R-Walter P. Chrysler, IS, who

NOT HURT BY WILLKIE
Senate Scheduled To Re-
sumo Debate On Burke
Wadsworth Bill Today

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-(RE
Senator Maloney D-Conn), author
of a proposal to defer military con-
scription until 1871, expressed the
view today that Wendell L. Will
kie's endorsement of selective ser
vice would'not weaken the support
accorded Maloney's plan in h e
senate.
Administration leaders have ac-
knowledged that the Maloney Sub
stitute for the Burke-WadsWorth
immediate draft bill had a good
chance of adoption. The Connect
cut senator would delay conscrip-
ton until January 1 while the army
sought to fill it's quota by the volun-
teer method.
Fav0rs Draft
Willkie said yesterday, in accept
ing the republican presidential
nomination, that "some form of
selective service was the only dem
ocratic way in which to secure the
trained and competent man power
we need for national defense"
The senate is scheduled to re-
sumo debate tomorrow on the
Burke-Wadsworth bill. Under it and
the Maloney substitute all men of
81 through 80 would be required
to register Immediately. Maloney
said he was considering revising
his substitute measure to provide
for registration, by order of the
President, only after it became ap-
parent that voluntary enlistments
would not bring in the number of
men needed to operate the defense
machinery. He said he would de-
eide this week whether to make
the change, which, he added, had

Rv the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 10. (Monday)-
Britain, grasping grimly for the
initiative in the greatest air war
If all time, struck earth-shaking
blows at German positions on the
French coast today for the third
time since Saturday night.
Despite the frenzy OF defending
their island from the suddenly re-
newed, massive German attacks OF
Sunday, the British sent great
waves of bombers over the channel,
and the Port of Dover was lighted
with the glare of echoing bomb
blasts from Boulogne and Calais, a
score of miles across the sea.
Army Bombed
The air ministry declined to con-
firm a report by the British press
association that the Raj had
bombed into confused turmoil a
German army of five divisions-up
to lOO,0 900 men-on the F r e n C n
beaches, and the press association
withdrew its story.
Nevertheless, reports were cur
rent in Dover that German infan-
try was massed on the F e n C h
shore, and the sight and sound of
battle tended to confirm these as
sertionS.
In combating the German raids
on England, the air ministry said
at least l4O Nazi planes were des-
troyed Sunday, with only is Brit
lSh losses.
CIhe German command said 1873

President Roosevelt and the Do.

A presidential aide said he
thought that it was apparent from
the announcement itself that no

ment was necessary.
Remarks Still Stand
The far-reaching implications Of
the agreement underscored deeply
Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration two
years ago that the United States
would not stand idly by if Canada
were threatened with attack. He
said yesterday that those remarks
made at the dedication Of an in.
ternational bridge at Kingston, On
tario, still were good.
The reference in the formal
statement to sea, land and air
problems gave emphasis to specu-
lation that the United States might
acquire strategic bases on soil Of
the British empire to help guard
the approaches to North America.
