Today's action followed a night in which German |
raiders for the first time in many nights left London almost untouched. Other parts of Britain suffered, however, particularly two towns in the northwest. The Midlands region and a town in the northeast and regions of South Wales. The German High Command asserted that these at-| tacks were directed against Liverpool and neighboring Birkenhead, airfields in London and Suffolk counties, industrial works at Felixstone, an aircraft plant at Weybridge and Port facilities at Dundee, Leith, and Hartlepool. |

Just Excuse, London Says
|
In London the suggestion of a “secret varnish” was termed a German excuse for the failure of Berlin searchlights crews to spot the British planes. Italy, reporting on the war in the Near East, claimed that Marsa Matruh, the British Egyptian base, was bombed heavily. Italian planes also bombed Malta, Arbo and El Bhai, near Garissa in Kenya and Italian forces attacked Buna in Kenya. A British bombing of Mogadiscio was admitted.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Leigh and Olivier Wed HOUSE MINORITY
OPPOSES DRAFT
Hoosier Signs Report Saying Bill 1s Step Toward Dictatorship.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (U. P). Bight members of the House Military Affairs Committee denounced the Burke-Wadsworth Conscription Bill today in a minority report, asserting that it would destroy the American form of government and lead to a totalitarian, military economy, The minority said that conscription of manpower in peace time would be “a distinct and dangerous departure”—a first step that would
| inevitably lead to proposals to “con-
script the farmers, conscript industry, conscript labor to run industry and conscript the wealth of the nation.” Five of the eight signatories were members who voted in committee vesterday to report the bill favorably. The minority report was filed as Committee Chairman Andrew J. May asked the House Rules Committee to approve the draft measure for debate beginning next Tuesday. Concurrently, Rep. May filed a majority report from the military committee on the draft bill. Tt

Hoosier One of Signers
Rep. May was instructed by com=mittee members to ask for two days’ general debate—in contrast to the Senate's 14—and to leave the bill open for amendments. He estimated that such a rule would make it possible to pass the bill sometime Friday so that it could go to conference with the Senate the following week, Five of the signers of the minority report explained that they voted in committee to report the bill to the House because they thought the entire membership should have a chance to debate and act on so im=portant a measure.

He would be taking serious risks if he attempted to annex more Rumanian territory at the expense of a war with Germany, not only because of German military superior ity but also because he might find himsel{ involved in a simultaneous war in the Far East, But Hitler and Mussolini, too, would be moving into a highly explosive zone if they engaged in hostilities against Russia while conducting their war against the British Empire, Hitler, Mussolini and Staln all face a quandary and the
uncertainties which now exist are beneficial to Britain. Germany's full offensive power cannot be concentrated against the British, Hitler now must hold back heavy reserves because of the Russian enigma, Other ways than warfare may be open to Stalin to cause new confusions for Germany and Italy, A revolution in Rumania might be fomented, leading to a general Danubian war with Russia urging Bulgaria to obtain more of Dubrudja than the Nazis give her. It has been a consistent Russian policy te fish in such troubled waters, Toon. Russia could give a free hand to Turkey, releasing the Turks from their uneasiness over Stalin's dis pleasure if they gave full help to Britain in the Middle East It Stalin were secretly to inform the Turks of his benevolence toward them, it would be a blow to totalitarian military plans involving the Bastern Mediterranean and Suez.
