GERMANY CLAIMS
CONTROL OF AIR

British conveys in the accentuated
campaign to destroy Britain's ship
ping and harbor facilities and de.
moralize her people.
The Germans asserted a dive-bomb-
ing attack on a convoy east of
Southend sank two freighters and
set another afire, with the Germans
and British each losing a plane.
All British shipping and naval op-
erations in the channel now are
greatly hampered, they said, because
of extensive destruction at Ports.
mouth, Portland, Dover and the Isle
of Wight.
The Germans appeared to be bomb
ing the British coast section by Sec
ton, since the attacks today were
just north of Weymouth and Port
land, objects of Sundays forays.
Barely an hour after the battle
was resumed this morning, German
fighters radioed back the British
were showing evidences of the Sun
day raids by refusing to come out
and fight.
Instantly, German observers jump
ed to the conclusion: I'VE already
have established air superiority over
the channel"
This is the first sign of broken
British resistance they declared.
Throwing fresh pilots into the bat
tie, the Germans conducted their op-
erations on a free chase" basis,
which was interpreted as meaning
they could strike where they pleased.

age, Johnson charged that it "is
the most radical departure from
American tradition ever proposed
and is the first step in making
our army our nation"
The conScription measure, which
would require 100000 men be-
tween 81 and 81 to register for a
years army training, "adds nothing
to national defense" but "subtracts
much from a sound, sensible, mod
ern national Defense" johnson said
AS he spoke, Senate Democratic
Leader Alben w. Barkley and Chair
man Norris Sheppard of the sem
ate military affairs committee plan
ned for a second consecutive night
session to speed work on the bill
Barkley and Sheppard hoped that
the bill could be sent to the house
tonight.
Three Substitutes
Three substitutes offered to the
bill remain to be voted on. OF the
three, the draft deferment" pro-
posal of Sen. Francis T. Maloney,
D.. Conn, has attracted the most
support. 1t would delay conScrip-
ton until Jan. |, 194l, and apply
it then only if voluntary one-year
enlistments fail to fill army quotas
by then.
Johnson was critical of the army's
attitude toward the government.

United States have never voted"
he said. They know nothing about
