 Told About British

shot down in the fight, including ! three in or near the Greater London area.
 In one of the four areas in which bombs were dropped it was reported that one hit 8 fire station and a first aid post In another area a house was demolished but an elderly woman and her servant who were in the dwelling escaped.
 Londoners, refreshed by a good nights sleep, took the alarm in stride. Men and women who were playing tennis in Lincolns Inn Fields continued their game. Others lounged in deck chairs.
 The Germans appeared to be util- izing new tactics. Formations of 12 and 15 planes headed for London across the southeast coast at inter- vals. Previously the Germans had sent formations of 50 to 30 planes toward London from different direc- tions.
 Nazis Split In Half
 Over the southeast town a for midable fleet of German bomber planes had been split in half by ter rife anti-aircraft gun fire. British Spitfire planes streaked into the halves. The pressure of the German planes was so great that the first de- fense planes were forced slowly back, but more and more arrived.
 The German planes fought the Spitf1res so high above the earth that they could hardly be seen, and only the burst of anti-aircraft shells, the rattle of machine gun fire and the streaks of smoke from airplanes told the progress of the fight
 The German planes, broken up into formations of from 20 to 30 each, persistently sought to break through the anti-aircraft barrage and the Spitfire defense line.
 Half dozen dog fights were in progress at once as the fight contin- ued.
 Over London, as millions awaited the expected crash of bombs, a single plane was audible from the tower of the United Press building. There was no gun fire in the center of the city and there was no sound of bombs from the outskirts, so it was taken that the plane was British one.
 Tried To Break Through
 It appeared that the Germans over the southeast were making a determined attempt to break through toward the London area.
 Flashes from the scene as the fight progressed said that it looked as if most of them had been turned back.
 More and more British fighter planes arrived over the area and darted into the fight, wheeling and diving and circling the district.
 The aviators were so intent on their battle that the Germans were not dropping bombs.
 The London alarm had come after a quiet night, in which Londoners were left to sleep for the first time in a week while German planes concentrated attacks on reduced scale in industrial centers of north- western England.

ponents in an effort to make political capital.
 MT. Roosevelt placed his endorse ment on the acceptance speech of Henry A. Wallace in which his run- ning-mtae accused the Republican party of representing the appease- ment party in the United States.
 He was asked specifically whether he concurs in Wallace's charge. That question, he said, does not require an answer. The Wallace speech speaks for itself xcellently-he said.
 Last night, however, he tele- graphed Wallace his congratulations on the address, after listening to a radio broadcast of the speech which officially launched te New Deals campaign for third term.
 Regrets His Absence
 A few hours earlier, he had tele- graphed Wallace, informing him of his regret that he was unable to be in Des Moines to hear the address. Wallace replied to the two tele- grams with the following message:
 ''Your two wires were greatly ap- preciated by the Wallaces. I hope we have made an appropriate be- ginning in upholding your hands in the defense fo democracy. It is heart-warming to work for appreci- ation such as yours. (Signed) The Wallaces."

HENRY WALLACE
 MAKES ADDRESS

tContinued from Page D assailed them as threats to the se- curity of the United States.
 Powerful elements in our oppo- sition will, if the Republicans come into power, force us to make one economic concession after another to the totalitarian countries" Wal lace declared.
 "These appeasers will have their way if the Republicans win, because they will have contributed largely, both politically and financially, to the Republican cause"
 Inspired By Hitler
 He said he did not wish to imply that the Republican leaders are "wilfully and consciously giving aid and comfort to Hitler" He added, however: Some of the bitter attacks on Roosevelt's program were directly inspired by the agents of Hitler in this country"
 Wallace said a Republican victory might give the totalitarian powers an opportunity for an early attack upon the Americas. "In the many months that would elapse before a new administration could act effec- lively, they might have their chance" he asserted. The appeasers believe the Repub- hcans in power would give them profitable business with German controlled Europe, Wallace said. He declared that the Roosevelt admin istration knows the dangers of making economic concessions to the dictators."
 Develops Preparedness Wallace declared that the United States is developing preparedness on all fronts" through a stronger national economy as well as rearma- ment. Defense armament has been doubled under the Roosevelt admin iStration.
 He charged that defense prepara- tions have been met with short sighted obstructionist tactics" and that now some of the Republicans are beginning to see that the nation really is in danger defense is going ahead"
 Agriculture has kept pace with in- dustry in national defense through production of foodstuffs and feed, Wallace continued.
 The New Deal farm program has been such a success that Republican leaders are now commenting it in the hope of getting farm votes next November.
 President Listens In
 Hyde Park, N. r., Aug. 30-(UP)- President Roosevelt last night list- ened to radio broadcasts of the acc ceptance speech of his running mate Henry A. Wallace and then tele- graphed Wallace that he had made a glorious start" of the third term campaign.
 Mrs. Roosevelt listened in with the president ct their Hyde Park home here.
 The presidents telegram said: "A grand speech and splendidly given before an appreciative nation. We have been sitting ct the radio and only wish that ell of us Roosevelts could have been with the wallaces in Des Moines tonight. You have made . glorious start. All good luck and my affectionate regards"

