No. R. A.F.Roars Through Defenses Of Berlin to Bomb War Plants; Nafi Planes Batter at London +Six Massed Attacks Reported Fokker’s Amsterdam Factory Blasted; Invasion Ports Hit B the Associated Press. LONDON, Oct. 2—Heavy British bombers, roaring past the encircling air defenses of Berlin, pounded a machinery - manufacturing suburb northwest of the German capital last night, the Air Ministry said to- day, and in at least one instance sent parts of an electric equipment factory sky-high. Attacks on a mu- nitions factory in Berlin also were reported. In the glare of the explosions far below, the ministry said, the R. A. F. planes moved back and forth across that section of Berlin. un- loading high explosives and incen- diary bombs on plants vital to the Nazi prosecution of the war. North of Duesseldorf, at the little town of Sterkrade, a large fuel plant was set on fire. the ministry said, and another building burst into flames. An explosion sent blasts of hot air upward. Amsterdam Plant Blasted. A British airman, gliding high over the region. dropped a stick of high explosives on the targets marked out in the brilliant light and, wheeling, made for Amster- dam, where he emptied his load on the Fokker airplane works. which previously had been hit by R. A. F raiders. At Gelsenkirchen. another Ruhr Valley town hammered many times by the R. A. F.. the British fivers said they started fires which they could still see when they were 60 miles away on their homeward flight The flames lighted the way for oncoming raiders, who hurled down fresh loads of incendiaries Down on the highly important railroad center of Cologne the R. A. F. planes swooped, leaving in their wake great leaping tongues of flames, the ministry said. Above the drumming of their motors the pilots said they could hear the dull bursts of fresh explosions and over their shoulders see new vivid bursts against the dark sky. Later pilots observed a large fire on the northeast edge of the town, the ministry said, while others saw two big fires glowing in the darkness. Rail Centers Hammered. ‘These Cologne raids also included attacks on a power station and a railway yard. Still carrying on their aerial de- struction, the British hammered rail centers at Hamm, Soest, Duisberg and Gremberg, Over Hamm the R. A. F. pilots saw large fires and explosions. At Duisberg a steady red glow. ahich marked the horizon to later ap- proaching planes. suddenly gave way to a bright green as obombs crashed against the power station. At Hammstede Airdrome and the Veere seaplane base in Holland the British hurled high explosives and incendiaries, the ministry said “From very shortly after dark last night until well after midnight. the bomber forces kept up their “harass- ing attacks against potential in- vasion bases on the Dutch and French coasts,” the ministry stated. Summary of Results. The ministry’s bulletin summed up these results of the aerial raids: Le Havre—Twice raided within an hour by separate forces of bombers. High explosives struck the Carnot Basin and quayside of the tidal har- A big explosion. Dunkerque—Sticks of heavy cali- | ber bombs fell across the docks and main basin. Incendiary bombs started fires in the dock area. Boulogne—Direct hits on No. 4 and No. 7 basins. Nazi aircraft attacked a British bomber and were repelled. The bomber, hit by anti- aircraft and machine gun fire, dropped its bombs and came home safely. Flushing—Docks hit with high ex- plosives and incendiaries. Cap Gris Nez—Long-range gun emplacements “received special at- tention.” Bombs struck close to emplacements and near searchlight batteries. Four Berlin Explosions. [ The successful bombing of the electric equipment factory in Berlin | was reported by one of the British pilots who said “four terrific explo- | sions” were seen after he dropped his load on the plant. So big was the explosion, the pilot said, that his plane was lighted up and the factory itself was “clear- | ly identified.” | The Air Ministry’s bulletin, ampli- fying an earlier communique, said | the R. A. F. planes flew over a north- | west suburb of Berlin—"That part of the city which is chiefly concerned | in the manufacture of heavy ma-| chinery.” Stations Go Off Air. | London radio listeners heard the German stations at Hamburg, | Bremen and other cities go off the| air before midnight and interpreted | this as indicating raid alarms there. The attack on close-at-hand Nazi| bases across the Strait of Dover started before midnight. Observers on the Kent cliffs saw the flash of German anti-aircraft| fire and the swinging beams of | searchlights trying to pick out the British bombers high in the clouds overhead. The French coast was| shrouded with light mist. | Nuzis;CIaimed Delaying; U. S. Couriers in France | By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, Oct.

Amerfcan efforts to recover more than 100 American-built war planes lying idle on the French island of Martinique in the Caribbean were reported in diplomatic quarters to- dey. A series of fierce air battles lasted | from early morning until almost dark as the Germans struck not only | at London and Southeast England, | but also at Southwest England, | | South Wales and Essex. At times the roar of invading planes could be heard, but always | to the accompainment of heavy anti-aircraft fire.

