NIGHT RAIDS

LONDON. Sept 19.-Nazi planes criss-crcssed over the London area last night as anti-aircraft u n s opened up against the eighth air raid of the day. The German planes came in twos and threes in a periodic stream across the English Channel.
 The buildings of the London area rocked with the t.~~cmors from the high explosive guns that set up an intense barrage against the invad- CTS. Several bombs were reported dropped in the outer sections of the London area but there was no eSti- mate of the damage caused.
 The night raid came after day when British fighting planes and anti ircraft guns successfully hurled back waves of Nazi raiders.
 British reports are that 46 Ger man planes were shot down.
 Meanwhile, British planes contin- ued their raids along the French and Belgian coast in an attempt to smash the German preparations for an invasion of England Squadrons of British planes struck at Bou- lougne and then stretched out their attacks as the entire French coast seemed to be ablaZe.

Worries about Russian fortiflca- ticn cf Big Dicmede Island are grotmdless, according to the Rev. Bernard R. Hut bard, Glacier Priest" who returned from Boring Sea this week
 The Rev.

 Big Diomede would be a very poor place for a Russian airbase, Hub bard said, for our Little Diomede IS much higher ard guns mounted on it could blast everything off the top of Big Diomede, by shooting down on it only two and one-half miles away

West opened the spade king and

winning with the king and Mr..

cashed the second diamond. AS it

his club suit, retaining the queen of

Vests last four cards were the ace

alternative, whereupon dummy's

 As a reward" it was reported. Greece would be allowed to partici- pate in Adolf Hitler's new order for Europe and receive German pledge similar to that given to Rumania. Such pledge would replace the British guarantees to Greece.
 Reports of von Papen's activities were not confirmed in any official quarter nor were there any indica- tions that MetaXas was inclined to listen to the von Papen suggestions.
 Diplomatic quarters here attrib- uted von Papen's alleged peace move mainly to the serious reverse which Greece has inflicted on Italy. But the move also was attributed to Hit ler's desire to restore sufficient tram quility in Greece to enable Germany to obtain much needed chrome, fruits. raisins and other Greek prod- uce needed by Germany.
 Turkish circles in London believed that Greece would continue in the war. IL was pointed out here that Britain has kept her pledge and has given Greece the maximum of armed aid and supplies. Tlrkish quarters here were candid in saying that they had been impressed favof- ably by the extent of the British support to the Greeks.

 Under Chief Coming
 The war ministry publication Forge Armate said today that an of- flee of under-chief of the general staff would be' created to give the new chief, Gen. Ugo Cavallero, an assistant and substitute in case of his absence or illness.
 The office will be filled by royal decree on Premier Benito Musso- lirli's recommendation, and the ap- pointee must be an army, air or navy officer with at least the rank of army corps general, admiral or air squad- ron general, the publication said.
 Morning newspapers refrained from commenting on the resignation of Marshal Pietro Badoglio as chief of the general staff, and Cavallero's appointment. They published only the official conmunique.
 There were indications, however, that the tempo of the wars in AL bania and Africa would be stepped up under Cavallero, an exponent of

Continued from Page D his opposition by saying that he fa- vored the principle of American aid to China.
 The denunciations came while an Argentine mision was completing de- tails of the proposed loan with treas ury officials and a British financial mission prepared an empire balance sheet for Morgenthau, in order to give him "an accurate picture" Of Britain's financial position.
 It has been reported that the cur- rency stabilization loan to Argen- tina would indirectly be of benefit to Britain. Britain is buying huge quantities of beef in the Argentine market, which is a drain on her sup ply of foreign exchange. The loan could lessen that drain.
 British Envoy COnfers
 The head of the British mission, Sir Frederick Phillips, undersecre- tary of treasury, conferred for more than an hour with Morgenthau and other fiscal experts yesterday in the first of a series of conferences. Merle Cochran, director of the treasury stabilization fund, was at the meet ing.
 Some quarters thought the admin istration could make loan to Brit ain from the stabilization fund with out consulting with or obtaining the consent of Congress. Morgenthau discussed the proposed credit to China with a joint meeting of the Senate banking and currency and House coins, weights and measures committees after it was announced, and obtained unanimous approval.
 Phillips, assisted by G. H. s. Pin sent, financial counsellor of the British embassy, and staff of ex- perts were compiling the balance sheet" at Morgenthau's request. It will show, among other things. the extent of British empire resources in the United States, variously es- timated at from $4,000,0 100000 to 5000, ,000.00 and British purchases in the United States which totaled SITS, 100000 this year.
