have been carried out in recent
weeks because of sabotage and
mutiny).
Following up last nights attack,
the 150th of the war on Hamburg,
American medium bombers sent the
greatest air offensive of all time
into it's seventh day with a daylight
attack this morning on an enemy
airfield at Woensdrecht in southern
Holland, 25 miles north of Antwerp.
The success of yesterdays Flying
Fortress raids on the Heinkel fac
tory at Warnemuende and ship
yards and submarine facilities at
the German naval base city of Kiel
led Brig Gen. Frederick l.. Ander-
son, chief of the Eighth Air Force
bomber command, to assert that the
battle of Germany lis swinging in
our favor
200 German Planes
Upwards of 200 German fighters
have been shot down by the Fort
resses since Saturday and many
more probably destroyed or dam
aged, Sc said, with the result that
fighter interception declined notably
as the offensive progressed.
The lives of thousands of Allied
soldiers and sailors have been saved
by the effective work that our
bomber crews have done in the last
few days. he said. They have
brought great destruction to Ger
man war industry, they have cur
tailed severely the Nazi capacity to
wage submarine warfare and they
have taken a gratifying toll of the
Luftwaffe.'
German planes struck back at
Britain feebly again last night,
dropping a few bombs on southeast
coastal districts and causing only
slight damage.
One German plane was shot down
over Britain and another was de-
stroyed by intruder aircraft over
northwest Germany.
Altogether three enemy planes
we're attacked by mosquito Intruder
over northwest Germany last night,
but smoke drifting from Hamburg
made visibility poor.
Intruder aircraft also bombed
airfelds and railway targets in
northwest Germany, Belgium, Hol-
land and France during the night.

ernorship if Dewey were moved up
to the White House. Democrats, OF
course, would like an opportunity
to put Democrat in that strategic
spot.
Democrats evidently welcome the
chance to have another political
popularity contest in New York
Republicans swept the state last
November, boosting DeWey's politi-
cal stock in big way and hurting
Democratic, New Deal and Presl-
dent Roosevelt's prestige no little.
An off year contest now might re-
verse the score.
Seeks Opinion
Thomas Curran, New York Secre-
tary of tSate, yesterday asked At
torney General Nathaniel Goldsteln
for an opinion whether the va
cancy made it mandatory upon him
to certify the office of lieutenant
governor for election next Novem-
Der. Both Curran and Goldstein are
Republicans. If Goldstein advises
Curran not to certify the office, i'm
mediate legal action is expected to
be undertaken by New York Demo-
Gratis.
This development in New York
state politics finds Democratic State
Committee Chairman James A.
Farley absent on a journey which
recently took him to Mexico. Like
wise out of the country is Charles
Poletti the 1912 Democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor who
came nearer to election than any
other of his party when Dewey led
the successful general election raid
on state Offices long held by the
opposition. Poletti, of italian extrac-
ton, is with the American forces
which landed in Sicily and is as
sumed to be member of the adj
ministrative organization set up
there to deal with the Italian
people.
Although Poletti would be the
strongest candidate, it is not likely
that he gracefully could be recalled
from the front to seek that office.
There we're reports here that Rep.
Matthew j. Merritt, D., N. Y, will
be the Democratic candidate if
there is an election.
1t is pointed out here that cleo
ton of a Democrat lieutenant gov
ernor would be embarrassing to the
Dewey forces but would not fore
close the governors nomination for
the presidency. He could accept the
nomination and make his campaign
without resigning his governorship.
If promoted to the White House
there would be federal patronage
for many of the faithful in New
York who would lose their state
Jobs to Democrats.

American Submarines
American submarines have been a
major factor in the war of attrition
against Japan which President
Roosevelt described wednesday
night. He revealed then that "the
Japs have lost more planes and
more ships than they have been able
to replace and that "the continue
Gus and energetic prosecution of the
war of attrition" would drive the
Japanese back from their over-ex-
tended lines in the Southwest Pa
cific.
AS for the Allied shipping pic
ture, the Navy Department itself
has announced the sinking of four
merchant ships this month. 1t an
nounced only one sinking for June.
But the Navy does not make public
all merchant ship sinkings, confin-
ing itself only to those cases in
which survivors have been landed
in this country. Furthermore, weeks
and sometimes months elapse be-
tween the time of the ship loss and
its announcement for publication.
President Roosevelt made it clear
Wednesday that the Allies are not
claiming the battle of the Atlantic
won merely because Of the excellent
anti-submarine record of June and
previous months.
For several months we have been
losing fewer ships by sinkings, and
we have been destroying more and
more U-boats," he said. 1--WE hope
this will continue. But we cannot
be sure. We must not lower our
guard one single Instant

