BY WILLIAM H. MCGAFFIN

LONDON, Aug. 25.-CSunday)-
R-"I hope to hell Berlin is blaz'
ing now" cried a spectator early
today as firemen battled a great
blaze started by a German incendi-
airy bomb.
That's right, they better get
something for this" another
watcher replied.
"Yep, this wars getting seri-
ous," agreed a third.
1T looks like indiscriminate
bombing to me-" said another.
1 was just coming out of a west
end restaurant when a German
bomb whistled down and exploded.
Fire flared up not far from me
almost Immediately.
This midnight bombing, from a
moonlit sky, was the first direct
attack on London since the war
began, but was the third on great
er London in less than a day.
(These references to the west
end and to London proper were the
only inklings of the raids location
which escaped the British censor's
ban.) !

Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
,soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you bottle of CreomulSion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
hitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)

COURTS:
On,nipotert NLRB

Earlier this winter the U. S. Su-
preme court opined that the Wagner
labor acts chief trouble was not in
it's administration by NLRB, but
rather in the excessively broad
scope of power delegated by con-
gress to NLRB. This month, with
out saying as much, the high court
intimated again that something
ought to be done.
Reviewed was a circuit court OF
appeals decision which reversed an
NLRB ruling. Case involved the
Waterman Steamship company, and
was the outgrowth of A. F. of L.
C. I. o. friction. 1t was the old story
of company favoritism toward A. F.
of L. and NLRB favoritism toward
C. /. O., but that was beside the
point.
The Supreme court ruled that fed
eral courts have no right to substi-
tute their own judgment for that of
NLRB, decision which left NLRB
so powerful that congress will prob.
ably be Jared into clipping NLRB's
wings.

AGRICULTURE:
Tobacco Ban?

Sorely hurt were American tobac-
co farmers when Great Britain
slapped ban on imports Of U. S.
leaf. Reasons: ~ Britain needed
her ships cargo space for war sup
plies; (2) Britain was wooing Tur-
key, which also had tobacco for
sale.
After several weeks of negotia-
tons, Secretary of Commerce Harry
Hopkins announced he thought the
ban would soon be lifted. Britain's
action was no violation Of the recip-
rocal trade treaty, it was decided,
therefore no protest was possible
on these grounds. But Mr.. Hopkins
figured the British government had
to do something to halt the declining
revenues from import duties, and to
replenish declining stocks in British
warehouses.
Whether this announcement was
based on wishful thinking or actual
negotiations, no one but Mr.. Hop
kins could tell. But observers won
dered how Britain could be expected
to turn against Turkey at this stage
Of the diplomatic game.

INTERNATIONAL:
Mounting Trouble

New war threats were spreading
fast the day Franklin Roosevelt act
ed. The situation was especially ex-
plosive in the Balkans and the Near
East. Turkey had seized the Ger
man-owned Krupp shipyards at
Istanbul harbor (see photo above).
ousted more than 100 Nazis and an
nounced sabotage plot against the
Turkish navy had been nipped.
Russia fortified her Turkish border,
fearing a thrust against her oil re-
sources. Greece's Premier John
Metaxas warned solennly that his
nation was being drawn into wars
meshes, making particular refer
ence to the British-F'rench troop con-
centrations along Russia's near
eastern frontier.
(About 100000 colonial British troops
from Ne,o Zealand and Australia, origi-
nGILy bound for the western front, tUere
dropped instead at Sues and dispersed to
near eastern posts
There seemed a general direction
to this agitation. Even Italy, long
an enemy of Turkey, was reported
framing trade pact with Istanbul,
drawing Rome closer to Turkeys
friends, France and Britain. Italy
is already close to the Balkan en-
tente, which over the weekend had
wooed and won Bulgaria away from
Russian influence. It all meant that
southeastern Europe and the Near
East were being modified either (1)

CONGRESS-:
NeaU Taxes?

Forwarded to the President was
the first evidence of congress re-
bellion, an emergency national de-
tense bill from which had been
Topped about $40, 1000, 900. OF six ap-
preparations measures handled thus
far, a total of $3.50, 000, 900 had been
cut, the latest being 500, 1000, 900
item from the billion-dollar naval
expansion program.
But it was the same old story of
house slashes and senate restora-
tons. The independent offices bill
was passed by the senate after re-
storing $39, $780, of the approx
mate sos, 100000 deducted by the
house. Meanwhile agitation grew
for senate additions to the farm bill,
from which the house had cut $685.
100000. Not only did the farm bloc
want this money restored; it also
wanted $500, 100000 for parity pay
ments, an item from which the
President has kept hands off. If
these tactics continue, leaders see
little hope Of avoiding the $3.50, 000,-
600 tax levy which will be necessary
if the national debt limit is not to be
raised.
Also in congress:
q The reciprocal trade treaty act
was approved for continuation by
the house ways and means commit
tee. If passed, it would let the adj
ministration retain the right to
make trade pacts without congress
sional consent.
q. The senate foreign relations COM
mittee, still working on bill to aid
Finland by boosting the Export-Im-
port bank working capital, planned
to pigeon-hole proposals for an eco
nomic embargo against Japan. Since
China would also get a loan if the
Export-Import bill were adopted, ia
pan would be slapped anyway. Sem
timent also grew for the proposal
to let Finland purchase military sup
plies with the money she has paid
on her war debt. Meanwhile, Ne
braska's Sen. George w. Norris
asked the nation to impose moral"
embargoes on Japan and Russia.

POLITICS:
C.. O. p. Up Front

Having named Chicago as their
convention site, Democrats took
back seat to the Republicans in mid
February, the G. o. p. launching
its attack with a coast-to-coast Sc
ries Of Lincoln day speeches. Mean
while Washington hummed with &C
tivity as the Republican national
committee met to choose its con-
vention site, chances being 100 to ]
that Chicago would get the bid.
Possible convention dates: G. o. p,
June Is; Democrats, July 2, pro-
viding a rousing July Fourth cele-
bration which might end in Frank
lin Roosevelt's denomination.

YOUTH:
Pinkish Congress

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, its
best friend, was in the audience
when the American Youth Congress
opened its convention in Washing
ton. AS the congress made news,
so did Eleanor Roosevelt. First
shock came when the convention
elected the First Lady's first cousin,
young Archibald Roosevelt Jr., when
he attempted to introduce resolu-
ton condemning Russia's invasion
Of Finland.
This gave credence to the COM
mon belief that the congress is pink
ish, but Mrs. Roosevelt will not be-
lieve it. Said she of her first cousin:
81 think it is peculiar to get up in q
meeting with an arranged program
and say, I want to speak, "
Next day the Roosevelts began q
two-day campaign to straighten out
their young friends. The President
