HOME GUARD PLAN
URGED BY S0L0NS
Home Defense Force May
Replace National Guards
men Called To Duty

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-UP-A
"home Defense force to replace Ma
tional Guardsmen called into federal
training was urged today by some
members of the senate military COM
mittee.
Chairman Sheppard (D-Tex) said
chief executives of several states,
including Governors Herbert H. Leh-
man of New York and w. Lee
ODaniel of Texas, had asked the
military committee to authorize state
defense units.
L believe we will be able to agree
upon something at this session"
Sheppard said.
Similar views were expressed by
members of the house military com.
mittee.
1t was indicated that the necessary
legislation would be handled sep.
arately, rather than as an amend
ment to the Burke-Wadsworth com
pulsory training bill. Leaders said
they did not want to burden the
training measure with any additional
provisions, if it could be avoided.
Considerable favor was manifested,
however, for an amendment drafted
by Rep. Smith (D-Conn) which
would permit employers, if they de
sired, to continue paying salaries to
their employees who were drafted for
training.
Smith said he understood that
some employers had offered to make
up the difference between army pay
- to be raised from $21 to $50
monthly in the consumption bill -
and trainees' wages at the time they
are called.
Present law forbids members Of
the military establishment to receive
remuneration from private concerns
This law was designed especially te
prevent military men connected with
army purchasing from drawing any
gratuities from companies doing
business with the army.
In the form approved by the
house military committee, the Burke
Wadsworth bill would require the
registration for possible service o.
men from Fl to A years old, in.
elusive. The senate voted to re.
quire registration only Of men 81 tt
30, inclusive.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-(Monday)-
Alderman warplanes swarmine
up the Thames Estuary penetrated
as far as Croydon, London's great
airport, in a series of savage Sum-
day assaults, the British air mini
stry and ministry of home security
acknowledged today.
The object of raids on the south
east of England may have been
to attack our airdromes in this
area, but only very slight damage
was DONE" said the communique.
Results of Fighting
Results of the Sabbath air fight
ing were tailed by the ministries
with the statement that Is enemy
aircraft were destroyed, with Is
British planes lost, though tn e
pilots of nine of the British planes
we're saved.
The first raid was in two waves
and although our fighters inter
copied and broke up the enemy
formations, a few of his bombers
penetrated as far as Croydon" the
communique said.
THE second wave was turned
back by our fighters and anti
aircraft defenses and did not pene-
trate beyond the coast. During this
raid bombs were dropped in Kent
and Surrey, causing some damage
and a number of casualties, in.
Guiding some persons killed.

Plane That Carried Is tt Death Struck
Ground With Engine Throttles Open

J. H. slim" Carmichael, vice.
president of Pennsylvania Central
and a former pilot on the same
route, said apparently both engines
were wide open', but he would
not estimate the sped of the plane
when it crashed a few minutes
after leaving Washington en- route
to Pittsburgh.
. There was no indication of an
explosion before the plane hit, he
said, and the distance some por.
tons of the bodies and debris were
thrown might have been due to
impact velocity alone. The
mangled bodies welre scattered
over a 25-acre area.

The sea war appeared likely to
break out again in the south Allan
tic, where the British merchant
cruiser Carnarvon Castle damaged
in battle with German sea raid
err was putting in at Montevideo
with dead and wounded. The Brit
lsh navy was attempting to close

Following destruction of the NaZi

Uruguay early in the war, other
similar warships had been reported
