Longest Night Attack.
German raiders, adopting the new

meanwhile subjected the London
area to its longest night attack since
the start of the aerial blitzkrieg.
While bombs were scattered over
wide areas on London's outskirts,
however, few fell in the capital.
Besides the London area, points
hardest hit included the important
shipping center of Liverpool and an
unnamed town in the Midlands.
The government said generally cas-
ualties and damage were small.
The raiders came earlier in the
night than previously and stayed
overhead throughout, about eight
operating at time, in contrast to
the former tactics of 100 or more
planes in an opening rush, followed
by small waves.

When Capt. Benjamin Franklin
Clayton, acting colonel of the 102d
Volunteer New York Infantry of
the Union Army, accepted the sur
render and sword of Maj. William
j. Lambert of a Georgia Con-
federate regiment at the famous
Battle of Charlottesville, he had
no idea his grandson would try to
return the sword he fought to take.
The idea might have even shocked
him, but that's what Thompson G.
Clayton of Chevy Chase, Md, intends
to do with the old Confederate sword
he found in his attic yesterday-that
is, if he can ever locate the de-
scendants of Maj. Lambert.
VoluminouS papers left by Mr.
Claytons father, now deceased, tell
the story of the capture.
TwO-Day Battle.
The Union Army had outmaneu-
vered Gen. Robert E. Lee in Central
Virginia at the time and on May 2,
1868, major battle. eventually won
by the Confederates, was fought.
1t lasted two days, during which
Gen. "StoneWall" Jackson, tactical
genius of the Southerners, was &C
cidentally shot by his own men.
In the course of the action, young
Capt, Clayton, Maine boy fighting
with a New York regiment, was
5kirmishing in the swampy woods
near Charlottesville when a YELL
ing group of Georgians in gray
came charging through the brush

and demanded the surrender Of the
Yankees at bayonet point
Capt Clayton merely pointed to a
cloud of men in blue to the South
erners' rear-a detachment of New
Workers under a Col Stainbrook-
which completed a pocket surround
ing the surprised Georgians.
Finally, Maj Lambert was COM
PEELED to surrender his sword to Mr..
Clavton'S ancestor.
The war ended. The period of
reconstruction set in. The Nation
went to war again in the last years
of the 10Th century against Spain.
Capt Clayton died The sword
went to the attic where many SYM
bols of heroism usually end.
Generations passed. The Nation
had been at war again in 1917.

Now Seeks Heirs.
Now the sword has been brought
out and its history made known.
Mr.. Clayton feels it would be ap-
propriate if the sword were re-
turned to the heirs of the Georgia
major who lost it in that far-off
battle.
Mr.. Clayton doesn't know ex-
actly how to go about returning the
relic but he plans to enlist the aid

Department in his quest He also
will communicate with Gen. Julius

Rome Sees Use of Spain
For Gibraltar Attack

ROME, Oct. 18 (P.-The Shake-up
in the Spanish government making
pro-axis Ramon Serrano Suner
foreign minister was regarded in
foreign circles here today as a pos
Sible forerunner to axis use of Spain
as a springboard for an attack on
the British stronghold of Gibraltar.
Italian quarters described the
shake-up as "a prelude to decisive
events through which Spain is to
reach coveted goals"
They said those goals included
acquisition of Gibraltar and a wider
portion of Morocco.
Spain Regarded as Within Axis.
Since Serrano Suners visit to
Berlin and Rome, Spain has been
regarded by Italians as virtually
within the axis, but waiting until a
propitious time to enter the war.
Whether closer technical CO.
operation with German and Italian
armies would result from the gov
ernmental change at Madrid, as it
did in Rumania, was matter of
speculation among observers here.
The semiofficial Aroi agency indi-

BIount's Bond Is Raised
In Threats on President

year-old former Census Bureau
calculator, today was free under
$4,000 bond, while the District grand
jury deliberated over a charge by

threatened to kill President Roose-
welt
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran yesterday directed that Mr..
Blount's bond be raised from $500
fixed recently at a hearing before
United States Commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage to $1,000 The in
creased bond was written by Bonds
man Meyer Weinstein, when the &C
cuseds father, Walter Blount, re-
tired Government attorney and
mining executive, put up the money.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's signed the
papers requiring the increased
bond.
Mr.. Blount is described as living
on the motor yacht, Sunshine,

For the past five years the &C

Blount is alleged to have made
threats in public places that he was
going to kill the President at the
first opportunity. The accused was
arraigned before United States
Commissioner Turnage a week ago
today and, according to the records
of that office, pleaded guilty.
His attorneys contend that he was
not fully advised when he appeared
before the United States commits

British Worships Struck
In Fight, Nazis Say

BERLIN, Oct. 18 LP,.-The Ger
man high command declared today
that German destroyers, dashing
into the mouth of Bristol Channel.
had attacked a British cruiser unit
protected by destroyers and scored
q hit on one Warship. Whereupon
the British force broke off the
fight"
Bristol Channel is a vital British
sea route directly off the western
coast of England south of Wales.
On it are such important ports as
Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea and New
port.

rior enemy" scored the hit and came

mand's communique.
After the naval action German
planes chased the enemy and all
the German destroyers returned I'M
damaged to their bases. the Nazi
command declared. The date of this
fight was not given.
Shore Batteries Active.
Probable destruction of British
submarine also was claimed. Off
lie Havre shore battery fired on
the submarine and then German
dive bombers roared to the attack.
'Strong detOnationS were heard and
boat wreckage was brought to the
surface, so it is assumed the sub
marine was destroyed said the
communique.
Two other actions of German
shore batteries on occupied coasts
were reported. In the first, said the
communique, shore defenses forced
back British speedboats which tried
to approach Flanders; in the second
convoy in Dover Harbor was
shelled effectively by marine artil-
iery.
The report said Britain's air losses
yesterday were II planes, against 7
German planes missing.
In another naval action, it said,
German speedboats last night sank
two armed British merchantmen
and two tankers, totaling $4,000 tons.

Said German raiders dropped be-

upon London last night, while the

German occupied regions on the
continent, but none over Germany
herself.
Some hundreds of German war
planes were over London during the
night, official sources said, raiding
industrial facilities north of Thames
