said, and it was apparent here that Italo- Greek ten- sion was increasing.
 Reliable reports said that an Ital- ian plane had made forced landing at Eleuis, IS miles west of Athens and site of Greece's largest muni- tions plant. The crew of five was in- termed, bringing to 27 the number of Italian airmen interned in Greece.
 A military spokesman said that Greek defenses on the Albanian frontier were adequate and there were no indications that any Greek mobilization was imminent, but it was learned reliably that Premier John Metaxas had conferred with the general staff yesterday following a discussion with King George II.
 Observers said that tension was greater than at any time since last weeks sinking of the Greek mine laying cruiser Helle by an uniden- titled submarine off the island of Tinos.
 Metaxas was said to have told the general stan that Greece desired to

Reporters PofhwoY
Filled with Hurdles

ITO aspiring young journalists
l. who look upon their chosen
careers as a glamorous profession,
Dorothy Kilgallen, New York
columnist, has word to say.
Reporting is hard job demand
ing the utmost in personal sacrifice
and physical strength, Miss Kilgal-
len writes in the May issue of Cos
mopohtan. But movies have given
young people the idea that news
paper work is all horseplay and
front page by-line, and this is far
from the truth.
There are few short cuts to page
one and few rules for becoming q
great journalist, she says, but there
are some things you must, and
some things you cannot do. Here
they are in six easy lessons:
Lesson You've got to be
pretty smart to start with. You
must be able to talk with any and
every one on any and every subject.
Lesson BE accurate. The best
story in the world is not good if it's
not accurate.
Lesson 3-You need stamina. A
girl who faints easily or cannot
look at a dead body had better find
herself another career.
Lesson being a girl doesn't
help: 1t makes the job harder in
every respect.
Lesson 5-Most of the interest
ing people aren't interesting. You
have to make them so.
Lesson 6-Never buy q round
trip ticket. You never know how or
when you'll be back.
In addition, concludes Miss Kill
gallen, good reporter should have
tact, persuasiveness, persistence,
pencils and good judgment; know
where the nearest phone is and
have plenty of nickels. Finally o
little luck will do NO harm.
