Majority Leadership
In House Taken Over
By Mccormack
New EneIonder
Democratic Choice
Over Woodrum
BY the Associated Press.

Dy IIlc hseOlIdlcu Eitss.
An aggressive New Englander,
Representative John w. Mccormack
of Boston, took over the reins today
as House Democratic leader.
Henceforth. when Democrats and
Republicans clash over legislation
both will be led by representatives
from Massachusetts,. Joseph w.
Martin. jr., of the Bay State Is the
Republican leader.
Representative Mccormack was
chosen at a Democratic caucus late
Yesterday to succeed Sam Ravburn
of Texas. who was elevated to the
House speakership after the death
of William B Bankhead of Alabama
last week. Mr.. Bankhead served
two years as leader before being
chosen Speaker in 1887.
Defeats Woodrum.
The first Northerner to win the
leaders post since a SOuthe1ner
took it over in 1895. Mr. McCor-
mack defeated Representative Wood
rum of Virginia on the first ballot
by a vote of l4l to 81. On Mr.
Woodrum's motion, the vote later
was made unanimous.
The new leader. once a Boston
newsboy, generally has been a
warm supporter of policies of Pfesi-
dent Roosevelt. On some occasions
however, he has opposed measures
favored by the administration
Most recently. he voted to give the
enlistment system a 60-day tria.
before invoking the draft.
Before electing Mr.. Mccormack
the caucus defeated, l08 to 81, a
motion of Representative Vinsor
of Georgia to postpone the selection
of a leader until the next Congress
is seated in January.
A lawyer by profession, Mr.. Nc
Cormack paid his way through
night school by selling newspapers
While studying for the bar in law
Offices, he worked as messenger
and later as an auditor.
He is 40 years OF age and has giver
a member of the House since 1928.
Only Two Nominated.
Although several other member:
had announced their candidates. fol-
the post, only the names of Repre-
sentatives Mccormack and Wood
rum were placed in nomination
Others who had figured in the race
before the caucus were Jere Cooper
of Tennessee, Patrick J. Boland OF
Pennsylvania. John Rankin Of Mis-
sissippi and Andrew Somers OF New
York
Representative Arthur Healey Of
Massachusetts, who placed Mr.. Nc
Cormack in nomination, urged that
the Democrats go before the ooun-
try as a united party. He asserted
that # the speakership and leader
ship both went to one section OF
the country - the South - party
members in other regions would
lack encouragement to work for the
common cause.

Recruits Are FIockinq
Into Army, With Goal
OF 375,000 in Sight
Compoien Is Ahead
Of Schedule; Droft Not
Declared Major Cause

Recruits for the Regular Army are
enlisting for three-year terms at
such a rapid rate that War Depart
ment officials predicted today that
the immediate objective of 375, 200
men would be attained by the mid
die of November, we'll ahead Of
schedule.
With machinery for the countrys
first peacetime draft moving forward
smoothly toward registration day,
October 16, Army officers did not
give the impending conscription Of
necessary man power major credit
for the squirt in voluntary enlist
ments. They pointed out that re-
cruits were flocking in even before
the selective service bill was intro
duced in Congress.
Men Waiting in Line.
There were $4,000 enlisted men
in the Regular Army at the last
tabulation, few days ago. and re-
cruiting Offices in large cities re-
ported queues Of men waiting to be
examined
While the Selective Service Act
permits voluntary enlistments of one
year, the Army is not yet accepting
men for this term, but still is sign
ing them up for the full three-year
stretch. After October l5 local draft
boards will handle one-year volun-
teers, turning them over to the Army
and exempting them from the draft
it they meet all the requirements.
New Record Expected.
Three-year enlistments indicated
a new record of 10000 or more for
September will be attained. COM
pared with 1851 in August and
81 $50 in July.
The recruiting drive which has
been under way for year has
employed newspaper advertising ef-
fectively. Mobile recruiting stations
also have gone about the country
attracting men.
The present enrolment of the
Army is the largest in the country's
peacetime history While the
present goal is 375,0OO. plans are
underway to continue the expansion
campaign, regardless of the draft
and the National Guard moblli-
zation.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. Of
Montana leading opponent Of the
conscription bill. commenting on the
sharp increase in voluntary enlist
ments, predicted that there would
be enough volunteers to supply ths
100000 men allotted for the first in.
crement OF the draft.

When daylight again streaked the
Channel skies fresh British airmen,
heavily bundled against the chill
roared off to a new offensive thrust
inspired by the constant threat OF
invasion from the German-held
French coast
Like the rumble of thunder in a
Channel storm. their bombs burst
today in the region of Calais and
Cap Girls Nez.
This daylight ASSAULTS minutes
In which the terrific detonations
were heard on the English side as
virtually one continuous reverbera-
tion-followed a three-hour attack
in the light of pale moon from
Boulogne to Dunkerque.
The weather on the English Cham

rendered impossible any navigation
by shallow-draft boats-suCh as Ger

the day came on.
Even so there was a slight swell in
mid Channel, and cold northeast
wind failed to break the sunrise haze
masking the French coast.
In the first attack. observers on
the cliffs of the English shore could
see the fash of explosive and in
cendiary bombs, the sweep of search
lights and the glare of flares along
the whole stretch of coast nearest
England
The NaA raiders took new path
to the British capital for their 10th
consecutive dusk-to-dusk assault,
coming up the Thames Estuary, in
stead of by way Of "Hell's Corner -
the southeast coast.
The heavily-bombed central area
of the city however. had a respite
from the intense attacks of previous
nights.
The government said London. its
suburbs and the surrounding dis
tricts again bore the brunt OF the
nights air attack.
The raiders, after coming up the
estuary, divided into two groups, one
attacking the northwest section OF
the city the other the southern area.
Bombing was reported particularly
heavy in the northwestern region.
