Catholics Persecuted
In AIsace-Lorraine,
Vatican Charges
Nozis Try to Indoctrinote
Them With 'Pernicious
Alterations Radio Soys
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, Oct. 18.-The
Vatican radio, in an English broad
cast for the United States, said to-
day that Catholics of Alsace-Lor-
raine "are being tried in the fire
Of cruel persecution"
There are about 100000 people
in these two provinces formerly
French, now occupied by Germany, =,
and more than three -fourths of
them are Catholics" the broadcast
said.
To-day they are under the heavy
rule of the Nazis, who are using
every means to indoctrinate them
with the pernicious alterations of
their party's philosophy of life"
The broadcast said state schools
in Alsace and Lorraine have been
reorganized along the lines of these
false, immoral principles and Cath
olic schools have been suppressed
and thus hundreds of religious
women have been barred from the
field of education.
"Hitler youth organizations for
boys and girls have been established
everywhere, while many young boys
and girls are being sent into Ger
many to be instructed and formed
according to the Nazi ideology."

Administrative Offices
Included in Move
Of Episcopal Church
Bishop Freeman Says
Transfer May Not Be
Effected Within q Yeur

Removal of the headquarters OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church
from New York to Washington will
mean transfer of all administrative
Offices of the church here, Bishop
James E. Freeman of Washington
said in Kansas City, Mo-, yesterday,
according to the Associated Press.
Both legislative bodies of the
church convention, now in session
In Kansas City, approved the trans
fer Wednesday.
Transfer of the Offices may take
q year, Bishop Freeman said, point
ing out that no concrete provisions
have been made yet move them.
At the time the matter was de-
bated in the House of Bishops, pre-
siding Bishop Henry st. George
Tucker, Richmond, Va, said many
"technicalities must be worked out,
and it may take some time" before
transfer is effected.
Bishop Freeman, commenting on
the transfer, said:
IT have advocated the change
since 1925, because I believe the
Federal Capital is the logical center
for the seat of the presiding bishop.
I believe it will make for greater
efficiency for the church and give the
Cathedral in Washington a national
character"
Among the problems to be worked
out Is whether bishop would pe
retained to serve the Capital Spe-
cially.

Ballots From D. {.
Three Counties Have More
On Election Rolls Thon
Population, Is Charge

Allegations that three counties in
West Virginia have considerably
more registered voters than actual
residents, including children and
aliens as shown by the current
census, are being studied by the
Senate Campaign Investigation
Committee.
Calvert L. Estill, West Virginia
newspaperman, yesterday informed
Senator Gillette, chairman of the
committee, that there are 1924 more
voters in Berkeley, Morgan and
jefferson Countries than there is
population. He charged alleged
fraudulent voters are residents Of
the District of Columbia.
Jefferson County, he said, has 735
of this excess, Morgan County, 224,
and Berkeley, 665.
With the names of 900 residents
of the District of Columbia whose
right to vote in West Virginia is
questioned, investigators for the
Senate committee are making an
examination in each case. The
voting situation in the three counties
nearest the Capital, it was said, has
been fought by State residents for
years, but it was held that little
attention could be drawn to it be-
fore because members of both parties
are alleged to have participated in
the practice.
In many cases in the past those

the process of register
ing the absentees en- block through
a ballot bureau" here have ques-
toned their right to any residence
claim in the section either through
their own habitation or that of an
cestors. In some cases 1t has been
charged that names presented did
not represent actual, living voters.
In the majority of cases the pro-
tests were on the ground that there
was no basis for residence. Court
action has even been taken to test
the validity of claimed residence
through checking poll tax payments
and the residence data.
In a majority of the instances of
suspected cases it was said that the
registrant and prospective voter has
given no address other than Wash
ington. D. c., although the laws of
West Virginia require more specific
information as to residence.

Gen. EicheIbereer's
Assiqnment Revoked

An unexpected change in the as
signment of commander to the
Army's 5th Corps Area at Fort
Hayes, Ohio, was announced today
at the War Department.
1t involved revocation of recent
orders assigning Brig. Gen. Robert
L. Eichelberger, now at the Preside
in San Francisco, to assume COM
mand over the 5th Corps Area. In
his place the command of that area
was assigned to Brig. Gen. Clement
A. Trott, who is being transferred
from the 9th Division at Fort
Smelling, MINI.
No explanation for the change
was given by Army officials, vino
said orders covering Gen. Eichel-
berger's future assignment would
be issued soon. There are nine
geographical corps areas in charge
of supplying the needs of the Army
under the new organization.

