NEW YORK, Aug. 26—(U.R)—The
Republican presidential nominee,
Wendell L. Willkle, believes con-
gress should pass the military
conscription bill immediately and
is considering making a strong
statement if it bogs down In senate
or house debate, It was learned
today.
WUlkie’s aides said that some
persons had “distorted” his ac-
ceptance speech endorsement of the
principles of selective service train -
Ing to infer that he did not favor
immediate passage of a military
conscription bill.
# They said that he wanted a bill
passed as soon as possible because
he felt it "indispensable" to an
adequate national defense.
New Shots Fired
Thus Willkie was represented as
In general agreement with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who on Friday
urged immediate passage of a draft
bill, although the Republican nom-
inee fired some new shots at the
administration for the rate at
which its rearmament program is
proceeding, particularly In the pro-
i cureinent of airplanes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26— (U.R)—
President Roosevelt was expected
teday to sign immediately the na-
tional guard mobilization bill which
congress passed last week.
Returning to his desk after a
week-end fishing cruise on Chesa-
peake bay, the president was ex-
pected to sign the bill probably be-
fore he leaves in mid-week for a
trip that will take him to Hyde
Park and to the Tennessee Valley
authority area.
The national guard bill empowers
(him to call out 395,000 guardsmen |
and army reservists for a year of
active military service anywhere In
the western hemisphere or in Uni-
ted States' possessions. After sign-
ing the bill he Is expected to mobil-
ize four guard divisions and some
anti-aircraft units—comprising 55,-
000 men—for duty Sept. 15. Another
55,000 are expected to be mobilized
Oct. 15; about 65,000 on Nov. 15,
and 40,000 Dec. 15.
Cabinet Posts Open
Other problems confronting the
president include appointment of
two new cabinet members—a secre-
tary of commerce and a postmaster
general. The resignation of Secretary
of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins, the
fifth recent cabinet change, was an-
nounced by the White House Sat-
urday. Jesse H. Jones, federal loan
administrator, has been offered the
post, but is vacationing in Mich-
igan and has not commented yet
on the president’s offer.
Postmaster General James A. Par-
ley's resignation, tendered the pres-
ident shortly after the Democratic
national convention, becomes ef-
fective Aug. 31, several days before
Mr. Roosevelt returns from his
southern trip.

First Attack On Berlin
Brings New Assault
On British Coast
LONDON, Aug. 26—UP)—Massed
German raiders hurtling across
Britain’s coast along a 30-mile
front blasted Dover, the channel
''Hell’s Corner," Folkestone, and
the south foreland today in a
savage reply to the first big Brit-
ish air attack of the war on Berlin.
Adolf Hitler sent his bombers
storming toward London for the
sixth time in three days but they
failed immediately to penetrate the
city’s defenses.
London’s millions went scurrying
to shelter at 3:26 p. m. (8:26 a.
m. Oklahoma time) when alarm
sirens screamed but they emerged
again when the all clear signal
was given 37 minutes later without
any sign of the raiders or any
activity by the city’s anti-aircraft
guns.
Crossing the southeast coast in
swarms the Germans attempted to
reach London after day-long at-
tacks on Dover and Folkestone.
Battle Rages At Dover
The day’s biggest battle raged
over Dover, the English channel
port only 22 miles from the French
coast. Four of the attackers were
downed there.
