bergh's attitude of complacency toward Adolf Hitler"
 Lindbergh was called the chief of the nations fifth columnists by Pepper who suggested to the Senate that maybe the Colonel would like to see American life regimented the Hitler way"
 He was referring to the portion of Lindbergh's speech in which he said that "it is of the utmost import .ance" for the United States to CO., operate with Europe "in our rela- tionships with the other peoples of the earth" = even if Europe should become Nazi-dominated. N Fifth Column Is Here
 Washington, August 6. - (UP)- The interstate commission on crime charged to day that the German and Italian diplomatic corps are estab- fishing a fifth column" in the United States and South America similar to those that helped defeat Norway, France, Holland and Bel gium.
 The charges were contained in a report to the federal-state confer ence on national defense and were studied by conference sub-commit- tee on espionage.
 Meantime, another conference sub- committee, acting on President Roosevelt's proposal for compan- ion laws by Congress and state leg islatures to combat subversive activi- ties, planned to recommend thai such legislation immediately.
 The conference, attended by gov ernors and other representatives oi 45 states, closes today after creation kof a permanent federal-state liasor agency.
 Concluding a dissertation pur. porting to disclose the methods by which Nazis and Fascists make in. roads in the internal security of 6 nation, the crime commission charged"
 Espionage. propaganda and sabo. ffage," the report said, "are much more important than in the las war, because the Nazis have devel. oped them into much more effec. tive weapons both for war ana prewar purposes.
 Further the United States is par. ticularly vulnerable to espionage propaganda and sabotage because o our polyglot population.
 "Before the war in each neu' tral European country the German embassy staff both itself engaged in fifth column activities and di' rected those of the various consu lates. Reports from certain soutl American countries indicate tha the same methods have been trans fcrred to this hemisphere"

 In the number of 13, Waterbury ranked third for the actual num- Der of new men signed up, but the percentage gain was the largest in the wide eastern seaboard sector from which the official figures were taken.

Three Ships Down

AAADg 0HA.D A0WI
 It was claimed that yesterday a German submarine sank three mer- chant ships totaling 16,875 tons from strongly protected convoy" and that in repeated air battles over the British channel eight British planes were shot down. Last night, it was claimed, German planes attacked various British ports"
 From July to July 31 German submarines alone sank S44,174 tons of British shipping and other naval craft accounted for 98,500 tons, the high command said. During the same period it was said that the air force destroyed 2l,650 tons of war ships and 215,000 tons of merchant vessels and damaged 32,000 tons of warships and 328,000 tons of mer- chant shipping.
 The high command said in 8 com- munique that yesterday repeated air battles occurred over the English channel and one German recon- noisSance plane shot down two Brit ish pursuit planes of the newest type" It claimed six other British planes were "sent crashing in battle with our pursuit planes"
 Last night German planes attacked several British ports, the commit nique said, and during the night British planes raided northern and western Germany, dropping bombs.
 "The material damage caused was slight. There were no human casu- alties to report" the high command said.
 The high command claimed also that great damage had been inflicted on British shipping by airplanes and submarines and that German mines were taking a toll of enemy vessels.
 France Told Her Place
 Berlin, Aug. G. CUP)-German newspapers in wrathful warnings to France today reminded the French that their nation has been defeated and that the conclusion of peace with the insolently provoked Reich still must come"
 The storm was provoked by award of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor to Gen. Pierre Herring, for mer military governor of Strasbourg The German press said that the French newspaper Le Temps de- scribed the awar das symbolic discreet greeting to Alsace" and ir reply the Boersen Zeitung said Temps does not seem to realize that France has been defeated bS its own request" After warning that France now has only an armis- tice with Germany and reminding the French that peace still must come, the newspaper said:
 Under these circumstances dem. onstration that France desires thi. peace only to misuse it for a new edition of the megalomaniac Pari. policy of the past is provocatior whose possible consequences these stupid babblers cannot conceive.
 Germany has not beaten the French attackers to the floor in or. der that they might misuse German chivalry and generosity in continu- ing machinations Let the French reflect whether they want to stane before us as defeated opponent ol as inimically vanquished.
 ITO chose the latter, as most O the French press seems to do, mean to forget that Germany intends wag ing and liquidating this decisive wa with German thoroughness." 'The deluSion exists that super flcial change in system is suf1cien ! to cleanse France from guilt ant cause the victor to forget that h, needs to safeguard against an un. practicable and unpeaceful neigh. bor."
