Air Attacks on Britain
May Be Intensified,
Churchill Warns
Word Of Caution Follows
Report Nuzi Forces
Are Being Regrouped
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Prime Minis
ter Churchill warned the British
people yesterday that German air
action against the British Isles this
winter may be heavy and menac- :
ing enough to call for everything
that civil defense can produce to
defeat 1t"
His statement was considerably V
less optimistic in tone than his OBJ
servation in his address at Edin-
burgh October 10 that the Germans
possibly would attempt "a very small
return" in retaliation for the batter
ing given the Reich by the Raj.
The Prime Minister'S warning was
read by Herbert Morrison, Home
Secretary and Minister of Home
Security. in the course OF an address
to civil defense workers.
Nazi Air Force Regrouped.
The word of caution came after >
receipt of reports from the continent
which told of the regrouping OF the
German Air Force by Reichsmarshal
Goering for the primary purpose OF
meeting bold daylight sallies by
heavily -gunned American and Brit
ish bombers.
But the possibility remained that
such regrouping also might increase
the effectiveness of the Nazi Air
Force for bombing of Great Britain.
Undoubtedly the Allies are over
taking the Germans in air power"
the Prime Minister'S statement said.
But none of us must rest upon
his laurels or remain unthinkingly
content with the methods of 1940-4l.
1--WE cannot know with certainty
the total weight of the attack which
the Germans may be able to may
decide to bring to bear upon any
particular city.
1T may we'll be heavy and menac-
ing enough to call for everything
civil defense can produce in order
to defeat it. It is our duty to be
prepared every day and at all points.
This is an assumption which ma
tional interest demands we make"
May Change Attack Methods.
Mr.. Morrison gave emphasis to the
Prime Minister'S warning, and said
the RATS successful tactics might
lead to changes in the German
method of attack.
1--WE may have to face fresh kinds
of assault, bringing unfamiliar prob
lens and calling for renewed dis
plays of initiative and power to i'm
provise," he said.
He added that the British must
avoid being "stampeded by any pan
icky theorizing into needless tactical
CANDLES" because there is no assur-
ance that Britain can count on the
German attack following the 1940-
Al pattern, or the form of the Raj
raids on the Ruhr and Rhineland.
Both Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Nor
rison seemed to take cognizance of
recent warnings of some air experts
that the Germans might adopt the
RATS "saturation" tactics this win
ter.
These experts suggested that If
such raids started defense should be
limited to buildings essential to
| carrying out the war effort, and that
citizens should not be exposed to
danger to preserve buildings not
vitality essential.

GoebbeIs' Appeal Suggests
Germon Public is Woverinq
BY PAUL GHALI,
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star an
Chicago Daily News.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, Oct. 19.-Dr. Joseph Goeb-
bels found it necessary yesterday at
Munich to administer yet another
stimulant to the German people as
they face the fourth winter OF the
war, which two years ago their lead
ers assured them was "as good as
over"
Among observers here, interest in
this latest Nazi propaganda pill lies
not so much in its ingredients as in
the need to administer it. The very
nature of the occasion-a demon
stration "consecrated to prepared
ness for the fight and to loyalty to
the fatherland"-is significant in
itself. Does it perhaps imply that
Nazi leaders are uncomfortably
aware that this preparedness and
loyalty exist more in their wishes
than in the hearts of their peoples?
That suggestion is limited at by
today's Tribune de Lausanne, which
observes that Axis opponents will
certainly proclaim that IF victory
were as certain as one pretends in
Berlin there would be no need of
great discourses to persuade the
masses"
Concerning the ingredients of the
Goebbels pill, it is summarized here
as a strange concoction of certainty
of victory with q warning of the
consequences of defeat. The en-
phasis placed on the fate awaiting q
defeated Germany is regarded here
as one of the most interesting fea-
lures Of recent Nazi orations. Its
purpose, foreign circles point out,
Is clear: The Nazi leaders, far from
being certain Of victory, realize that
the only chance lies in the super
human, united efforts of their peo-
Piles. In order to obtain this, Nazi
propagandists appeal to the most
fundamental !. .of all human IN
stincts-fear. -. =
The fear Of q second, harder
Versailles" alone, it seems from DR.
Goebbels' words, can spur new ef.
forts on the part of a Germany
which has seen the immense con.
quests of the Wehrmacht lead, un.
til now, to nothing more tangible
than few extra ounces OF bread
and meat while, on the other side
are the rising confidence of its
enemies, the increasing horrors OF
Allied bombings and the hatred OF
conquered peoples.
The subject of discussion among
certain foreign neutral circles here
is whether and how the Allies will
counteract this new line of Nazi
propaganda. The popular belief is
that amplification of the Atlantic
Charter may be expected in the
near future.

