 IN SEA BORNE SCHEME
Second Attempt Revealed in Report of Disastrous
 Battle dt Sea
cBy ASSOCIATED .PREss)

Great Britain smashed the Ger man attempt to invade England, the London Air Ministry officially disclosed, and simultaneously Hit ler's High Command admitted that a naval clash off England's Bristol Channel, which may have been "feeler" for new invasion thrust, also failed.
 Sea Battle Failure
 The Nazi High Command said German destroyers and submarines, circling Lands End. on the West Coast of England on the Atlantic, boldly" attacked a superior Brit ish naval force yesterday but was beaten back with some disaster. The British cruiser force was ably supported by destrove~s
 Attempted Invasion Fali4 N
 Authoritative BriIlsn sou. o~s said the Nazis attempted to launch sea borne invasion on September 16 but Royal Air Force bombers wrought such havoc among the em- parked troops that the plan was abruptly cancelled on September 20.
 10000 Nazis Die
 A high official of a conquered nation, arriving in New York City, said German officers told him that practice maneuvers for an invas- ion cost the Germans 10000 men and bodies of the German soldiers were washe ed ashore at French channel invasion ports.
 It has been frequently reported that thousands of bodies of German soldiers were washed ashore several weeks ago, but this is the first official confirmation
 RAF Offensive
 The British admission is the first made that Hitler did attempt to invade England on September 16 and actually started troops across the English Shannel to storm the Is- land. The statement says many German troops embarked but later were taken off the ships as the sustained offensive of the Royal Air forces was too great and the losses suffered by the Germans were

ROME, Oct. 18.A-Two leading government controlled Italian new5- papers have taken most threaten ing tone against Greece and Tur- key.
 One of them accuses the Greeks of secretly allowing the British fleet to use their naval bases.
 In the Giornale d1talia, Editor Gayda writes. History inevitably will call these two nations to a reckoning
 Another newspaper, the Corriere P'adano, attacks the Turkish press for it's alleged pro-British stand It said the British are doing their best to drag the Turks into Euro pean conflict.

WASHINGTON-Oct. Is. - Pre- paredness Note: Rep. Stephen Pace comes from the peach country down in Georgia His home is that city bearing probably the most pa triotic of all names, Americus, but his principal interest at the mo- ment is nothing less than peanut butter.
 The other day MT. Pace took himself into the holy sanctums of the Army and there made an im- passioned plea for consideration of the mashed goober as a con- tribution to the defense of the nation
 Peanut butter, said MT. Pace, is a wonderful food and would con- tribute to the health and energy of our armed forces. He explained that the estimated peanut crop for 194O amounts to 760,000 tons, of which at least 100000 tons is sur

mand has repeatedly insisted that the RAF has "planlessly'' bombed Germany without hitting military obectives.
 Informed sources expressed buoy ant belief today that the Hitler manufacturing machine, supplying replacements to the army and the navy in ships and planes, has been at least temporarily wrecked.
 The British bombing plan has gone so far as to include such ob- jectives as factories in which spark plugs for airplane and tank en- zines are manufactured.
 Magneto making plants, alumin- um casting factories. oil refining plants, all have been repeatedly bombed by the British in their broad plan to cripple Hitler's replacement machinery while the British fac- tory organization continues to &C., celterate production.

Secret Plans 10 Be Pressed Into Action : Navy
 Command Changes

LONDON, Oct. 18.-Two' signifi- cant changes in the Royal Navy Command and talk of hurrying new secret planes into action against the Nazis and increase the punch of her air arm, both in defense and of- fense, are the important announce ments made by the Government to- night.
 Vice Admiral John Tovey, destroy CT expert and hero of the Battle of Jutland, has taken over com mand of the Home Fleet, in step generally interpreted as the fore runner of an intensified sea war fare.
 Admiral Sir Henry Harwood, hero of the battle of the River Platte, has been promoted to the post of Lord Commissioner of the Admir- alty which is Assistant Chief Of the Naval Staff.

NIGHT RAID ON LONDON
 IS RESUMED
Clouds, However, Make Perfect BIdCkout Over
 City, Also Channel

LONDON, Oct 18.-The nightly air raid alarm sounded early this evening at the start of the And consecutive night air attack directed at this British Capital City. Only one general daylight attack was made during the day.
 Tonight Londoners see very lit tie of the raiders because of dense clouds but the drone of the motors can be heard.
 The clouds give a blackout here as well as over the English channel and curtailed both British and Ger man air operations.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The British Air Ministry reports today that the RAF master scheme of bombing Germany has partially wrecked several war factories in Berlin and almost gutted the Berlin General Postoffice"
 In contrast to repeated German discrediting of British bombings, t is announced that RAF raids have seriously affected German rail and water transport and dam aged great industrial plants over wide area"
 Repeated bombing blasts at vital Ruhr factories, at Essen, on scat tered cil refineries and such ship ping ports as Hamburg, where the Nazis officially announced having recently sent 4,000 Dutch laborers for reconstruction work, have made telling mark on the Hitler war machine, it is declared.

WASHINGTON-The Dies Inve5- tigating Committee now has docu- mentary evidence of Nazi filth col umn operations in the U. $. su explosive that it's publication might lead to complete rupture of dlp- lomatic relations with Germany
 Because of this likelihood of ln- ternational complications the com mittee has been nervously sitting on the load of dynamite, uncertain what to do. It has. consulted the State Department, which is just as jittery itself.
 In fact, even more so. The De partment foresees the inevitable necessity of demanding the recall of a number of German diplomatic representatives, with certain re- taliation by Berlin by the busting of U. S. officials. In the present delicate state of the U. S.-Axis re- lations, the Department doesn't want to run that risk.
 So on it's urgent advice, the Com mittee is sitting tight and con- tinuing its secret probe of the sub- versive activities. The documentary evidence in the possession of the committee is staggering. It defin- itely establishes:
 1. That the Nazi government l.; directly supervising and financing a nationwide fifth column cam paign to oppose and obstruct tsr' defense program, the U. s. GOV ernment's foreign policy and alc to Great Britain.
 2. That this activity IS pelie carried on through German con sulates and German controiie0 papers, plus propaganda agencies of various kinds
 8. That Nazi Consuls get oe- tailed instructions from Berilil through regular short-wave broad casts in code.

President of the Laundry Workers
International Union, started his
Labor career in 1905 by organic
ing teamsters in the city of Chi

the successful organization of this