Foreigners Ciontroil | War Supplies Firms InU. 5., Report Says | S. E. C. Finds Huge Share Of Wealth in Hands Of Three Families Several United States companies which supply strategic war ma- terials for this country are under foreign control. the Senate Monop- oly Investigating Committee was told today in a report. The report, prepared confidential- ly under direction of the Securities and Exchange Commission, delves into the control of about 200 large American industries. The report disclosed that three families—the Du Ponts. the Rockefellers and the Mellons—have total stockholdings which enable them to control a huge share of industrial wealth in this country. 1 Of the 200 great industries, several are under foreign control, the report | states. Three or four are furnishing | strategic war materials, it was said. Among those mentioned in this category in the report are the Shell Oil & Allied Chemical Co.'s, it was learned. The study went deeply into the stock control of the largest non- financial institutions in the countr: and showed that a very small mi- nority of the stockholders was able to control a majority of shares in most of the industries. This con- trol, it was said, was exercised by co-operation between family mem- bers in many cases. i Holdings Top $1,350,000,000. The du Pont, Mellon and Rocke- | feller families have total holdings of more than $1,350,000,000 in these large corporations, it was - stated, | and are the most powerful influ- ences. The corporations included in the study comprise about one- half of all domestic corporations on | the basis of assets, dividends and stockholders. The study revealed that in most of the corporations 1 per cent of the | stockholders held enough votes to | constitute a majority. On a total | basis, it was said, 60 per cent of the | stock of these corporations was held by 1 per cent of the stockholders. | Closely Owned Firms. | Most closely owned corporations included the gas and electric utilities, | the automobile industry, building equipment, lumber and paper, chem- ical, rubber and leather. Almost | 150 of the 200 largest industries were | found to be controlled by a single | small group. The control of the among a number of stockholders. | The Du Pont family, with control of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., General Motors Corp. and United States Rubber Corp., was described as the most powerful of the groups. The holdings of this family was | said to be in excess of $550,000,000. The holdings of the Mellon and Rockefeller families were estimated | at close to $400,000,000 each. | Oil Firm Chief Kidnaped | In Rumania, British Say By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Oct. 2—The Brit- | ish Legation declared today that a band of youths, described as appar- ently members of the Iron Guard, had kidnaped the director of the British-controlled Astra Romana, largest oil company in Rumania. Up to noon, the Legation said it had been unable to ascertain the whereabouts or fate of the director, A. Miller. Rumanian secret police declared they had no knowledge of the matter. | The Legation asserted it had eye- witnesses to prove that Miller, one of the most highly-placed Britishers left in the country, had been kid- naped from the summer resort of Snagov on the outskirts of the cap- ital by four young men in plain clothes. The United States Legation ob- tained the release of H. L. Free- man, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., oil man, yesterday after strongly pro- testing the “illegality” of his ar- rest on a charge of participating in an alleged plot to sabotage oil fields.

Egypt fo Be Scene Of Next Big Battle, London Circles Hold Zero Hour for Invasion | Held Past; Nazis Seen | Directing African War By DREW MIDDLETON, Associated Press War Correspondent. LONDON, Oct. 2—The zero hour for attempted invasion of Britain this year has passed, in the opinion of neutral military observers and | unofficial British sources, while there are signs that the battle of Britain will be fought in Africa, probably in Egypt. British military informants said they had “no reason to doubt” that the German high command had taken over direction of Italian op- erations in North Africa and “no| good reason not to believe” that Germany had oved troops into Ttaly, presumdbl¥ to reinforce the Italians in Africa. | Italy has done little lately, one source said, except to build up a position at Sidi Barrani, Egypt, as an advance base and push some | forces southeastward toward the Siwa Oasis, which is 60 to 70 miles inside the Egyptian frontier. These sources pointed out that Ttaly’s offensive might be aimed either at Matruh or Alexandria from that oasis. Watchful for Invasion. Officially the British are keeping their watchfulness against invasion of these isles at the same high pitch, but the influential Manchester Guardian declared today that “Watchfulness must now extend more and more to the Mediter- ranean, for on events there the em- pire’s future may depend.” The Guardian commented that | “the R. A. F.'s successes during the last month permit us to be confi- dent about the future of the battle of Britain.

While em- phasizing that he had received no official word of such intention from his government, Mr. Henry Haye said plans for such fortifica- tion had been drafted before the war began last year. Martinique Discussed. He said there had been an ex- change of views between himself and Mr. Roosevelt and that he felt confident “there was nothing very important separating the attitudes of the French and American govern- ments.” (Martinique officials said today that plans for further work on the island’s military fortifications had been abandoned.) Later, the President cautioned re- porters against interpreting this to mean that there is ‘“substantial agreement” between the two gov- ernments on any plan for strength- ening French facilities at Mar- tinique. Informed Washington observers believe this Government would never consent to the expansion of the naval or military facilities of any foreign government—except pos- sibly Great Britain—in an area where lie the vital defenses of the Panama Canal and even of the en- tire hemisphere. Further Fortification Plans Are Abandoned FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique Oct. 2 (#).—Plans for further work on military fortifications for this French island possession have been abandoned entirely, government offi- cials said today. Some of the work had been started before the European war broke out, some was begun after that These plans included the length- ening of a drydock and a pier which also could be used for commercial purposes. Work on these, officials said, never was started, and no orders have come from the Vichy government to begin construction. French officials said the popula- tion here is “greatly shocked” that British authorities have detained M. Carde, former Governor of Mar- tinique, and M. Pevoil, former ad- ministrator, at St. Johns, Autigua, British West Indies. Officials said they were keenly in- terested in the British action, which seemed to them ‘“contrary to the neutrality of the West Indies.” French Ex-Officials Are Held by British ST. JOHNS., Antigua, British Kest Indies, Oct. 2 (#).—Two former officials of the French colonial serv- ice have been detained here, it was disclosed today, while flying from the French West Indian Island of Martinique to Miami, Fla. The Frenchmen, M. Carde, a for- mer Governor, and M. Pevoil, a for- mer administrator, were alleged by British officials *here to have been found in possession of certain arti- cles contrary to defense regula- tions. No further details were re- vealed.

