The air ministry reported tonight that German planes flew over the Thames estuary vicinity shortly before midnight. The air ministry said that anti aircraft guns opened up on the German planes and fighter planes went up to met them. It reported there was no attack by the Ger man planes upon shipping. The statement by the ministry followed reports from the south east coast that German planes had roared along the coast. Heavy antl-alrcrnft fire was directed at them. The planes were tho first Ger man craft to appear along the English southeast coast since the nazi occupation of south Norway. Dispatches from Berlin, however, had quoted German official sourc es as threatening to launch big scale aerial and submnrlne war fare on Britain from the new Ger man bases In Denmark and Nor way, which are much closer to the British Isles.

"Both" Seen Possible He charged that new dealers "parade the spectre of reaction, hoping to persuade the people that we cannot have both social progress and sound government," then added he is convinced "we can have both" but the "only way we can make our social progress secure is through sound govern ment." He called warnings that repub licans will repeal social legislation of the last seven years "fraudu dent," and declared that the party "will support it by making it a workable social service; not a peg on which bureaucracy may hang its h'at." "An admlnstration which passes a law for sociul security for the employed has solved only part of the problem," he went on. "The larger part is to provide economic security for the unemployed by giving them jobs. That major part of the problem no new deal ad mlnstration can solve. That must be undertaken by an administra tion that believes there is growth ahead an administration that be lieves America has a future. After Work "When the unemployed go back to work, it will be time enough for any party to claim credit for its contribution to social progress." Dewey said the director of the bureau of old-age insurance ad mitted before a house appropra tions committee that 7,000,000 pay ments into the fund were uniden tified. "The director minimized the Im portance of his statement," Dewey went on, "but I cannot minimize seven million tax payments which have not been placed to the credit of the workers who paid for them. I cannot minimis it when even one worker may find when he needs his old-age insurance that an incompetent administra tion has no record of the payments It took from him on the promise of protecting his old age!" OHIO FLOODED MARIETTA, O., April 20 OP) Floods gripped the Ohio valley from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati tonight and turned southern Ohio Into a maze of lakes, isolating en tire towns. Thousands were homeless. Troops Of 3 Nations Mass For Nazi Thrust (CONTINUED, FROM PAGE 1) Artillery and machine gun em placements were said to have been made ready by the nazis. Bergen zone Frontier dis patches to Stockholm newspapers said that allied troops had landed as far south as Laerdal, on Sogne fjord, north of Bergen, but these reports were not otherwise con firmed. Landings there would give the allied troops good high way communications toward Oslo. Resistance Overcome Olso zone German troops were believed to be in possession of Hamar and Elversum after over coming resistance by Norwegian forces, which were reported to have thrown the nazis back at one time. The military situation at Elevrsum was confused and con tradictory reports referred to the Germans losing ground when the Norwegians counter-attacked but most fragmentary dispatches In dicated that the nazis at least con trolled the Hamar-Elvesum sec tor. Narvik zone Communication with the far north was almost cut off and it was believed that the Germans had received consider able reinforcements by air, in cluding field artillery. Last re ports said the nazis still held the town of Narvik and much of the surrounding countryside. ' Train's Twisted Steel Searched For Bodies LITTLE FALLS, N.

President Urges 'Pair Of Liberals' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) November we must nominate a liberal pair of candidates, rut-' ning on a liberal and forward looking platform." . Names TJnmentioned Not once did Mr. Roosevelt mention names. He came closest to it, when he said:' "I am not speaking tonight of world affairs. Your government is keeping a cool head and a steady hand. "We are keeping out of the wars that are going on in Europe and in Asia, but I do not sub scribe to the preachment of a republican aspirant for the presi dency who tells you, in effect, that the United States and the people of the United States should do nothing to try to bring about a better order, a more secure order, of world peace when the time comes."

Thirteen Motion Cars in ThdhuhTTMiI Under one management, the Ford Motor Company has built and sold 28,000,000 Ford cars. No other maker even approaches this total. No other has so many cars on the road today. How has it been done? ' Not by building a "cheap" car. People do not go on buying n "cheap" product for thirty seven years; Not by squeezing workers to achieve a low price. The Ford Motor Company took the lead years ago in paying higher wages, shortening hours and improving working conditions. Not by monopolistic methods. Henry Ford has always en couraged competition. He has made his company's inventions and technical advances avail, able without charge to any one who wanted to adopt them. Free competition in the in dustry has presented a constant challenge to find ways of offer ing better and better value to the public. The Ford Motor Company holds the lead in total number of cars built and sold because it has met this challenge with more than ordinary vision and skill backed by a set of busi ness principles which the American people respect and approve. As these 28,000,000 cars have been produced, the company's experience has continued to accumulate. Its facilities have continued to increase. Profits have been consistently turned back into the business to pro vide the means for offering still greater value. The Ford Motor Company today knows how to build better car than it has ever built it has the resources to build it and it is building it- In the few moments it takes you to read this, half a don of the finest Ford cars that have yet been built part" the twenty-ninth million w" come off the assembly line' FORD MOTOR COMPAM' Visit th, neir Ford Expositions at the tiro Fairs. ., 1 ork and San Francisco, 1940 59 EAST 10TH immons-Ke&nda!!