Psychiatrists Disagree
On Danger 10 Minds
OF Teen-Age Draftees
Dr.. overhoIzer Concurs
In Statement Terming
Early Feors 'Groundless'

The Nations leading psychiatrists
are split in two groups over the
probable effects of military service
on the developing minds and char
acters of 18 and 10 year old boys.
Yesterday 10 of the leading mind
specialists in the country-including
DR.. Winfred Overholzer, superin-
tendant of st. Elizabeth's Hospital
issued in Hartford, Conn, a state
ment that in their best judgment
"there are no grounds for appre-
hension as to the effect Of military
service on these younger men as
distinguished from the older men,
The statement followed directly
statement, published Saturday, from
the Institute of Mental Hygiene in
which such leaders in the field as
DR.. Thomas v. Moore, professor of
psychiatry at Catholic University,
and DR.. Nolan D. c. Lewis, former
clinical director of st. Elizabeth's,
declared that the effects might be
devastating. .t
SS"SASSASS o"Au Il "SVA "OACs
Yesterdays joint statement was
issued by DR.. c. Charles Burlingame
of the Neuropsychiatric Institute
of Hartford, on behalf of the group.
The statement:
So much has been said and SO
much implied about the desirability
of drafting 18 and 19-year-old men
for military service from the view
point of emotional stability that it
seems that in the public interests
that simple, direct statement
should be made on this question.
Speaking as individuals, we wish
to assure the public and parents
of this age group that there are
no grounds for apprehension as to
the effect of military service on
these younger men as distinguished
from the older men. Such statis-
tics as are available indicate that
the incidence of mental break
downs is no greater in the 18 and
19-year age group than in the older
group. If anything, it is somewhat
less. It would seem to us that
the proposal now before the Amer
lean Congress does not unduly
compromise the future mental in
tegrity of this particular age group
or of the Nation.
With the Government realizing
| and properly assuming this increased
responsibility, we indorse favor
able action upon the proposal to in
clude men of 18 and 10 years under
the Selective Service Act.

HILLSBORO, Tex, Oct. 19.-Kids
of the Aquila School went back to
classrooms today after a six-week
vacation-if you call picking 187, 500
pounds of cotton a holiday.
The economic life of their little
community was at stake when the
cotton fields turned white with
ripened staple and there was nobody
to harvest it.
School Supt. John P. Cox sug-
gested to the School Board that
classes start July n, continue for
six weeks, then stop six weeks dur
ing the harvest season. The kids
would do the rest.
The idea was approved and in
their six-week holiday the students
picked 375 bales-the entire crop.

The W ashingtOn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active duty.J

WASHINGTON-Matters of per sonal prestige in the army some times get SC belligerently entangled that you wonder whether we'-e fighting I foreign foe, or ourselves. For instance, Gen. Walter Weaver, commander of the Air Corps Tech nical Command at Pinehurst, N. C., wantl ar educational film showing the many phases of ground work connected with the Air Corps-how a plane cannot get off the ground without mechanics, the duties of weather experts, supply men, etc.
 So he ordered one of his aides, Major ci Bartlett, formerly an ace Hollywood writer, to take the mat ter up with o-Goldwyn-M Mayer M-G-M was glad to produce the film, started several film writers on the ioa, and Major Bartlett went out to Hollywood.
 Before he left, however, he phoned Col Arthur I. Ennis of Air Corps public relations and cleared the idea with him.
 But shortly after Major Bartlett reached the Coast, he got phone call f-orl Col. Mason Wright, chiei of the Arnly's Division of Pictures ordering h,m to drop work on the Air Corps picture immediately. Very irate, Wright said this idea had not been cleared through him.
 Col Wright is a West Pointer in the regular army, not the Air Corps. who has taken quite fancy 10 Hollywood and has contributed a story i1ea to Universal. Hollywood literally shakes in it's shoes when he raises his voice above a whis- per.
 So, after several long distance phone calls at about twenty bucks a throw. Major Bartlett and Metro Mayer dropped the Air Corps picture and Col. Wright turned it over to Daryl zanuck of 20th Century-Fox.

WASHINGTON, July 9 The Shadow of Things to Come:
 The Navy has pointed the way and unless every other wartime agency ignores the lesson taught by the Navy experiment, our bur- eaucratic government is in for a streamlining of personnel and elim- nation of red tape which will save millions every month of war.
 Tn mid-April. the Navy Depart ment had 17,500 civilian employees here and was talking in terms of hiring 1000 a month flor the dura- tion"
 In the face of this Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox did dar- ing thing. It went practically un- noticed at the time-except among the big war agency employers and to say that they were shocked is to put it mildly. He froze Navy personnel for 45 days. In other words, he said there would be no more hiring until June l Che later extended the freeze 30 days to July D.

Navy Secretary Knox Siaris Something; Mas
 Startling New Policy

Morale among Navy civilian workers is outstripping that of almost any other department. And some other war agency personnel directors are biting their nails and wishing that their bosses had fired that first gun instead of allowing Secretary Knox to point the target with his brace of tracers.
 In calling a halt to all new civil- ian hiring in the face of the great est expansion in naval history, Knox ordered incompetents drop ped eager but untrained employees given special training or refresher courses: misplaced employees trans ferred to the jobs where their eff ciency and experience would count; and unnecessary paper work cut.
 Within few days after the order had been issued, approximately l50 fulsome reports had been eliminated from the daily routine; personnel was being juggled and the eff ciency hounds inspired by prom ises of bonuses and promotion, were working right through the black outs trying to wi ngold stars for their various offices and themselves.
