mont, rewrote the section to COM
ply with the supreme court rulings
on the governments communicating
rights.
Under the revised provision, the
President, through the War or Navy
Departments, could not take over
plants unless he had declared that
"the public danger Is immediate
imminent and impending" that the
emergency was so acute that 1t was
impossible to resort to any other
means of supply. The conferees
also sought to appease manufactur-
ers and businessmen by providing
that they could sue the government
if they were not satisfied with, the
"just compensation" fixed by the
war or Navy Departments for OPP
Grating their facilities under the
communicating provisions.
Mere Agreements
The conferees also agreed on
these:
/. Eliminated a senate amend
ment providing that any person
required to give up his job within
80 days prior to enactment OF the
bill should be deemed, for re-em-
ployment purposes, to have been
discharged as the result Of the i'm
pending draft. The job protection
clause-requiring employers to re-
store Jobs to conscripts after service
was not affected by this change.
2. Accepted house provision
granting draft exemptions until
June 30, 1871, to students entering
colleges this year.
8. Retained senate provisions CIV
ing the department Of justice q

5. Re-wrote the housing provis-
ions to guarantee that no person
should be indicted into military
service until arrangements have
been made for adequate shelter al1d
sanitary facilities.

After attacking London and Liver
pool during the night, it was as
serted, German planes returned to
their new rolling attack" on Lon
don early this morning, flying at
great height and dropping incendi-
airy bombs which intensified fires
started yesterday.
The air raid alarm was sounded
in Berlin at 12:45 a. m. for the third
straight witching hour attack on
the capital.
To observers in the center of the
city it seemed the lightest of the
three.
German anger mounted because
of continued British attacks.
British attacks on Berlin, Ham
burg and Bremen demand reprisal,
afternoon newspapers said.
Der Angriff said there was
"wave of German bombers over
London every 10 minutes"
Everything will be avenged" said

The high command said that yes
terday in addition to bombing Lon
don the German air force attacked
an airplane factory at Southampton,
destroying six hangers, and oil de-
pots at Port Victoria.
A communique also said that
night attacks had been directed
against Liverpool and other west
and south coast harbors.
German bombers hurled them
selves upon a convoy in the Thames
estuary and set fire too ne destroyer
and four merchant ships and scored
hits on two other merchant ships,
the high command said.

But it is scarcely credible that the
German high command believes it
could conquer Great Britain within
fortnight after landing. There
are two military problems involved
In an invasion of Britain.
The first is the landing Of troops.
The second is maintaining an un-
interrupted line of communications
across the Channel to ensure rein
forcements and supplies. The Sec
ond is the more difficult, fer 1t is
possible a division or two Of troops
could disembark at some unexpect-
ed point. But If not backed up ade-
quately, the invaders would certain
~ meet with disaster. The weather
might be favorable for an invasion
at the outset, but succeeding bois-
ferrous condition in the Channel
would gravely interfere with the
passage of the essential supply
ships, quite apart from the power
of the British Navy to disrupt the
Channel line of communications.
Every day an invasion is delayed
brings "a hours nearer the time
when Americas SO destroyers traded
to Great Britain will be ready for
action in the Channel. The first
defense against invasion could reach
defence against invasion could reach
positions in the Channel by next
week, if necessary.
Offer Death Traps.
These speedy, well armed and ar
mored craft, able to manoeuvre
quickly, offer death traps to Ger
man transport barges. Added to
Britain's own destroyer hotillas, they
should make the realistic German
militarists hesitate to send trans
ports against them, the more SO
since the British air force does not
seem to have been seriously weak
ened.
Considering all known circum-
stances, it would appear that an in
vasion of Britain at this time would
be hazardous almost to the point
of desperation. Time and again.
Hitler has discarded military adj
vice and dismissed caution and has
obtained his detectives. But he has
never before faced an opponent pre-
pared as Britain is today to resist
invasion, with will power and de-
termination the equal Of his own.

cities.
It was charged that residential
sections of Hamburg and Bremen

Gus civilians were wounded or killed
Fires were caused in both Ham
burg and Bremen, the official news
agency said.
Swept Over Berlin
In their Berlin raid,~ British
bombers swept over the city in three
waves. Though no bomb eXpio-
sions were audible in the center OF
the capital, a government state
ment said that in addition to the
firing of a factory in the north
western section, small fires were
caused at various places in the in
ner city where incendiary bombs
struck residential and business
houses.

ing compiled, but Mr.. Hayden said
they will show another drop in the
case load. The number of aid cases
has been dropping steadily since
factory employment began gaining.
especially during July and August.
The latest employment figures
show that 1856 more persons went
to work in August, representing a
gain of approximately $50 persons a
week. Further employment gains ex-
pected during the fall should mean
further reductions in the relief rolls.
Mr.. Hayden said that many OF
those on city relief are physically
able and qualified for factory jobs
but are unable to get them, though
he Is in hopes that opportunities for
this group will come within the next
few months. Then, Of course, there
are many others on city relief who
are unable to accept steady employ
ment because of age or physical dis
ability.

