Heinkel - 177, Biggest Bomber, Raises Old Bogey. ‘By DAVID M. NICHOL

Popyright, 14 by T Daily News, . LONDON, Sept.

Inc.

Luftwaffe’s heaviest bomber, : in' operations over England, has again raised the old bogey of bombs on! Eastern and Western American . Cities. There is no official confirmation of his giant's participation but the authoritative journal, Aeroplane, says that a single aircraft of this type, positively identified, ‘dropped bombs in a ‘daylight attack on Bristol on . Aug. 28 from a height of 23,000 feet. The HE-177 has a wingspread of 103 feet, slightly more than the Lancaster, the largest royal air force bomber regularly in use. Its bomb foad is believed to be about 10,000 pounds- but Nazi technical journals ‘hint that it may be much increased with “assisted takeoff.” It is not clear exactly what is meant by this reference.

Four Motors, Two Propellers

A distinguishing feature of the HE-177 is its use of four motors, two in the tandem on each wing, and only two four-bladed propellers, giving the appearance of a twinengined aircraft. The only larger

bomber used by the Luftwaffe so}

far “has been the now obsolete Junkers-89, an adaptation of the Lufthansa’s: commercial liners, of which only 30 are believed to have been built before the model was discontinued. Reports persist that Junkers is now developing a new . giant substratosphere bomber but no confirmation is available. The number of 177s in operation is not believed to be great. The factories where they are built were one of the R. A. Fs chief targets in the concentrated four-day raids on Rostock last May. The HE-177 actually could fly to New York and return to Nazi bases in Brest or Norway on the basis of available information here, but the bomb load on such a flight would be only about 1000 pounds. By contrast, the Lancasters raiding Germany have a maximum bomb load 0£-16,000 pounds and normally carry ,Bix or seven tons, depending on Sarge and distance.

By DAVENPORT STEWARD Times Special Writer ATLANTA, Ga. Sept. 7.—On {will decide whether they're going to put up with four more years of “OI’ Gene” Talmadge, the red-gal-lused campaigner of Sugar creek. Governor - Eugene Talmadge is standing for re-election on a platform ‘based on his record during almost six years in the governor's

pn) Attorney General Ellis Arnall, has ja many-planked platform which

amounts to a promise of better gov-

ernment. If Talmadge is- returned 0 his present office, he will be in for the four-year term which he engineered through the state legislature. He's now rounding out his third twoyear term. The Talmadge-Arnall fight for the governership is. the bitterest campaign in many a year of Georgia politics. Most of the mud filling the air down here is being tossed by Talmadge, but the best and I stickiest variety is being dished out by the Arnall camp.

Look at Record

There doesn’t seem to be anything in Arnall’s past for the Talmadge faction to ‘wash in public, but there’s plenty on the record | against Talmadge, a political extrovent whom - the late Senator Huey P. Long .once considered for partnership in a dreamed-of presidential campaign. Georgia is plastered with the campaign posters of both Talmadge and Arnall. Typical of the campaign is the Arnall poster near the Tennessee line. This was smeared by vandals, but some enterprising Arnall supporter posted under the smeared picture a‘ printed sign, “You can smear the picture but you can't smear the man.” Tal madge posters proclaim: “He kept his promises. Let’s keep him.”

Both Wave Flag

Both candidates are for God and country, but Talmadge got around to including the entire nation’s welfare a little late. Patriotism and the red herring of the racial issue are being flaunted by Talmadge. Early in the campaign the Arnall faction reminded one and all that in 1933, Herman Talmadge, son of the governor, made a trip to Japan at the expense of the Japanese gov-

This prompted some Arnallite to write the Atlanta Journal that in the last ‘war Gene was down on Sugar creek, armed with a frog gig, looking. for German U-boats. There has been on further reference to Arnall’s draft status. He is married and has a son, Alvan, 4, Talmadge often refers to the press as “them lying newspapers.” As publisher of The Statesman—“Editor—The People; Associate Editor— Eugene Talmadge” —he doubtless considers it unbiased.

The Talmadge faction frequently refers to the Arnall-Rivers “plunderbund.” Arnall, however, hewed to ‘the law and the indictments against former Governor E. D. Rivers never touched him. Since Rivers went out and Talmadge got back in, the Arnall-Rivers friendship has. cooled, Rivers reportedly being peeved that Arnall did not prove himself more of a pal at the time the grand jury was throw- and Rivers got In. jury was throw-

impelled him to say: “I think the Boche has been stopped on this front. What has taken place here the last two or three days is significant and perhaps constitutes a turning point in the war. “This is practically the first major

Mr. Willkie made this statement

He supplemented his statement here, as he prepared to leave for Ankara, by saying: “I think they'll stop this fellow Rommel. The situation out here looks good.