WAR MOVES ON
 TODAY'S BOARD

(Continued from Page ID would be taking serious risks if he attempted to annex more Rumanian territory at the expense of war with Germany, not only because of German military superiority but also because he might find himself in- volved in a simultaneous war in the Far East.
 Explosive Zone
 But Hitler and MuSSolini, too, would be moving into a highly ex- plosive zone if they engaged in hos tilities against Russia while con- ducting their war against the Brit ish Empire. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin all face a quandary and the uncertainties which now exist are beneficial to Britain. Germany's full offensive power cannot be con- centrated against the British. Hit Ter now must hold back heavy re- serves because of the Russian enig- ma.
 Other ways than warfare may be open to Stalin to cause new confu- SionS for Germany and Italy. A revolution in Rumania might be fo- mented, leading to a general Dan- ubian war with Russia urging Bull garia to obtain more of Dobruja than has been awarded her. It has been consistent Russian policy to fish in such troubled waters.
 Too, Russia could give free hand to Turkey, releasing the Turks from their uneasiness over Stalin's dis pleasure if they gave full help to Britain in the middle east. If Stalin were secretly to inform the Turks of his benevolence toward them, it would be blow to totalitarian mili- tary plans involving the eastern Mediterranean and Suez.
 The one certainty of totalitarian intervention in the Balkans is that Hitler and Mussolini have not calm ed the situation there sufficiently to allow themselves to forego further military watchfulness. They must be on constant guard against Com munist craft.
 Germany and Russia have a To- year non-aggression pact. Germany, however, had a similar treaty with Poland and Hitler frequently point ed to it as evidence of his peaceful intentions. So paper agreement is trustworthy between Stalin and Hit Ter. Both know this, as the drift to- ward pre-war enmity, temporarily halted last year, now seems well un- der way, as the consequence of the turn of events in the Balkans.

MT. Roosevelt to Q meeting of the Roosevelt Home Club, an organiza- ton of the presidents loyal friends and supporters in Republican Duch- eSs County.
 MT. Roosevelt, however, insisted that Hopkins visit here carries no political implications of any kind. There is no news in Hopkins visit; he is on no political mission; he will make no speech here; and no poll tics are involved, Mir. Roosevelt said with the. greatest possible emphasis. Quite . Little Smoke MT. Roosevelt declared that he had noticed a considerable amount of smoke" around the congressional controversy over profits made from naval contracts by the architectural firm operated by Lawrence w. (Chip) Robert, secretary of the Democratic National Committee. If there is any improper fire behind all that smoke" he said, he hopes that congress will go right after the matter and tkae appropriate action.
 Chairman Carl O. Vinson, D., Ga., of the House Naval Affairs commit tee, had submitted in the House a report showing that Robert and Co. recevied naval contracts totaling $26, ,859, ,081, providing $931 ,560 in fees.
 Senator Styles Bridges, R., N. H., followed that revelation with a de- mand that MT. Roosevelt call upon Robert to resign as secretary of the Democratic National Committee. Demanding that Attorney General Robert H. Jackson investigate Roberts activities. Bridges charged that it is "quite probable" that the Hatch clean politics law has been violated.
 Turning to problems of national defense, MT. Roosevelt said he has not yet signed orders which will call. first contingents of the Ma tional Guard and organized reserve into active service for 8 years sea- soning.
 Orders For 55,OOO Men
 The orders, expected to call up an initial 55,00O men, are expected shortly, however, to permit the men to begin training by about Septem- Der IS. The president explained that necessary papers involved in the orders have not yet reachd him from Washington. He reported that very excellent progress is being made in conver- sations with Great Britain for acquisition of naval and air bases on Britain's western hemisphere possessions. No announcement can be made, however, since the negoti- ations are very complicated, he said. He said that he does not have any opinion on the matter from Attor- lney General Robert H. Jackson.
 Likewise, said the president, there is nothing to be said now on the proposals for sale of United States world War destroyers to Great Britain.
 The president said he still is work ing on the question of national la bor board personnel, but is not ready for an announcement. The five-year term of NL.R.B. chairman J. war ren Madden expired last Monday, and MT. Roosevelt has given no in- dication whether he will be reap pointed.

