cisco Franco presumably on plans
for intensifying Spain's collabora-
ton with the long threatened Axis
offensive against Great Britain.
Pierre Laval, French vice pre-
mier, who talked to Hitler near
Paris rushed to Vichy for a talk
with French Premier Marshal Hen
ri Philippe Petain and then-appar-
emily after decision was reached
dashed back to Paris for further
consultation with the Nazis.
Although the French and Span
lsh developments appeared to point
toward the Mediterranean, the Nazi
promises of an offensive on all
fronts were recalled by a British
ministry statement giving details
of the massing of German vessels
with bow specially altered to IA
cilitate landing of tanks and guns
for an invasion of Britain.
The aid ministry, supplementing
an earlier report that Royal air force
bombing raids had affected 20 per
cent of Nazi war production capac-
ity, said that hundreds of self
propelling barges had been concen-
trated along the European coast in
line with Nazi invasion plans.
The British bombers repeatedly
have blasted these invasion ports
and have been credited with dis
rupting Hitler's plans for attack by
water against Britain.
The mystery surrounding the re-
ported conferences and the Nazi
hints of impending developments
"a customary tactic of the Axis
propaganda ministries added to
recent indications that Hitler was
mapping climactic blow, possibly
against the British fleet in the
Mediterranean.
That the Nazis could bring both
France and Spain into such an Of
fenslve, however, was repeatedly
and vigorously denied by the Vichy
government, which emphasized that
it did not intend to re-enter the
war.
Britons also we're concerned about
developments in tn Far East, where
political speakers urged the Japa-
neSe to move against the Dutch
East Indies before Britain or the
United States could intervene in
order to assure oil supplies neces-
sary for the war against China. In
London, the House of Commons in
dicated dissatisfaction with the gov
ernment's failure to give assurance
that British oil firms would not
sell to JapSn.
Nazi attention was centered on
Spain where it was indicated that
an important meeting was planned
although there was only specula-
ton as to whether Hitler or Pre-

While Mr.. Roosevelt bids for
Pennsylvania's 36 electoral votes
today, political observers here were
describing this years presidential
contest as the bitterest since 1923
preliminary to the closest election
since 1916.
Most polls and reports from the
political backgrounds indicate that
COP Candidate Wendell L. Willkie
has increased his strength, but New

to diminish.
Willkie enthusiasm developing in
this final fortnight is based on
reports that his campaign is win
ming recognition in such states as
New York, New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
even Michigan.

35, Negro, were charged with grand
theft of a locomotive, railroad rails
and other oddmentS which disap-
peared from the V. R. Dennis Con-

Solution of the theft case, which
represented a loss of more than

possible until one of the few resi-
dents of the Pilot Knob area re-

big Negro's magnificent physique
impressed the residents.

Steve White, alias King Kong, who
is six feet, two inches tall and
always tips the scales at more than
200 pounds.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)-
The government continued it's eff
forts to bolster army and navy
transport and auxiliary fleets to-
day by negotiating for the purchase
