in this campaign-in an effort to
mislead and intimidate labor, went
to the extent of putting untrue cleo
pioneering notices in pay envelopes
in order to smash the new social Sc
curity act and force its repeal by
electing it's enemies.
"'That kind of opposition comes
only too often from those who regu-
larly for three years and eight
months block labor's welfare, and
then for four months loudly pro.
claim that they are labor's true
friends-from those who love the
laboring man in November but for
get him in January"
People Must Decide
And, he asserted:
"The people must decide whether
to continue the type of government
which has fostered the progress to
date, or whether to turn it over to
those who by their action, If not al
ways by their word, have shown
their fundamental opposition to the
main detectives toward which we
have worked to which we are def
nitely committed for the future"
Discussing national defense plans
and reporting them progressing sat
isfactorily with a growing popular
unity behind them, the chief execu-
tive said that "in all these plans for
national defense, only those who
seek to play upon the fears Of the
American people discover an at
tempt to lead us into war" And
he renewed his previously expressed
determination to keep America out
of the conflict abroad.

Willkie opposed the Russell-Over'

the enemy"
Dover Battered
The Dover area trembled under
the wars greatest Smelling and
bombing.
British land guns made powerful
~retort; they centered their fire upon
the German convoy in the channel
while ,swarms of British fighter
planes, from both the Royal Air
force and the naval air arm, leaped
up into the engagement.
They roared in force cross the
channel and shortly the German
guns fell silent after hours of inter-
mittent Smelling from ~emplacements
on the Nazi-held French coast.
Great columns of black smoke rose
from the sea between Calais and
Dunkerque, blotting out visibility
from the English side.
Aloft, desperate action still went
on around England's coast. Squad
rons of yellow-nosed German Mes
serschmitt fighters, loosing their
aerial cannon, holly engaged the
British.
The Nazi attack on London, the
fourth since morning, was opened In
bright moonlight.
Shells exploded continuously; steel
fragments fell in showers upon the
city.
Just before midnight the crash OF
the anti-aireraft and the explosions
of falling bombs reached a new
c~rescendo. The streets were alight
with gun flashes.
The extraordinary intensity Of the
barrage made it evident that this
was a raid of great proportions
perhaps even greater than any yet
loosed upon London. There were
so many planes that at times their
motor noise could be heard above the
road of the guns. Now and then an
appalling crash indicated that a
whole stick of bombs--six in a Sc
ries-had been dropped.

1t was officially stated that the
great aerial siege of London begin
ming last Saturday already killed
1,010 and wounded 4,300-and these
figures were inclusive only through
Tuesday.
The government called up all Its
reserves to meet the greater crisis
of threatened invasion and the air
force pounded the German concen.
trations so close to English shores
with the bombs of prevention.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
told the nation that s~elf-propelled
German barges were moving py the
hundreds to Nazi-held ports In
coastal France; that German mer.
chant ships in items Of dozens
were moving in convoy through the
Strait Of Dover; that clearly a
"heavy, ~full-scale invasion Of this
island is being prepared"
The next week, he said, might
bring the hour of the decision.
Just after he spoke, giving the ma
ton a solemn warning that the
great showdown appeared to be close
at hand at last, the air ministry an
nounced that British aircraft already
were in mighty action against these
barges and against the German
bases of invasion.
