WAR MOVES ON
 TODAY'S BOARD

 before the war and still think that 1t would be best for the future of Europe if Great Britain and Ger many could negotiate an atnicable understanding providing for mu- tual expansion of trade and infiu- ence. An Anglo German entente may become necessary in future years to save Europe from recurring wars that in the end would really destroy transatlantic civilization. It is a commonplace of foreign politics that there is no permaneEce in in- ternational enmities.
 No Maxi Dictated Peace.
 But the basis of any such change in European relations cannot rest on peace dictated by Germany. That would lead to another war as surely as the terms of the Versailles trea- ty have some responsibility for the present conflict. Before peace feel- CTS can have any chance of meeting with success the war will have to continue to a point where Great Britain can negotiate with proven power at her back.
 If Hitler were to try to invade the British Isles and were to meet with an overwhelming defeat, that would increase greatly the power of the British Empire at the peace table. Should Hitler hesitate to take this perilous risk and in its stead order a blitzkrieg against Britain on an enormous scale, British retalia- ton might be approximately de- structive over Germany. British peace power might thus be advanced by demonstrating that German air raids cannot win the war.
 Failing either of these possible ways of overcoming Germany's sue perior position for discussing peace, there remains the blockade. It seems probable that here is the ul- timate weapon of both sides. That Is to say, before peace can come, Germany and Great Britain will have to meet in a starvation strug- gle, which, indeed, is already in preparation. They will have to test each others endurance through blockade. If the war can find no other conclusion than this, then hopes of peace this year are remote.

(Continued from Page D Wilson, widow of the President. Paul V. McNutt and his wife were close to Mrs. Wilson. And nearby was Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, wife of the Republican Senator from Michigan. She came on the invita- ton of Farley, flor a good time," although she consented to pose for a picture.
 Don't ask me why I came everybody does" she said.
 Behind the platform, away from the array of Democratic wives, was Frances Perkins, the secretary of la bor, who is in favor of a third term.
 T am not in favor of breaking traditions merely for fun. But I do think that precedent may be for- gotten for a good reason" Mrs. Per- kins said. She wouldn't say she was in on MT. Roosevelt's secret. When I first became secretary of labor,r she said, T was so afraid of becoming a sieve that I shut my lips tightly. Now I can't get them open"
 The one woman who might have out-shadowed all the other Demo- cratic women, wasn't there. But Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt did send a statement opposing an equal rights for women plank proposed for the platform.

 ing American soldiers to Europe. It will reaffirm the Monroe Doctrine and call for any army, Navy and air force sufficient to enforce it. Failure to mention aid to the Allies in the platform does not mean, of course, that the present assistance which is private, not government, to Great Britain will not be continued.
 Suggestions for an endorsement of a material aid policy which would not differentiate betweeen government-owned arms, and pos sibly credits and private sales with in the limits of present laws. were shocking to isolationists led by Sem ator Burton K. Wheeler of Mantana and recently replaced cabinet mem Der, former Secretary of War Harry H, Woodring. They had threatened convention floor fight if the for eign affairs plank was not strictly non-interventionist.
 Bankhead eliminated all references to sympathy for Great Britain and to furnishing her material aid.
 More Anti-War
 As the foreign affairs plank shapes up, it will be more anti-war than the Republican declaration at Phila- delphia, because 1t will include the no-troop- Europe phrase which the Republican platform committee eliminated after a behind -the-scenes battle.
 Republicans hope to hang the rwar party" label on Democrats while describing the G. O. P. as the party of "Americanism, preparedness and peace" = strategy that Demo- cratic National Chairman James A. Farley said last night was "mis- guided political action" which fell of its own weight.
 Make up of the powerful draft ing subcommittee indicated clearly that the finished platform would be a strong endorsement of the New Deals first eight years as the basis tor asking four more years of na- tional power.
 Besides wagner, the Sup-commlt- tee members included Senator David I. walsh, Massachusetts and Cornelius c. Moore. Rhode Island.
 The committee head 40 witnesses present as many proposed platform blanks, but the most disputed issue Judging from the public hearings was the demand of the national womens party and affiliated groups for endorsement of c proposed con- lstitutional amendment guaranteeing equal rights for women. The Re- publican platform contained thii plank. but Democrats probably won't approve 1t because Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt, Senator Wagner. and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins are among those opposed to it.

age for the entire war. There have been worse single weeks, however, and the Admiralty pointed out that during the week. which, ended June g. there were 100000 tons of ship ping lost. .
 Heavy shipping losses were said by the Admiralty to be due to more violent and frequent air attacks on shipping and greater submarine ac- tivity."

