New Deal Incompetent
On Defense, Taft Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. g.
Senator Taft Of Ohio, stumping for
Wendell Willkie, the Republican
presidential nominee, charged last
night that the Roosevelt admins
tration was incompetent" to deal
with national defense.
Asserting that the preparation of
the country for defense was "an i'm
mensely complicated problem" Mr.
Taft said, ''in spite of the Presi-
dents protestations that he knew
all about what was going to happen
and predicted it, he failed to pro-
pose, or even to plan, a defense pro-
gram"
THE very kind of qualities needed
in an administrator to plan and
carry through a defense program
have been utterly lacking in the
Presidents handling of domestic
affairs" Mr.. Taft contended.

that city. Incendiary and explosive
bombs caused much damage.
Text of Communique.
The communique said
In the past night British planes
attacked the Reich's capital and
dropped explosive and incendiary
bombs at various places.
Among other things hit were
two hospitals, various apartment
houses as we'll as storehouses and
rail lines. Fires started were soon
brought under control.
Several dead and wounded are
to be deplored.
"One airplane was shot down by
anti-aircraft artillery
The plane shot down was trapped
in the beams of at least Is search
lights as it droned over the city
early in the raid at a height of more
than 5000 feet.
Lights Follow Plane.
Watchers saw the craft twist des-
perately in an effort to get clear of
the searchlights, but the fingers of
light followed it relentlessly as
ground batteries went itno thunder
Gus action.
Another plane appeared momen-
tarily in the glare and then ducked
away into the darkness, apparently
attempting to divert some of the
searchlights. But they clung to their
quarry which eventually was seen
to lose altitude and disappear below
the housetops with the smaller anti
aircraft guns still chattering away.
Just before the plane was hidden
from view a shell apparently scored
a direct hit and the craft burst into
flames and exploded, scattering de-
bris over a wide area. The Germans
said the entire crew was killed.
4-Hour- AZ Minute Alarm.
The communioue announcing last
nights raid on Berlin was the first
to report the bombing of military
obiectives since attacks on the Ger
man capital were begun by the Brit
ish
The Berlin alarm. which followed
three nights of quiet, lasted 4 hours
and AZ minutes. 1t was exceeded in
duration only by the 5-hour and
0-minute alarm on October l.
Fires fared in two sections. of the
capital at the height of the raid,
lighting the sky with ruddy glow
and spreading a pail of smoke. but
authorities said they were brought
under control before the all clear
was sounded.
Scarcely Moment of Quiet.
Throughout the entire alarm there
was scarcely a moment of quiet as
the raiders roared back and forth
across the city and the thud of
bombs mingled with the crash OF
anti-aircraft fire.
Planes often were at several points
over the capital at once, lodging
and twisting away from the search
ing fingers of light and the bursts OF
shellfire exploding around them like
fireworks.
The cannonading was the heaviest
vet heard in Berlin and pieces of
shrapnel rained down on streets and

To Judge from the effect Of his
singing yesterday, Mr.. CORN is
destined to become one Of the pop-
ular recital artists. His voice is
warm and expressive and he knows
how to choose q program and sing
1t with appeal. Yet there are sew
eral puzzling things about his work
that, because Of its general excel
lence, should not exist. The vi
brancy and color Of his middle reg
lister Is not carried into either that
above or below 1t and this uneven
ness causes a withdrawal of climax
that Is unexpected, while his pianis-
simo is hardly audible. In arias and
more dramatic songs he Just misses
the vigor that would carry them
over and this again is rather q sur
prise, for there is plenty of evi-
dence that he could do otherwise

Russian Songs on Program.
He also sang two operatic num-
bers, the difficult "Ah per sempre"
from Bellini's II Puritani" In which,
the passage work was feet and clear
and "Nemico della patria" from
Giordanos Andrea Chenier." His
feeling for the music was sincerely
present in Cavalli's "Troppo soavi
gusti," Paradies' Mia preso ALA
sua ragna" and especially in the
group of Russian songs which he
later sang. While his musicianship
and style could not be questioned,
the lack of complete focus both vo-
cally and interpretively made these
fall short of finished artistry. The
young singer was generous with en-
cores, adding touch of acting that
quite pleased his listeners. These
additional songs were not all Of value
