War Moves On
Today's Board
BY j. T. MASON
UNITED Press War Expert

Renewed reports that Germany IS
completing the long heralded plans
for invading Great Britain do not
coincide, from the standpoint of
military strategy, with he present
German air tactics. Tie natural
preliminary to an invasion should
be an intensive, unremitting air Of
fensive against the British aviation
arm coupled with devastating bomb
ings at possible coastal landing
places. Instead of these normally
essential pre- invasion movements,
the Germans are continuing to con-
centrate their efforts upon ven
geance raids against London.
1t is possible, of course, that the
German high command believes it
has sufficiently exhausted British
air power and has done enough
damage to the British coast to make
an invasion possible after more con-
fusion has been caused in London.
Any evidence, however, COR such an
assumption is not openly known.
Invasion Foolhardy.
Concentration of transports and
troops on the German occupied side
of the Channel points to technical
preparedness for embarkation. But,
until the way is cleared for the
crossing and landing, an attempt at
invasion would be foolhardy. 1t
would be In keeping with German
military efficiency, however, to make
advance preparations fer the en-
barkation, while awaiting a possible
turn of events giving some hope
that the troops could be ferried
across.
Weather uncertainties in the
Channel usually begin next week.
Appearance of equinoctial gales in
the latter part of September is I'M
reliable and the Germans might
take a chance that they would not
be heavy this season. But October
is almost certainly a month OF
strong winds alternating with the
start of the foggy season along the
English coast.
Lucky Fortnight.
At this time of year the Germans
might count on lucky fortnight OF
continuously faM Channel weather.

FiUe-Year Old Boy
Is Badly Injured

St. Mary's hospital staff
physicians were striving late this
afternoon to save the right leg
of five year old Ralph Ruggles,
Jr., of 1O6 South street, which
was mangled by a truck earlier
today.
The child was reported to be
in great pain, but bearing his
injury bravely. Hospital alta
ches said young Ruggles was
pinned beneath a dairy truck
when the vehicle rolled down
hill after its brakes were re-
leased by some children.
The operator of the truck,

avenue, was delivering milk in a
nearby house, when the acct
dent occurred. Capt. william

Ropes were strung across streets

Berlin, September IL. =
(UP) = At least 40 persons
were killed and 40 injured in
the British air raids last
night on Berlin, Hamburg
and Bremen which caused
numerous fires and damage
to homes and workers col
onies," the high command
said today.
In communique the high COM
mand said that German bomber,
pursuiter and destroyer squadrons
continued reprisal attacks against
London, day and night" scoring
hits on docks, harbor works, gas
and electricity plants, one power
and one arms factory, causing
bright fires"
The Official News Agency said
that there were no casualties In
Berlin.
Increasingly furious over the Brit
ish raids, Nazi sources threatened
Great Britain with terrible reprisals
and said that up to 10000 planes a
day, including fighters, might soon
be used against London.
10000 Planes Day
After consultation with military
authorities, the sources said that
the use of 10000 planes a day was
entirely possible and that more
might even be used. Naturally, II
was said, no responsible German
quarter would suggest when such 9
force might be used. But, they
added, it was notable that flying
weather was now most favorable.

London, September IL. -
CUP : Military experts re-
vealed today that a new type
of anti-aircraft defense was
employed in London last
night and displayed notable
success in protecting the
great metropolis against Ger
man bombers. With further
practice and improvements
the experts said, the system should
prove even more effective in break
ing up mass German raids.
All London was aware of the new
system as soon as German planes
came over. British anti-aircraft
fire exploded with a roar such as
the city had never before heard. Il
continued hour after hour with
obvious effectiveness.
Military experts said that the sys-
tenn was based on a new "predictor'
method.
(Tbis would indicate use of new
device for determining more &C
curately and exactly the location and
altiture of raiding planes)
They did not amplify the state
ment. However, it was noted that
for the first time searchlight bat
teries that ring London were moi
employed.
That led to the possibility tha'
a fire might be directed by sounc
amplifiers. Such systems of fir
control have been employed by tn,
q. S. Army and, to some extent, b!
the Germans.
Another Feature
Another feature of the British
defense was the continuous nature
of the barrage. Instead of direct
ing fire at individual planes the
British guns sent up continuous
curtain of fire that canopied the
metropolis.
Anti-aircraft shell fragments
rained down like hail. Experts sale

President Roosevelt's bid for labor
votes was based today on plans for
early expansion of social security
benefits, including higher old age
pensions, and such compulsory CO.
ordination of industry as may be
necessary for national defense.
Mr.. Roosevelt officially opened his
third campaign for the presidency
last night before the convention OF

and Helpers of America assembled
in constitution hall. He reminded
the cheering unionists that their
membership had swollen under the
new deal from 10000 to 100000.
Earlier the convention had endorsed
a third term.
Mr.. Roosevelt's address to the
teamsterS somewhat clarified the Is
sue of compulsory industrial co-or-
dination with the defense program
which had arisen between them.
Industry Coordination
Mr.. Roosevelt, after determined
silence, now has endorsed compul-
sorry coordination of industry, with
provision for adequate compensation
as a proposal to which no reasonable
person could object. He said he did