 Extensive blazes at individual ob- jectives, particularly the port of Liv- erpool, showed the success of the raids" the high command said. "The mining of British harbors was con- tinued."
 ADMITS BRITISH RAIDS
 It was admitted that last night British planes again dropped bombs on non-military targets in western Germany"
 The communique said that in the Ruhr district residential quarters were hit at several places. The Brit ish bombs started fires which, the high command said were extin- guished quickly.
 "Other wise damage done was in- significant" the communique said. During their night flights into the Ruhr district two enemy aircraft were brought down by anti-aircraft artillery. Tn air battles yesterday le enemy airplanes were shot down and six barrage ablloons were de- stroyed."
 It was admitted that seven Ger man planes were missing.
 The high command reported that a German submarine returning to It's base had reported the sinking of three enemy merchant ships total- ling 2i 900 tons from . strongly pros tected convoy. The attack on the convoy was said to have occurred at night.

Today's action followea a night in which German raiders for the first time in many nights left London almost untouched. Other parts of Britain suffered, however, particularly two towns in the northwest, the Midlands region and a town in the northeast and regions of South Wales.
 Against Liverpool
 The German high command as- serted that these attacks were di- rected against Liverpool and neigh boring Birkenhead, airfields in Lincoln and Suffolk counties, in- dustrial works at Felixstone, an aircraft plant at Weybridge and port facilities at Ounce, Leith, and Hartlepool.
 London reported, that German bombs, mostly incendiaries, fell in 45 separate localities during the night. Some were dropped on Lon don's outskirts, but no alarm was given in the metropolis and citizens slept through the night undisturb- ed.
 Police were Investigating the possibility that fifth columnists were setting fires and giving light signals to night German raiders. One arrest has been made in the inquiry.
 Berlin reported that British raid- CTS again swept into Germany last night, attacking points in western Germany and the Ruhr. Little damage was admitted.
 German air experts claimed that the British were utilizing secret varnish which made their bombers invisible to searchlight crews and attributed the British success in attacking Berlin to this development. They also said the British raids on the German cap ital were remarkable feats of nav igation and suggested that veteran commercial air pilots probably carriej out the attacks.
 In London the suggestion of a secret varniSh" was termed a German excuse for the failure of Berlin searchlight crews to spot the British planes.
 Italy, reporting on the war in the Near East, claimed that Marsa Matruh, the British Egyptian base, was bombed heavily and that mili- tary sheds, warehouses and rail- road yards were hit. Italian planes also bombed Malta, Arbo and Fl Bhai, near Garissa in Kenya and Italian forces attacked Buna in Kenya.
 A British bombing of Mogadiscio was admitted.
 Attack of Italy
 Flying in successive waves over British North African base at Mar sa, Matruh, Egypt, Italian air formations yesterday dropped hun dreds of bombs, striking military sheds, warehouses and railroad yards, general headquarters of the armed forces said in communique today.
 The Italians described the opera ton as heavy bombing raid. Marsa Matruh is on the Mediter- ranean, between the border of Italian Libya and Port Said, en- trance to the Suez Canal which yesterday the Italians claimed to have bombed heavily. It has been a frequent objective of Italian raids.
 The communique said Italian planes again had been subjecting Malta ito accurate bombing"
 Enemy pursuit planes which were in the air at the time show ed no desire to engage in a fight with our escort chasers and at tempted to avoid any action but our chasers succeeded in machine them, damaging three enemy planes" said the commun- ique.

Opposition to Congressman Smith is interpreted as an attemp to capit- alize on the setback given J. Francis Smith in his unsuccessful bid to have ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross nom- mated again for governor. But IS is doubtful that opposition to polio ies of the former state chairman can be transferred to his brother.
 At Odds With Smith
 Warden Sheridan was free to ad- init that the Democratic organiza- ton in Naugatuck is at odds with both Congressman Smith and ex- State Chairman Smith, but would not say that it would join in any move to prevent the renomination of he congressman.
 Telesca is popular throughout Litchfield County but whether he would take part in a contest against Congressman Smith remains to be seen. His friends are using as an is- sue he fact that he was not placed on the state ticket, despite supposed assurances that he would be named.

In mutual respect for the military

The Government put new restric-

yesterday in an effort to stamp out
that social diversion known as IAN

At the same time it made public
a survey by internal revenue agents,

I'm many communities the use Of
rubbing alcohol as a beverage has
increased to such an extent as to

found drinking of rubbing alcohol

They did not estimate how much

may be found in an agreement
reached voluntarily by manufactur-
ers to cut their production 20 per
