Swastika Ships Soar
Over Thames Estuary
LONDON, April 20. (U. 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.

progress." then went on to cite
anti-slavery legislation, income
tax, election of senators by popu
lar vote, civil service legislation,
the Sherman anti-trust act, crea
tion of the commerce and labor
department, the pure food and
drug act and the railway labor act
as examples of progress under re
publican leadership.
"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!"

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. '

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."

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-
