Neutrals Say Bombs Have Destroyed 2000 London Buildings

United Press Staff Correspondent ONDON, Sept. 17--Sprawling London, bombed for / massed German planes showed today just how hard paralyze a great metropolitan center. In 10 days every part of the city has been hit. There has been serioug damage in some sections, less important damage in others. But as he picture shifts into its proper perspective, emphasis must be | placed on London's power of resistance. Tt would be perfectly possible for a stone-deaf person, unable to hear the infernal racket each night, who lived and worked within certain sections of the city to have gone through the last 10 days without knowing anything about what had happened and without having experienced any inconvenience beyond the late delivery of his morning paper,

Nazis Attack Warehouses Meanwhile, Vichy, capital of unoccupied France, said that British bombers were engaged in incessant diving at-| tacks upon Le Havre, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk and Ostend. The bombing was on almost a 24-hour basis, according to the French reports, and great damage was said to have been done to port facilities and the armada of shipping con-| centrated by the Germans for a possible invasion attempt. | German attacks were said to have been carried out! upon Liverpool's huge food warehouses and refrigeration plants as well as London with destruction so widespread that Berlin predicted there would be a food shortage soon.

London's night defenses appeared to be improving despite the severity of last night's bombing. It was announced that seven Garman bombers had been brought down, one’ by a barrage balloon and six by anti-aircraft guns—the largest night bag of the war. Cairo indicated that an attempt probably would be made by the British fleet to cut off the Italian column from any supplies brought by sea. The road along which the Italians are advancing parallels the coast. Chungking, the temporary Chinese capital, reported that it had heard the Japanese were demanding that French Indo-China be partitioned into three zones.

But, both within and outside Germany the effect can have only temporary validity if Germany does not follow through with major military operations, Otherwise, an anticlimax is inevitable Germany refuses to give publicity to the destructive British bombing within the Reich.

Under directior. of Mr, Sharp, who was vice principal at Manual High School be‘ore he came to Howe, the faculty 1s pushing a program of mental hygiene with competition as its theme. Mr. Sharp explains that it is his laim for every boy and girl lengage in some activity at Howe, | whether on the athletic field or elsewhere. “Competition of some sort, if it doesn’t match the pupil against too great odds, helps build character IAll can't be members of athletic teams but each pupil can engage in some type of ‘contest.

Abandon Tradition, Willkie Urges Texans
AMARILLO, Tex., Sept. 17 (U. P.) Wendell L. Willkie, carrying his campaign deep into the heart of southern Democratic territory, told Texans here today that they are faced with a “conflict of traditions” and called upon them to abandon the Franklin D. Roosevelt banner in the coming election. The conflict of traditions, he said, came between the tradition of the South voting Democratic and the tradition of a President serving not more than two terms. “The only difference between this great democracy of ours—the only last untouched democracy in the {world—and totalitarianism is the continuation in office of one man,” 'he said. Mr. Willkie said Germany, Russia and Ttaly “found their indispensable man and where is their democracy.” Mr. Willkie said evervone has a high personal regard for President Roosevelt “but think of the mothball coterie of the brain trusters about him. »
