New England Pays
Spending Bill, WiIIkie
Tells Bay Staters
Contrasts Benefits With
Revenue Collections;
Boston Speech Tonight
BY J. A. O'LEARY,
Star Stan correspondent.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. IL
Opening his fight for the II elec-
toral votes of Massachusetts,, Wen
dell Willkie. Republican presidential
nominee, told this community today
that other sections of the country
have profited from New Deal spend
ing, at the expense of New England.
In Boston tonight Mr.. Willkie
plans to take as his text failure of
the present administration to accept
responsibility.
Mr.. Willkie came into the Bay
State this morning, after being
greeted in Rhode Island last night
by one of the most enthusiastic
crowds of his campaign. A crowd
that overflowed the grandstand of
the Narragansett Park race track
near Providence interrupted his
speech with loud choruses of I'VE
want Willkie."
At Narragansett the Republican
nominee took a recent statement
VI tllC DCilloSi dllS 1~dllOlldl SOlll-
mission to prove his claim that
the New Deal has no faith in this
country's ability to put the idle back
to work.
Sees Defeatist Policy.
In that statement Mr.. Willkie
said, the Democrats took the posi-
ton that no man could fulfill the
promise he has been making to
provide a job in private industry
for every worker. Accepting the
challenge, Mr.. Willkie made this
answer:
There you have in one brief
sentence the whole platform and
the whole philosophy of the New
Deal.
"It asserts that there can never
be jobs in private industry for all
our workers. With that philosophy
I emphatically disagree. On that
issue I am happy to take my stand"
In Fall River this morning Mr.
Willkie quoted figures to show that
Massachusetts, pays into the Federal
Treasury far more than it gets
back in Federal benefits, while States
in the South receive benefits great
ly in excess of taxes paid, on a per
capita basis.
"And that is one reason" he said,
"why your factories up here in New
England are idle while new fac
tories that compete with you are
being built in Mississippi, Arkansas
and Alabama"
1t will be effective argument to
strengthen his chances of carrying
Massachusetts,, especially since he
has no chance of carrying the three

Gov. James H. Price OF Virginia
today made known the personnel
of the draft boards which will sit
in nearby Alexandria City. Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties, along
with all other draft boards for the

The announcement came after the
receipt in Richmond of the board

the recommendation of the Vir-
ginia executive. Two boards will
serve in Arlington County, while
single groups will handle the draft
work in both Fairfax County and

1t is the duty Of the various
boards to direct all details incident
to the draft after the actual regis
tration of men between the ages
of 81 and IS is carried out on
Wednesday.
Cards Will Be Numbered.
Upon completion of the registra-
ton work, the registration cards
filled out by the potential draftees
will be presented to the various
draft boards, which, in turn, will
assemble, shuttle and number them
preparatory to the drawing Of draft
numbers in Washington.
When the drawing of numbers to
select draftees is conducted in
Washington, the cards of the Vir-
ginia boards bearing numbers CORE
spending to those drawn in Wash
ington will be picked from the files
and the persons registered under the
cards will be forwarded draft ques-
tionnaires.
On the basis of the answers to the
questionnaires, the boards will pick
the various draftees and make de-
ferments. Appeals to the boards
decisions will be handled by the
appeal agents designated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The duties of the examining ply
sician will be to examine the physi-
cal condition of possible draftees as
directed by the boards. The Gov
ernment appeal agents will act
when necessary to protect the in
terests of any registrant and of the
Government

The charge was made while a
campaign to make Rumania an out

With only determined 95-year-

ing scarcely more than so men,
moved up Constitution avenue today,
as the United Confederate Veterans