British light naval craft yesterday attempted to bcnibard German posi- tions at the port of Boulogne, France, but were driven off by our coastal batteries without causing any kind of damage"
 Berlin had Quiet Night
 Berlin had spent quiet night af- ter three straight nights of British plane attack.
 Nazis reported that British planes flew in over Germany but were ap- parently intercepted before they reached the capital, if they were headed this way.
 Newspapers published long propaganda ministry report of visit by Field Marshal Walther Won Brauchitsch, commander in chief of the army, to the German forces in northwestern France.
 Announcing that Brauchitsch had toured harbors opposite England, the propaganda article said:
 Marshal Won Brauchitsch will be able to report to the fuehrer that his troops are constantly training and are prepared for further ac- tivity."
 (The activity, presumably, would be an attmpt to invade Britain.)

and blue royal standard was still fly ing from the palace.
 Longest Raid of All
 The German bombers, making the longest daylight raid of the war; dodged through the clouds over Lon don to drop bombs with sufficient regularity to cause dislocation of all normal life. The Nazis appeared to be attempting to retaliate for the alleged British bombardment of the reichstag in Berlin.
 (This indicated that bombs had hit or fallen close to the great par lament buildings on the Thames in the center of London, but the cen- sorship apparently prevented full ex- planation)
 With the entire nation alert against the danger of an attempt by Germans to invade the British Isles, the ministry of information issued this staetment:
 "In the course of the mornings air raids, bombs were dropped on Buck ingham Palace and slight damage was done. Their majesties who are in the palace are umharmed."
 Previously, early Tuesday, a de- layed action bomb had exploded be- side the palace, damaging the north wall and wrecking the swimming pool used by Princesses Elizabeth and. Margaret Rose.
 The two bombs that fell in the quadrangle or courtyard of the pal ace dug big craterS.

would be followed by the actual battle.
 What form this would take they would not suggest, whether more ex- tensive bombing attacks against other targets such as Liverpool and Manchester would be essayed or whether there would be an attempt at an invasion.
 Peak Not Yet Reached
 It was said, however, that the present German attacks did not rep resent the peak of intensity. Nazis said that their planes were raiding other areas besides London.
 As regards reports that Britain had developed new anti-aircraft tactics an informant said:
 Let us see if the British repeat their claim after today's raids"
 Overnight German plane activity was limited to armed reconnaissance by single planes, which dropped bombs when suitable opportunity offered" NaziS said.
 There were no mass attacks near London, It was said, partly because of unfavorable weather and partly because the German air force made it a practice to pause be- tween big attacks so that recon naisSance planes could take photo graphs by means of which the gen. eral staff could see results and plan new raids.

 Many windows in the south wing of the palace were shattered and walls were spattered with bomb frag- mentS.
 Incendiary bombs also fell in Downing street but it was stated officially that they were extinguished quickly and caused little damage. The residence of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other gov- ernment buildings are on Downing street. ..
 Over 5 Hours Bombing
 When the "all clear" signal was sounded at 1856 p. m. (8:56 a. m. EDT) after five hours and ten min- utes of alarm during the days sec- ond daylight raid, it was impossible to approach Buckingham palace to ascertain the damage done by Ger man bombs.
 Throughout the period of five hours air raid alarm the capital which had been under light bombing attack most of the night-was like a ghost city.
 The streets were almost empty. Stores, offices, shops and pubs were closed.
 Workers and bankers; stenogra- phers and women in expensive clothes huddled together in subways or doorways that offered protection from either bomb fragments or from shrapnel showered by the cap itals new and intensive anti-aircraft barrage defenses.
 Thousands Seek Shelter
 Thousands of persons took shelter in the subways during the daylight raid. The platforms were lined with Londoners, reading newspapers, sit- ting on the steps, lying along the walls, in an attempt to catch a few Winks of sleep.

