that he didn't expect anything''
from the Republicans. And he add
ed that, if the Dem 0crats' platform

he'll call a convention Of his own.
1t seemed hard to interpret such a
promise as meaning otherwise than
a third tickets nomination-or how
could his independent convention
have any significance at all? 1t
might not imply the creation Of an
out-and-out new party as a perman-
ency. It might be only an attempt
to assimilate certain groups of both
Republicans and Democrats into his
new alignment, leaving the remain
ING Republicans and Democrats,
each out on limb. And then, pre-
sumably, his bunch presently would
become the Democratic party, the

than 1000 dead and injured.
Towns near London and in South
western England also were raided.
London's ground guns, credited
with having beaten back several at

stop the renewed onslaught after
midnight. A communique said,

boarding house was smashed and
another bomb wrecked a pub.
Two bombs hit shop where nearly
