Labor. youth. old age. Negro and

Democrats 90 net submit to his die
tation as to policy has the sound OF!
seriousness and determination. and
is typical Of the Lewis attitude. For
wears he has chosen to ignore The
rights or the welfare OF any groups
or individuals except those FOR which
he speaks.
If Lewis has presidential ambi-
tons. as has been attributed to him,
it would be easy for him to make
impossible demands that would not
be accepted. and then strike out in
his own behalf on the ground that
the government was stacked against
labor. the farmer. the Negro and the
youth of the country.
Everywhere the power OF tbs
labor leader is recognized as being
effective in varying degree. And i
he could weld into solid unit all
the forces for which ne essays to
speak. doubtless he would be able
to carry his point, but that is a2ou;
as unlikely as his demands are in-
possible.
To listen to Nh Lewis, one
would suppose it is no concern OF
his whether OF not the national re-
sources are capable OF stretching to
limitless bounds of IaroritiSm to-
ward one class and against another.
There is a limit to these as well DIS
to his own power Of leadership.
What a third party ultimately
would achieve no one can say, but
i is not probable that it would win
national election after Il start OF
only d few short months. Moreover,

claring that aerial "spotting" would
be necessary for accurate firing at
such a distance.
1t is only % miles from Calais,
German-held port on the Conti-
nent, to Dover, Southeast English
port, and many guns can shoot that
distance. The Germans have
claimed to possess weapons capable
of shooting five times the distance.
Long-range, oss-Channel bonn
bardment has been considered a
definite possibility ever since the
Germans first envisioned attack on
Britain. Their famed long-range

lief Act of 1918, which was never
disputed in the Supreme Court.
The 1918 act was appended to the
National Guard bill, which was
passed by the Senate last Thurs
day. The amendment, however, elm
mated portion which would permit
the Veterans Administration to
pay life insurance premiums dur
ing the year of service.
Before the Senate is a proposal by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
for a system of voluntary military
training which after the first year
would be limited to high school and
college graduates under IS years of
age. The plan was proposed by
Senator Taft as an alternative to the
Burke e-Wadsworth bill.
Senator Taft said the substitute
plan would create a special but
permanent system of training
which was designed to build up
and maintain a reserve of 1,500.-
600 men who will have had at
least one year of military service.
1t provided that during the first year
men between the ages of 18 and
IS would be recruited as volunteers
| after an intensive campaign.
This would not disturb schooling
or jobs. he said. High school and
college students would be encouraged
to take three to four year military
courses at schools.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the
Democratic leader, voiced opposi-
ton, however. to any substitute or
compromise which would delay the
start of a conscription program.
The bill authorizing President
Roosevelt to order out the National
Guard and Reserves advanced an
other step toward enactment last
night with its approval by the
House Military Affairs Committee.
The committee. however, eliminated
section of the job-security provi-
sion. approved by the Senate,
which would have made it an un-
fair labor practice. as defined in
the National Labor Relations Act,
for employers to refuse reinstate-
ment OF soldiers to their original
jobs.
The committee retained the basic
principle that men taken away from
their positions should be restored to
their jobs or others of like senior
ity status"
Federal employees must. however,
be restored to their original posi-
tions "or to position of like SEN
iority status and pay"
The committee broadened ex-
emptions from service of guards
men and reservistS to permit those
with any manner of dependents to
resign within 20 days after enact
ment of the authorization. The
Senate provision applied only to
those with wife and children de-
pendent upon his salary.

A SOUTHEAST COAST TOWN,
England, Aug. II delayed by Gen.
SoD Shells were reported today to
have fallen on the Southeast Coast
of England, but there was no off,
cial announcement or confirmation.
Reports came from a coastal town
that shells were falling there.
Two persons were killed and eight
wounded here. Houses in several
residential districts of one south
east coast town were damaged
shortly before midday.
Although it was at first thought
an enemy bomber was over the
town, it later was considered pos
sible that the heavy explosions were
caused by gunfire.
An investigation was started at
once by the authorities.
1t was not established officially
that long-range shelling from across
the Channel had begun.
Householders were unanimous in
their belief that the damage was
caused by shells. One advanced the
possibility that large fragments
came from shells which might have
been dropped from German planes
rather than fired from cross-chan-
mel guns.
The casualties occurred while the
raid was not officially in progress.
The two killed were a man and
woman who were walking along
narrow street when a shell or bomb
struck nearby.
Authorities said today there was
mo confirmation at ALL that the
heavy explosions were from shell
fire.
0n Switzerland, however, uncon-
flrmed reports were current among
foreign military observers that Ger
man guns at Calais and Dunkerque,
capable of firing 40 miles, may al
ready have begun laying down a
barrage behind Dover in prepara-
ton for an expected direct aSsault)
Examination of the spots where
the missiles fell showed they landed
from the south. Some said they
might have been 8-inch projectiles
fired from the Calais (Nazi-held
French coast by long-range guns.

craft were circling.
Spent ammunition cases were
falling to the ground in all direc-
tions.
Eight Junkers bombers suddenly
appeared out of the clouds pursued
by British Spitfires. One bomber
was reported brought down in this
area-the first British bag" of the
morning.
Another plane was accounted for
short time later-a bomber shot
down in flames of a southeast
coastal town.
In one raid about so German
bOmbers flew over a Southeast coast
town dropping 10 high-explosive
bombs and number of incendiaries
in a straight line across the COM
munity. Four houses, a public hall
and bus station we're demolished
and number of other houses were
severely damaged.
One Messerschmitt was brought
down in battle in the Southeast
and three others were believed to
have crashed into the sea. OBJ
servers said they saw several flyers
bailing out and parachuting down
over the countryside.

5000 Mechanics Sought
To Speed Arsenal Work

By tht Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-The
Government hung out a "help
wanted" sign today and relaxed age
and experience requirements in a
search for mechanics to speed
operations at the huge Frankford
Arsenal.
Throughout the Third United
States Civil Service District the
Government advertised for 5000
skilled workers. 1t boosted the age
limit from 55 to 81 years and stipu-
lated that applicants need only have
had two years of apprenticeship in
stead Of the usual four years. Until
recently the age ceiling for new en-
ployes had been so.
Col. James Kirk, assistant to the
commandant, said only few of the
arsenal's departments have gone on
the three shifts day ordered re-
Gently by Secretary of War Stimson.
To get on the 24-hour basis, Col.
Kirk said:
I'VE need the men. We are going
to try to obey the Secretary's order
just as soon as we can possibly
do it."

Channel Mastery Claimed.
Three days Of concentrated assault

the English Channel, made the sea
itself uncomfortably hot for the
British Navy and paved the way for
wider attacks from which mot even
London will be safe, Nazis declared
Only adverse weather conditions,
these sources asserted, can prevent
continuation on an increasingly
grand scale of maSSed aerial raids,
which we're begun last Thursday
and repeated Sunday and Monday
in an apparently systematic attempt
to soften" UP England's south coast.
In those three days, the Germans
said, 231 British planes were de-
stroyed-either in the air or on the
ground-while only 81 of their own
aircraft failed to return safely.
