Resfaurafeurs Told
Nutrition Is Vital
In National Defense
Miss Horriet Elliott
Among Speakers as
Convention Opens /

Improving the nutritional levels
of the country is the first require
ment for reinforcing the Nations
defenses. Miss Harriet Elliott. con-
sumner commissioner of the National
Defense Advisory Commission, told
a meeting of the Southeastern Re-
gional Restaurant Convention today
at the Mayfower Hotel.
'Malnutrition is an unfortifled
coastAne of our human defenses,"
Commissioner Elliott said. II
America is to be strong, America rs
must be adequately fed, prope fly
nourished and physically fit"
DR.. M L. Wilson, director of the
extension division of the Agricul-
ture Department and an adviser on
nutrition problems to Miss Elliott,
pointed out there are ample supplies
of food on hand and urged the
restaurant operators to put the
available knowledge of nutrition and
diet TO work in the cause of defense.
Importance of Proper Food.
Miss Elliott commended the res
taurant industry for setting up an
advisory committee on national de-
Tense and recommended that res
taurateurS work actively with nu-
triton experts, home economists ana
dietitians in the program.
Stressing the seriousness OF the
Wilson Gq16 an
estimated $4,000 900 people are not
getting the proper food. He added
that the people who are mamour-
ished are not all in the lower eco
nomic level of the population.
Earlier today, Miss Grace Smith,
newly elected president of the Ma
tional Restaurant Association, de-
clared more vocational training is
needed to lessen the number of fail
ures in the restaurant business.
Better Training Urged.
Pointing out that half OF the
10000 public eating places in the
country change hands or go out
of business every year, Miss Smith
said the problems OF this economic
waste can be solved only by making
certain that those entering the field
have adequate training. At the
same time Miss Smith announced
plans for a broad educational pro-
gram to be undertaken by the asso-
citation.

ON HER way home from the
~ club Mrs. Martindale was
thinking, ''It will be my turn next.
What will they think when they
come to our house?" Then she put
her latch key into the lock and
stepped into her own front hall.
"Just what I was afraid Of" she
said aloud. ''When you look at
this hall as an outsider the worst
thing you think is that its owner
is lacking in imagination"
Right then things began to hap
pen. The shabby old hall carpet
was washed right on the floor and
then dyed deep green with hot
dye applied with a scrub brush.
The long lines of the new green
sateen curtains turned the space

 MT. Smith was non-committal when called on the phone by a Democrat reporter this morning, but admitted that claims for refunds had been made by MT. Wardell and that the matter would naturally be handled in Washington.

 It added that there were 8 few air battles yesterday and a few British planes flew into France and Holland as we'll as Germany.
 The communique claimed that 10 British planes were shot down in air battles and four by anti-aircraft guns. Three German planes were missing.
 Authorized quarters said that yes- terday's air activity against the British was on a smaller scale but that the results none the less were important"
 These quarters claimed that 10 airdromes were bombed. Losses in authorized quarters were put at 10 British planes shot down, six in air battles and four by anti-aircraft guns, and three German planes were missing.
 The official news agency said that Heinkel Ills and Dornier ITS bomberS, made reconnaissance flights over England today, photo graphing harborS, atrdromes, arms factories, defense concentrations and examined the results of yes terday'S raids.
 'The machines also carried a few bombs which they dropped on par ticularly favorable military objec- tives," the agency said.
 It added that weather forced planes to fly very low.

 False News Sent Out
 Minister of Information Alfred Dun Cooper, in a written reply to a question in the house of commons today, said Germans began sending false news of air raids on the Lon- don area last week even before their planes had reached England.
 His reply dealt with complaints regarding delay in releasing news of the German attack, especially tc the United States, and said:
 'The German propagandistS had two considerable advantages. First they had previous knowledge as tc when the raids were to take place and second, they had complete dis regard for the truth"
 Duff Cooper promised that in the future news of German attacks would be accelerated.