Italy and to prevent anarchy.
The peace negotiations might
well, he said, be with king, a
prime minister, or a mayor of q
town.
Asked whether this meant that
he did not regard Badoglio as Fas-
cist, the president said he was not
going to discuss personalities.
Permitting quotation of his re-
marks on the possibility of Axis
leaders seeking neutral asylum, the
president noted that there were ru-
mors that Mussolini and his Fascist
leaders would attempt to escape to
neutral territory, and said that zone
day Hitler and his gang and TOTO
and his gang will be trying to es-
cape from their countries"
Il find it difficult to believe that
any neutral country would give
asylum to or extend protection to
any of them" the president said.
II can only say that the govern
ment of the United States would
regard the action by a neutral gov
eminent in affording asylum to
Axis leaders or their tools as in
consistent with the principles for
which the United Nations are fight
ing and that the United States gov
eminent hopes that no neutral gov
eminent will permit its territory to
be used as place of refuge or 9TH
erwise assist such persons in any
effort to escape their just deserts"
The president also reiterated the
firm determination of the United
Nations to punish leaders of the
Axis for their crimes against nno-
cent persons.
Text Of Speech
washington, July 30 - (U.P) -
Following is the text of President
Roosevelts statement on war Grim
inals:
On August 81, 1912, issued a
statement to the press IN winch
after referring to the crimes against
innocent people committed by the
Axis powers I stated:
THE United Nations are going to
win this war. When victory has
been achieved, it is the purpose OF
the government of the United
States as I know it is the purpose
of each of the United Nations, to
make appropriate use OF the IN
formation and evidence in respect
to the barbaric crimes of the IN
vaders, in Europe and in Asia. 1t
seems only fair that they Should
have this warning that the time
will come when they shall have to
stand in courts of law in the very
countries which they are now OPP
pressing and answer for their acts. y
On October 7, 1912, stated that
it was "the intention of this gov
eminent that the successful close OF
the war shall incIude provisions for
the surrender to the United Nations
of war criminals.
The wheels of justice have turned
constantly since those statements
were issued and are still turning.
There are now rumors that MuSso-
lini and members Of his Fascist
gang may attempt to take refuge in
neutral territory. One day Hitler
and his gang and TOTO and his
gang will be trying to escape from
their countries. find it difficult to
believe that any neutral country
would give asylum to or extend pro-
lection to any of them. I can only
say that the government of the
United States would regard the ac-

"It helps cripple the Japanese
fishing industry, BESIDES" he said,
He told how the undersea boat
under his command lurked off the
Japanese mainland within sight OF
surf bathers and city streets.
Brockman's submarine is officially
credited with sinking one aircraft
carrier, two destroyers, four mer-
chantmen and two patrol ships.
Brockman, whose home is Groton,
Conn. said he was not permitted to
reveal whether his ship had shelled
the Japanese mainland.
I'VE have been within mile OF
the japanese coast" he said. I'VE

1t was Brockman's submarine
that evacuated ID nuns from
Bougainville Island in the Solomons
last Christmas.
1--WE had heard the Japs were
harrassing women and children on
Bougainville," he said. "One night
we picked them up-14 nuns, three
wives of plantation owners, three
children and a few men.
"We turned our quarters into a
ladies boudoir."
Brockman was decorated with the
Navy cross for sinking an aircraft
carrier in the battle of Midway.

July issue of Readers Digest, and
dealt with the birth control work
of Nurse Mildred Delp, field con-
sultant for the Planned Parenthood
Association.
Chappaqua, N. y, July 30-(UP)
Dewitt Wallace, editor of Readers
Digest, said today the magazine mot
only has the right but the duty"
to publish such articles as the one
on birth control denounced today
by the National Catholic Welfare
Conference.
Readers Digest is part of the free
press of this country" Wallace said.
TT not only has the right but the
duty to present for public discus
sion various aspects of important
social questions. 1t is regrettable
that even though the Rev. DR..
Edgar Schmiedeler disagrees with
the point OF view represented in the
article on birth control in our July
issue, he is unwilling to defend
unto death our right to print it.
1.-THE Readers Digest has received
many hundreds of letters praising
this article. 1t has received only a
few protesting the ideas expressed
in it. We believe that the great
majority of the public favor volun-
tary parenthood.

sues. We are confident our readers
will give us their endorsement in
doing So"
