Britons Eager To
Mop Up on Nazis,
Analyst Observes
Civilian Spirit of Offensive
Found Everywhere; Nation is
Posed for 2nd Front Signal
J By DcWITT MacKENZIE
; (Wide World War Analyst)
' LONDON. Sept. 30. The most
Important thing your correspon
dent can report from his initial
glance at this wartime Britain
is that John Bull and his wife
and youngsters that is, the civil
ian rank and file not only are
amazingly fit but grimly anxious
to get speedily ahead with the
bloody task before them.
; The spirit of offensive is every
where. At the risk of being called fan
ciful, I'm going to confess to be
ing mightily impressed during the
short time I've been here by an
odd circumstance: 1 haven't seen
a single fat, or even plump, per
son. Now, that is a matter of Im
portance when you figure out
why it is so, for while Britons
as a whole don't run to avoirdu
, pois, there always have been
plenty of stout persons about,
and the traditional John Bull is
ample of waist.
I don't mean to picture n peo
plegaunt from hunger. They're
well enough fed, though on pret
ty tight rations, but we have here
. a whole population which by the
exigencies of war has trained
down to the fineness of athletes.
Along with this there's another
thing which gives pause for
thought. I get the Impression
the people have reached the point
where there might be a danger
of overtraining. They have been
so long set, tensely waiting for
the word to go get Hitler, that
they are beginning to suffer a
bit from the strain like a runner
who is posed for n tardy-starting
run.
That is a condition which can
' only be cured when the allies are
ready for all-out offensive action.
In their hearts, the iirillsh peo
ple already have started the big
drive to finish off Hitler. They
ore as eager as anyone else to
slash through any possible de
lays. You begin to understand this
when you know that here in Brit
ain every man, woman and child
Is a soldier. They've only one
Ideato beat the enemy. They've
reached the point where their
money and other possessions of
price don't mean much any more.
Thanks

age during school op

Roosevelt Asks
More Navy Funds
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.
(API President Roosevelt asked
congress today for 2,862,000,000
additional funds now for the navy
to construct airplanes which the
budget bureau said were neces
sary for "the prosecution of the
war."
The request, bringing to S5,593,
154,308 the extra funds sought
for the navy within the last two
weeks, was among the nine esti
mates for additional funds the
president requested for various
departments. The total request
ed today was approximately $3,
4(10,000,000. The others included $000,000,-
(W0 for war housing and, $43,000,-
000 for the treasury department.
I he navy request, which the
house appropriations committee
arranged to give Immediate con
sideration for inclusion In a defi
ciency bill expected to be sent to
the floor next week, would In
crease to $20,000,000,000 the to
tal cash supplied the sea service
for the fiscal year ending next
June 30.
Included in the additional funds
the president requested on Sep
tember 21 was $100,000,000 lor
arming merchant ships.

scats and not lose any of their
own to organize the next house).
Net Gain Predicted
Johnson said there were about
40 democrats and as many repub
lican Incumbents who won in
HMO by a margin of 500 votes or
less.
"Those seats are all In the
doubtful territory," he said. "Wo
may lose some, but we hope to
gain at least as many as we lose.
We probably will lose a few along
the eastern seaboard, but make
Ihem up in the west."
The Ok la human said he be
lieved It likely his parly would
gain as many as five additional
members from California, whose
present delegation Is now made
up of nine democrats and nine re
publicans with two vacant seats
formerly held by democrats.
Press Control Threat Seen
Gannett, publisher of a Roches
ter,' N. V., newspaper, said free
dom of the press was being threat
ened and that Important news
was being "huld back needlessly."
"I maintain that to win this
war, we must keep t he people in
formed and thus strengthen their
morale," he declared, adding that
for a long time there had been
"a deliberate plan by the admin
istration to smear, weaken anil
destroy our newspapers because
they have dared to criticise new
dealism."
"The radio," he continued, "is
under control because It is li
censed. Freedom of speech over
the air is being increasingly re
stricted. The next step Is to con
trol the press.
"The pending stilt against the
Associated Press has this object
ive. If the A. P. can be made a
public utility then there will be
removed the last barrier In the
way of putting all wire service
under some government commis
sion. Then government control
tightens and freedom of the press
perishes.