Republicans have won most recent elections in the Delaware city. Senator Reed said there had been “some illegal registrations but I doubt that there were enough to influence glections.

[n Minnesota Faces Distintegration Only Salvation Seen In New Figures and Bewon Confidence By G. GOULD LINCOLN, Star Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2—The Farmer-Labor party, a few years ago the dominant political organ- ization in Minnesota, today is threatened with extinction. The death of Gov. Floyd Olson several vears ago., the more recent death of the late Senator Lundeen and the withdrawal of Senator Shipstead from the party—he is now Repub- | lican nominee for the Senate seat he holds—removed from the party leaders. Unless and until the Farmer-Laborites find some new figures. men who can obtain the confidence of the people, the party seems doomed to disinte- grate. It is under attack today, not only by the Republicans but also by its former allies, the Democrats. The Farmer-Labor party began its tumble in 1937 when Brig. Gen. George E. Leach, Republican, was elected Mayor of Minneapolis over Kenneth Haycraft, who had the indorsement of the Farmer-Labor party. The death of Gov. Olson first put Hjalmar Peterson and then Elmer Benson in the Governor's chair. The Benson administration, charged with waste and worse, was exceedingly unpopular. The Farmer- Labor party was split‘into right and left wings, which did not help. The farmers, many of them, reached the conclusion that the party was all for the benefit of the labor unions and not for them. They fell away in droves. Charges were made that Jews were moving into office and control, which did not appesal to a | large number of Germans and Scandinavians in the State, many of them in the Farmer-Labor party. G. 0. P. Wins With Stassen. That was the situation in 1938. Gov. Benson sought renomination for Governor and engaged in a terrific fight with Mr. Peterson, who | had the backing of the more con- | servative wing of the party. Gov. Benson finally won, but by a nar- row margin. The Republican party was lucky. It abandoned its old guard candidates of Governor and nominated youthful Harold E. Stas- sen. When election day rolled round, Mr. Stassen simply snowed Mr. Benson under—despite a deal which had been arranged by the Farmer-Laborites with the Demo- crats for the support of Benson. The Republicans took command of the State. They also elected seven out of the nine members of the House delegation, leaving only one seat for the Farmer-Labor party and one for the Democrats. In 1936, when a deal was en- gineered between the New Dealers and the Farmer-Laborites, the Democrats withdrew their candi- dates for Governor and Senator in return for the support of the Farm- er-Labor voters for President Roosevelt.

O'LEARY, 8tar Staff Correspondent. ON BOARD THE WILLKIE SPECIAL NEAR TOLEDO. Oct. 2— Wendell Willkie declared today the recent German-Italian-Japanese al- liance reflects “an antagonistic atti- tude toward the United States” and warnee that this Nation must “be- come strong.” It was his first comment on the new pact and came unexpectedly early today. when he stopped to ad- dress several thousand persons at Adrian. Mich., just before carrying his campaign into the important State of Ohio with its 26 electoral votes. ‘A few days ago we read in the papers.” Mr. Willkie said, “about a pact being signed between Italy, Germany and Japan. The obvious purpose was an antagonistic atti- tude toward the United States. Un- der such circumstances there is just one hope for the United States. ‘We have little inSuence in foreign affairs. In effect, Japan and Italy agreed that if we should come into conflict with Germany they would assist. or if we came into conflict with Japan, the others would assist. Says U. 8. “Must Be Strong.” | ‘In other words, those three coun- tries are thinking of the United States in terms of war. Now. we are not thinking of war, we are thinking of peace. Yet, here in 1940 are three of the most belligerent powers in the world thinking ef us in terms of war." After referring to the new alli- ance, Mr. Willkie asserted that “what this country had to say about foreign affairs used to have‘ tremendous effect. but in this vear of 1940 what we say has little effect.” Under such eircumstances, he toid the crowd. “there is just one hope for the United States. and that is to become strong—strong in do- mestic economy and military de- fense.” “We need both,” he assertec, “and | in both respects we are presently very weak.” To prove his contention that this administration has not shown fore- sight in foreign policy, Mr. Willkie declared that in 1929, “before Hif- ler was heard of."” the United States was spending 21 per cent of its budget on national detense In 1936, he said, after this adminis- tration had been in power for three years, only 9 per cent of this coun- try’s outlay went for national de- fense.
