British Claim Repu|se
OF Italian Assaults
In Drive for Berberd
Jueoreon Pass Forces,
IS Miles From Capital,
Are Declared Holding

By tine Associated Press.
CAIRO, Aug. ia general Italian
attack on British positions covering
Jugargan Pass in British Somaliland
was repelled Sunday, the British
command here reported today.
Juguran Pass is IS miles south
southeast of Berbera, capital and
principal port of British Somaliland,
toward which Italian columns have
been driving across burning wastes
since their capture last week of
Hargeisa and Oadweina.
Its communique said:
Reports are now received of
general attack on our positions
covering Jugargan Pass on August
II. In spite of intensive support by
low-fying aircraft, the attackers
were broken up and repulsed by our
artillery and small arms fire.
I'm one place, the enemy obtained
a small local advantage, but were
Immediately counter attacked. One
large enemy bomber was brought
down by infantry fire.
"On other fronts, nothing to re-
port"
Reports of Italian troop concentra-
tions along the Libyan-Egyptian
border drew from the press today
warning that Egypt would throw all
her resources into the fight beside
Britain if she were attacked
IF the Italians march on Egypt
they will clash with British forces
camped along the western frontier
as well as Egyptian forces. for it is
natural that Egypt must defend
herself against INVASION" the news
paper Albalagh said.
The same paper expressed the
opinion that the Italian attack may
be expected during the latter two
weeks of August or early September
when the heat is more bearable and
their preparations are completed"
The newspaper discounted the
italian drive into British Somali-
land and predicted the decisive bat
ties of the war in Africa would be
fought along the Libyan-Egyptian
border.
Egypt's large Italian population,
estimated at 10000, felt growing ap-
prehension, fearing long internment
in the event of an Italian attack
upon this country.
Thus far, although the British
have imprisoned several thousand
Italians suspected of fifth column
activities and many have been dis
charged from utilities and other
| concerns, most of the Italians enjoy
comparative liberty.

agency, asserted that German and
Italian planes were methodically

English airplane factories have
intensified production. the agency
said, but the Royal Air Force lacks
trained pilots.
Waves of heavy italian bombers
smashed intermittently at Malta
for four hours last night, Stefani
said, after scouting planes had sur
veyed and photographed the island
base during the day.
Defenses Concentrated.
The scouts reported that the Brit
ish had moved all their powerful
searchlights into the zones Of VAL
letta and Marsa Scirocco, where
they also massed anti-aircraft bat
teries in order to concentrate their
fire on italian raiders.
The raiders were aided by MOON
light, and attacked the island at
frequent intervals between $50 pm.
and 1890 am, dropping heavy and
medium caliber explosive bombs as
well as high-powered incendiary
bombs.
The bombers operated at alti-
tudes slightly over 5000 feet. Pilots
said they saw flames shooting from
an arsenal and noted the destruc-
ton of storage sheds.

The four were held without

studied numerous union records
seized during the raids for light on
the organizations activities.
Mayor Edward J. Kelly and
States Attorney Thomas J. Court
ney met last week with a group of
civic leaders to discuss methods of
preventing racketeers and gansters
from influencing or controlling
unions.
Capt. Howe said Police Commits
sioner James Altman was deter
mined that if unions haven't de-
cent, law-abiding men as their
officers we'll give them an oppor-
tunity to elect new officers."
The police captain, sketching the
background of the problem, said:
"A combination of gangsters
muscled their way into labor unions
Immediately after the old Capone
syndicate lost its main source OF
revenue when prohibition was re-
pealed.
These racketeers not only
muscled in on labor unions. but
also put the muscle on employers

Of Acceptance Address

~ the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 25.--
Wendell L. Willkie wound up Z series
Of Utah appearances today with Z
statement that he frankly had come
here for votes and that he had en-
joyed seeking them.
In response to q question, Mr..
Willkie said that he liked to be with
people. He saw thousands Of them
during his trip from his Colorado
Springs, Colo, hotel to Cheyenne
Wyo.; Salt Lake City and Ogden,
Utah.
The Republican presidential nom.
lnee arranged to return to Colorado
Springs today and renew work
there on his acceptance address to
be delivered at Elwood, Ind, August
II.
Attends Rodeo.
Mr.. Willkie. accompanied by Mrs.
Wnlke, drove last night to- the
Ogden rodeo. He received tumult-
Gus cheers as he drove over the
grounds before the, performance
started.
Both Mrs. Willkie and l." the
nominee said, ''are grateful for the
cordial, spontaneous and overwhelm-
Ing welcome we have received in
this Western country.
I'VE realize especially being here
how precious is the American way
OF life. I will do all can, now and
the rest Of my life, to preserve the
American way"
Mr.. Willkie had said earlier and
repeated later that he had wanted
to come to Utah to see the Pioneer
Day celebration in Salt Lake City
and the rodeo in Ogden, but that
he had another purpose-that OF
gathering votes.
The candidate said he would
take week off" next week to work
privately on his acceptance address.
He was expected to move to some
mountain lodge near his Colorado
Springs hotel.
Mr.. Willkie sat with Mrs. Will
kie in an unshaded reviewing stand
at Salt Lake City yesterday and ap-
plauded as tWo-hour parade
moved past Those in his COM
pany were exhausted by the 95-
degree heat. but Mr.. Willkie told
reporters he was feeling fine. He
spent another hour shaking hands
with q line of well-wishers in his
hotel.
Democracy Declared at Test.
The nominee made brief trip
to the Salt Lake City rodeo and said
In an address that "the Democratic
way OF life is in test throughput
the world"
Thoughtful people are disturbed"
he continued. But, when we re-
member that, in a similar period 90
years ago, your ancestors came to
this area and made a civilization,
know we can believe that the
American way of life is going to
come through this time. It is going
to come through in all its f1neness
and al its pleasantness."
Before going to the rodeo Mr..
and Mrs. Willkie visited Heber j.
Grant. aged president of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
VINO wished him success in his cam
paign.
AS the visitors left the church Of
fees Mr.. Grant smilingly told the
nominee. "1'll see that you're
