McCarran Asks Senate
To Probe AirIiner Crash
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate sent to its Commerce
Committee for study yesterday a
resolution by Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, proposing a
senatorial investigation of the crash
of a Pennsylvania Central airliner
at Lovettsville, Va, two weeks ago
In which Senator Lundeen, Farmer
Labor, of Minnesota, and "a other
persons were killed.
Senator McCarran told the Sem
ate 1t was his belief that there was
defective mechanism in the plane.
Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
OF Michigan, asked Senator McCar-
ran If his resolution was broad
enough to provide for an inquiry
into what Senator Vandenberg said
were reports that Senator Lundeen
was being ''shadowed" by an agent
OF the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton at the time of his death.
Senator McCarran replied that he
knew nothing except that F. B. I.
agents had been at the scene of the
crash shortly after the accident.
Asked about Senator Vandenbere's
remark, J. Edgar Hoover, chief OF
the F. B. l., said that any reports
that his men were investigating Sen
ator Lundeen ARE without basis of
fact"

ABOARD WILLKIE SPECIAL,
FAIRFIELD, Iowa. Sept. 14.-After
series of the sharpest attacks he
has yet made on President Roose-
velt's foreign policy and third-term
bid. Wendell Willkie was forced to
cancel several speeches late this
evening when a case of laryngitis
gradually reduced his voice to a
whisper.
In a rapid succession of thrusts
at Mr.. Roosevelt in Illinois towns
during the day, Mr.. Willkie made
the following charges:
That Franklin Roosevelt has
been one of the principal contribu-
tors to the breakdown in Europe"
That the Chief Executive urged
settlement at Munich. and that the
pact there sold "Czecho-Slovakia
down the river"
That Mr.. Roosevelt, by seeking
a third term, has brought to this
country the indispensable man"
doctrine of European dictators.
Doctor Brought by Plane.
Mr.. Wilkes voice first began to
grow husky during his strenuous
speaking tour of Chicago yesterday
Each time the train stopped today
between that city and the Iowa line
he found it more difficult to talk.

platform and speak to crowds at

Meanwhile doctor had been sent
for, and plane overlook the train

outdoor speaking appearances"
Although unable to speak, Mr..

late tonight to wave to large crowd
waiting for him at Washington,

BERLIN. Sept. Is Sunday
Several British bombers attempted
to enter Germany late last night,
but authorized German sources said
they were driven back by strong
anti-aircraft fire.
This latest reported repulse of
British planes came on the heels of
the prediction by a well-informed
German spokesman yesterday that
no more British planes would reach
Germany in large formations this
winter.
For the third consecutive night

IF the British haven't been over
here the past two nights it's not

cause they couldn't" the spokesman
said yesterday. His remarks were
made in the course of warning to
England to hand over London to the
armed force of Germany or see it
bombed like Warsaw.

now that because they haven't

On day set by the President,
the men will register at their vot-

The registrars will forward the
registration cards to the county
clerks, who will distribute them to
the proper local boards. Each board
will shuttle its cards and give them
serial numbers. The numbers will
be sent to Washington and here a
lottery will be held to determine the
order in which the men will be con-

Within few days, each registrant
will receive an eight-page ques-
