HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE HEiSKECL

Reports from Baltimore to the
effect that Washington County's
Democratic leader, William p.
Lane, is gaining support for the
post of National Committeeman
should serve as additional proof
that Democratic leaders through
out the State consider the local
man as an important cog in
Maryand's major party. 6ut to
his thousands of friends in this
section, this recognition is really
not surprising.
Only recently, with the defeat
of Howard Bruce, the calamity
howlers yelled loud and long
that the General had picked a
loser - again! Well we won
der! It's true that his candidate
went down, but he certainly
went 10 in this county. In
Analysing the vote in the State,
it is interesting to note that this
county gave Bruce his largest
me- jority. This being true, can
only assume that the Democratic
Organization of Washington
County, of which Lane is the
recognized head, is without. ques-
ton, the most thoroughly or
ganized, most efficient and the
most powerful of it's size in the
entire Free State.
Mayor Howard w. Jackson,
who threw a monkey wrench into
the Bruce hopes in Baltimore,
has already announced that he
favors Lane for the National
Committeeman post, which, of
course, is not startling an
nouncement. 1t was in this
county that Lane rallied his forces
to the Jackson banner two short
years ago and came through
with a three-to-one victory over
his opponent, Governor O'Conor.
And something tells me that MIR.
jackson is still hankering to
move his household goods to An
napols.
Everything is comparatively
quiet along the Mayoralty front,
but they do tell me that when
the Republican roll call of can
ddates is made that former
Judge George Hicks will step up
and answer "present." The bar
rister, during the past few months
has. without solicitation, been
offered support from scores of
friends and party workers, and
when an" day comes he will be
anything but dark horse. From
other sections, as stated before,
all is quiet, with the exception
of the Women's Republican d.
vision, where the fair sex, with
much less experience in political
matters are really showing up
the G, o. p. master-minds by
makinq the front pages with
painful regularity.
should imagine that all this
activity on the part of the female
of the species has been embar-
RAISING no end to the b'hoys
sin the know" The ladies have
discovered that after all there is
nothing mysterious about poll
tics and success can only follow
proper organization. In this
county the G. o. p. is falling
apart at one end while the
women are welding it together

Churchill Tells Commons Nation Now Striking
 Back At Invader
BY FREDERICK KUH

 London, Oct. 8.-UP1 Prime Minister Winston Churchill, radiat- ing confidence, told the House of Commons today that Germany had masSed l,200, 900 men and transports for 500,000 men for the invasion of the British Isles, hut that Great Britain with the aid -of the rev worlud" was striking baek more pg4- erfully than ever against the axis war machine.
 Promising to regain the initia- tive" Churchill gave a hloW-by -hiow story of recent war developments, expressed belief that the German air force had failed in its objective of blasting Britain to destruction and said that "a lot of things arc going to happen" to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
 In swift, dramtic strokes, tho prime minister painted this pie ture:-
 1. Great Britain must reopen the Burma road over which China receives military supplies after oc- tober 17th because of the new Ger man Italian Japanese allianee which he said was directed primar- fly against the United States and Russia and presumably contained secret clauses which would make t favorable to Japan.

 London, Oct. g. (U.P.) = British fighters shot down several German planes over London today, the air and home security ministries said III a communique after 50 German planes had penetrated the central London defenseS.
 The German attackers rained bombs in streets and on buildings in a ferocious morning rush hour attack but the communique said that casualties were not numerous.
 There were some fatal injuries when debris hit a passenger train and a number of persons were killed and others were injured seriously when a bomb hit two houses in a main thoroughfare.
 The ministries said that bombs fell during heavy traffic but that British fighters either shot down the attackers or drove them of.
 The raid caught the city when its streets were jammed with men and women going to work. Air raid sirens had been ignored, as it was thought the Germans were merely making their usual morning recon naissance.
 As the bombs started crashing, people dived for shelters or dropped prone beside walls, seeking whatever cover they could find.
 Then bombs began striking build ings and crashing in the streets among pedestrians and traffic.
 Those who had taken shelter left cover. ignoring their danger. to aid the wounded and to remove bodies Of the dead.
 One bomb struck a bus crowded with passengers. Shutters were torn from shops for use as stretcherg to remove the wounded. It was feared that oil those on the top deck had been killed. Several hcdies were re- moved from the lower deck Ia eddis ton fo numerous wounded.
 The wounded were put On the sidewalk until afibulancos arrived, A nearby hospital said that casual.

 Shanghai, Oct. 8E(UP)-Ameri- can consular officials were instruct ed by the State Department today to advise Americans to evacuate China. Japan, Manchukuo, Korea French Indo-C China and Hongkong Coincidentally Britis h-Japanese Tokyo British Ambassador Sir Rob- ert L. Craigie informed Foreign Minister Yosuke MatSuoka that Britain would not renew its agree ment to close the Burma supply route to China. The agreement ex- pires on October IT.
 Another important development came with Japanese decision to postpone indefinitely formal recog- milton of the Wang Ching Wei re- gime at Nanking, sponsored by the Japanese army. It was reported that postponement of recognition which had been planned for Thurs day, was agreed upon after receipt of German and Italian advice. Ger many and Italy were reported to have told Japan that under the alliance Japan should retain control of all facilities for manufacturing war supplies in occupied Chinese territory.
 Advised To Leave
 Among the developments of to- day chief interest to Americans lay in the State Departments decision to instruct consular officials to ad- wise their nationals to leave as soon as transport facilities permit.
 It was believed that the American consulate general here intended to relay the instructions, probably by means of a confidential circular mo- tice, to all American citizens in the Shanghai area tomorrow.
 Admiral Thomas c. Hart United States navy commander in chief in the Far East, was understood to be preparing orders to wives of United States navy men to leave for the United States as soon as poSsi- ble.
 Women, Children First
 The State Department instruc- tions were understood to say that American women and children and non essential men especially should be advised to get out of the areas mentioned as soon as possible.
 It was reported that some Ameri- can ship might be diverted to Chi- nese ports to facilitate evacuation.
 According to reports. the State Department advised congalates that evacuation instructions should not be interpreted sensationally and that Ainerlcans should be advised quietly" to staft home.

Crosley Field, Cincinnati, October 8. Cincinnati'S 194O Reds, National League champions for the second suc- ceSsive season, but the "goats" of the 1889 World Series when they were shut out in four straight games by the New York Yankees, were "heroes" of the 1940 Series which went to it's seven game limit here this after noon. Cincinnati defeated Detroit in the final game, ? to l, thanks to q pair of doubles by Frank Mo- Cormack and Jimmy Ripple in the seventh, sacrifice by Wilson and a long fly ball by Myers on which Ripple tallied with the all- important game winning run. which means difference of $2,100 to each player on the winning and losing team.
 In the third inning, Detrcitl scored a big run on an error by Billy Werber one, of the outstand- ing players of the series when Wer- Der knocked down a hard-hit ball by Charley GehrinGer, then threw badly to Frank Mccormick to catch the batter, as Sullivan, who had singled scored from second on the play, when McCormack'S throw was late. Paul Derringer for Cil- cinnati and Buck Newsola for De- troit were the opposing pitchers, each touched for seven hits.
