Attorney Edward F. Colladay. Just

to Tidewater Virginia, found time
to angle a bit on the States troubled
political waters, using Willkie but
tons for bait.
They took all so of them" grinned
the veteran chairman of the Dis
trict's Republican Committee, and
were asking for more!"
Mr.. Colladay, he said, referred not
only to the country bankers, the
crossroads grocers or the small
businessmen he chatted with while
searching the back country for likely
bass waters, "but to farmers who had
little if anything beyond their daily
bread"
May Take Farm Vote.
On the basis of his Conversations.
Mr.. Colladay said: There's strong
possibility that Mr.. Willkie will take
the agricultural vote of Virginia
The sentiment for Mr.. Willkie in
Democratic counties of Virginia is
amazing. A country banker assured
me that everybody who's got any,
thing down here is for Willkie,' but
the sentiment went further than
that"
Mr. Colladay's secretary handed
him so Willkie buttons when he left
on his fishing trip. They're all
down in Virginia" he said. and /
could have used lot more!'
The Republican chairman VEN
tured to extend the scope of his pre-

travels, his attendance at the Re

Mr.. Colladay said the Absentee

London PopuIace
Sleeps Through Raid
By Nazi Bombers
Theotergoers Stage
Their Own Sonefests
And Dances
BY MILO M. THOMPSON,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
LONDON, Aug. 27.-Haf of Met
ropolitan London's population had
to ask this morning how long the
nights air raid lasted.
They had given up the show and
gone to bed-missing the all clear
signal-while theatergoers staged
song tests and dances.
How can one go to bed while the
grinding beat of German bomber
still overhead comes to the ears?
At any moment a blast might end
your existence.
But so might bolt of lightning
in any thunderstorm.
You think of the odds, shrug and
turn in.
Watching the show wearies you
like sitting at grand Fourth of
July display for hours-and then
having to see it all over again. You
give up, knowing there will be other
shows.
For those who do watch, there is
a horrid splendor about these night
raids.
Your feelings are mixed. Eor
short periods you feel that you per-
sonally are the hunted one-but
most of the time it is the fellow
somewhere up above who is hunted.
The black sky becomes garden
of unimaginably tall flowers, usually
in swaying clusters. The stems, of
course, are the searchlight beams
and they blossom where they touch
downy clouds.
The heads come together as if
the flowers are reaching unnaturally
for a bee buzZing above.
The ground under your feet and
the wall against which you lean
tremble as guns speak about you
and there seem suddenly to De light
ming bugs among the flowers.
The droning bee up there is the
hunted thing now and you belong
with those who are stalking it,
Discretion comes to you when the
stalks and blossoms are all about
you and you look up into q cone

Montgomery Faces
Problem in Assuring
Jobs 10 Guardsmen
Civil Service Rules
CompIieote Returning
Of Employees Positions

Montgomery County officials to-
day were faced with the problem OF
making provision for county en-
ployes who have been forced to give
up their jobs as result of national
defense measures.
A special provision was made to
authorize payment Of salaries OF
county employees called to duty with
the Maryland National Guard last
month. However, the prospect that
the Guardsmen, who have now re-
turned, will be called out again for
a full year of service has compli-
Gated matters, since civil service
regulations are involved.
Capt. Ward w. Caddington of the
Service Company, Maryland Ma
tionaI Guard, Silver Spring. resigned
as a member of the County Board
of Election Supervisors. AS his was
an appointive post, the years leave
of absence will not interfere with his
reappointment.
The case of Policeman Charles
Peters, another member of the
Guard. is not so easy to solve, how
ever, as members of the county force
are under civil service, which does
not authorize an absence of more
than 80 days. County authorities
believe that new legislation may
have to be enacted at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature which meets
in January to authorize special mill
tary leave in order to hold the post
open for Mr.. Peters until his year
of service is ended.
1t was explained that the county
force is limited to As men by law,
and that if a new appointment were
made to bring the force to full
strength the new appointee could
not be removed on Mr.. Peters re-
turn.
President Thomas E. Hampton of
the County Board said the prob
lem had been considered and that
measures would be taken to assure
men called to military service that
their jobs would be waiting when
they return.
Richard Peacock. desk clerk at the
Takoma Park substation and lieu
tenant in the Service Company, has
returned from the National Guard
maneuvers, is expecting to be called
daily and will probably not resume
his former post. The substation is
now without the services of a desk
clerk as r. C. Halbach, who was
appointed to the job when Mr.. Pea
cock left August /, is a member OF
the Naval Reserve and was called to
active duty last week

Total of 800 Names.
A total of $50 names appeared on
the ballots, including candidates
for Senator, 20 congressional places,
20 State Senators seats and 80
State Assembly places. These races,
along with judgeship and other To-
cal contests, made the major party
ballots lengthy.
Although the selection of party
nominees is the purpose OF the
primary, CALIFORNIA; election law
allows candidates to file on more
than one ticket, and this circum-
stance contributed to the interest
in the reelection campaign OF
Senator johnson.
The veteran Senator-hghtlng

sought nomination on the Repub-
Hcan, Democratic and Progressive
party tickets. He was opposed by
three on the Republican ballot, five
on the Democratic and one on the
Progressive.
Nomination on both the Repub-
lican and the Democratic tickets
would be equivalent to election.

U. 5. Following Plan
Outlined by Briton,
Wheeler Charges
Polish Proposed Druft
And Sending Destroyers,
Senator Declares

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, o1
Montana, told the Senate today
that I'VE are following exactly g
program outlined to him by Sill
George Paish, English economist
for involving the United States in
the European war.
Sir Georges program for the
United States, Senator Wheeler as
serted, included enactment of con-
scription legislation and then the
sending of so American destroyers
to England.
He wanted as his program ex-
actly the program we are follow
ing at this time Senator Wheeler
declared.
Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska remarked that if Sir George
thought he could persuade Senator
Wheeler to support CONSUMPTION leg
islation then Parish ought to be
as was suggested here yesterday
examined for his mentality"
This prompted Senator Byrnes
Democrat, of South Carolina; to say
| that Sir George had attempted
to see him, but that he had refused
to talk to the Briton because he
thought he had no influence ir
England.
Versions of Talk Differ.
| Senator Wheeler retorted that the
only difference between Sir George
and other British "propagandists'
was that Sir George was "mors
frank than the rest"
Senator Wheeler and Sir George
gave varying versions as to just what
the economist had said about his
| connection with this country's entry
! into the World War.
Senator Wheelers' account, which
brought demands in the Senate yes
terday for Sir Georges expulsion
from the country, was to this effect
Sir George visited him at hi.
office few days ago. During the
conversation. the economist asserted
st am responsible for getting thi'
country into the last war and
intend to get it into this one"
Data Given to United States.
Sir George, on the other hand
said this was what happened:
He called on Senator Wheeler. HI
mentioned that, as British fnan
cial advisor during the World War
he had placed information at thu
disposal of my government" Thi
information was subsequently turned
over to the United States by tn
British government and its characte
was such, Sir George asserted, tina
it influenced the decision of tn
United States to enter the conflict
Senator Wheeler, presenting hi
version of the incident to the Sen
ate, said he had told Sir George tina
his Il am responsible" assertion wa
broad statement" The economist
he said, thereupon qualified it t
the extent of saying, well, every
thing short of war"
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir
GINA said that "if any Englishmal
were to come to my Office with an
such proposal I would drive hin
out, and I think any Senator o
self-respect should have driven hin
out"
He added that "the Senator Shout
