Preliminary examination indicated
that the powder was harmless but
it was handed over to experts for
careful lchemical analysis.
It was believed that the powder,
a sulphuric compound, it developed,
was used to cause propaganda leaf

air after they had been dropped by
planes.

activities of German planes said:
Bombs were dropped on various
parts Of Great Britain last night by
isolated enemy aircraft, but apart
from broken windows little damage
was reported except at one town in
northeast England where a sana-
torium and shop property suffered
considerably.
"In one part Of North England
leaflets were dropped.
Casualties were very few and the
only serious injuries were to some
women who were walking along a
country road"
The leaflets mentioned were
those containing extracts from Adolf
Hitler's surrender or die" speech.

and the Indian Ocean.
The coastline cannot be used for
supplies because Of the British
fleets command of the shore. The
internal land boundaries are block
AIDED by British Kenyan and the
Sudan. If the war were to continue
for another year, Italian supplies in
the region would be seriously dimin-
ished with no possible way Of re-
plenishing them unless the Italians
were able to move northward
through Sudan and Egypt, in a uni
fed drive toward Egypt by the Ital-
ian troops in Libya on the Mediter-
ranean coast.
That Is Intended
It is reported from Rome that the
Italians have this intention. Such an
enterprise, however, would require
a vast assembly Of troops and
equipment and would necessitate
military direction of the highest Or
der. It is difficult to see how the
Italians alone would be able to exc
cute a double spearhead thrust
against Egypt Of this character.
German assistance could be lent
to an offensive from Libya but no
German reinforcements could reach
the Abyssinian-S omaliland territory
except by an air journey Of some
$500 miles, which would be impos-
sible for effective help. It is Ques-
tionable whether the Germans
would agree to assist the Italians in
north Africa because OF the serious
difiiculty Of transport.
The British fleet in the Mediter-
ranean constitutes q threat to lines
Of communication from Europe and
Is already interfering with the trans
port Of Italian supplies. A German
army with the requisite heavy
equipment would require o great
feet Of transport to get to Africa. 1t
would suffer heavy casualties In the
crossing from British naval attack,
and only urgent necessity would
cause the Germans to accept this
risk.
It seems probable. therefore. that
Italy will be left to her own re-
sources In any major African CAM
paign. The success In British SOM
aliland may develop IN italian APP

tant operations. but Mussolini is Q

Invited to Confer.

London, Aug. 8.-(UP-)Lord Lin
lithgow, viceroy Of India, has invited
prominent Indians, including con-
greSs members and MoSlems, to join
the viceroy's council, 1t was reported
today reliably. The move, British
circles said, was a step toward self
government for India.
India comprises all the Indian
peninsula directly or indirectly UNI
der British rule or protection. Agi-
tation for independence and for
dominion status has long been car
ried on by various Indian groups,
including the great nationalist par
ty movement headed by the Mahat-
ma Gandhi.
The present form of government
was established by parliament In
1885. 1t provided for establishment
of federation consisting of the
governors of the provinces, the chief
commissioners of provinces and such
Indian states as acceded to the act.
An Indian legislature has been IN
operation since 1921 to make laws
for all persons in India, with GER
tain restrictions. The governor
general conducts foreign affairs and
the political department and de-
Tense measures are under British
control.

It was before this port that Lon
don sources believed the British East
African armies were concentrating
In the hills TO make stand against
three Italian columns, which already
had taken the port of leila and two
other bases in the frontier desert
land.
The italian mechanical forces were
reported from Rome to have adj
vanced rapidly across the desert
lands Of Somaliland, led by airplanes
and tanks, and to be within striking
distance of Berbera, which is the
most important British port in that
area.
The British indicated that they
had been able to make only slight
defense of the desert country and no
defense of leila because the French
surrender had collapsed previous
plans for East African operations.
The plans of Germany and Italy
for early and peaceful solution of
territorial problems in the Balkans
appeared to be encountering some
difficulties, although it was still
uncertain whether they would be of
q serious nature.
Reports at Bucharest were that
Bulgaria was demanding return Of
an area greater than South Do
brudja, which the Rumanian gov
eminent would be expected to oppose.
The departure of Grigfiore Gafencu
from Bucharest for Moscow. aroused
speculation on whether Rumania
would seek Soviet support in resist
ing any increased demands from
Bulgaria or Hungary.

advancing India toward the goal
. of dominion status while Europe is
. still at war, and for increased repre-
sentative government and a new
constitution after the war.
. L. S. Amery, secretary of State
. for India, told the House of Com
mons that the Viceroy of India
faced with war time agitation for
Indian independence or dominion
status-would form war advisory
council of representative Indians.
Amery told Commons that:
Differences between the Indian
communities which prevented
achievement of natural unity can
no longer postpone the proposed
expansion of the Viceroys council
and the establishment of a body to
associate more closely Indian public
opinion with the central govern
ment."
The Viceroy of India will, Amery
said, "invite number of represen-
tative Indians to join his councils
and will establish a war advisory
council containing representatives
of the Indian states and other in
terests in the national life of India
as a whole"

