Unhappily 1t is inevitable that men,

in the course of these activities be killed

plies to enemy attacks on our ports. The
remedy for that is evacuation, or deep

Personally I am of the opinion that
it would be wiser for us to concentrate
our raiding on that objective If we

Of the German war material is being

If this is to be prolonged war, it is
vital that both sides should come to an
understanding that bombing from the

proposition. 1t was proposed by several

ITALY'S FATE TIED TO ROCK
Axis Plans Drive on Gibraltar via Spain
BY Constantine Browu.

divisions through Spain, offering eve
conceivable facility at his disposal
Gibraltar is the key to the Western
Mediterranean. and in an agreement be-
tween Mussolini and Hitler the Mediter-
ranean has been recognized as wholly i'll
the Italian sphere of influence. Conse-
quently any German attack against the
Rock might produce a most disquieting
effect on Rome. Ribbentrop is under
stood to have been instructed to discuss
with his Italian colleague the possibility
of Italy's sending small force into
Spain, which would then join the Ger
man divisions. In that way, after Gil
braltar has been captured, both swastika
and Italian flags could fly together from
the top of Government House in Gibral-
tar. The question as to whether the
British fortress on Spanish soil shall be
returned eventually to Spain is reported
to have been raised by the Spanish AM
basSador in conversation with Ribben-
trop. but he was told that the principal
matter at the present time is to win the
war. Later these details can be settled
among friends.
MuSsOlini Worried.
Italy is keenly interested in closing the
gate between the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic Ocean. Believing that the con-
quest of England by Germany was only
a matter of days, Mussolini ordered Mar
shall Rodolfo Graziani to start the Ital-
ian offensive against Egypt. He de-
pended heretofore on the fact that OPP
erations of the German forces had
moved with clocklike precision. This
time something seems to have gone
wrong, and Mussolini is reported to be
concerned over the italian attack against
the British in Egypt. Despite the pres
ence of large italian naval air forces N
the Mediterranean, Britain is still able
to send important conveys of troops,
supplies and ammunition to her fight
ing forces in the Near East These sup
plies pass through the Red Sea from

A German-1talian attack on Gibraltar
through Spain is considered in nigh
Washington quarters as a probability in
the course of the next few weeks.
Ramon Suner, Generalissimo Frances
brother-in-law, was called to Berlin on
special invitation of the Fuehrer. Ac-
cording to reliable information he was
told that the situation at Gibraltar IS
intolerable and that the Rock" must
once more pass into the hands of Spain
Suner explained clearly the Spanish
situation. Spain. because of the Euro
pean wars outbreak, has been unable to
heal the wounds of the three years civil
war. The population is literally starving
and the army lacks necessary war ma
terlal. Furthermore, because of the
slowness of recovery, many sympathizers
are working underground and endeavor-
ing to undermine Frances regime For
the time being there's nothing TO be
feared from these people, but if the army
became engaged in war against the Brit
ish forces at Gibraltar, another uprising
might be unavoidable and Franco does
not feel that he could cope with both
war against a foreign power and civil
strife at home. In addition to these ar
guments. Suner pointed out that spain
is painfully lacking in modern war ma
terrell capable of reducing the strong Gil
braltar Notifications.
German Troops Ready.
Hitler and Ribbentrop gave full weight
to the Spanish objections and promised
frances representative that the situa-
ton will be ameliorated soon. Ribben-
trop was dispatched posthaste to Rome,
where he conferred with Ciano. Ger
many could probably take Gibraltar by
herself without much trouble, as there
are today at the Spanish French border

 In Catholic churches, special ser vices were held during the day in addition to prayers. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was offer ed yesterday afternoon and last night, and the litany for peace was recited. Yesterday marked the opening of the fall season in many churches. Sunday school classes resumed ses- sions in most Protestant churches, and church clubs made plans for fall and winter activities.

One, in charge of the complicated travel arrangements, is 8 success ful New York lawyer. Harold Gall lagher had never before campaigned in his life. Today he is directing most important aspect of the campaign on volunteer basis.
 The other is charged with the important but entirely unexciting duty of winnowing the grain from the chaff of the 1000 to 5000 letters which daily flood the nominee.
 His name is John Donaldson. If you passed him on the street you'd take him for successful, retired business man which is exactly what he is. Before this spring, Donaldson never had an interest in politics, much less an active part.
 But even before the Philadelphia convention he volunteered because Willkie "just sort of appealed" to him His reactions to his first taste ot politics: I've come to have real respect for politicians, because they work so blamed hard.