Is fast disappearing under the
pretext that war demands con
trol." Compromise Ends

Churchill Admits
LONDON, Sept. 30. (AP)-J-The
ullled invasion test at Dieppe
met tank barriers of unforeseen
strength and the attackers' losses
were "very nearly half the total"
of the troops Involved, Prime
Minister Churchill said, in the
house of commons today.
As at the first meeting of the
reconvened house yesterday,
when the prime minister empha
sized the undeslrability of specu
lation on the time and place of a
second front, his reports were In
answer to a battery of question
ers. ,
Churchill said the military
force commander at Dieppe had
described the support given by
the RAF for the operations there
as "faultless."
The RAF fought the greatest
air battle of all time over the
coastal town, destroying nearly
100 German planes for certain
and possibly bringing down many
more, Churchill said.
Nazi Bomb Slays 22.
Twenty boys and two teachers,
including Miss Charlotte Mar
shall, 27-yearold head mistress,
were known dead and rescue
workers toiled on today in the
belief others might be burled in
the debris of a boys' school in
southern England which was
wrecked yesterday by a heavy
German bomb. Eighteen other
boys were reported missing.
Tin? blast injured 34 boys. The
victims were among about 70 stu
dents in the wood and brick build
ing when the naz.1 plane attacked.
Hoys who escaped told police
the bomb which destroyed the
school fell into the fireplace and
did not explode immediately.
Miss Marshall shouted to the
boys to run . Those who did so
escaped, but the teacher stayed
behind.

Open World Series

best against the resplendent Yan
kees. Which might, or might not,
be significant.
Choice of Ruffing Surprises.
There was, to tell the truth, an
agreeable surprise in St. Louis
last night when the word arriv
ed that Ruffing had been named
by Manager Joe McCarthy to hurl
the first game for the Yanks.
For some olwcure reason, the
locals decided the Cards were
getting a big break in facing an
old-timer like Ruffing In the
first heat. They suggested, actu
ally, that McCarthy was "con
ceding" the opener to the Car
dinals. He realized, they said,
that he couldn't lick Coop
er, so lie was sacrificing Ruffing.
Wait! Joe McCarthy does not
play baseball that way. If Mc
Carthy did not think that Rut
flng, old as he is, had the best
chance of trouncing the Cardi
nals today, he would have nomi
nated the biggest winner on his
staff, Ernie Bonham, to toss his
fork ball al the Cardinals. The
Cardinals had thought they would
lace Ilonham, winner of 21 games
this year, in today's starter.
Last team to conquer the Yan
kees In a world series was the
Cardinals of ltrjti, who had an
out fielder named Billy .South
worth, now the -111 year-old mana
ger of the current Cardinals.
Since then, the Yankees have
won eight world championships,
defeating every team In the Na
tional league with the exception
of Boston and the Phils. They
have registered 31 triumphs, tak
ing four series In four straight.
St. I-ouis fans loyal to the Car
dinals are furious over their in
ability to get series tickets ex
cept through scalpers. They are
bombarding newspapers with let
ters and telephone calls. Explain
ing the Cardinals' policy, Sam
Breailon. president of the club,
said approximately 17.000 seats

