Southampton Air Raided Saturday, Sunday and
 Sunday Night
"0CEAN OF FLAMES"
 iS REPORT OF PLIERS
Bombers Fly Low, Machine Gun Those on Rooftops
 in Murderous Assault
(By Associated Press)

Rail communication between Lon don and Southampton is interrupted today as a result of terrific new attack on that port Saturday night and Sunday by Nazi warplanes.
 Nazi quarters claim that fliers re- turning to their bases declared that the big shipping port is "engulfed in an ocean of flames"
 In the smash on Southampton. the British Air Ministry says, about 200 Nazi warplanes roared across the channel, striking singly and in small waves.
 One of the raiders is said to have swooped low and sprayed with ma- chine gun bullets the house tops.
 The British Press Association de- clares that relays of bombers last night flew over Southampton, Eng lands third busiest port, and con- tinued a mission of "frightfulness" until early this morning.
 The association says the damage is extensive" and many areas of the port are in ruins. Hundreds of steel-helmeted soldiers started the task of demolition of the central part of the city ruins while the fire blackened rubble still smouldered.

5hipnl enfs Of Gold Are
 Stopped Now
No More Yellow Meta from Porfugal-Some-
 thing Big Expected

NEW YORK, Dec. "A sudden unexplained stoppage in gold ship ments from Portugal to the United States during the past week has led financial and shipping circles to the belief something big is brewing abroad.
 Portugal is the last European shipping outlet and has been send ing approximately $3,000,O0O weekly to the United States.
 Financial circles speculated that Hitler might be ready to make another peace offer.
 Financiers, particularly Swiss bankers, are awaiting the outcome of the present stoppage of gold.
 In some circles it is said the stoppage might be indicative that Hitler is preparing for big push on Gibraltar.

f WiIIkie Is Candidate for G0pin 1914, He Will Break
 Party Precedent of S6 Year,
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Already Washington is talking about 1944 as if it were just around the cor- ner. The political prognosticators are burning midnight juice and singing ink from Page l to Clas- sified trying to guess the future of Wendell L. Willkie and the part he will play in the Republican party in the coming years.
 Let's leave that to the Pol Frogs. Really, they don't know much more about it than We do as most of them will admit. The shape of things to come will mold the future of the Republican party (and the Democratic party, too and of Wendell L. Willkie but
 IF MT. Willkie is nominated for the presidency again in 1944, he will be upsetting another Repub- lican apple-cart (and one that has been running smoothly for 86 years) because he will be the first ueteated candidate in the history of the party ever to have been nominated for a second try.
 Not only that, but if MT. Will kie should even be considered as a serious contender for the nomi- nation by next convention time, he will be kicking over a prece- dent that has been broken by only two men in either of the ma jor parties since pre-Civil War days.

SURRENDER
 LARGE FORGE
 IS REPORTED
Other Fascist Troops Said to Be in Rapid Retreat
 Leaving Supplies
(By Associated Press)

Surrender of 5000 Italian soldiers, leaving a huge gap in the center of the Balkan, war front is reported in Greek dispatches.
 It is said that this wholesale sur render of Mussolinis Fascist Legions is the largest seizure of prisoners thus far in the Greek-Italo war as heretofore only forces of from 500 to 900 have thrown down their arms and capitulated to the Greek forces, many times smaller than those sur rendering.
 There is a general retreat of Ital- ian forces in the central sector on the Balkan front, according to Greek advices
 One official Greek dispatch says the surrender of the force of 5000 Italians is a victory of exceptional importance as it has destroyed all danger in the sector of our ad- vancing troops"
 New gains are reported in the Greek drive toward the port of Edda in Albania and the Greeks are re- ported almost within shooting range of the important seaport.
 A Greek dispatch says seventeen captured Italian officers disclosed that Italian troops which fought in the civil war win Spain are taking part in the defense of Elita."

WESTINGHOUSE has been care fully hushed up inside the State Department, but recently a distin- guished group of citizens on the Presidents Advisory Committee for Political Refugees almost resigned and blew the lid off the appease- ment group among career diplomats. The incident is important because it indicates that the old State De- partmen appeasemen clique still is functioning right under the nose of Cordell Hull.
 The Presidents refugee commit tee is headed by James G. McDon- aid who handled the refugee prob lem for the League of Nations, and includes Archbishop Joseph F. Rum mel of New Orleans; editor Hamilton Fish Armstrong; George Warren, Basil Harris, formerly of United States Lines; Prof. Joseph F. Cham berlain of Columbia; and Rev. Sam- uel Cavert of the World Alliance for International Friendship. It was appointed shortly after the fall of France at the suggestion of far- siehted Sumner Welles, who felt that the plight of German, Czech, Jewish and Catholic refugees in France should be handled through a central agency.
 The committee immediately swung into action and after carefully in- vestigating a long list of refugees, finally recommended that 651 pro fessors, churchmen and former gov ernment officials be admitted to the United States. This was three and one half month ago.
 These names also were checked by the Justice Department, which approved them and sent the list to the State Department. After that nothing happened. Three and one half months passed and only l5 ref ueees recommended by the Presi- dents committee were admitted to the United States.

Grover Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan both were nomin- ated on the Democratic ticket three times. Bryan, of course, never won the election. Cleveland did twice and although he was defeated candidate when he was nominated in 1892, this was somewhat offset by the fact that he had been Presi- dent for four years BEFORE his defeat. These are the two excep- tions and both were Democrats. Let's look to the roster of defeat ed Republican candidates.
