BINCO ASSURED
 OFCONTINUANCE
Enough Signatures Se- cured to Give Aldermen
 Chance for Approval

Sufficient additional signatures to the petition asking aldermanic ap- proval of bingo games in Water bury for the year beginning Sept. Is have been secured and legaliza- tion of bingo for the next year is assured. The matter will be taken up by the board of aldermen tonight, but official approval will probably be delayed until the next meeting to allow time for the registrars of voters to examine the petitions and ascertain if the signers are regis tered voters as required by law.
 At the aldermens' last meeting, two weeks ago, the bingo petition was submitted, bearing 1700 names. Approximately 2,300 are required to comply with the statutory require ment that the petition be signed by at least per cent of the voters. Ad- ditional signatures total more than 800, and are more than enough to allow the aldermen to vote an auth orization of bingo for another year.
 The bingo law requires that ap- proval be given each year by the board of alrdermen or the governing body in every city or town where of- ficial approval of the game is sought. Lack of familiarity with the law has resulted in failure to cir culate petitions in some communi- ties and they may be without bingo after Sept. IS.

HENRY WALLACE
 SUCCESSOR NAMED
President Appoints Claude K. Wickard to His
 Cabinet,

Washington, August l9 = (UP)- President Roosevelt today nominated Undersecretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, of Indiana, to succeed Secretary Henry A. Wallace. his campaign running mate whose resignation he accepted a few hours earlier.
 With Wickard's nomination, the president also sent to the Senate the nomination of Paul H. Appleby of Iowa, former assistant to the secre- tary, to succeed Wickard in the un- dersecretaryship.
 Wallace will leave the department September s, to begin active cam- paigning for the vice-presidency. The tone of MT. Roosevelt's letter accepting Wallace's resignation and the immediate nomination of an Indianan to succeed him indicated the administration attaches primary importance to the farm belt vote. where Republicans made considera- ble gains in the 1888 Congressional elections. Indiana is the home state of Republican Presidential Nominee Wendell L. Willkie.

BRITISH CLAIM GREAT VICTORY
Knocked Down 40 Nazi Planes Sunday; Germans
 Attack Again
BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent

\OHltCu 1ICSS SLdA SUEACSpVAuCAst
 London, Aug. 19-(UP)-German war planes streaked over the Eng fish coasts again today as the gov- ernment declared all of Britain a single defense area with civilians liable to dictatorial control by the ministry of home security.
 The Germans resumed their day. light aerial offensive while Britain was claiming the greatest victory of the war in shooting down, ac- cording to official reports, Al of the 600 planes which raided the island yesterday and bombed London sub urbs for the third time since Thurs day. The RAF lost 9 planes, but added 10 pilots were safe.
 A solitary German bomber, ap- parently the precursor to fresh waves of destruction bearing raid- CTS, ventured over the southeast early today, jettisoned a cargo of 100 small bombs and fled when British fighters appeared. Several houses were damaged but casual ties were few.
 A short time later formations of German war planes were reported in the same general area.
 While the Germans launched their second week of mass raids, there were intense Royal Air Force attacks on enemy bases across the Channel.
 AS the time drew nearer when Britors expected Adolf Hitler to undertake troop invasion of these isles, Sir John Anderson, ministry of home security, extended the de- fense areas to include all of Britain in order, he said, to facilitate what ever measures become urgently necessary through enemy landings

VIOLIN PLAYER
 PLAYS IN LUCK
Wandering Minstrel Gains Sympathy of New York
 Judge This Morning

New York, Aug. 19. (UP)-Jean Dix, 20-year-old wandering minstrel from California, who plays the vio- lin so well that even a judge gave him $1, was cleared of a disorderly conduct charge today and in good way to pay of the balance on his $1 500 Guarnarius.
 Dix was arrested last night while playing to crowd in Times Square.
 He told Magistrate William Ringel that he was trying to collect enough money to pay for his violin. The judge asked the youth to play "The old Refrain" and was so moved by the rendition that he suspended sentence and then contributed to the cause.
 Dix said he had been playing since he was five but that 1t was not until he got to a California re- form school-he had taken an un- authorized trip in another's car-- that his talent ripened. There, au- thorities gave him instruction and he won c scholarship at Whittier College at Los Angeles. where he studied from 1885 to 1887. Then he started east.
 He persuaded Q music dealer in Cleveland to loan him Q s25 fiddle and within three days he had paid for it with his collections. From then on he progressed to better inc struments until c few months ago when, after giving Q deal some ei.. 400 Of his savings, he was entrusted with the quarnarius. He hopes e pay on the remaining ef00 on il within Q short time.
 The Judge was co impressed by the youths efforts that iie told him to check the violin iH the police station fvsry night lest # De stolen
