Plett said the CAA airport bill, if

The matter of the Juneau airport
development is still contingent upon
''who gets there first"-the CAA or

strategic Importance both from

LABOR TALK
BY WILLkIE
IN SEATTLE
-Four New Deal Set -ups Are
Highly Praised by
COP Nominee

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-Wendell L..
Willkie, in his first major labor
speech of his campaign, asserted
here last night that he has the ut
most belief in the Wagner Labor
Act the Wage and Hour Law, the
Social Security and Unemployment
Relief, all New Deal set-ups but
incidentally made a slip, which he
did not correct, when he stated,
land I promise the laboring classes
the minimum wages for maximum
hours"
The Republican nominee said no
American can contemplate the flu
ture with an easy mind, unless he
can see in the future a society will
ing and able to provide the workers
with at least as much protection
as provided in the Labor Act, Wage
and Hour Law. Social Security and
Unemployment relief.
Mr.. Willkie attacked the New
Deal for what he called its failure
to create jobs IN private industry,
charging that the New Deal was
eliminating the employer and grad
ually leaving the state as the only
employer. He declared that the
only hope of making new jobs is
to establish new business but the
New Deal apparently is discouraging
this.
Willkie declared tina. sit is about
as harmful today to start a new
business as it is to rob train, and
the risks of going to Jail are about
the same in both cases"

one hour and half and columns of
black smoke are seen arising from
Gibraltar, apparently fires set by
bombs when they hit stores of gaso-

tBy Associated Press)

British Royal Air Force dive bomb
ers are reported to have sunk four
German troopships in an attack off
the French coast near Boulogne
while Nazi airmen said they "ef-
fectively" bombed London and the
big Waterloo station on the Thames
side and also the India docks.
Geysers of spray as high as the
coastal cliffs shrouded the Nail ships
as five Raj Blenheim bombers
dropped the first salvo of explosives.
When the air cleared, the Asso-
ciated Press observer on the Dover
coast, saw only one ship remaining
and with the second attack of the
Raj bombers the last ship disap-
peared. * 's. "a. 4,
Torpedo-carrying German E-boats
raced out to the scene from Bou-
logne but quickly turned around
and sped back to the harbor az
more bombs were dropped and ex-
ploded near them.
INVASION COunteTeO
Countering the German invasion
preparations with all of its power,
the British air force raped home
blow for blow in the attack on the
German ships caught out on the
English Channel and carrying out
the greatest raid of the war and also
leaving many German-held French
coast ports in flames.
Eye witnesses saw five British
bombers dive in line upon four
medium -sized German troop ships
approaching the English coast from
Boulogne. The bombers apparently
went out with the purpose Of sink
ing the ships and did.
The Channel was almost a.
smooth as glass.
Geysers of water hid the ships
from view after the first barrage
of bombs. When one ship was seen
to remain afloat, a second diving
attack was made and after the gey-
sers and smoke settled. that ship
had disappeared from view, sunk in
the channel, according to observers
on the British coast of Folkestone.
Berlin Attacked
British sources also said attacks
on Berlin were carried out during
the night by relays of British planes.
Successful shots were made on
railway stations at Berlin and the
city's main power station and gas
works are said by the British fliers
to have been bombed and quickly
roared into flames, becoming fam
ing beacons that guided the way for
subsequent attacks on freight yards
and station utilities.
Early this morning. two more air
raid alarms we're sounded in Lon
don as huge formations of German
planes warmed over the southeast
coast on England in a thrust on
London.