on January 19, 1925, was dismissed as War Minister. Still he fought on. In October, 1926 he was busted from the political bureau of the Communist Party and in November, 1927, was expelled from the party. His foes said he had become just "a man of the streets"
 Early in January, 1928, he was deported to Alma Alta in Turkes- tan. After year there he was ex- pelled from Soviet territory. Tur- key agreed to receive him and he arrived at Istanbul in mid-Febru- ary, 1929, later being assigned a residence on the Island of Prinki- DO.
 Denied "Curcs"
 There he combated incipient tuberculosis, malaria, heart trouble and gout. Applications for permis- sion to visit cures in Germany Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in central Europe were denied and it was not until July. 1883, that France gave him asylum. Yet the following April he was ordered out of that republic because the government found he was organizing a fourth international to spread the doc Urine of world revolution. Sweden and Norway were his havens then until the Moscow trials sent him fleeing to Mexico.
 ! With him in Mexico was Natalia Ivanovna Sedoff who since 1903 had shared his fortunes and mis- fortunes and borne him two sons, Leon and Sergei Sedoff. She was the second woman in Trotsky's life. The first was Alexandra Lvovna Sokolcvsky who was one of the group which formed the first "cell' of the South Russia Workers Un- ion and was arrested with Lev Bronstein in January, 1928 They were married in the transfer prison at Moscow in 1899 because, under Czarist police rules, only married couples could be sent to the same village of exile.
 Tragic End
 When her husband escaped in 1902 he left her in Siberia with two daughters, zinaida and Nina, whose lives ended in tragedy after their husbands had been arrested by the Stalin regime in 1928. Trot- sky said in 1897 he had lost all track of his sonS-in-law.
 Nina, the younger daughter, wife of Nevelsohn, a journalist, died a few months after her husband was arrested. Zinaida, the elder of the sisters, married Volkoff, a teacher. ! In 1881 she left Russia to seek medical treatment abroad. Trotsky charged that the Stalin regime de- prived her of her citizenship, thus preventing her from returning to her children, and in January, 1883, she committed suicide in Berlin.
 The mother of these unfortunate sisters lived for many years in Rus sia As there had been no divorce, she always called herself Alexan- dra Bronstein.

and, on occasion, made public ad- dresses in Russian, French, German or English. Polyglot secretaries translated his fulminations into yet other languages. Meanwhile most of his fellow eXiles had recanted and been readmitted to the Soviet fold.
 That Trotsky remained a potent force was revealed when the Stall mites turned on his erstWhile ad- herents and, in the 1935-37 inter- val, obtained plot confessions from them and executed them in squads.
 Arch -COnspiratOr
 At these political trials, in which defendants sealed their own dooms by acknowledging sabotage, treason and murder schemes, he was named as the arch-conspirator and t. h e Moscow government moved to have him eXtradited from Norway. That country would not surrender him to the certain death that awaited his return to Moscow, but it did find he had violated his status as a political refugee by interfering in the affairs of nation with which his host was at peace He was asked to leave and, having exhausted the haven possibilities of Europe, he turned to Mexico.
 Sailing secretly on small freighter he left Europe December 19, 1886, and reached Tampico, Mex ico, on January 9, 1887, where he was met by Diego Rivera, noted mural painted. Trotsky pledged complete and absolute non-inter- vention in Mexican politics and ab- stinence no less absolute from acts that could harm the amicable rela- tions of Mexico with any other country
 Almost in the next breath he de- nounced the Moscow trials of for mer associates as frame and said that the charges against him personally were absurd" But Mex ico and the Soviet Union had sev- cred diplomatic relations several years before and no "amicable re- lation' were threatened by this out burst.
 Stalin Hatred Mutual
 The day Trotsky landed in Mex ico an English translation of his bitterly-worded fThe Revolution Be- trayed" was delivered to New York publishing house. The book charged that the Stalin regime had stifled Marxist socialism under a brutal bureaucracy and had substi- tuted for the workers and peasants. republic founded by Lenin, a totali- tarian state comparable to the Nazi regime in Germany and the Fascist government of Italy.
 In turn Stalin declared Trotsky aimed at fascist dictatorship for himself, pointing to confessions of his former adherents that they had plotted with Germany and Ja- pan to force losing war upon the Soviet Union in order to discredit and overthrow the Moscow govern ment.
 Fundamentally the two differed because Stalin had decided that the militant communism" of Trot- sky, which kept vision of world revolution as it's goal, was a failure, that the spread of communism could best be accomplished by erecting a strong state whose suc- cessful practice of the tenets of Lenin would convince the masses of other nations that in that sys- tenn lay their salvation.
 Planned Assassination
 Underlying these political aspects was mutual personal hatred. Neither ever forgave his rival for aspiring to. the power and prestige of Lenin and their quarrel developed to the point where Stalin sought the exc

5000 SQUARE
FEET IS ADDED
ON TO BUILDING
Benjamin, Of Salisbury, En-
larges The Floor Space Of
His Dept. Store

Mr.. I. L. Benjamin, founder and
owner of Benjamins, Salisbury wo-
mems shop, today announced that he
has leased 5000 square feet of ad-
ditional floor space, taking in the
second and third floors of the Kenner-
ly & Mitchell building. This space,
Mr.. Benjamin says, will permit an
Expansion of present departments, no
new departments being contemplated.
Plans call for selling space on the
entire second floor of the Kennerly
& Mitchell building, which will also
include the second floor of the store
formerly known as Doeschell's. These
two sides of the second floor of the
IKennerly & Mitchell building will be
used for increasing the selling space
of the children's shops. The new
shops will be divided into four Sec
tions. One will be for infants, one
for children three to six years. old
one for girls from seven to fourteen
years old, and the fourth for boys ur
to sixteen years old. Each depart
ment, Mr.. Benjamin explained, is to
be separate unit, entrance to which
will be through an arch-way of what
is now the second floor children's
shops.
The shop for children now on the
second floor will be smart new shop
for girls of teen to college age, and
the boys shops will be modernized fol-
foundation garments and negligees
Better dress and coat departments
will be expanded to take in the space
now used for foundations and negli.
gees. This will increase Benjamin's
total selling space approximately q
500 square feet.
The third floor will be utilized TO,
receiving, and marking of merchan.
disc. This will take the other $500
square feet of space.
Mr.. Benjamin says the schedule
calls for completion of the entire new
set-up by about March first.