State Delegation
 Reported Diuided' Old, New Guard Factions Clash in Sentiment at Chicago-Cross, Hurley Considered Rival Gov ernatorial Candidates.

There is a surprising amount of sentiment for h's renomination, despite the popularity of Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley.
 Delegates are talking of the possibility of Census Director John L. Sullivan of New Britain entering the race for the congress sional nomination in the first dis trict. The only announced candi- date thus far is ex-Congressman Herman Kopplemann, of Hart ford.
 Ely Culbertson, the bridge wig ard who is seeking the congress. man-at-large nomination, told re- porters yesterday that election of Wendell L. Willkie would be dam gerous to the nation. He expressed the fear that WilIkie's advisers would lead him toward a Maxi or Fascist minded type of govern ment.
 Connecticut labor leaders on hand at Chicago are working for the nomination of Senator Bur- ton K. Wheeler of Montana for vice-president. The labor bloc is led by Professor Jerome Davis of Yale.
 State Chairman John T. Me- Carthy of Newtown and his pre- decessor, J. Francis Smith of Wa terbury, who had earlier planned to come here together, arrived yesterday on different planes. This set tongues to wagging at once.

  pointed out that the order left the way open for @ possible British naval campaign against Italian ter ritory.
 The admiralty decree said: "The Italian government having recently issued notice to the effect that within limit of 30 miles from the Allied coast, all merchant vessels bound for Allied ports will navigate at their risk and peril, his majesty's government regard themselves jus tifed in taking similar action in respect to vessels navigating in the vicinity of Italian coasts.
 His lnajesty's government accord- .ingly gave notice that all vessels navigating within 30 miles of any Italian territory in the Mediter- ranean will do SO at their risk and peril"
 Wireless Stations Closed '@ At least 12 wireless stations in Germany, Austria, Holland, Bel giunl, and France were closed dur ing the night in apparent testimony that British airplanes continued their relentless raids against Nazi bases.
 An area of 600 miles from east to west and more than 250 miles from north to south was affected. JCThe Columbia and National Broad casting companies quoted the Brit ish radio that the oslo. Norway, station closed. This would make the area 800 miles from south to northo
 Earlier the air ministry had an- fiounced that during the preceding 48 hours up to last night, British planes had bombed 9 German air. dromes, as well as aircraft factories and warehouses, oil plants and re- fineries, oil storage plants and freight yards.
 Americans Are Welcome
 London, July 16 = (U.P) = The British Air Ministry said today that American pilots. technicians and radio operators would be welcomed iii the Royal Air Force and granted commissions that would not involve Joss of citizenship.
 (American neutrality laws provide for loss of citizenship in the event an American takes an oath of al- legiance to, a foreign government. Both Canada and Great Britain re- cently have enacted laws providing that, air force recruits need take an oath of allegance only to the air force itselfo
 American pilots, the ministry said must have more than 250 hours of flying expereince and must be be- tween l8 and 35. Radio operators and .technicians must be between S5 and 46.
 The air ministry said its invita- ton to American pilots was due to an unprecedented increase in air- scraft production that was rapidly outstrippiug the number of trained pilots. The ministry emphasized its policy of training pilots slowly and thoroughly.

 Chicago, July 16 - A renewal of the Connecticut Democratic intra-party battle was in prospect here today, with the states 16 votes in the contest for the vice. presidential nomination at stake. U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden and Delegation Chair man J. Francis Smith of Water bury were apparently leaning to- ward Supreme Court Justice Wil- liam O. Douglas, legal resident of New Haven, or to any other Roosevelt-endorsed nominee, while National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald of New Haven, power full Old Guard leader, was leaning toward supporting Paul McNutt.
 The delegation, pledged to vot- ing for the ren0mination of the President, as still largely pro- Roosevelt, but increasing senti- ment for Postmaster General James A. Farley is being noted. Should the President upset all predictions and refuse to run, Farley would be the leading con- tender for Connecticut's conven- tion votes.
 MT. Smith who retired as state chairman last week, gave a guarded endorsement, of MT. Jus tice Douglas, He declared that no one could question the loyalty of the supreme court member to the party, making his statement in answer to charges that the jus tice had never been active as a Democrat in New Haven or Con- necticut and had allegedly not voted at recent elections.
 National Committeeman Fitz- Gerald is understood to believe that his first choice for second place on the ticket, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, will not accept, and that the Connecticut dele- gates should back McNutt for the nomination.
