LONDON. Sept. ls.-Terrific
raids again descended upon this
city last night as the Nazis ap-
peared in a hurry TO destroy
what is left of the English capi-
tai. and most of il is left. before
British defenses against air at
tacks are more perfected.
New protection devices are be-
ing tried out, il was announced
by the British, which may act to
cut down the danger of future
attacks, and the NaziS apparently
have news of this as they put
on steam in their day and night
attacks.
! Ninety persons were reported
killed in the raids last night and
many hundreds injured. Numer-
Gus public buildings were bomb
ed to complete destruction and
! the usual number of homes in
widely scattered areas collapsed
from demolition bomb-fire or
from resultant fires.
Forty-eight German planes
were dOWned in the last twenty
four hours, according to the Brit
ish, although Nazi dispatches
listed only IL planes lost. The
British admitted an even dozen
aircraft downed with pilots and
crew of four saved. Nazi re-
ports listed 35 English planes de-
stroyed.
German dispatches stated to-
day that retaliatory raids will be
started soon - multiplying a
thouSand-fold the present pace.
Nazis expressed extreme anger at
British air action which destroy
ed three hospitals in the Ruhr in
dustrial area
Royal Air Force attacks have
increased their pace, too. it was
reported by the British and con-
firming reports came through
from the Nazi high command.
Twelve British planes were re-
ported to have been shot down
by anti-aircraft batteries in Ger
many. Signifying that the scope
of British attack has greatly en-
larged.
The Duke of Kent, brother of
King George, narrowly escaped
injury and possible death last
night when a time bomb ex-
ploded near his automobile when
he and his wife were travelling
to their home
Censorship of newspapers and
radio was clamped on tighter by
the British today when it was
announced that no further news
of when afraid alarms were
turned on and off would be given
out This news. the British now
think, was being used by the
NaziS to some advantage.
Rome admitted today, in dis
patches telling of the war on the

The body of Max David Steuer, SO

yer, was to be sent to New York
City today for services to Emmanuel

A poor Austrian immigrant boy to

In Families On
Relief In City
90 Less in July, Accord
ing to Supt. Hayden's
Report

A decrease of SO in the
number of families receiving
relief was registered in July,
Superintendent of Welfare
Martin F. Hayden stated in
his monthly report today.
Improved industrial condi-
tons, with consequent
greater factory employment,
are credited with the de-
crease. There were 825 FAM
lilies receiving full or partial
relief in July. This compares with
total of 923 receiving aid of either
type in June.
There were 1877 institutional cases
listed on the welfare department
records last month, bringing the full
total of family cases to 1,022.
With more than eight and half
months of the year passed, Super
intendent Hayden still manages to
keep the welfare department. operat-
ing well within its budget. Unless
there are unforeseen demands, the
department. has an excellent chance
of ending the year with q surplus.
In previous recent years the de part
ment has found itself with sizeable
deficits, that had to be made up with
transfers of funds from other city
courses.

Continued from Page y
to be waiting on Mr.. Roosevelt's
desk for his return from Hyde Park.
Completion of negotiations for
lease of air and naval bases in Brit
ish-and perhaps Dutch and French
possessions along the Atlantic
seaboard from Newfoundland to
South America, was presumed next
on the list of presidential business.
London advised that only details
remained to be worked out. Bases in
Trinidad, close to the Panama
Canal, and Newfoundland, at the
head of the North. Atlantic ship
ping routes, were deemed to be
those the administration wants.
May Be Linked
Although official confirmation was
lacking, there were continued indi-
cations that the transfer of Amer
lean destroyers to Britain was
somehow bound up with the leasing
of bases and American-Ca
plans.
Four cabinet officers and the SER
vice chiefs of the army and navy
talked long and earnestly yesterday
about what Attorney General Rob-
ert H. Jackson termed the legal
questions involving in acquiring
bases in British possessions. A JUS
tice department spokesman said the
discussions also covered the matter
of whether the United States should
sell or otherwise transfer to Bril-
tain destroyers to fill gaps blasted
in her navy by German bombs and
torpedoes, and, if so, how.
1t was reported that the justice
department was preparing an
opinion on the destroyer question
for submission today to Mr.. Roose-
welt and Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox.
Seldom in recent years has mat
ter been surrounded with such Sc
crecy as is the administrations in
tention with regard to the destroyer
question.
Who Has Authority?
Only one thing Is certain: That
there will be even more heated ar
gument. Some say only congress
can authorize such a deal; others
contend the justice department has
found an indirect way by whihc the
destroyers can be transferred. Some
are prepared to carry the issue into
congress II 1t Is necessary to get
the destroyers for Britain: others

LOCAL GUARDS
TO BREAK CAMP
Due Home Saturday A. M;
Maneuvers End One
Day Earlier

Waterbury's contingent Of Ma
tional Guardsmen will return to
this city Saturday morning at 11:2O
a. M, weary after their strenuous
maneuvers in the Ogdensburg war
games. Beset first by extreme heat,
as well as mosquitoes and pests, and
now by the unreasonable cold, the
guardsmen have had more than just
a hypothetical enemy to fight in the
weeks of the maneuvers.
Lieutenant General Hugh H.
Drum and his staff decided to bring
the maneuvers to an end day ear
lier than had been planned, be-
cause of the fact that the defend
ing Blue army had advanced so far
that it would have been difficult
for the men to get back to camp,
and then home on schedule, If they
had been allowed to continue an
other twenty-four hours. The fact
that many Of the men had spent
the last two nights slepeing in the
open on cold, wet ground was also
considered in calling an early halt.
The Connecticut troops will leave
for home in six different install
ments on Friday. The local men,
bers of the 102d Infantry will leave
camp at $50 p. m, and arrive in
Waterbury on Saturday morning,
after travelling all night.

The Colonial Trust Co. claims

ton, through a mortgage for $345

mortgage is subsequent and subordi-
nate to its own.

ages, foreclosure of the mortgage

que.
