again this afternoon over the mid- lands district but after the hell of the night and early morning there were few who paid heed to mere "re- ports" of enemy planes.
 Night of Horror
 Reports told of a night of borrow few persons have ever witnessed, with bombs falling on churches, hospitals, public shelters and pulp lie baths; of debris and fire driving reScuers from one bombed hospitla, leaving bed-ridden patients with no hope of rescue; of numerous fires sweeping tho city; air raid protec- tion workers dying at their jobs under a rain of bombs that never ceased throughout the night.
 . The home security ministry said:
 The enemy was heavily engaged by intensive anti-aircraft fire which kept him at great height and hin- dered accurate bombing of indus trial targets, but the city itself suf- fered seriously.
 "The attack began with the scat tering of incendiarieS over 8 wide area. Fires broke out at many points An indiscriminate lombard ment of the whole city followed"
 (The official news agency said in Berlin that German fliers drop ped 450 bombs weighing 2.200 pounds each on Coventry last night
 The Home Security Ministry said at least two planes were shot down over Coventry.

itza, the main base for their north ern operations, only 12 miles inside Albania.
 The Greek communique today said Greek planes had bombed the Koritza and Argyrocastro airdromes, destroying Italian planes on the ground and also had bombed marching Italian troops.
 A Royal air force communique is- sued here said British planes also had bombed Argyrocastro, in South Albania, starting large oil fires, and that bombs had fallen among close 1y parked Italian planes there. The R. A. F. said 1t had destroyed the last remaining landing jetty at Va Iona, second largest Albanian port.
 Occupy Village
 Greek troops last night were re- ported to have descended from po- sitionS on Mount Ivan in the Suva mountains and to have occupied the Albanian village of Golobrada at the foot of Mt Ivan after an en- gagement in which IS Italians were killed, 40 wounded and 85 captured, including five Italian officers with two machine guns.
 War in the air was reported in- tensified, according to Ohrid dis patches, which said that early to- day six British and Greek planes boomed Valona and Durazzo, main Italian ports in Albania. It was re- ported that one was killed and six wounded at Valona and that IS per- sons were killed and six wounded at Durazzo. It was reported also that in the Durazzo raid an Italian ship was hit and six houses were damaged.
 Italian air formations attacked yesterday and it was reported from Ohrid that IS Italian bombers oper- ating in three waves of five planes each ranged along the Ionian coast, the Corinth canal and as far as Athens.
 The Italians firzc bombed Parga. killing three persons, wounding 10 and damaging a building. At Pre-

CHURCH FESTIVAL
 FORMALLY OPENS
Large Attendance at Open- ing Night; Freddy Hall
 Master of Ceremonies

Despite the stormy weather large crowd of parishioners, as well as many from other parts of the city, gathered at the church hall last night for the opening of the annual harvest festival of the Blessed Sacra- ment church. The event will be con- tinued tonight and Saturday night with similar attractions to those of- fered last evening.
 Gaily-decorated booths lined the interior of the parish hall and of- fered various inducements to those attending.
 2 Freddy Hall officiated as master of ceremonies during the awarding of the several prizes at the end of the evenings entertainment.
 John B. Phelan is general chair man of the committees in charge of the festival with the Rev. Edward L. Morrison, pastor, and his assist ants, Rev. Francis Barrett and Rev. Neil Doyle, aiding.