CContinued from Page D Italy has rallied against Egypt be- cause of the British bases there and Egypt has said she would declare war in event of an Italian invasion)
 Informed quarters here believed that the Italian offensive aganist British forces in Egypt already had begun, following cessation of desert windstorms.
 Switch to Africa
 But today's communique told only of offensive air operations and then switched to East Africa where, it was said, Italian air raids had been made against enc my camps and barracks near Abiq, in the Anglo -Egyptino Sudan, and against a mechanized column of 20 units in the district of Fl Katulo in Kenya.
 Oondon dispatches had reported British belief that one of the Italian columns operating against Egypt would attempt to cross the Sudan, possibly from 8 bridgehead at Kas- sala, establsihe dby the Italian sev- eral weeks ago).
 Today's communique said also that an Italian submarine had returned to its base after sinking in the At lantic ocean 19,000 tons of British shipping, including a tanker of 10,- 900 tons and freighter of 5000 tons.
 Main Italian Columns
 Rome reports had said that three main Italian columns would or al- ready were converging upon main military objectives in Egypt over three main routes. The main push would be attempted along the Egyp- tion coast by two armies from Cy- renaica and the third would attempt to cut across the Sudan.
 Should the coastal armies succeed in reaching and cutting the Suez canal Britain's life line to India and empire in the Far East would be severed.
 It was reported that Italian Afri- can operations coincided with the setting in of cooler weather, making possible the employment of tanks, which could not be used extensively during the African summer.
 British bases in Egypt, such as Sollum, Sidi Barrani, Marsa Matruh and Alexandria have been subjected to heavy Italian aerial lombard ment for nearly week. The Ital- ians also have given considerable air force attention to the coastal rail- road linking Alexandria and Marsa Matruh.
 British Not Idle
 The P--itsih, it was admitted, have not been idle and it was believed that their air attacks had been aimed at preventing development of an Italian offensive. The Royal Air Force steadily has been raiding Ethiopia, Eritrea and even British Somaliland, which fell last month to the Italian army.
 Italian dispatches yesterday said that the British were preparing to throw thousands of New zealanders and Australians into combat. Native sources reported to Italy that 30,00e Australians who have been train ing in Palestine have been rushed across the Suez canal to join Aus tralians who have been training in Egypt. In this connection, Italain bombings of the Alkantara ferry service across the canal were be- heved designed to interrupt the flow of Australians from Palestine to Egypt.

 It was understood reliably that in the bombing of Buckingham Palace two explosive missiles fell in the in- ner quadrangle of the palace, a third hit the private chapel at the south wing and two others fell in the roadway between the Victoria

 The official news agency said that new attacks on London industrial and harbor works were success fully" carried out this morning and the numerous air battles developed.
 Nazis said that sharp tighten ing" of the British censorship in the last S6 hours had prevented a leakage of true facts" concerning conditions in London, which must be terrific in view of the fact that what it has experienced so far is only the beginning and will surely be WorSe."
 They alleged that the "paucity" of London news in the world press "unquestionably" was due to serious disruption of technical facilities as the result of bombings.
 An official news agency com- munique said that German recon naissance" plane reports were that bomb hits in the last attack on Lon- don and other places in England was successful. An airplane fac- tory in southern England was so heavily hit that it was unable to continue production, it was alleged. Did Not Reach Berlin A high command communique said that British planes which flew over northern and western Germany during the night did not succeed in reaching their objectives. Only a few bombs were dropped on residential quarters and one village and caused only slight damage"
 The communique said that eGr- man submarine had sunk six armed merchant ships totaling 37,6O0 tons, including 1000 ton ship. the loss of which already had been reported.
 The high command said that during armed reconnaissance" of southern England, German planes bombed industrial objectives in Lon- don, Bexhill, Brighton, Banbury and other towns. It was claimed that southwest of the Isle of Man a mer- chant vessel oi 800 Otons was dam aged seriously by bombs.
 A communique said that last night German planes again bombed har- bors and docks at London and Liver pool, causing new blazes and explo- sions. The laying of mines in Bri- tish harbors was continued, the high command said. It claimed that one British airplane was shot down yes- terday and that one German plane was missing

 The Westminster city council, ex. erting authority over the central area, planned to appoint special marshals to prevent shelters being used as dormitories by people who live in other parts of London.
