A. FL. Convention
Prepares 10 Debate
u. ). Aid 10 Russia
Most of Business
Remoins Ahead of
Nutionu! Session
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Oct. 11.-Virtually all
business of the American Federation
of Labor convention lay ahead today
as the annual session reached the
halfway mark.
1t included debate and action on
such proposals as aid to Russia,
condemnation of racketeering with
in the labor movement and criticism
of Thurman Arnold, chief OF the
Department of Justice antitrust
division. The convention was in
recess today.
The conclave has eliminated two
of the federation's Is vice presi-
denotes, one of which already is
vacant.
The reduction to Is was viewed
generally by delegates as meaning
the elimination from the executive
council of George E. Browne, 18th
vice president of the A. F. L. and
president of the International Al
lance of Theatrical and Stage En-
ployes. He is on trial in New York
on a charge of eXtorting S550,O00
from film producers.
Officials Decline Comment.
A. F. L. officials declined to COM
ment on the Browne angle.
The prospect of a controversy
over another of the vice presidencies
appeared today. Supporters of Leo
George of Washington, D. c., presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Post Office Clerks, said he would
seek the A. F. L. vice presidency
held by Edward ]. Gainor.
A contradiction came, however,
from H. C. Doherty of Cincinnati,
letter carriers president, who said
"Gainor is very much a candidate" p"
although he had to return to his
Washington home because of illness.
Criticism of Antitrust Chief Ar
mold was due to come before the
convention in the Resolutions Com
mittee report on the Executive Coun-
Gil report.
Arnold CrltlclSm.
The report, as it went before the
Resolutions Committee, said OF Mr..
Arnold:
Frustrated by the courts, he has
given up all pretense of being a law
enforcement public servant, whose
duty it is to enforce the laws as
they exist. and has assumed the
role of a full-blown anti-labor lob
byist whose prime objective is to
amend the Sherman Act to include
labor unions"
1t criticized his attempts to prose-
cute labor unions under the anti
trust laws, assailed laws which the
council said Mr.. Arnold now was
seeking to press through Congress
and concluded:
Mr.. Arnold's publicity campaign
is rank exploitation of the prestige
of his public Office"

local fields and from Boston, Provi-
dence, Groton, Conn; Long Island,
Mitchell Field, Floyd Bennett Air
port, Camp Dix and Norfolk, to
meet the attackers.
Both military and civilian afraid
warning systems will be tested.
These include radio-locators along
the coast, set to warn of approach
ing raiders, and a network of civil
ian spoilers in observation posts
over a wide area extending several
hundred miles inland from the
coast.
ID. c. on the Alert.
Washington's warning system set
up at fire alarm headquarters will
be given a second test Tuesday,
when operators and a skeleton crew
of air raid wardens will be on the
alert for expected raids" from II
noon to pm.
The general maneuvers are under
direction of 1t Col Delos C. EN-
mons, commander of the Air Force
Combat Command, who is stationed
in Washington.
Meanwhile, in Maryland volun->
ter spoilers were cheered by re-
ports that, despite early criticism,
the Army considers their work on
the whole as excellent"
Maj. Gordon Saville, executive
officer of the 1st Interceptor Com
mand at Mitchell Field, who said
that Maryland observers had been
"lax," declared there must be
some misunderstanding" He added:
THE reports received from obser-
vation posts which are organized
and did report were excellent yes
terday and even better today. The
absence of many observation posts
which We require still makes our
problem most difficult"
Seeks Force of Women.
At the same time Gen. Emmons
announced the Air Corps will seek
congressional approval to summon
a uniformed contingent of $4,000
to 10000 American woman volun-
teers to handle technical and secret
work in the Air Raid Interceptor
Command.
Gen. EmmonS said the War De-
partment already has proposed con-
greSsional authorization of the plan
to put women in uniform" during
the present session. The idea, he
said, might easily spread to other
branches of the Army, with enlist
ments up to 10000 women.
Most of these enlisted would be
"privates," he said, but there would
be woman officers also. The women
would not be enlisted unless war was
declared or the national emergency
becomes more acute.
Il can safely say" Gen. Emmons
continued, that the war is getting
closer to us all the time, and our
exposure to air raids comes closer"
The general discussed the plan
with the Associated Press while in
specting New York headquarters of
the air raid warning system.

