LONDON, July 31.-The British
armed merchant cruiser Alcantara
fought a battle with German
raider, a fast converted merchant
ship, in the South Atlantic but was
unable to prevent the raider escap-
ing, the Admiralty announced today.
The Admiralty said the German
ship, mounting four guns on each
broadside, turned away immedi-
ately after she was hit, using a
smoke screen to escape.
The Alcantara, however, chased
her until a German shot reduced
her speed, the report said.
The British casualties were two
killed and seven wounded.
The 22,209-ton British Royal Mail
liner Alcantara was converted into
an armed merchant vessel with 10
guns mounted on her decks. She
joined the British South Atlantic
Squadron last March.
Shipping Attacked Again.
Meanwhile, German planes at
tackled shipping of the southeast
coast of England, continuing blows
they have been delivering In this
region almost necessarily for the
past three days.

i. 5. Bans Exports
OF Aviation Gasoline
From Hemisphere
Needed for Defense, Soy.
President; Europe
Large Customer
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The administration today banned
exports of aviation gasoline to all
nations except those Of the Western
Hemisphere.
American-owned aviation firms
operating outside the hemisphere,
however, still will be able to get the
fuel
The Commerce Department said
the Presidents order would virtually
wipe out the aviation gasoline ex-.
port business in this country. In
the first six months of this year,
Europe took 1,076,238 barrels of the
1,164,343 barrels the United States
sold throughout the world. Japan
and Russia at one time we're good
customers for these products, but
the State Department instituted a
moral embargo against those coun-
tries last year.
Shipments Abroad Listed.
Principal shipments in the first
half of this year were 513,5l3 bar
rels to France, 504,196 to the United
Kingdom, 32,47o to Sweden, 1890 to
Finland, 6,867 to Norway. 6857 to
the Netherlands, 3,275 to the Azores,
2,727 to Portugal and 1913 to Spain
Germany and Italy have received
none this year, as far as the Com
merce Department records show.
Stephen Early, presidential secre-
tary. told reporters that Col. r. L.
Maxwell, administrator of export
control, had recommended and the
President had approved this an
nouncement:
I'm the interests of the national
defense, the export of aviation gaso-
line is being limited to nations of the
Western Hemisphere, except where
such gasoline is required elsewhere
for the operation of American-owned
companies"
Two Tankers Stopped.
Mr.. Early said he did not know
whether the United States had been
exporting aviation gasoline to Eng
land. The administration recently
stopped two oil tankers bound for
Spain.
BY letting American-owned COM
panies continue to get the fuel, the
administration will cooperate with
such firms as Pan-American Air
ways, which operates to Portugal
and along various Pacific routes.

to meet the attack, and some of

The explosion of bombs could be

Ronald H. Cross, Minister of

Afternoon Showers
To Break Heat Wave,
Bureau Predicts
Cooler, Drier Air
Is Forecast After
Maximum of 90

The Weather Bureau forecaster
said today Washington would have a
taste of cooler weather tonight and
tomorrow. Showers this afternoon
will signal a break in the heat wave,
he predicted.
A maximum temperature of SO was
forecast for today. Then thunder
showers will mark the arrival Of a
mass of cooler, drier air. Tonight,
tomorrow and tomorrow night will
be cooler, with temperatures during
the day in the 80s, the forecaster
said.
July was going out in a blaze of
heat, with the mercury heading up
into the 90s for the 18th consecutive
day of the heat wave. It has been
the most prolonged and intense hot
spell since 1880, Weather Bureau
records showed.
Oddly, the average temperature
for July appears to be only about
one-han degree above normal. This
is because of the abnormally cool
weather in the early weeks of the
month. which are averaged with the
high temperatures Of the last two
weeks.
Yesterdays high was 96, reached
at 3:45 pm. Not until midnight did
the thermometer 60 below 80. The
low for today was n degrees,
reached at 6 o'clock this morning.
This was five degrees higher than
the lowest temperature yesterday.
The temperature at lis pm
was 81.

The deaths of four more persons

rectly to heat strokes, while another

Invasion Of Britain
Not 10 Be Expected
Soon, Gayda Says
Lightning Campaign Like
That Against France
Held Not Feasible
BY the Associated Press.

oS tuc hSSOCldteu EIcoS.
ROME, July 31.-Virginio Gayda,
editor who frequently expresses
views of the Fascist government,
warned his countryntn today not
to expect an immediate attempt
to invade England.
New indications that German
operations against Britain might
be growing closer were contained
in reports from Vichy, France,
that, postal, telegraph and tele-
phone communication in the
German-occupied sections Of
France has been suspended.
Communications between occu-
pied and unoccupied areas also
were reported severely
Gayda, writing In II Giornale
d'Italia, explained that, because of
different conditions, "the spectacu-
lar lightning campaign" such as
Germany, and later Italy, waged
against France, was not feasible
against Britain.
Gradual Tactics Required.
Instead, Gayda said, more gradual
tactics, designed to wear England
down and weaken her powers OF re-
sistance, were required. This pre-
paratory stage, with the object of
isolating Britain, now is in progress,
the editor said.
1t is based principally, he de-
clared, on constant air attacks and
efforts to blockade England through
submarine action.
Parallel with direct attacks on the
British Isles, Italy will be contrib
uting in the weakening of Britain's
strength by activities in the Medi-
terranean, Gayda said.
He predicted that actual invasion
of Britain probably would be at
tempted later when the preliminary
phase was thoroughly accomplished.
Less than three weeks ago Gayda
asserted that preparations for a
vast axis assault on Britain would
be completed in few days.
He wrote July Is that Britain
would have to choose between the
"renovating, restorative forces of
