Danaher Charges Group
Is Pushing u. 5. Into War
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Danaher, Republican, OF
Connecticut wrote the Committee
to Defend America by Aiding the
Allies yesterday that the organiza-
tion's propaganda and your efforts
may fairly be interpreted as seek
ing to involve the United States in
war"
In an open letter to Charles A.
Levin, secretary of the committee,
the Connecticut Senator said:
1T is unthinkable that the United
States should enter that war, but if
we do. it will be on account of the
propaganda and the efforts of those
who are more interested to aid
Britain than to deal with the prob
lem in the light of the national in
terests of the United States.
Il would not write in this vein to
expose the trend you are develop
ing were it not for the fact that
your organization is frankly and
avowedly a mechanism for propa-
ganda ."
Mr. Levin had written Senator
Danaher, expressing opposition to
the Senator's views on foreign pol
icy.
Senator Danaher said that the
committee was organized by
wealthy New York lawyers and in
ternational bankers, all of whom
represented to greater or less degree
interests having connections both
in Great Britain and France"

Hardened to the surprise attacks,
men, women and children moved to
shelter without panic.
A small factory was hit squarely.
Some houses were damaged when
one bomb dug a crater in a street
of the suburb. One witness said
eight bombs fell In that neighbor-
hood.
A big air fight was reported also
over Southeastern England, where
British fighters intercepted other
