Military Targets, Cities 10

LONDON, June 30. - Births n
Prime Minister winston Churchill
in a firm speech filled with conf
dence, declared today lit is very
probable there will be heavy fight
ing in the Mediterranean and else
where before the leaves fall in the
autumn"
The Prime Minister promised the
Germans that the mighty arms OF
the British and United States Air
Forces will "lengthen by day and
night" in attacks seeking out more
industrial military targets with
discriminating force" and then the
major cities of Germany will be
disposed of as well.
The two forces will follow the
war industry of the Reich to the
smaller towns, said Churchill.
In the sea war, the British Prime
Minister disclosed that more than
30 submarines were certainly de-
stroyed in May and the destruction
in June continued. He claimed
June was the best month we have
ever known in the war"
Churchills prediction of heavy
fighting in the Mediterranean
came after British Foreign Secre-
tars Anthony Eden, in the House
of Commons. called upon Italian
Premier Benito Mussolini to "ac-
cept the unconditional surrender
terms offered him by the Allies"
Delay Hitler
Italy has as yet been subjected
only to preliminary disruptive
commandments" and is already
wondering where the invasion blow
will fall, Churchill said, while
Hitler's worry over those Allied
plans for assault lied to the re-
markable long delay in opening
the promised German offensive
against Russia"
The Prime Minister spoke after
a ceremony honoring him in Guild
Hall in the heart of London He
announced again the Allies de
mand from the Nazis, Fascists and
japanese tyrants unconditional sur
render"
He declared every man, every
ship, every airplane in the King S
service can be moved to the Pa
cific or be sent there for as many
years as we need to make the Jap
anese in their turn submit or bite
the dust"
Detailing the tremendous air pun
ishment heaped upon Germany
Churchill disclosed the Royal All
Force, alone, in the first sis
months of this year discharged ST.
500 tons of bombs over Germany
and added, in the whole first hall
OF this year, the enemy has dropped
no more than 1900 tons of bomb:

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct.
GA tribute to wire services, news
papers and radio stations for their
adherence to voluntary censorship
was paid last night by Byron Price,
director Of the Once OF Censorship.
In a broadcast interview with
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, the former
executive news editor OF the Asso-
ciated Press said voluntary censor
ship IN America lis effective only
because Of the diligence and high
sense Of responsibility shown by the
thousands of editors, reporters
columnists, copy readers, broad
casters and commentators-the peo-
pie who make us the best informed
people in the world"
Mr.. Price added that without
their intelligent and loyal effort
voluntary censorship would be a
farce, and we would be faced with
the alternative of compulsory CEN
sorship"
He said great responsibility
rests also with members of Con-
gress who exert voluntary per-
sonal censorship on divulging in
formation they possess.

ance with the rules established for

mission for second marriages to di-
vorced persons after a lapse of a
year after the divorce or annulment.
This was lost, however, when the
proposed canon was defeated.
Section Retained.
BY vote of 266 to 264, the
deputies retained a section in the
proposed defeated canon requiring
automatic communication of peo-
pie marrying outside the law of the
church. The deputies deleted a pro-
vision requiring that at least one
party to a proposed canon be bap-
tized.
The whole days debate led up
to the rejection Of the report by the
complicated system of voting by
orders" Under this a majority of
each of the two orders-clerical and
lay-must be won. The fractions are
caused by the fractional votes of
missionary districts.
The Washington delegation of
four clerical and four lay deputies
divided in the vote by orders" on
the llberalized report, the clergy
voting no and the lay deputies
yes
Mr Robertson afterward said he
considered the result a moral vic
tory for the liberal forces as the
report sponsored by him and five
others of the committee on canons
had been adopted by wide margin
as an amendment, although the So
called "Wattley" report into which
his amendment had been incorpo-
rated was defeated by only II. votes

When interrupted there by a
speaker who said the matter had
been turned over to the committee
on the presiding bishops see, to look
for place during the next three
years, Bishop Perry retorted We've
been doing something like that at
every triennial as far back as I can
remember. AS the former presiding
bishop. I think we should do some
thing about 1t this morning
Bishop Frank McElwain of Min
nesota stopped the debate by declar-
ing: That matter certainly Is fin

Perhaps the prospects for formal
action concerning Washington by
this general convention are finished,
but the relationship of Bishop Tuck
er to Washington is likely To get
closer and closer. according to in
dications cleaned from behind the
scenes here today.