Nazis Ready To
Greet 2nd Front,
Hitler Declares
BERLIN, (from German broad
easts, Sept. 30. (AP) Adolf Hit
ler told his people today that
we believe that we shall continue j
to defeat our enemies until final
victory is ours."
He assured the German nation
that Stalingrad was bound to fall.
Hitler's address, his customary
winter relief campaign speech to
the nazi party, broke a five
months' silence.
(On the same occasion last Oc
tober 4, Hitler told the nazis that
"now it can be declared that the
enemy is broken and will never
rise again.")
Hitler declared that if the Brit
ish try again to invade Europe,
no matter where, "they can deem
themselves lucky if they stay for
nine hours on the continent, as
at Dieppe, for we have made
thorough preparations to wel
come them."
(The Germans have persisted
in the theory that the big cam
mando raid on Dieppe last Au
gust 19 was an actual invasion
attempt.)
"We are determined to hold
this year what we have and to at
tack where we believe it to be
necessary, Hitler went on.
Brands Foe As "Idiot"
"For our enemies, it Is nothing
if we take Stalingrad, if we
pierce through to the Caucasus,
if we capture the Ukraine and the
Don and if we gain grain and oil
for Europe.
"But If they are able to make
a landing and painfully succeed
In keeping this foothold for nine
hours, this is for them an extra
ordinary sign of the force which i
the British empire is able to
bring up. . .
"If I had an enemy of great
military caliber I could figure out
where he would attempt to attack
but as I have to deal with an
enemy who is a military idiot one
cannot say where the invasion at
tempts will be made."
At the start of his speech, Hitler
turned to the "Atlantic charter,"
wliieh he called "a stupidity which
will bo valid for only a couple of
years and will be eliminated by
hard facts."
During the German break
through to the Don river, Hitler
declared, 75 soviet divisions were
desl royed.
lie enumerated these as the
most Important war developments
of recent months:
Germany has becone safely en
trenched on the Black sea;
Kerch and Sevastopol (harriers
to conquest of the Crimea) have
been taken;
Tobruk again is in German
hands.
Chance to Upset
Jap Drive Muffed,
Adm. Hart Charges
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.
(API Admiral Thomas C. Hart,
former commander of allied
naval forces in (he western Pa
cific, believes that army air
fighters failed in the first day of
the battle over Luzon and thus
missed a chance to cripple Ja
pan's drive to Java.
illart, in an article in the Oc
tober 3 issue of the Saturday Ev
ening Post, released today, also
asserted that "fighters based on
Oaiiu aerdromes missed their
j big chance "during the Pearl
liarDor attack.
The navy "erred" at Pearl har
bor, he added, "in presenting so
many targets in such small
space, under the tense condi
tions prevailing in earlv Decem
ber. Hart, now a member of the
navy's policy making general
board, made the statements in
what the Post called "an ap
praisal of our mistakes and our
virtues."
He said the Japanese had to
conquer Luzon as the first step
toward Java because it was the
strongest island in the Philip
pines and "the Japs could not
leave this power unimpaired on
their flanks."
"This was the place and the
time to have beaten our enemy
in the air," he wrote. "On those
tit-Ids were more than twice as
many P-10's as the A. V. G. ever
had. but again we failed to take
much toll of the Japanese
planes. That first day or so was
our chance ill the air. and we
missed it. From there onward it
was backward all the way, on
the sea. on the land, under the
sea and over both."
Sound Sleeper
KANSAS CITY Thomas
Smith, 55, sat on a downtown
curb to rest and fell asleep.
Awakened by a sharp pain In
his left foot, he was taken to the
hospital where examination re
vealed a fractured bone.
"I guess a car must have run
over me," he speculated.
Huge Losses Fail to
Halt Stalingrad Siege
(Continued from page 1.)
Invaders launched repeated, fu
tile attacks to widen a wedge In
Stalingrad's northwest section.
' "The enemy suffered particu
larly heavy losses in trying to
capture one height," the Russian
command said. "In this battle,
the enemy lost over 700 men."
Red Star said the Germans,
fearing sudden night attacks,
were sending rockets flaring
through the skies and floating
down by parachutes to light the
battle scene.
While acknowledging the grav
ity of the situation within Stalin
grad, Red Star declared that Rus
sian troops had repulsed nazi
shock forces which knifed into a
factory district on the northwest
outskirts Monday.

Germans for the past 11 months
around Rzhev, a key nazi strong
