Pershing Urges U. 5.
To Send 50 Surplus
Destroyers 10 Britain
Action Held Necessary
For American Freedom
And Security
fTert OF Pershtng address on
Page A-S.)

Gen. John j. Pershing would have
the United States send at least so
destroyers to the aid of beleaguered
Britain.
The 79-year-old commander of
the American Expeditionary Force
of 1917-18, told radio audience
last night that destroyers left over
from World War days should be
made available to the British as a
safeguard of American freedom and
security, predicting the most critical
time for England would come in the
next few weeks and months.
IF there is anything we can do to
help save the British fleet in that
time, we shall be failing in our duty
to America if we do not do it," the
General of the Armies declared, add
ing that today may be the last time
when by measures short Of war we
can still prevent war for the Amer
icas)."
Vain Moves Recalled.
Gen. Pershing's appeal recalled
that in June the British had failed
In efforts to purchase destroyers
here. Another plan which would
have allowed the British to purchase
20 high-speed torpedo boats ran
aground on a 1917 law forbidding
sale Of American vessels of war to
belhgerent nation.
A different course for America was
urged at peace rally in Chicago
by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, ardent
advocate of non-intervention in
European affairs.
1T Is only by cooperation that
we can maintain the supremacy of
our western civilization and the
right Of our commerce to proceed
unmolested," he told cheering
throng at Soldier Field.
Col Lindbergh expressed the view
that American sentiment is against
involvement abroad
Knox Calls for Conscription.
In New York, Secretary of the
Navy Knox called for the inaugura-
ton of compulsory military service
without further delay, insisting that
If the country waits until war is i'm
minent to take this preparedness
step 1T will be too late"
Gen. Pershing spoke from his
suite In the Carlton Hotel here and
all the networks carried his address
in which he repeated earlier In
dorsement of the compulsory train
ing bill.
"A new kind of war;" he declared,
''is loose in the world-fought with
all weapons, including treason, and
fought most insidiously during what
some of our countrymen call peace
time It is a war against the civili-
zation that we know. It is a revo-

we have cherished and which we
wish our children to cherish in the
future. It is a revolution which

Germans Activity
Reported Growing

R. A. F. HurIs Increasing
Numbers of PIunes at
Strategic Points
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Increasing Nazi
activity at French Channel ports,
reported by British bombers return
ing from raids deep into Germany,
kept England on the alert today as
tides and weather combined to offer
Adolf Hitler more favorable condi-
tions for his long promised blitz-
krieg.
Authoritative sources indicated the
Royal Air Force, attempting to
smash any invasion before 1t could
be launched, was hurting more and
more planes into nightly attacks on
German industrial centers, troop
concentrations and Channel bases.
Three Fighters Shot Dswn.
The Air Ministry reported, mean
while, three Messerschmitt fighters
were shot down this morning as
Spitfire pilots continued to carry
the war into the Nad camp.
Two of the Messerschmitts were
shot down on the far side Of the
English Channel, within range OF
German anti-aircraft guns, by q
squadron of nine Spitfires, the Air
Ministry said.
Almost at the same time another
Spitfire squadron shot down q third
Messerschmitt 100 fighter on the
English side Of the Channel" an on
cial description of the battle added.
The British reported the loss OF
one plane.
One Seen to Hit Sea.
ut was 4 miles north of Calais
that the first squadron of Spitf1res
met the enemy" the account said.
There were five of the enemy pa
trolling, as they thought, in COM
Portable security.
"The squadron leader began the
attack. He fired a burst into one
of the Messerschmitts as it dived
to escape. He saw it hit the sea.
So did a fellow pilot.
Then he fired two long bursts
at another Messerschmitt which
was trying to get its own fire back
on one of the Spitfires.
Smoke poured from the Messer-
schmittt, but in the middle of the
action it was impossible to follow
1t down. so 1t is not claimed as a
certain casualty.
Caught In Stall Turn.
"A sergeant pilot caught yet an
other Messerschmitt as 1t was doing
a stall turn. This, too, crashed into
the sea.
Meantime another British pilot
was hard on the tail Of an enemy
fighter which at an early stage had
made Q dash for the French coast.
Fragments were seen breaking of its
port wing and the enemy fell away
toward France. It must have had
difnculty in making q safe landing. +"