Bishop Tucker Resigns
From Diocesan Post
~, -
Under New System
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS,
Star Staff Corresnondent

CLEVELAND. Oct. 8.-Presiding
Bishop Henry st. George Tucker of
the Protestant Episcopal Church to-
day rendered to the House of
Bishops his resignation as diocesan
bishop Of Virginia, effective June l
next year. His action was in con-
formity with new legislation ap-
proved at the church's 54th triennial
convention which relieves presiding
bishops of the extra burden of serv-
ing as head OF diocese.
In a brief speech, Bishop Tucker
said he felt he should resign, but he
placed the date next June in order
that he may attend the diocesan
convention before then, and say
farewell to my old friends"
Church legislation adopted at the
current general convention provides
for the continuation of Bishop
Tucker as the presiding bishop,
without necessity Of an election,
though an election still could be
held.
Meeting in an atmosphere tense
with divided opinion over the fate
OF legislation on liberaliZing mar
riage after divorce. the House of
Deputies today heard it's president,
DR. Phillips OsGood of Boston, de-
clare that he would entertain a mo-
ton for appeal from the decision of
the chair which late yesterday re-
suited in liberalized canon on re-
marriage being lost by only l12
votes.
Quotations Are Read.
Arson T. McCook, chairman of
the Committee on Dispatch of Bust
ness, read extensive quotations from
church constitutional requirements
and other precedents sustaining the
ruling of the president. Reports
were circulated that some voters had
changed their minds overnight and
that there were prospects for recon-
sideration this morning. On the
other hand, conservatives opposed
to liberalization were more conf
dent than ever that all liberalization
would be defeated and the present
canon would be retained
The action yesterday disposed of
two of the four proposals which had
been laid before the deputies. Unless
there is reconsideration OF the lib
eTalized report permitting ecclesj-
aStical authorities to exercise thei:
own judgment in permitting mar
riages by divorced persons a year
after the divorce, the deputies
planned to vote on an elaborate re-
port by the Commission on Holy
Matrimony, which contains pro
visions more liberal than the pres
ent canon.
The deputies previously had adopt
ed an amendment signed by five
members of the Committee on Can
ons. including T. E. Robertson of
Washington, which would have lib

head" for the German siege army
before Stalingrad. This is the force
which has now been encircled by
the Russian advance and consists
OF 20 German and two Rumanian
divisions.
In order to estimate the effect
on this army of the fall Of Kotel-
nikovski, it may be useful to explain
just what a railhead is. 1t is a
point at which supplies arriving by
rail are shifted to motor or air
transport for delivery to troop units.
At the railhead trains are unloaded
and returned to bases in the rear
for fresh loads.
A railhead should have a siding
capacity of from 9 to IA cars per
division to be served. This is for
handling food, forage and mail
alone. Additional siding capacity
will be required for ammunition,
engineer stores, gasoline and oil
and miscellaneous supplies.
Unloading Best Done at Night.
1t is essential that there should
be a good road net within the rail-
head area so each siding can have
proper approaches by road and
trains can be unloaded promptly
and returned to the rear. 1t takes
about three hours to unload a train
after its arrival.
1t is imperative that trains should
not be held at railhead any longer
than is absolutely necessary in or
der to reduce the net danger from
enemy air attacks For the same
reason it is better to do unloading
at night when possible, using
shielded lights giving the minimum
visibility essential for work of this
sort.
A railhead serving a number of
divisions, as at Kotelnikovski, will
require large railway yard dis
persed over considerable area.
Dispersal means wide spaces be-
tween tracks, not only to allow for
movements Of truck columns but
also to minimize danger from air
attack. A locomotive roundhouse
and some facilities for temporary
repair of locomotives and rolling
stock will be necessary.
Motor maintenance facilities for
trucks will also be required. In
addition to the personnel for all
these facilities the railhead may be
required to provide labor for the
