each of the committees would have
ten members.
Governor Hoey was quoted as
saying the first step would be to
open an office in Washington, D.
c., to look after North Cardinals S
interests in securing defense in
dustries and contracts. A director
of the office will soon be appoint
ed.
Mayor Cooper pointed out that
Wilmington has been active in its
efforts to obtain defense industries
and defense establishments, and
said he hoped the first action of
the committees to be appointed
for New Hanover county would be
to secure industries of this type
and to assure the proper defense
of the North Carolina coast, parti-
cularly in the Wilmington area.
The long unguarded coastline OF
the state, together with the i'm
portance of the industries and COM
mercial activities centering in Will
mington make it imperative that
the armed services take steps to
assure this section against attack,
he said.
Cooper also expressed the hope
that there would be a greater uni
fication of the various interests
seeking to secure defense ac.
tivities for Wilmington.

be generally observed at this time
by reason of the expanding 1mpor-
tance of the American navy.
"The proper observance of this
day should take form by acquaintlng
our people with the Importance OF
the navy, with the great service
which it has rendered in all the
past, and in fostering a better un'
derstnading of it's work, and also OF
the possibilities which may lie ahead
for this important branch of our
national defense and formation of
correct judgment on the part OF the
American people in connection with
our naval policy is of prime impor-
tance. The slogan of Navy Day Is
Keep the navy strong"
sThe army of the nation is now
in full swing and this preparation
for national defense provides for a
new navy policy based on the main
tenance of a two-ocean navy and the
DEVELOPMENT of naval aviation as an
integral part of the naval forces OF
the nation.
'The fact that the observance OF
Navy Day this year falls on Sunday
need not in any way detract from the
proper observance of this important
event, for it is always of prime i'm
portance that the personnel of the
nation be strong mentally, physi
cally, morally and spiritually, to the
end that it shall be prepared at all
times and ready to meet any foe In
defense Of our whole country"

To reach it, the Italians had to

senger traffic was delayed by Ger
man troop trains moving toward
Rumania.
There were continued although
unconfirmed reports that the Rus
sian army steadily was strength
ening its forces on the Bessarabian
frontier-the new Russian -Rumani-
an border.
The majority of Balkan observ-
ers, however, expressed belief that
only strong diplomatic activity
could be expected for the time be-
ing. They said no tangible evi-
dence appeared that the Axis has
any immediate plans for a cam
paign in the Near East.
New Blackout
Rumania's new blackout occa-
stoned no surprise here in view of
German claims that the Rumanian
oilfields were threatened. It was
regarded also as a disciplinary
measure intended to impress the
Rumanian populace with the al
legged necessity of German mill
tary cooperation.
The announcement of the regu-
lation came, however, as a British
news broadcast mentioned that Ru-
mania's oil fields were within easy
bombing distance from Greece-a
friend of Britain.
The British minister still is in
Bucharest, although many of his
nationals have left Rumania on or
ders from London.
Germany was credited with a
further victory in Yugoslavia
through a new trade agreement
and expressions of political col
laboration" but Britain's hopes of
building some form of diplomatic
buffer still centered at Istanbul,
at the other end of the Balkans.
The Turkish press kept up its
tone of fierce opposition to the
Axis policy and made open predic-
tions that Axis ambitions were di-
rected toward the Near East.
Reports that Anthony Eden, Brit
is war secretary, might visit Istan-
bull gained ground. The official
Turkish radio had denied that Eden
would visit Ankara, Turkeys cap
ital, but some observers in Turkey
believed it possible the war secre-
tary might talk with British diplo-
mats in this sector on a British
Balkan program"
All southeastern European coun-
tries watched eagerly for signs
clarifying Soviet Russian policy in
this area as a guide to the fu-
ture. !

Italy's mission to train" Greek
and Yugoslav troops may also have
been decided upon in that talk.
The press featured Italian re-
ports indicating increased axis pres
sure on Greece and Yugoslavia to
support that suggestion.
Reports from Rome were pub
lished here without denial that An
thony Eden, British secretary for
war and former foreign minister is
planning a trip to Turkey where
British diplomats from the Balkans
are engaged in conferences which
it is reported will consider means
of checkmating the axis.
The official Ankara radio Satur-
day denied q. report that Eden was
going to the Turkish capital and
indicated that no talks were plan
ned between Eden and the Turkish
government.
The report today led informed
sources to consider it likely Eden
would confer with the British dip
lomats, without the Turkish gov
ernment, however, being drawn into
the discussions.
Although it was reported the
British were particularly concern
ed with Bulgaria and possible axis
attempts to use that Balkan king
dom as stepping stone in theil
next move, neither Sir Huge Knatch
bull-Hugessen, the ambassador
to Turkey, nor George Rendel, the
minister to Bulgaria, had any com
ment to make on their talks.