factory Britain's explanation of the

BY DANIEL SCHORR
THE CURRENT CINEMA

The CURRENT NEN1A
We have been seeing movies
lately, not "GOne With the Wind"
for we have not the weekend to
spare, but a few fOreign-language
films like the Yiddish "Tevya"
and the French Entente COrdi-
ale" and "POrt of Shadows" 1t
has long been our opinion that
Hollywood has much to learn
from the less spectacular foreign
language producers in the way of
depth and subtlety of character
izatiOn, and these latest products
bolster our viewpoint.
"Tevya" is the most deeply af-
fecting Yiddish picture we have
seen in these many years. It is
not that the script presents any
thing challengingly new. Sholom
Aleichem's stories of "Tevya, the
Dairyman" are familiar classic
to readers of Yiddish literature.
Maurice Schwartz's play, based
on these stories, has been part
of the Yiddish theatres tradition
for more than Is years. The
theme-the return to the heart of
her family and religion by the
daughter who has left the folds
as old as the biblical narrative of
the Prodigal Son, and probably
older. The leSSon-that the Jew
can find happiness only among
his own peoples not too subtly
presented, and might even arouse
some disagreement among the
more emancipated.
1t is not story or moral that
distinguishes "Tevya," as present

New York's Continental Theatre,

Music To My Ears

with Maurice Schwartz as direct
or and actor in the title role. 1t
is the quality. of the acting, infus-
ing new life and high tragedy in
to a story that could easily have
become just another tear-jerker.
If there is any one thing that
distinguishes the finland there
are more than one-it is Tevya's
(Schwartz's) ability to be phil
osophical in the midst of calamity
and to be tragic when he is droll.
The tears of the audience do not
necessarily flow in direct ratio
to the tears of the actor; some
times the proportion is inverse.
When Tevya, ordered expelled
from his village on "a hours no
tice, banters with those who have
brought him the news, he adds
rather than subtracts from the
tragedy of his position.
Schwartz, as the honest dairy
man in a Ukrainian village of
tsarist days, whose life is blighted
by his favOrite daughters mar
riage to a Christian, but yet he
accepts her back into the family
and takes her with them into
exile, reaches dramatic heights,
but one should not forget the
other excellent Demonstrations

endearing Chave, Rebecca Vein

quite do justice to the dialogue.

stuck too far out 1t was agreed that
sleeping dogs should be let lie for
at least Il long enough period for the
proclamation, if ever made at all,
to have no apparent connection with
the Horton candidacy. At the time
the Horton ultimatum was delivered.
the Lieutenant Governor had not
formally announced and euberna-
t0rial crack at that time would have
been taken as a direct crack at the
Number Two man and his chances.
Nobody has even the slightest suS-
picion that the governors trip to &
Durham hospital was consciously
timed to avoid several rather I'M
pleasant situations which developed
almost concurrently with the hos
pitalizaticn.
There was the McNutt appearance
at the Jackson Day dinner. The gov
errors absence was certainly not in
the least unfortunate from the gov
ernor's point Of view, while his pre-
sence might conceivably have led to
some slight embarrassment for MI
Hoey.
Then there was the matter of the
neutrality proclamation. Here again
the very obvious explanation for
failure to issue it is that Governor
Hoey is i'll in a hospital and can't be
expected to give his attention to poll
teal matters.
All Of which is quite true and, let
it be repeated, not in the least The
result of any sinister design on the
part Of Governor Hoey. II was just
one of those fortunate breaks.
When the Hoey hospitalization is
over and the governor is back in his
office, there will be plenty OF time
to think about whether or not IT,
make open avoWal Of neutrality il
the gubernatorial campaign.
If it is decided the better part Of
wisdom to make such statement, 1t
is now so long aftel the announce
mcnt Of Lieutenant Horton that it
could not possibly be charged that
it is aimed specifically at the Chat
ham county man-yet there are clear
indications he was the target ori-
ginally set up for the governor to
shoot at
If it is decided not to make the
neutrality statement than it can be
plausibly argued that its too late in
the day for such thing.
Agreeing that Governor Hoey was
unlucky in having to 60 to the hos
pital at all, it is equally apparent
that he was quite lucky in having
to go at the particular time he did.
