 MT. Roosevelt told the dancers and the nation by radio that he was very grateful for contributions to the fund for fighting infantlle paralysis-'My own thanks for the rarest birthday present of all = the gift of your charity, your k1ndll- ness to each other and to the na- tion." But he said he could not say that "this is for me completely happy birthday"
 'These are not completely happy days for any one of us in the world" he said. Shall we say that American birthdays this year are being made at least happier than they would be otherwise be because all of us are still living under a free peoples philosophy?
 'It is not only that the lights of peace blaze in our great cities and glow in our towns and villages that laughter and music still ring out from coast to coaSt-that we will return to, safe beds tonight.
 Tt is not that we feel no con- cern for the plight of free peoples elsewhere in the world: that we do not hope that they may continue the freedom of their governments and their ways of life in the days to come.
 Tt is because we believe in and 1 insist on the right of the helpless and the weak and the crippled everywhere to play their part in life-and survive.
 Rights of Unfortunate
 'tIt is because we know instictive- ly that this right of the unfor- tunate comes under our free peo- pleS' philosophy from the bottom up and can never be imposed from the top down."
 There were five major birthday balls here and countless smaller ones. The last event on the pro- gram was a "gold plate" breakfast early today after the dancing end- ed.
 AS it was here, so it was through out the nation:
 Boston-President,s youngest son, John Roosevelt and his wife, and Gov. Leverett Saltonstail led 25,L the Naugatuck court. He is the pres- ent incumbent.

Germans Drop Shells Far Into Kent County
Continued from Page l.)

looking oyer the harbor the anti aircraft batteries blazed into action.
 While Willkie got his first real "front-line" experience in Britain, the guns threw up heavy barrage of shells attempting to hit Dornier Flying Pencil which flew over the Channel town.
 Willkie was standing on the east ern side of the harbor when the guns went into action. The batteries were close to him and they sent up heavy fire at the German raider flying in the cover of low clouds.
 The Nazi plane dropped no bombs and Willkie continued his inspec- ton of the port which lies only p ] miles across the stormy English channel from the German bases on the French shore.
 As he watched, British sailors dismantled 8 German rescue float which broke away from it's moor ings and was picked up by British l forces.
 Gets Demonstration
 To demonstrate the effectiveness of the British defense some of the anti-inyasion batteries in the har- bor fired a few rounds for Willkie's benefit.
 The guns were in action only momentarily at first when Willkie halted his sightseeing and watched the long shouts belch fire and smoke.
 The guns soon were in action again at Dover Castle. With the collar of his dark grey coat turned up, Willkie was well comed by Vice-Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, Dover commandant who was knighted for his organization | of the evacuation of Dunkirk. In camouflaged army car the visiting American was driven to an inspec- ton of the boom across the en- | trance to Dover harbor. Willkies inspection was complet- ed with examination of Winnie, a giant British gun built to fire across the English channel. It was named for Prime Minister Winston Church. i'll, who ordered it erected.
 From Dover Willkie returned to London. He planned to visit Gov. entry and Birmingham On Sunday.
 Naxl Rolling Attack

which provided little more vlSlDultJ than they would encounter at night There were three London ail alarms during the day, the fina one lasting until almost dusk.
 There is 9 miles of water be- tween the British and French sides of the Strait of Dover at the near- est point, so that the German guns fired shells minimum of g miles
 Smelling Warning
 Authorities at Canterbury held a meeting yesterday to consider the shelling situation, and decided to consult army authorities regarding a smelling" warning, such as has been established at Dover.
 Most of the smelling has taken place at night, though two shells dropped inland yesterday.
 German airplane bombs crashed into a London street just before noon today in the second daylight raid on the day.
 Bursts of machine gun bullets were heard above low clouds as if the Germans were trying to shoot down barrage balloons.
 Anti-aircraft guns fired intermit- tently as the drone of German plane motors was heard.
 The third raid alarm of the day sounded at lunch time and guns fired heavily at German planes which could be heard over London proper.
 Clouds, Fog
 It was indicated that the Ger mans were taking advantage of clouds and fog in the Dover Strait to slip past coastal defenseS and indulge in nuisance raiding.
 Damage to homes and some cas- ualties were reported as the result of bombs which dropped in Lon- don street during the second alarm period.
 More bombs, high explosive and incendiary, dropped during the third alarm period.
 Pedestrians aided in snuf1ing out the fire bombs with sand bags which had been distributed along sidewalks.
 Daylight attacks on London were reaching the proportion in num- bers of the night raids because clouds were hiding the planes from the British defenses.
 British fighters, because of the clouds had the same handicaps as in their attempts to repel German night attacks.
