LONDON. Sept. 24.-The Royal
Air Force submitted Berlin to
the worst afraid and bombing of
the war TO date last night when
approximately 500 planes were
dispatched from British bases
across the lowlands and far into
Germany TO the capital city.
Nazi anti-aircraft guns sue
ceeded in driving a large proper
ton of the invading British
planes away from the center of
the city, but many R. A. F.
bOmbers penetrated through the
barrage and proceeded to give
Berlin heavy dose of the medi-
cine that has been the lot of
London during the past three
weeks.
Public buildings of all deScrip-
tons were hit and factories. large
and small. were set afire by in
cendiary missiles.
In retaliation. late reports here
today indicated that the Nazis
were sending over renewal of
their air attacking drive, follow
ing two-day period of COM
parative respite Southeast Eng
land cities reported that inten-
sity of attacks had greatly in
creased at noon today and that
hundreds of German planes were
heading toward London up the
Thames estuary.
A report was heard here this
morning. though unconfirmed by
official British sources, that from
$4,000 to $4,000 Nazi troops were
drowned last week when barges
upon which they were embarked
in the English channel had been
sunk by R. a F. bombingS.
Observers believed that this
barge attempt may have been the
initial invasion attempt ordered
by Hitler. and its failure sig
nailed the decision to call off the
invasion until later.
British sources stated that ac-
ton over the west coast of France
this morning resulted ii the sink
ing of two German trOopShipS
and damage to at least one other.
No information as to casualties
was obtainable.
Reports were rampant here
this morning concerning the sub
ject of future bitter fights be-
tween newly-OrganiZed units Of
the French army and British
forces. Some credence to the
report was indicated when dis
patches came through anent
French defense of African pos
sessions at Dakar when British
expeditionaTy forces operated in
cooperation with ''free French
forces" under command of Gen.
Charles De lGaulle attempted to
force landing there.
Dispatches from Berlin this
morning told of increasing bitter
ness towards the United States
for assistance being given the
British. One official is said to
have issued a warning to Amer
lea that the British will lose the
war regardless of help from any
neutral country.
DNB. official NaZi news agen-
cy. claimed that air attacks late
today had laid waste to addition

around London and more build
mgs had been hit. Waterloo sta

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-The
forthcoming election transcendS
in importance any issue of pure
ly partisan politics.
1t represents a struggle to de-
teTmine the future course OF the
nation for possibly generations to
come, economic, social and polit-
ical.
The paramount issue Ameri-
cans are called upon to decide IS
whether we shall continue TO
preserve the Individual liberties
and the free institutions guaran-
teed to us under the Constitution.
or whether we shall depart yet
further from the American prin-
ciples of self-government along
the road of foreign concepts of
rule by dictatorship.
The present administration re-
mains SteadfaSt in its adherence
to bureaucratic and SOcialiStic
trends in spite of its seven years
of failure. Through the New Deal
system of uncurbed spending and
borrowing we have reached an
all-time high debt of staggering
proportions and continue to face
annual deficits of billions, even
without having entered upon the
thus far abortive effort to accom-
pliSh an adequate national de-

they are few and far apart.
No. 3. This brings us to Detroit's
Tigers. They have all the scoring
dynamite a ball club needs. They
have pretty fair pitching. But they
have a second-division infield-a
spotty infield well below any normal
pennant showing.
Detroit can 60 out and get the
runs. But before the season is over
the Tiger infield will show too many
gaps to match their run-making Of
fensives.
And that factor will be all-impor-
tant in determining final club stand
ings. If the Tigers infeld defensive
power was on a par with their hit
ting ability, the final records likely
would be different.
So these pennant weak spots
against the staggering Yankees in
clude these:
l. Cleveland-too much inside dis
sension and trouble.
2. Boston - lack of battery
strength, always vital need.
3. Detroit-a rickety infield.
The Big Change
What about the Yankees? Their
main control in the realm of rule, in
the kingdom Of conquer, has been
balance. They have great catching,
good pitching, a star infield, a fine
outfield - defensive and offensive
strength just about evenly matched.
They came home in poor condi-
ton for two reasons-bad weather in
the South and killing spring train
ing tour that covered most of the
map below the Mason and Divot
line.
They also had four years of easy
success back of their fifth charge.
Each man on the club had banked
SIS, 200 in world series cash since
1886.
They left big opening for some
well-rounded challenger, but if they
win this time it will be largely be-
cause their main opponents had too
many soft and spongy spots.
