Army Bomber Crashes
In Georgia; Pilot Killed
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
RIVERDALE, Ga, Oct. s.-A
twin-motored Army bomber, of the
type being ferried across the At
lantic to Great Britain, crashed and
burned near here last night, killing
the pilot.
The pilot was identified as 1t.
K. E. Elliott of McCord Field, Wash,
by 1t. j. w. Luker, flight leader
of three ships, including the one
which crashed.
1t. Luker said the fight was en-
route from Barksdale Field, La. to
Gambler Field, Atlanta. 1t. Elliott's
ship caught fire in the air and ex-
ploded on the ground. His body was
found three-quarters of a mile from
the ship. His parachute was open.

that he personally advocated the
end Of curbs on ship movements.
Another member Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat. of Utah
told reporters he still favored his
original proposal to grant the Chief
Executive discretionary authority to
apply the neutrality law as he saw
fit, but added that he would support
an armed ship measure as an initial
change.
IF discretionary power had been
granted in the first place there
would be no issue now" Senator
Thomas said.
Assistant Minority Leader Austin,
who attended yesterdays conference,
told newSmen the meeting did not
forestall those present from sup
porting repeal of the entire act.
But he added that repeal of the
armed ship prohibition is the most
expedient step short of repeal of the
whole act"
Senator Truman, Democrat, OF
Missouri also urged complete repeal
of the present law, saying that lit
has failed to serve its purpose" Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
home said he would support any
neutrality changes requested by the
administration.
Hatch Favors Aiming Ships.
Support for arming ships came
from Senator Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico who said he also might
favor eliminating the present COM
bat zone restrictions.
However, Senator Smith, Demo-
crat, OF South Carolina, dean of the
Senate, voiced his conviction that
1t would be impossible to get the
Senate to remove the present combat
zones"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, like Senator Smith an oppo-
nent Of administration foreign pol
icy, considered the decision to seek
only ship arming confession of
weakness" and another oppositionist
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, declared:
Revision of the Neutrality Act
now will be edging into the war. II
would be more honest to ask for q
declaration Of war now"

Bill! Filed 10 Give D. {.
$4,000 900 Defense Fund

A bill which would permit the Dis
trict to share in the Federal Works
Agencys $l50,000,000 fund for con-
struction in localities experiencing
rapid expansion because of defense
activities was introduced today by
Chairman Randolph of the House

Adding to Their Safety.

Our merchant vessels are sailing

the defense of the United States 1t
is not just that the crews Of these
vessels should be denied the means
of defending their lives and their

Although the arming of merchant

their safety. In the event of an at

Senate action today on the bill,
which has already passed the House.
He said Minority Leader McNary
had no objection. but Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, indicated he
would like to see the bill 60 over
until Monday to discuss its details.
The committee acted after a
brief hearing. in which Mr.. Jones
outlined the procedure by which
r. F. C. helps finance the building
of defense plants recommended by
o. P. M.
Mr.. Jones testified that, although
the United States is producing l.
600 900 tons of copper and buying
another 500 900 tons from Chile, the
o. P. M. estimates this country will
need another million tons next year.

Defiant Utterances.
The Chief Executive concluded
his message with a harshly worded
series OF defiant utterances to Hitler
and of determination on the part
OF this Nation to maintain its Sc
curity and integrity.
Remarking that Hitler has offered
challenge which the American
people will not tolerate, Mr.. Roose-
welt added:
I'VE will not let Hitler prescribe
the waters of the world on which
our ships may travel. The Ameri-
can flag is not going to be driven
from from the seas either by his
submarines, his airplanes or his
threats.
I'VE cannot permit the affirmative
defense of our rights to be annulled
and diluted by sections of the Neu-
trality Act which have no realism
in the light of unscrupulous ambi-
ton of madmen.
I'VE intend to maintain the policy
OF protecting the freedom of the
seas against domination by any
foreign power which has become
crazed with a desire to control the
world"

Longest Inactive Period.
The present period of R. A. F
inactivity is the longest that ha,
occurred in offensive British aeria
operations since the start of the
German Russian campaign.
The last British night raid over
the continent was the night of Oc-
tober 3, when German-occupiec
Rotterdam was one of the principal
targets.
A year ago the German air force
was striking hard at Britain, even
when weather conditions were foul
British sources in London said
however. that, although they keenly
desired to intensity the attacks on
German objectives as means of
helping Russia, 1t was futile at a
time when power must be used to the
best advantage to risk heavy losses
without compensating results.
Luftwaffe Lull Utilized.
The long lull in heavy German
operations against Britain has been
utilized in manufacturing and
training efforts, and 1t. Gen. Sir
Frederick Pile predicted that if the
Nazi air force resumed night raids
in force this winter its losses would
be twice those of last winter.
Gen. Pile is chief of British anti
aircraft defenseS. He said anti-air-
craft fire efficiency had increased
between Is and 80 fold since Sep
tember. 1910. He reported guns and
searchlights had been more favor
ably situated and that the men were
better trained in the use of radio
locators. In addition, he said, Bri-
tain has obtained more secret de-
vices to deal with aerial invaders.

Joe Cook is out of the show this

That's what seemed to me SC
funny. There they were, perfect
from tip to toe in dress and deport-

pended those odd, delicate, little
strips of metal. They all looked too
much like the old-fashioned chromos

I had to laugh alone. Everybody

My daughter accompanied me and
while I sat struggling to discover
reasons why I wasn't enjoying this
stupendous, costly and talented ex-

goggle-eyed with rapture. But even
Ruth, after two hours of 1t, turned
and asked petulantly. why does
everybody come out with ice skates

a critic.
