Using the heaviest bombs of the war to date in their attacks last night, the British flyers re- ported other successful raids and destruction in many other cities; including repeat of Nazi-dom raids on Berlin and Hamburg. The airwarfare, trom these r revenge raid after another. The Germans announced yesterday that the powerful raid on Coven- try day before yesterday was in return for the raid made by the R. A. F. on Munich at the time Hitler was present for an anni- versary fete. The raids by the British last night, according to announcement, were in payment for the loss suffered at Coventry. ‘German raiders were on the lookout for other industrial cities to single out for concentrated at- tacks—and scouting units with trailing bombers, were reported swarming up and down the Eng- lish coast this morning _ The sledge hammer blows against Britain, are all being delivered in the night time now, relieving i the British of precautionary measures during daylight hours. Increase of Nazi attacks is be- lieved in British circles to have been ordered so that defeat of the Italians could be out-focused for home consumption. Proof of the correcthess of that surmise was contained in a dis- Patch from Stockholm this morn- ing. A Swedish newspaper cor- respondent stated that informa- tion he had obtained listed the Nazi high officials as being shocked at the lack of success at- tendant upon the Italian aggres- sion against Greece. The Swedish writer went on to say that the Nazis would never let down the axis program for domination of the east-Mediter- Tanean—and would probably send | aid to the Italians, although that aid would bring advantageous manded from Italians in terms of additional Nazi beses and in- creased influence. Greek dispatches today stated that the Albanian city of Corriza was momentarily expected to be in Grecian hands. Last of the Italian strongholds were ~ being destroyed yesterday and a gen- eral advance was expected today, to take over that city and sur- rounding sectors. Yugo-Slavian dispatches. on the other hand, stated that the Italians stiffened their defense on the central front, and were holding ground, giving the Greeks as much ,as they took in the increased battle action fol- lowing temporary surcease from bad weather. 940 PEKE FIVE CENTS Germans Shocked ‘At Italian Failure ("OOOO OOe DETERMINED AT SESSIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY "SIESASaSS.

As this is being written, the sxact date of the demise of Con- gress is not definite and it is i barely possible that the Republi- {can contingent, headed by Sen- |ator Vandenberg (Mich.) in the } upper house and Minority Leader lower, will have its way end keep Congress {on until the legislative year ends January 3. In that event, one or two of the measures which have ; been stamped by the House as a {good thing for the nation might get to the floor of the Senate, but the best guessers don’t guess | Slated For Ash-Can | Here are the bills which it ;Seems are slated for the 76th ; Congress ash-can: | (1). »The Logan-Walter bill, a to what, ingress, fiv Passed by e highly controversial the House of Repre- complicated measure which would put a check rein on gov- ernment administrative agencies and. make it possible for persons and companies to appeal to the courts when they feel the agen- cies have issued orders violating their individual fights The House passed it by a big ma- jority, but the Senate has kept it nmffled in committee dling clothes. (2). The anti-lynching _ bill. Passed by the House by an al- most 2-to-1 vote last January, this one went to the Senate amid dark hints of a filibuster from southern Senate leaders, if any effort should be made to bring it to the floor. The bill was ap- Proved by the Senate judiciary in April (10-to-3) and until about June, it seemed it might some day come to a vote. Then came swad-! i i INDIAN SQUAW HEAP SENSIBLE NOW: national defense and the anti- lynching bill has been hanging on the calendar ever since, with some senator only now and-then giving it as much as a sidelong glance. (3). The Wagner act amend- ments, which would provide a new three-man national labor re- lations board and a heavy over- hauling of the original Wagner labor act. This passed the House in June by exactly 2-to-1 but the Senate hasn't given it a decent nod. (4). The Ramspeck bill, which would bring about 200,000 more government employes under civil service. The Senate did act on this one, but it killed one impor- tant House provision and added one of its own and a stormy House ordered its members in joint conference not to send the bill back to the House with those changes. Rep. Robert Ramspeck (@.-Ga.) has hopes of salvaging his bill this session, but many observers think it also will go by the board. ‘Prep Schools’ For fing a lot of time these days -;DRAFTEE Peter Plink’s spend--WHEN PETERS “M™ DAY comes, he'll entrain for a “recep- Dorothy Lamour—Robt.
