DOUBLE ASSAULT

LONDON. Aug. 24.-The thunder of gunfire and bombs in the direc- tion of the Thames Estuary was heard this afternoon during the sec ond air raid alarm today which IS marked by double barreled Ger man assault by new waves of bomb CTS and cross-channel long range guns laying down fire.
 A heavy barrage of anti-aircraft fire ringed London and screaming dogfights ragged over the north eastern outskirts.
 Early this morning small squad ron of bombers loosed 200 or 300 incendiary bombs in single area of the Midlands.
 Twenty -one b om b CTS unloaded cargoes on southeast coast town.
 It is said that along the English Channel a pail of smoke blots out the white cliffs as the result or cross channel big gun fire and re- sponse of British gun fire.
 The wings of the invaders, glist- ening in the sunlight. furnished excellent targets for the British anti-aircraft guns.
 The Nazi bombers flew in close formation and thus made excellent shots for the land defenders. The pilots of the close-flying bombers are evidently untrained pilots but presumably led by an experienced sqaudron leader.

WASHINGTON = The man who handles American relations inside the Nazi government is Dr. Hans Dieckhoff, former Ambassador to the United States and one of the ablest diplomats ever to operate in Wash ington.
 Dr. Dieckhoff is the brother-in law of Foreign Minister von Rlb- bentrop and also served as Lieu tenant during the World War with General Wilhelm Keitel Chief of Staff. S ohas not trouble in getting his views across to Hitler.
 According to diplomatic informa- ton received here, wise Ambassa dor Dieckhoff passed the word to Hitler last winter not to answer any of the speeches or statements made by Roosevelt or any leaders of the Roosevelt Administration. To do so. he advised, would merely arouse the American people.
 He also pointed out that this was an election year in the United States, when the public was more concerned with domestic politics than anything else, and that if Hit Ter ignored the United States and went out of his way to be concilia- tory, there would be little danger of American intervention.
 Tn accord with this policy, no statements have come from Hitler regarding the United States except the very conciliatory interviews given to Karl von Wiegand, in which Hitler emphasized the point that Germany had no terest in the Western HemiSphere

MYSTERIOUS DIR. wEsTRICK

Ambassador Dieckhoff also is re- ported to have advised that after the war was over, the United States would be among the first to want to do business with Germany, and the operations of Dr. Gerhard Westrick, now famous Nazi commercial coun- selor, appear to be in conformity with that policy.
 According to New York business men with whom Dr. Destrick talked, he was preaching the idea as early as last spring, that Germany would be ready to do business with the United States by Sept. IS. When New York businessmen laughed at the idea that the war would be over by that time, Dr. Westrick is quoted as saying:
 T am not a military man, so can't discuss these things. But the people who ought to know in Berlin tell me that we can do business after Sept. Is"
