Expect R. A. F. Offensive
Expectation seemed growing Steadily that within the next few weeks the Royal Air Force bombing raids might assume dramatic proportions. Arthur Greenwood, a labor leader in the inner war cabinet, said that “Western Germany and the Ruhr have been far more heavily punished than any place” in Britain. The Germans today denied the British reports that an invasion attempt was broken up a month ago as “a typical British maneuver. - . « It seems odd the British would have kept the matter secret so long.” The Naval High Command said that Nazi submarines had sunk 3l British ships in the last few days. The Germans today described a naval battle between Nazi destroyers and British cruisers near Brest on Thursday, Berlin said its destroyers sped in under hostile fire and hit one cruiser with a torpedo, causing flames and an explosion. The British claimed to have chased the destroyers back to Brest. In the Far East, there were perBistent new Japanese threats directed against British and American co-operation with China.

The quotas will supply 788,999 of the 800,000 trainees who will be called during {the next 12 months from among the (estimated 16,963,000 who registered. | Prior to announcement of the iquotas, Mr. Roosevelt signed legis|lation granting draftees relief from |debt and insurance payments and jother civil obligations while they are | serving. : A simple “rule of thumb” based on the estimated ability of the men {involved to be trained as first class | fighting men was the prime consideration in drafting the physical regulations, officials.said.

This is the greater crisis, for it may mean the preservation of the last fortress of democracy on earth.” Asserting that the no-third term’ tradition has been built up over a century and a half, Mr. Johnson said, “Now. in secrecy and stealth, with the aid or all the hoss-ridden cities of America, it is broken Wake ° up, Americans, rush to protect what protects your liberties!

“But to match the German colossus an immense industrial effort must now be undertaken. The greatest air armada the world has ever seen must be assembled from various parts of the world to stop the creeping blight of Naziism from spreading not only over Europe but into other continents. “Ships must be built not merely for naval purposes, but to carry the armaments and the troops that must take their part in the strategic plan that*will unfold in the year or years immediately ahead.”
Sacrifice Required
The “double task” of helping Britain and at the same time carrying out their own defense program will require of Americans “unusual! measures and some interference with ordinary life,” Sir Walter continued. “I believe that the American people are ready and anxious to make that sacrifice,” he said. “With
and with the free peoples of the | Empire at our side, we shall save Britain by our exertions and the world by our example.”
Author Denies Legion Charge
CARMEL, Cal, Oct: 19 (U. P)). —Martin Flavin, playwrightnovelist who wrote “The Criminal Code” and other Broadway hits, accused the Carmel American Legion Post today of ‘adopting methods of the Gestapo, Hitler and Stalin.” Mr. Flavin had been denied membership in the post on grounds of his alleged un-Amer-icanism. The charges were aired when letters between Mr. Flavin and the Legion were published in the Carmel Cymbal. The playwright alleged his application had been denied by the Post Commander who was quoted as saying the rejection “was based on a charge of un-Americanism.” Mr. Flavin heatedly denied the accusation and demanded the charge either be withdrawn or he be given full opportunity to answer. The Legion letter said his application was denied for no specific cause “but there were not sufficient vote cast in your favor to admit you... .”