 Gibraltar suffered its first air attack in three weeks last night and early today when two flights of en- emy aircraft raided the British stronghold.
 One of the raiding planes was shot down. The attack started fire but the flames were extinguished quick 1y. No important damage was caus- ed and there were no reported cas- ualties.
 The raiders took advantage of a bright moonlight night for the at- tack.
 Shortly before midnight the first plane was spotted by searchlights It dropped its bombs into the sea This plane was hit a moment later by an anti-aircraft fire which shot off part of its tail. After a number of gyrationS it fell into the sea off Europa point. A British searchlight followed the plane down to the water as spectators cheered. There was nc word as to the fate of the airmen.
 Total German Losses
 Total German air losses since mass aerial attacks began on Great Britain two weeks ago probably are more than double the 710 listed ir official communiques published Archibald Sinclair, Minister of Air told the House of Commons today.
 Sinclair told the House that Brit aims communiques were based solely on German planes certainly de- stroyed"; that is, actually seen tc hit the ground, break into pieces ir the ari, or descend in flames.

 The general picture remained about the same. Hurley has his strength centered in Fairfield coun- ty, where he is expected to get most of the 219 votes, and in the cities of Hartford and New Haven. The Cross strength is centered in the ru- ral areas, with Waterbury as the only one of the states four largest cities scheduled to back him.

 Investigators said that Cox and Carr had entered Pray's garage to play photograph records which they had been using to win converts to the sect. Pray, who was working beneath a car. ordered them to leave.
 Howard Keenan, IS, who was with Pray at the time, said that when Pray climbed from beneath the car, Cox drew the revolver from a bag and began shooting.

, ITOCSKy 0eSperaJely Wounded, lylng on the blood stained carpet. Stand- ing over him, pistol in his hand and a British made raincoat on his arm, was Dreschd.
 The pistob had not been used. Dreschd had attacked Trotsky with sort of cut down alpenStock. It had 8 head 6 or 2 inches long. One end of the head was 8 sharp point, the other was clawed, like hammer. In secret pocket of the rain coat was new dagger, to 10 inches long.
 Robbins and Secretary Hanson grabbed at Dreschd. Dreschd fought but did not fire his pistol. He suf- fered head wounds and Secretary Hanson an injured wrist.
 'Let him live! Let him nve!" Trot- sky cried as the men fought, and then became unconscious. He had not recovered consciousness early to- day.
 Looking about after Dreschd had been overcome, the guards found that Dreschd had taken the receiver from Trotsky,s telephone. The guards suggested that his plan had been to kill Trotsky quietly with the alpen- stock, its staff cut down to about foot in length, or the dagger, and use the pistol to shoot his way out If he were discovered.
 Completely Trusted It was only because he was con- pletely trusted that he was able to get his weapons into the villa. Other visitors had been searched since the May attack.
 Trotsky was taken to the Green Cross hospital, where it was found that the weapon his assailant used had penetrated his skull and pierced his brain, and that he had been wounded in the shoulders and legs. Dr. Rubenlenero, chief surgeon of the hospital; Dr. Joaquin Bag. a leading surgeon of Mexico, and Dr. Everardo Garcia of the hospital staff quickly took X-ray photographs of the head wound and injected serum in Trotsky''s veins to strengthen his heart. Then they performed 15- minute operation. Hitler Is Blamed San Francisco, Aug. 21-(UP)- The attack on Leon Trotsky was n- spired by Adolf Hitler and executed by the secret police of Josef Stalin. Diego Rivera, famoush Mexican art- ist, said today.
 Rivera, bitter enemy of "Stalin- ism and Hitlerism," was shocked when he was told of the attempted assassination.
 This confirms the affirmation he CTrotsky) always made about the re- sponsibility of Josef Stalin of the attempt by the painter, David Alfaro Sequieros, and his accom- plices, who once before missed Trot- sky but succeeded in the assassina- tion of the American citizen, Robert Sheldon Harte, Trotsky's secretary ." he said.
 It was essential to Hitler,s plans to do away with TrotSky, Rivera said, in order that he might bring Russia more completely into the Na1 orbit. If Trotsky died. the real aims of the Russian revolution would never be &C., complished. he said. Therefore, Ri- vera declared, he believed Hitler had directed the OGPU (Russian secret police).
 Trotsly was not slain in the first attack, Rivera said. because the would-be assassins had orders from Moscow to kidnap him and spirit him aboard a Russian steamer an- chored oil Manzanillo.
 "The failure of the Russian boat to reach Manzanillo resulted in the assassination of Harte and now of Trotsky." he said. Unable to kidnap Trotsky and send him back to Rus sia, they have made an attempt on his life"