Gen. Julius P. Howell, commander
in chief of the U. c. ", rode in an

Maj. Gen. r. S. Hudgins of Rich

| LONDON, Oct. 11.-ThiS capitals
defenders aground and aloft were
reported to have hurled back four
separate German air thrusts today
and to have turned the fifth into a
great twisting sky battle over the
southeast coast.
The fifth alarm of the day came
at tea time when German planes
swept in over Kent, lodging in and
out of cloudbankS to escape the
withering fire of coastal anti-air-
craft batteries.
Suddenly large force of r. A. F.
fighters appeared and the drone and
scream of planes in combat in the
feecy clouds could be heard. One
of the raiders was reported shot
down in the vicinity of Kingston
Hill.
Four Planes Claimed.
Reports received up to pm, the
Air Ministry said, showed that Ger
many and Britain each had lost four
planes in today's air fighting, but
that all the flyers of the downed
British planes were saved.
A swift succession of AFRAID
alarms and all-clear signals, the
rumble of anti-aircraft fire and the
drone of protecting planes told Lon
doners the story of attack and de-
fense.
While massed German planes were
roaring over the southeast coast this
morning. only to be tackled inland
by Britain's heavily-gunned Spit
fires and Hurricanes, one of the at
tackers was reported by residents to
have machine -gunned the streets of
a coastal town IN dive attack.
The German attackers were pre-
dominantly Messerscnmitt 109's, sin
gle-seater fighting monoplanes. each
armed with 23-millimeter cannon in
the propeller shaft and four ma
chine guns, but also capable Of
carrying small bono loads.
Germany is Using fewer heavy
bombers in the siege of England,
preferring for some reason to en-
ploy the Messerschmitts as combi-
nation fighter -bombers.
Raiders, flying at a great height,
bombed a southeast coast town early
in the afternoon, and many work
mems cottages were reported dam
aged, with some casualties.
Reports came from the Kent coast
that 40 German fighters flying at
great height crossed the Channel
during the morning and proceeded
inland.
A formation of nine German
planes was said to have turned tail
when anti-aircraft shells burst di-
rectly in front of it.
Night Attack Cut Short.
The Nazi raiders roared over Eng
land anew after breaking off their
regular night attack much earlier
than usual. They were believed to
have dropped many time bombs on
the embattled island during the
widespread dusk-to dawn assaults.
Liverpool dispatches said 40 high
explosive bombs dropped on its port
and shipyards in the longest raid of
the war in that area, resulting in
several casualties. Three bombs mar
rowly missed a movie theater.
Several narrow escapes were re-
ported in the London night raids.
One hundred employees of a London
club escaped injury when a bomb
fell near their basement shelter.
Barricaded windows were blown in.
A watchman in a one-man "cylin-
DER shelter was uninjured, although
a building was demolished above
his refuge.

shelter under a seven-story office

 I5 URGENT PLEA
 IN JUNEAU NOW
H. [. Faulkner Urges Speed in Subscribing Quota
 for Refugees

Appealing for contributions to the Red Gross fund for relief of suffering in Europe. H. L. Faulkner in radio address here on Saturday evening described the conquest now in pro gress as the most horrible in the history of the world.
 The Juneau chapters quota in the Red Cross drive is $l200.
 Excerpts from Faulkner's address are as follows:
 Our troubles fade into inSignif1- canoe when compared with the aw- ful suffering which has so suddenly and without warning been visited on millions of helpless human beings so recently in Norway, Holland, Bel eium and Northern France and which seem so certainly in store for England; the mass murder of old men and of women and children, the wounds inflicted on the surviv- ors. the destruction of their prop erty, their homes, their fields and their crops.
 Worst in History
 Nothing comparable with it has been known before in the whole history of the human race, either among civilized nations or the most cruel and uncivilized savages.
 'sWs have endeavcred to be neu- tral, to stand idly by while the very foundations of all free institutions and all representative government are being blasted to the dust of ob- livion by the most cruel, relentless murderous, bloodthirsty, un c r. handed nation of lying, deceiving hyprocritical outlaws with which the world has ever been disgraced
 "Whatever we do for the stricken peoples of Europe, either in the form of relief for the wounded and destitute or in some more direct and effective manner to prevent further slaughter, we are doing 1t for the defense of our own nation; for it is high time Amricans loo : ed how to separate fact from fic- ton and to take a realistic vlew Of world events. Hitler makes no secret of his intention to crush democracy and representative gover n m n l. freedom and liberty wherever Ger mans live or can live He aims to dominate every country on earth worth domina ting, including ours.
 Threat TG U. $.
 Our country will never be safe so long as this tiger in human form rules Germany and so long as the German people follow his leader ship, for he is the most resourceful and masterful liar in the living world and he can never be trusted. Free dom and liberty, law and order can never be safe anywhere SO long as the present Germany exists; and events of the last two weeks indi- cate that she is getting the upper hand.
 The very least we can do today. for the sake of humanity and de- cency, and in our own best inter est, is to help relieve some of the awful consequences of savage, brutal and pillage and ruin visited on millions of innocent persons in Europe; with the realization that if their countries go down to destruc- ti onin this, the worst catastrophe in history, our turn may well be next; and that whatver we may do to help them, helps us.
 The amount called for by the Red Cross should be promptly and willingly subscribed.
