no active part lin the nefarious
proceedings.
Gen. Shedd disclosed to reporters a
tentative schedule indicating prac-
tically all of the National Guard
would be ordered on duty by Janu-
airy l, should the Guard and Re-
serve authorization be approved by
September /. Approximately 400 900
conscripts would be starting one
year of training by January l also,
if the Burke -Wadsworth bill has
been enacted by September Is.
Gen. Shedd predicated the figures
on approval of appropriations soon
after the bills are enacted. He dis
closed that mot all Reserve officers
would be needed to train the con-
scripts.
He indicated the following table
of procuring men:
September Is, $1,000 National
Guardsmen; October Is. 5000
Guardsmen and 5000 conscripts;
November /, $1,000 conscripts: No.
vember Is. 10000 GuardSmen and
$1,000 conscripts; December l
10000 Guardsmen and 100000 con-
scripts; December Is, approximately
$4,000 conScriptS.
The conscripts would be used to
fill out to war strength the Regular
Army and Guard units, while the
Guardsmen would be summoned
first to permit two-week shake
down" before being recruited to war
strength.
The plans were revised from prev
ious indications that 100000 selected
service men would be called for duty
by October l.
Gen. Shedd compared the one
year enlistment proposal, as ad-
vocated by Senator Vandenberg
Republican, of Michigan and BIZ
partisan bloc, to the confusion
which might be caused in a uni
versity if new students were being
admitted each day to classes, or if
football team changed its players
every day.
In addition, he declared, I'VE
would not distribute men equitably
from all classes throughout the
country" through the voluntary
system The recruits would prob
ably be obtained from men unem-
ployed and youngsters who have
listened to recruiting propaganda. ="
"We feel they should be obtained
from all economic classes" he en-
phasized.
Asked if he felt that conScription
was absolutely necessary, he de-
clared, THE War Department feels
now is not the time to speculate on
national defense"
Debt Relief Studied.
The constitutional prohibitions
against interference with the rights
of contracts puzzled members OF
the committee when earlier they
took up a separate bill which would
provide debt relief for men sum-
moned from civil life into the mill
tary service.
Capt. Carl R. BendetSon of the
Judge Advocate Generals Office
said he believes Congress had the
right to enact moratorium legis-
iation when an emergency makes it
necessary" He was asked to furnish
a legal brief showing previous court
decisions which would permit Con-
greSs to pass the bill.
Maj. Edward Barber. staff Off
Ger assigned to Gen. Shedd's Office,
outlined provisions of the bill which
would, in effect, give courts the
right to judge the ability of soldiers
to pay their civilian debts when
called to service. The courts would
decide whether payments must CON-
tinue, be deferred until after his
service or be paid up at the end Of a
year after termination OF military
service.
The bill is an ''up-to-date' ver-

A barrage balloon was said to
have trapped one German bomber
off the southeast coast.
A final checkup of yesterdays air
battles over the British coast
showed g. German planes downed-
SO fighters and 26 bombers-an Air
Ministry spokesman said. Loss Of
II British planes previously had
been admitted
(The German tally acknowl-
edged only "a losses and claimed
destruction of SO British planes0
Between 500 and 600 German
planes participated in the raids, the
spokesman said, enumerating as the
British bag:
Eight Junkers 88s, 6 Junkers BIS,
3 Dornier 2l5s, 2 Dornier It's, II
Messerschmitt 110s, "a Messer-
schmitt 109s, Heinkel 113 and 7
others brought down by anti-air
craft fire which have not been
definitely identified.
Germany also lost more than 100
trained airmen in the fighting yes
terday and only II of our own
pilots did not return" the Air Min
istry news service asserted.
The censored British press told
Britons that the long threatened
German blitzkrieg had now been
launched and that the battle of
Britain" finally is on. The press
warned that these concentrated air
attacks might be followed next by
an attempt at actual invasion.
Battle Above Clouds.
The planes unoficially reported to
have been brought down included
Junkers, Dorniers, Heinkels and
Messerschmitts. They were said to
have attacked in waves of from so
to more than 100.
AS fast as the Germans came
British Spitfre and Hurricane fight
ers rose to meet them. Most of the
battles were fought above the clouds.
Streets of southeastern towns
were reported to be strewn with
spent machine gun bullets from
battles raging high overhead.
First reports listed 10 known dead
as a result of the mornings bomb
ings and several houses demolished.
Soldiers and civilians alike were
dying under the hail of tons of
bombs.
Apparently the Germans were
putting their best pilots into the
mass raids as captured airmen
seemed better trained, more expert
enced and physically superior to
those taken previously. Their ages
ranged from about % to a.
Survivors of one downed Nazi
warplane today included a young
count.
Yesterdays mass raids, aimed all
over the country, but directed
chiefly at Portsmouth, Southamp-
ton and Dover. were followed up by
thrusts through the dark hours of
this morning, which inflicted a
number of casualties in Southwest
England and Wales.
Hitler's warplanes pressed their
attacks by moonlight also in the
southeast, northeast and northwest
coastal districts of England.
Gunflre from ground batteries
repeatedly drove off raiders appear
ing over a wide area of Wales early
today. Bombs dropping on a coastal
town caused a number of casualties
and damaged houses.
In the southwest coastal area
bombs crashed on two streets in a
thickly- populated district. Explo-
sions demolished some houses,
started a fire and caused several
casualties.
