 Flu had intended to retire within a few weeks. He had attendde a wedding party in the French con- cession last night. About an hour after he returned home and had gone to bed, he was slashed ot death.
 It was feared that Fu's assassina- tion might lead to further complica- tions. Though Flu was killed in Japanese-controlled territory, the Japanese were expected to allege that his assassin had been harbored inthe foreign-controlled area and to renew their campaign for complete control of Shanghai.

up She 18th district, were absent Instead of having the absentees re- placed by the alternates chosen at the uncontested Republican prim- ary, Chairman Hall ruled that the alternates could not serve, and gave the vacant places to those present who had proxies from the absentees. It is charged that virtually all the proxy delegates voted for Post.
 Posts victory was made possible by aid given him by the Italian faction headed by Attorney Michael J. Galullo. This group voted against Petrillo. despite his Italian follow ing. because he had not supported ex-Mayor Patrick Perriello last year. After Perriello was defeated by the organization in the primary last year. Petrillo was given the c. o. P. nomination for Tax Collector, lead ing his ticket in the election.
 The Petrillo group says that At torney- General Pallotti, in an in- formal opinion, told them that no proxies should be recognized as long as duly elected and qualified alter mates were on hand
 Even if no formal demand for a recovering of the convention is made, the issue will do little to help the local Republican leadership, al- ready beset by factional differences. The Petrillo faction is openly angry at Town Chairman Hall and some of the more indignant are talking about future reprisals
 The senatorial convention ruling of Saturday was reversed at the town convention last night. Instead of proxies being given the prefer ence. alternates were seated first, and proxies used only to fill places where both delegate and alternate were absent. MT. Hall was also chairman of this convention.

BLACK EAGLE
 MAY FLY AGAIN

Montreal, Que, Oct. 11-(UP)- Col. Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, the '.Black Eagle" of Harlem, said to- day that the Germans more or less were considering his challenge to German Air Marshal Hermann Goering for an airplane duel at 10,- 600 feet over the English Channel.
 Julian was here seeking permis- sion to fly to England for the pro- posed duel even though Goering himself has not accepted the chal- lenge. He said that the German consulate in New York had replied to the challenge.
 "They said if painted 8 baboon on the fuselage of my plane, so l would be easily recognizable, they might consider the matter" he said Now, a baboon is an intelligent animal. My own idea is that I'll paint a baboon on the side of my plane if Goering paints a big, fa' pig on the side of his. The pig is an unclean animal"
 Julian issued his challenge in New York several weeks ago after he said he had read in Adolf Hit ler's "Meln Kalnpf" that the Ger man Fuehrer considered the Me- groeg race of baboons. He said he had received thousands of dol- lars in donations as c result of his challenge and that he would be ready to go about the middle Of next month, when he expects de- livery Of Q new three-motorcd Bel ianca plane.

-FOUR COUNTRY
Nation With Faith In Itself Cannot Be Corrupted Or < COnQuered---Faith Baldwin

and dismissed with the usual cliches the growing unrest and disunion which imperils the democratic ideal, the American way to life.
 This American way is the heritage of all those born to it, of all those adopting it by conviction. It can continue only if we will its survival, work for it, pray for it, adhere to it with grim determination and, above al, believe in it.
 Belief is essential not mere lip service, but belief as rooted as the belief in Almighty God. A na- ton which has faith in itself, and in its chosen way of life cannot be corrupted or conquered by traitor idealogy, cannot stumble, and fall, in darkness.
 Every day brings its challenge. We can meet it. Belief in a price less destiny founded this nation. Belief renewed will enable it to endure.
 In time of fear, indecision, in country clamorous with promise, the wall of the defeatist, the cherry platitudes of the optirnist, Cassan- dra warnings and shallow cynicism, one fact emerges clearly. We must consider what it has meant to be an American, and what it must al- ways mean. We must believe in ourselves, and reaffirm that belief, the belief of an entire people, the belief in a nation of such people, which shall survive, awakened, uni fled and forever free.

 Two air raid alarms, the first in the rush hour, followed during the forenoon. United Press correspond ents in the coastal area reported that large formations of Nazi fight CTS and bombers had flown in from the channel and headed up the Thames estuary only to meet blast of anti-aircraft gun fire which broke their formations and a horde of British fighter planes which turned them back.
 Objectives Hit
 The air ministry announced that during the night British planes had bombed oil refineries, communica- tions and other military targets in Germany and invasion ports along the .glish Channel.
 Of last nights German raids on England the air and home security communique said that high explosive and incendiary bombs were scattered over wide area of London and it's suburbs, damaging number of homes and commercial buildings. Damage was not extensive, the com- munique said, and casualties were not heavy considering the wide spread and indiscriminate nature of the attacks.
 In all the Germans bombed more than 50 districts in the Greater Lon- don area and 20 provincial districts.
