BERLIN REPORTS
BOMBS DROP UPON
FACTORIES, SHIP
Berlin, Aug. 22. W The
German high command fa id to
day that 15 airports and numer
ous industrial plants, as well as
port and rail facilities, were at
tacked yesterday by German
planes. .
The communique said bomb
hits were observed on industrial
plants at Skegness, Great Yar
mouth, Witney, Coventry and
Bournemouth, as well as on the
port facilities of Bridlington.
It also claimed that German
fliers bombed a ship in the
yards at Southampton, and an
other in a convoy on the cast
coast of England. It said an air
plane factory southeast of Lon
don and an armament factory
near Brighton were bombed.
The communique acknowl
edged that British airmen had
raided north Germany, but in-
sisted they caused only minor
damage. The British lost seven
planes yesterday, the high com
mand said, while the Germans
lost six.
German air activity over Brit
ain up to noon today was limited
to the customary armed recon
naissance flights, informed
sources said.
Authoritative German spokes
men declared the Nazi "total
blockade" of Britain would make
it impossible for the reich to
give assurance of safe conduct
to any United States ships which
might try to remove children
from England.

But these spokesmen pointed,
out mines form an essential part ;
of the blockade of Britain, and
mines which have been laid can
not be moved. Therefore, they
argued, the children conceivably
would be exposed to greater dan
ger on an ocean crossing than
if they were kept at home.

What Would J.ff.rson Dot
To the Editor:
No Republican has any doubt
as to how he or she should vote
in 1940. but many intelligent
and conscientious Democrats
are puzzled. This message is pri
marily for them.
New Dealers have dubbed the
third term issue as "trivial".
Thomas Jefferson didn't think
so. All voters know that In re
fusing a third term he helped
strengthen a precedent set by
Washington, but how many
know that he foresaw the situ
ation that confronts the Demo
cratic party today, and left
strong statements to guide vot
ers of any party in such- an in
stance? Can any true follower
of Jefferson vote for the New
Deal candidates in iiwot er-i
talnly Jefferson would not have
done so:
Here are his words:
"If the principle of rotation
be a sound one, as I conscienti
ously beliove it to be. with re
spect to this office,, no pretext
should ever be permitted to dis
pense with it, because there
never will be a time when real
difficulties will not exist and
furnish a plausible pretext for
dispensation." (Written in J 809).
"The example of four presi
dents, voluntarily retiring at
the end of their eighth year,
and the progress of public opin
ion that the principle is salu
tary, have given it in practice
the force of precedent and us
age, in so much that should s
president consent to be a can
didate for a third election. I
trust he would be rsjecled en
this demonstration of ambitious
views." (Written by Thomas
Jefferson in 1821).
True Democrats need feel no
hesitancy in voting against a
third term candidate,
that the founder of their party
would have done the same!

-'IriThe:-:K'
Day'si
By Frank Jenkins
THERE is material for serious
thought in this dispatch
from London today (Wednes
day):
"Unofficial but well-informed
sources indicated today that the
British government is SEEKING
A MILITARY ALLIANCE with
the United States."
Radio Highlights
MBS brings two speeches of
interest tonight. At 8:15, Lt.
Gen. Hugh H. Drum will give
a "critique of the first army ma
neuvers from ogdensourg,
N.Y.. at 7:15, Rep. T. V. Smith
of Illinois will discuss "The Alien
in Times of War." He is spon
sored by the Committee for the
Protection of the Foreign Born.
The Drum speech comes at
the same time as a London broad
cast by Arthur Mann. This will
be recorded and broadcast at 7,
with a Rome newscast a half
hour later.
NO entangling alliances is one
of our traditions. No third
term for any president is another.
Are we getting ready to throw
them ALL OVERBOARD?
THE London' dispatch (Assoc!
ated Press) continues:
"The plain truth of the mat
ter." said a neutral diplomat,
"is that neither Great Britain
nor the United States has a pow
erful friend left anywhere In the
world. It behooves them to get
together and make the best of
the sorry situation.
Hindsight (always clear and
plain) tells us that if we had
followed Theodore Roosevelt's
advice to "walk softly and car
ry a big stick" we would now
have more friends and the situ
ation would be less sorry.

GERMAN tactics in the air at
tack on Britain appear to
be changing. Instead of massed
formations of planes they are
now sending over large number
of LONE bombers, which dive
from the clouds, drop their
bombs and run.
If you shoot ducks, you will
understand why. Massed flocks
are easier to hit than singles
flying like a bullet.
rS 'THE "African front, the
J British abandon Somaliland
to the Italians as they inti
mated at the start they would
probably do.
The British hope is to retain
control of the Mediterranean,
thus shutting off supplies from
the Italian forces in Africa and
ultimately starving them out.
Florida has 43.8 acres of wa
ter for each fishing license, ex
cluding the ocean.
