Ccnters of Capitals Safe.

CenteFS or CapltaAS Snte.
 Common sense dictates that the centers of London and Berlin re- main unmolested since neither bel- Eligerent can hope to gain militarily by sacrificing its own headquarters for the privilege of damaging the others.
 Yet, there are times when desper- ation or temperamental anger brushes common sense aside.
 German raids over Great Britain at large are reverting to the pre- blitzkrieg type. That is, they are being conducted by formations of comparatively few planes instead of engaging in great mass attacks. The abandonment of mass formations seems deliberate, since weather con- ditions have allowed their use. It may be inferre dthat massed planes have been found by the Germans to offer too much target area for successful attack.
 The Germans continue, however, to scatter their objectives, which is against the German military tradi- tion in field operations. If there were continuously concentrated att tacks against the British coastline, the assumption might be made that the possibilities of an invasion still fingered in Hitler's mind.
 Attacks Sporadic.
 On the contrary, attacks against the great British ports are sporadic in intensity. More attacks seem aimed at the midlands and western and southwestern England than along the east and southeast coasts where an invading force would try to land. The present German pur- pose thus seems scattered. The damage sought apparently is an end in itself, not preliminary to some secret move to bring the war to a quick end.
 Berlin states that the present German objective is the systematic destruction" of Britain. But there is lack of system in the German attack as shown by American cor respondents who have visited many bombed areas and report no con- tinuous raidings and little basic damage.
 Furthermore, Lord Beaverbrook minister of airplane production states that last week Britain pro- duced more planes "than ever be- fore in the history of aviation" This phrase implies not only a new rec ord for British factories, but also that more planes are being turnec out weekyl in Britain than ever be- fore have been produced anywhere including Germany.
 Such being the case, it would ap. pear that the assaults on Grea Britain are demonstrating oncs again that air offensives cannot vii a war, by their own efforts. + Spain and China this truth wa demonstrated before the present wal started. Germany is contributing further confirmation by the obsta. cles Hitler's aviators are encounter ing in trying to wear down British resistance.

 "Sheehy, the.

 Mahoney said that he considered Willkie still member of the club.
 He hasn't resigned" he said. "He is just behind in his dues. The rec ords show that he paid dues the last time in May, 1886.

 Fingerprinting Next
 At the conclusion of this inter view, the aliens passed into the inner room. where the process of fingerprinting took place. Richard Lawlor took the prints of the first alien who arrived, and before long there were two men on duty, as the number of candidates increased. Following the fingerprinting, the aliens passed into the charge of the stenographers, who took down the information about them on the per- manent record. The last stage in the process was swearing to the truth of the statements made.
 After the staff at the post office has had a little more practice and developed a regular routine, the process of registering should not take more than about twenty min utes, since only twice that time was required for the first applicant this morning.
 William J. Phelan, who is in charge of the registration here, will be at the post office until seven o'clock tonight, supervising the tab- ulation of information, and the staff of twelve men assisting him will work all day in two shifts.
 Nation Has Begun
 Washington, Aug. 27-(UP)-The United States today began the task of registering and fingerprinting the 3.e00,000 aliens within its boun- diaries.
 The Job was entrusted to trained workers at first and second class postofiices throughout the land.

 Today he will conclude these con- ferences with a luncheon for state leaders from the Pacific coast and the northwest. He will levae by train tonight for Des Moines, Ia., to attend notification ceremonies for Vice Presidential Candidate Henry A. Wallace.
 Tammany Willkie
 The question of whether Wendell L. Willkie, Republican candidate for president, was a member of Tam many Hall has boiled down to a definition of terms. To draw a strict line, there are two Tammanys. One is the official Tammany. the so- ciety of St. Tammany or Columbian order which is. described by mem bers as a purely patriotic group with no political affiliation. Its members, however, are exclusively Democratic.
 Then there is the political Tam many composed of the members of the 35 district political clubs in Manhattan who use the Society of St. Tammany's red building as headquarters or clearing house.
 Tammany officials said they con- sidered a man a member of Tam many Hall when he pays dues to any of the 35 political clubs. Bert Stand, secretary of Tammany Hall, said that there was mo doubt" that Willkie could be referred to as a former Tammany man although he was not a member of the Society of St. Tammany.
 Supported by Flynn
 This interpretation was supported by Edward J. Flynn, chairman of the Democratic national committee, in replying to Willkie's statement that he was never member of Tammany Hall. Willkie made the denial accusing Secretary of the In- terior Harold L. IckeS of uttering "plain and simple falsehoods" in de- scribing the Republican nominee as a Tammany member.
 Flynn said Willkie "likeS to give it but he can't take it."
 Then he read from @ prepared statement which accompanied pho tostatic copies of records of the board of elections. Flynn said: "Wendell Willkie of the utilities party, in his telegram to the chair man of the Republican national committee, said that the statement of MT. Ickes that I am or ever was @ member of Tammany Hall was a plain and simple falsehood." Report Proves Charge

 Gayda on Egypt
 Gayda, writing in the Giornale d. Italia, took note of the resignation of Premier Hassan Sabri Pasha of Egypt who has been instructed by King Farouk to form new cabinet
 Hassan, Gayda charged, is anti Italian and supports policy which is dangerous to Italy. Therefore, Gayda said, Italy must fight the threat of Egypt.
 "Hassan Sabri Pasha," said Gayda lis considered by the British as the Egyptian agent for their anti Italian, anti-Egyptian policy. The British made him head of the Egyp. tion government when Italy entered the war, replacing Ali Maher Pasha who was suspected of favoring the Italian policy.
 "Hassan Sabri's unexpected resig- nation shows that great number oi Egyptians are opposed to his policy which carries great risks for Egypt
 "The Egyptians so far haven't been able to neutralize in part the offen- sive function assigned them by the British. Therefore in all logic Italy regards Egypt as carrying direct and serious threat and takes steps to eliminate that threat"
 Mediterranean Status
 The Italian press also devoted at. tention to the Mediterranean situa- tion, claiming the British fleet nc longer could find a place of safety because of constant Italian attacks Popolo di Roma reported from Ma. drid that the British fleet left Gib- raltar Sunday night for an unknown destination.
 "Italy is confronted with a tragic and grotesque political paradox ir Egypt" Count Ciano's newspaper said. "The Egyptians are friend! while they give hospitality to oul British foes"
 Asserting that there were 6000( Italians in Egypt, the newspaper continued:
 For us the friendship of the Egyptians and the threat coimns from their territory is incompre- hensible. The only way to solve the Egyptian problem is by means o1 Marshal Graziani's sword"
 Marshal Rodolfo Grazini is Italian commander in chief in North Africa
 The Popolo di Roma asserted that Italy had achieved dominance in the Mediterranean through harrassment of the British naval base at Alex andria and attacks on British maya vessels.
 "The British feet" the newspaper said, "can no longer find peace ir the Mediterranean. The two en. trance sto the seas are constantly under bombing action of the Italian air force.