L
attractive % year old Rose Lodi
sought fugitive Connecticut con-
Wit for questioning today after his
companion had been captured and
eliminated as a suspect.
Connecticut State Police said they
were satisfied with the story OF
Fred Stearns, 48, who escaped
with another convict Sunday, that he
had Travelled to East Longmeadow,
Mass, and then returned to his
South Windsor, Conn, home where
he was captured last night.
Search for Stearns' companion in
the escape was intensified since the
recaptured man said they parted at
Longmeadow about five miles East
Of the hobo jungle" where the
girls half clad body, slashed and
stabbed, was found yesterday by her
father Angelo.
| The man who escaped with
Stearns was Wayne Swanson, 80, of
Hartford, Conn, who was serving a
3 to Z year term for sex offense.
Stearns was serving a to year
term on morals charge. The two
fled while putting COWS to pasture
at a prison camp at Enfield, Conn.,,
near the Massachusetts line.
Persons who knew the girl were
questioned officials said, because
mutilation of her face might indi-
cate that her slayer had a personal
vengeance. The question whether
she had been assaulted criminally,
not settled by an autopsy yesterday,
was to be determined by chemical
tests.
Three Stab Wounds
Medical examiner Charles ]. Dow
ney reported that Miss Lodi's death
was caused primarily by internal
hemorrhage resulting from three
stab wounds through her left lung
and heart. Both cheeks were dis
figured by long curving cuts and her
forearmS were SlaShed. These
wounds, DR.. Downey said, were in
f1icted after death, indicating venge-
full mutilation.
The autopsy also disclosed that
death came two or three hours after
the girl had eaten lunch with her
two sisters, Anna, %, and Enes, 10,
before leaving for her job at the
Diamond Match Co. plant. It was
established that she had purchased
headache pills about p. m. enroute
to the factory's 2 to 10 p. m. shift
Tuesday.
A futile search for the death
weapon was made in the area near
the spot to which the gagged girl
had been dragged, about is feet
from a shortcut she customarily
took to work.
Miss Lodi was born in New Brit
ain, Conn, May 8, 1918, and attend
ed elementary schools there. The
family moved here in 1925 and she
went to the Van Sickle Junior high
school and graduated from Com
merce high school in February 1888,
starting at the match company the
following September.

While these planes were battling

eral bombs fell near by. One blasted
a huge crater in a tennis court in
front of the house.
Other bombs falling In a nearby
village damaged several cottages,
causing ceilings to collapse. Bomb
splinters punctured the walls.
Anti-aircraft batteries drove these
raiders off.
The German planes-after two
days of comparative calm-returned
to attacks on shipping and raids on
land detectives.
Royal Air Force fighters engaged
the Nazis in several air clashes in
the channel area, where ship con-
voys appeared to be the detectives
Residents along the southeast
coast reported that a number Of
German planes also had crossed high
over the coast line and were engaged
by defense fighting craft.
The fact that the German planes
were flying very high indicated that
they might be headed for important
daylight raids on land detectives in
Britain.

Admiralty Reports.
The admiralty issued a statement
that dive bombers of the British
fleet air arm had attacked success
fully and were believed to have de-
stroyed gasoline storage depot at
Dolvik, about five miles south Of the
Norwegian port of Bergen.
British Spitfire fighting craft.
meanwhile, engaged German planes
in furious dog fights above layers of
clouds over Southern England.
For half an hour cannon fire from
the Nazi fighters and the crackle of
machine guns Of the British planes
could be heard. Occasionally a
plane could be seen through the
clouds.
The biggest battle along the Chan
mel seemed to center over shipping,
with German dive bombers diving
out of cloud banks to attack YES
sells along the coast.
The British Spitfires seemed to be
everywhere during the battle, diving
at tremendous speed to attack the
German craft. Witnesses said tho
Germans were seen to break and
turn back over the Channel, after
which the British planes returned to
patrol duty.

homes In industrial areas. remained
quietly IN their beds even after the
first bomb had exploded.

esteem and regret at severance Of
their political association which led
to the New Deal victories Of 1882
and 1896.
During my life time I shall cher
ish the associations and friendships
which I have made while serving as

President Regrets
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote Farley Of his
Gown sincere sorrow that we are
losing you as a member Of the Of
fetal family"
"All of us in the administration
will miss you deeply; we count on
seeing you often," the president
wrote.
81 especially count on this after
all Of our years Of close personal
association. Our friendship will al
ways continue.
II need not tell you that you have
always my affectionate regards"
Despite the mutual expressions Of
friendship and esteem, Farley'S res
ignation apparently marked an his
toric milestone in the history Of the
New Deal.
As "the man behind the ballots"
Farley was the master political tech
nician who did the spadework which
produced the 1892 and 1896 land
slides which entrenched Mr.. Roose-
welt in the presidency.
The Farley resignation was an
nounced at the summer White
House as Mrs. Roosevelt opened q

conferred with his running-mate
Henry A. Wallace on strategy for

He said that the government had
agreed to establish a postwar body
representing the principal elements
in India to devise the framework
of a new constitution.
Meanwhile, Amery said, the gov
eminent will welcome every practi-
cal effort on the part Of the Indians
themselves to reach a friendly agree
ment regarding the proposed post
war body and the outlines Of the
new constitution.
Agitation for independent govern
ment or for dominion status in India
has been largely under leadership
of the Indian nationalist movement
of Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, but
there has been sharp conflict among
the various India factions on the
form of any new constitution.