Life on Southwest Coast.
The coast is pierced by scores of
isolated fjords, and harbors abound.
The east coast Is subject to pack
ice. which makes navigation haz-
ardous, so that most of the islands
activity is confined to the southwest
coast. Frequent fogs add to the
perilS of navigation.
Greenland is about TOO miles from
Newfoundland, where large naval
and Army air bases are being sped
to completion, and some Its miles
from New York. Germany, in ex-
tending its declared counter block
ade zone last March, moved the
western edge of the zone to a point
only 3 miles of the east coast.
Aside from supplying weather re-
ports to German-occupied Europe,
a Nazi radio station might be of
material aid to the attacks of Ger
man U-boats and bombers on the
nearby North Atlantic shipping
route, naval men believed.
Within a few hundred miles three
American-owned freighters, under
Panama registry, were sunk in the
last two months and the destroyer
Greer attacked.
The Sessa was torpedoed and
sunk August IT. the Montana Sep
tember II and the Pink Star more
recently.
Authority Unexplained.
There was no immediate official
explanation of the specific authority
under which the Navy acted in
seizing the Norwegian vessel and
bringing it and the crew into an
American port.
In some Government quarters 1t
was said, unofficially. however, that
the agreement between the United
States and the Danish Minister cov-
cred the situation.
That agreement gave the United
States the right to build bases, COM
municationS and Notifications land
generally the right to do any and
all things necessary to insure the
efficient operation, maintenance and
protection of such defense facili-
ties as may be established"
Many members of Congress were
reluctant to comment until they
could learn more about the Incl
dent
However, Representative Vorys,
Republican, of Ohio said that off
hand it sounds like a good move
toward hemisphere defense"
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala

Enemy Gets Hot Reception
In Attack of New York

NEW YORK, Oct. IL R).-High
above the largest city in the country
today 100 planes, some defenders, 3"
some attackers" fought it out in
an unexpected dogf1ght. When it
was over Army men said an enemy"
would get hot reception attempting
to bomb this city of nearly 100000.
1t was mock air warfare-but skill
full, they said. At noon powerfully
motored combat planes pulled out
of Mitchell Field on Long Island and
massed 1000 feet above Fourteenth
street in Manhattan. There they
waited for more planes "loafing
down" from the air base at Windsor
Locks, Conn.
AS they met, one group climbed
TO 1000 feet, circled and dropped
one by one earthWard at approx
mately $50 miles an hour to attack
the other group which served as an
unsuspecting enemy"
1t was over so quickly that bar
gain hunters on Fourteenth street
had scarcely time to leave their
counters.
Crackup Averted.

stration dive bombers had at
tackled" Yonkers, N. Y, Allentown
and Bethlehem, Pa, and Newark
At some points the ships rose to
10000 feet and dove to 1000
Only one untoward incident was
reported, two pursuit planes from
the 58th Squadron averting crack
ups by belly landings" at Mitchell
Field after landing gears jammed.
The pilots-Second 1t. r. E.

Mass, and Second 1t. j. T. Moore,
"a, of Adams Run, S. C.-circled
the field As minutes in their P-40's
before signaling they were unable
to jar the wheels loose and would
come in fiat" AS fire and rescue
crews stood by, both landed with
slight damage to the ships and no
personal injuries.
Fort Tilden Taken.
Late last night and early today a
force of 1900 men invaded Fort
Tilden on the edge of New York
harbor in a mock battle and blasted
the city with more than 10000
theoretical pounds of high explo-
sives after capturing the forts
artillery guns
The invaders, from Fort Hancock
at Sandy Hook, loosed imaginary
shells while on the grounds 500 de-
tenders fought to push back the
enemy whose attack was, officially,
a surprise.