LONDON BOMBED

LONDON, Oct. 81 (Monday). - Up,
-Nazi airmen attacking singly to
take advantage of low-lying clouds
dronped tons upon tons of bombs on
London, England and south Wales
last night and early today while
britain retaliated by hurting an esti-
mated 10000 bombs on the invasion
coast of France.
Reports from London and the prov
;nces at midnight showed that the
canital and it's surrounding counties
still had taken the brunt of the
7uftwaffe's regular night attack. It
WAS the 44th dusk-to-dawn raid on
the metropolis.
Main Targets
Elsewhere, the main NaZi targets
appeared to be southwest England,
the Liverpool area, the important
midlands and south Wales.
springing to the attack with the
coming of night, the Royal Air
noints across the English channel.
The British Press association esti-
mated that 10000 bombs wer e
dropped in that assault raining
down at the rate of 100 every min
ute.
During the crisp Indian summer
afternoon, British and German guns
Numbered in a duel for two hours.
One man was reported killed and two
seriously injured at Dover, where
a German shell wrecked a church,
another hit a hotel, a third landed
in a bomb crater.
The Germans caused five daylight
alarms in London before beginning
their night attack.
Because of the weather, they gave
up massed formations for the single
raider style.
Despite the shower of bombs on
Britain, observers in London said
that the raid might be described as
comparatively Eight"
Early arrivals showered down in
cendiaries in an effort to direct the
later planes but most of the fires
were put out within a short time.
Nevertheless, the new series OF
raiders coming in a steady stream
loosed high explosive bombs.
One would fly fairly high above the
clouds-another would drop low te
unleash the lethal cargoes.
They flew in groups until they
reachde the areas around London
and then split up into single units
London obviously was their primary
target.

81, ,094 tons, "a little more than

Intensiication of the air war
against Britain also was Indicated:
DNB, official news agency, said
500 tons of bombs had been drop
ped on England in the last "a hours.
German f1iers were able to drop
their bombs unhindered," said the
agency, '.as the result of except
ionally clear visibility and notice
ably weaker anti-aircraft and pur-
suit plane defense.
Enthusiasm over their success
was so great among individual
crews that, as in the Polish cam
paign, they repeatedly returned to
their bases for new and bigger
bomb loads in order to complete
the work of destruction"
The communique also said much
damage was done in yesterdays S
attacks.

forces as well as ships to the Mid
die East, and it is logical to be-
ieve that some already have been
transferred.
Many Troops Ready
In addition to the home guards
which Sir Edward Grigg, under
secretary of war, reported now
number 1,700,0 England has had
ready for defense almost as many
regulars and territorials since the
evacuation of the expeditionary
force from the continent.
Naval forces have been shifted
repeatedly since the war started,
particularly between home waters
and Gibraltar. Now some of those
which sped back to Britain when
invasion appeared imminent have
been freed to guard another threat
ened front.
All such movements are
screened by wartime secrecy but
it is an open secret that the time is
far in the future when Britain will
be able to provide the tanks and
planes and other equipment need
ed for a force to cope adequately
with the Axis threat to the empire
lifeline.
None of the 1000 or so 25-ton
tanks to be made in American fac
tories can be delivered before next
summer. Not until spring are
American plants scheduled to
double the present output of about
$50 warplanes for the Raj.
1t is upon these and the huge
purchases of other munitions in
this country that British leaders
are relying for a margin of even
tual victory.
Double Burden
Meantime, as Britain carries on
a desperate struggle which Prime
Minister Winston Churchill termed
fight for survival just now, the
Royal Navy must carry a double
burden which promises to become
increasingly heavy.
The hit and run scraps in British
home waters in the last few days
are type of sea warfare which
appears likely to continue for
months to come. Reports thus far
attest that intrepid tars are living
up to their traditions in dealing
with a foe who possesses many
advantages although not able to
challenge directly for mastery of
the seas.
That German destroyers are able
to operate in the nearby Atlantic
from the French outpost
1t was disclosed by the conflict
ing reports of the clash with Brit
ish light naval forces in the past
week.
Brest has been heavily bombed
from the air, as have Dutch havens
for Nazi sea raiders. Both Cher
bourg and Dunkirk h ave been
shelled from the sea to make them
untenable while the R. A. F.. has
sent squadrons of bombers against
Hamburg and other German ports
where new Nazi warships are be-
ing rushed to completion.
But at best, grim winter lies
ahead for weakened British sea
forces keeping open the lanes to
the home ports. Their convoy diff
ficulties would have been all but
insuperable but for the acquisition
OF so destroyers from this coun-
try. ]