(Continued from Page D tain barriers. A plain runs from the frontier to the Gulf of Salonica, about 50 miles away, following the course of the Vardar River. A rail. way from Jugoslavia also moves through the plain, terminating at Salonica. The first important Greek city near the border that would receive the brunt of such an offen- sive is Magiadar.
 But it is not certain whether Jugoslavia would give German army free passage to attack Greece The Jugoslav government has an- nounced several times it would re- sist invasion by force.
 If Jugoslavia were pliant under German pressure, the Greeks would be very hard pressed to defend the Salonica plain against mechan- ibed German force. An alternative to this plan would be to incite Bull garia to attack Greece, with the promise of port on the Aegean Sea as a reward.
 The Bulgaria Greek frontier, how ever, is largely mountainous and of- fers serious initial difficulties. At the same time the Turks have inti. mated that they will fight if Bull garia becomes a belligerent.
 Turkey Uncertain
 Though there is some uncertainty regarding Turkey, yet a Bulgarian declaration of war against Greece would entail risks of embroiling all the Balkans. The same chance would be associated with a Ger man thrust through Jugoslavia.
 The Innsbruck conference, there- fore, is fraught with the most seri- ous possibility for all of southeast. ern Europe. If Marshal Badoglio believes the Albanian front is too difficult or too costly for continua- tion of major operations, the Axis Powers will have to decide whether to attack Greece elsewhere at the possible expense of Pan-Balkan peace.
 Whether Russian Foreign Con- missar Molotov's conversations with Hitler may apply to any change in the Balkan situation is uncertain. Russia may hold the key through her power over Turkey; but that too can be known only by future results.
 The first result of the new Russo German Entente points primarily to some solution of the armed frontier situation. This is shown by today's report that German troops are be- ing withdrawn from western Fin- land, where they were recently con- centrated as a counter gesture fol- lowing Russian military concentra- tions in northwestern areas.

 More Italian Bombs
 Italian planes also were reported to have bombed points around the Gulf of Arta and Patras, damaging two buildings and causing casual ties.
 From Patras, Ohrid dispatches said, the Italian squadron flew in the direction of the Corinth canal, dropping many bombs" but failing to hit railway bridge over the canal which forms the sole link be- tween Attica and Peloponnesus.
 Italian planes also bombed Pi- raeus, port for Athens, killing six persons, wounding 45 and destroy ing a building.
 Italian planes flew over Athens but Greek planes flew to the attack and shot down an Italian bomber over Piraeus and another over the Gulf of Corinth.

Paying the Bill.

Harold G.. Moulton, president Of
the Brookings Institution, has said
that in his opinion it should be pos
sible to meet the cost of the present
defense program without plunging
this Government more deeply into
debt. If that opinion is we'll founded,
it offers real encouragement for the
future.
In the minds Of most persons a
large increase in the national debt
has been considered a necessary evil
attendant upon the rearmament pro-
gram, a price which the Nation has
been prepared to pay for adequate
security. But Mr.. Moulton thinks
otherwise.
He assumes that the full operation
of industry under the stimulus of de-
fense orders would result in ma
tional income Of from eighty-five to
ninety billions of dollars year, in
stead of the present seventy billions.
This increase In income, accom-
panied by new and heavy taxes, re-
duction in unemployment and full
use Of our resources should enable
Evening star., 1940-11-03

Norton Wagner in "Unveiling the
Universe" must first learn how to
suspend gravity; then to breathe In
a vacuum; then to withstand a tenn
perature of 1895 below zero; then to
move at a speed forty times faster
than a rifle bullet, and to be able to
start, turn and stop at will"
Pioneering handicapped by such
requirements may appeal to the
imagination of many persons with
escapist aspirations. To the average
citizen, however, the not entirely
infeasible correction Of human So
ciety will seem an easier task. 1t
happens that the generality Of men
and women are not trouble-makerS.
History is proof of the doctrine that
crime-war and revolution included
is deviation from the standard
norm of human conduct. So con-
sidered, it does not appear to be
utterly irremediable.

Life on Another Planet

A paper published in the annual
report of the Smithsonian Institution
has revived interest in the possibility
of life on the surface of second
planet Of the solar system to which
the earth belongs.
DR.. Spencer Jones, Astronomer
Royal Of Great Britain, is the author
of this latest contribution to the
growing literature regarding Venus,
the nearest and brightest" of the
celestial neighbors Of our globe. His
theory, briefly sketched, is that "con-
ditions" on Venus "are somewhat
similar to those the earth passed
through nearly a billion years ago."
Since there probably was life OF
one sort or another on the earth at
that remote date it follows that there
now may be primitive plant life" on
the beautiful star named for the
Goddess of Love. OF course, it is
highly doubtful that any human
creature contemporaneou with DR..
Jones ever will know for certain
whether his hypothesis is correct.
But millions of people weary of tur-
moil in the earth must wish that
Venus were habitable and not too
far away for settlement.
The distance from our planet to
the object of DR.. Jones studies is
approximately thirty years of steady
airplane travel at one hundred miles
IN hour. But the aeronaut, says
