Gigantic Air Raid
Feared in Unison
With Invasion
BY JAMES +. BROWN
Int1 News service stan Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. l. German
bombers probably will intensity
their renewed daylight assaults on
Britain until the Nazi high COM
mand considers the moment ripe
for a gigantic mass air attack and
a simultaneous invasion attempt,
British military experts predicted
today.
This expert expression of opin-
ion followed yesterdays wide
spread daylight lone wolf raids
which caused considerable casual
ties and damage and proved the
heaviest daylight pounding Britain
has taken in months.
NEW TACTICS
The new German tactics. which
the British described as armed
reconnaissance" are definitely re-
garded as a prelude to an about
1871 air offensive by the Nazi luft-
waite.
Qualified British sources said the
new German campaign is picking
I'D where the luftwaffe left off last
October" after a protracted period
of daylight assaults. During that
period, according to British claims,
the number of German planes shot
down by British fighters reached
heavy proportions.
These quarters also expressed
belief that the present attacks
now will continue until the long
heralded Nazi invasion attempt is
launched.
AFTER the terrific defeat of
massed German fighters and
bombers last September, the
Iuftwaffe chiefs changed their
tactics" one British expert said.
@Ffghter-bombers and fighters,
loaded with one or two bombs,
Faided Britain In q steady
stream, flying high and fast.
They were difficult TO intercept.
SHIPPING TARGETS

this will now be continued until

Speculation over the strength of
the German air force now avail
able along the continental coastal
areas opposite Britain arose anew
today afker the London Daily
Express Claimed Field Marshal
Coering has sent about one-fifth
of the luftwaffe to southern Italy
to hold the air sector south of the
line between Naples and Bari"
The Express also stated that one
of Germany's five air corps has
been sent to Italy.

SLIGHT CHANGES
 IN TEMPERATURE

Nearly constant temperatures con- tinued to prevail in the city yester- day and today, perhaps bringing some measure of satisfaction to the many local residents who came down with colds during recent weeks, when the mercury was about as steady as & jack-in-the box. Less than twelve degrees variance in temperature was noted in the past twenty -four hours, the highest point recorded being 70 degrees at 1:30 today, and the lowest, 58 degrees during the night.
 Skies were mostly cloudy today, with a prediction of light rains in the shore areas, though none was forecast for the immediate vicinity of Waterbury. According to the weather man, tomorrow will bring fair and cooler weather.

ORDER OF NAMES
 STARTS DISPUTE.
Present Setup of Voting Machines Starts Agita-
 tion Changes Likely

Disputes over the order in which names of candidates have beeen placed on the voting machine used in the City Hall lobby for demon- stration purposes and over an In- dependent DemocratsO nomination enlivened the city election Campsign today.
 It WIS claimed, that names of both Republican and Democratic candidate for some ofIlces had not been placed. in correct order. The order of names, 1t was pointed out. may figure importantly in contests for the board of aldermen, board of education and board of tax review.
 At the ofnce of the registrars of voters 1t was said that the sample tickets had been placed on the ma. chimes only temporarily and that corrections would be made to con- form to the 'ofIlcial states. The only tickets thus far on the machines are those of the Democrats and Republicans, no Independent Demo- cratic candidates being listed. The Republican and. Independent states were not filed ct the City Hall un- til yesterday afternoon.
 The Independent ticket, sublmit- ted over the signatures of Acting Town Chairman James D. Watts and Secretary Joseph DeLuca, car- ries the name of Carmlne Calo as 6 candidate for the board of tax re- view. Friends of Harold V. Boyce, Republican candidate also listed as endorsed by the Tndpendents for the same board, said they had un- derstood that he was the only nominee for the board named ct the party caucus Saturday night.

 izers Scored by Harris

The holding of Reid Robinson, president of the International Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, by Caadian immigration authorities, and the fiogging of 0. I. o. organizers in Tennessee are instances of Q Fascist trend that must be guarded against, Don Har- ris, director of the Brass Workers Organizing Committee, declared in letters to prominent public ofl- cials today.
 Tn a letter to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, MT. Harris declared that obrder proceedings against Mir. Robinson served to endanger Canadian American relations. He asked that Canada be requested to rescind It's deportation order, de- claring that the step constituted an "encroachment of Fascisrn."
 Tn letters to Attorney-G General Francis Riddle and to Gov. pren- tice Cooper of Tennessee, MT. Har- ris asserted that the attack on the union organizers was an example of "vigilante-lsm." The fact that au- thoritieS made no effort to find the culprlts was deplorahle, he stated, and might be considered e case Of Hitler tactics"

EMASCULATION
 IS NOT APPROVED
Catholic Editor, Methodist Minister Among Those
 Who Made Protest

Columbus, O., oct. 15-(UP)- Medical authorities doubted today that emasculation of six convicts ct the state penitentiary would curb abnormal sex tendencies, and some believed they might be affected by severe psychological reactions.
 The Rev. A. M. Fitzpratick, edi- tor of the Catholic Universe bulle. tin, official organ of the Cleveland diocese, said the church absolute ly forbidS an operation Of that kind. The church would deny to the civil authority any right to inutilate the human body"
 Warden Frank D. Henderson an- nounced yesterday that the con- victs, most of whom are over 40 and were serving time for rape, attempt to rape or incest, had vol- untarily submitted to emasculatIon within the last years in order to obtain parole.
 Prof. Perry P. Denune of the Ohio State University sociology department, said, "Castration may have serious physiological effects; an unbalanced individual might be warped into other types of crimes
 Medical opinion generally seemed to be that emasculation does not overcome the original criminal ten- dencies and may bring other unde- sirable traits to the surface because the problem is psychological, rather than physical.
 Make Them Worse
 State Health Director R. H Markwith said there were definite possibilities that castration of sex prisoners would make them many times worse than before."
 Prof. Calvin E. Hall of the West ern Reserve University psychology department said, that, Although to begin with, a persons sex im- pulses might be controlled by psy- siological factors, they become a rabit which may persist after such an operation"
 ''The parole commission is set ting an exceedingly dangerous precedent" the Rev. Robert Tucker. 8 Methodist clergyman here, said.
 The parole commission did not say what it thought the effects of the operations would be, but the implication that they were expect ed to be beneficial, was contain ed in Its usual answer to sex crim- inals applying for the operation:
 If the above inmate voluntarily submits to castration, 1t will be much in his favor and greatly ac- celerate favorable action in bis case"

BIG COP LEADERS
 ASKED TO CAUCUS
Hoover, Willkie, LandOn,
 COP Committee, Cong. gressmen May Meet

Montpelier, vt, Oct. lE.-(UP)- An immediate extraordinary cau- GUS" of the nations Republican leaders to establish the national and international policies of the party is suggested by Gov. William H. Wills of Vermont.
 His suggestion was contained in c letter to U. s. Rep. Joseph W. Mar tin Jr, R., Mass, House minority leader and chairman of the Repub- lcan national committee. In the letter, made public last night, Wills said:
 Principles and policies need to be thrashed out with 6 renuncia- ton of personal rancor on all sides. This might bring about some pain full situations, but we are in Q very painful condition.
 However, it would not be too much to expect that the positive, vigorous, well-knit patriotic mag net would attract far more political strength and support than might initially seem lost"
 Wills suggested the caucus com- prise the COP national committee, Republican congressman, Republican governors. former President Herbert Hoover, and the unsuccessful COP presidential candidates, wendell L. Willkie and Alfred M. Landon.
