Mighty Air Wctr Rages on As HitlerMakes Threats . ? ? Fuehrer Would Erase English Cities To Avenge British Raids on Germany; Says Ger many Will Win War, But Gives No Forecast As To When It. Will End Berlin, Sept 4.?Adolf Hitler, with a triumphant year of war behind him and an unpredictable Winter ahead, spoke out to his British foes tonight with fury and jeers?and a threat that the bombers of Germany will "erase" England cities to avenge the night raids of the R. A. F. Before 25,000 unroarious Winter relief workers, he pointed a finger at the "impatient" English and said: "If they ask, "Why doesn't he come?" my reply is: "Just be quiet. He's coming, all right. One mustn't be so inquisitive.'" The grim facetiousness of his manner as he uttered these words in the great Sportspalast, customary party rallying place in Berlin, was characteristic of Hitler's speech. But there were times in his 50-minute address when he turned loose all of hia anger in denunciation of the British and their leaders. This happened when he spoke of the Royal Air raids lngn, - of the Royal Air Force raids on Berlin. "For three months," he said, "I have waited for the British to cease the nuisance of nightly, planless bomb-throwing. Now we will give the answer night after night. "If the British throw two or three thousand kilograms (of bombs) we will unload 150,000, 180,000, yes, 200,000. . . " The shouts of his audience, gath ered to hear the Nazi leader speak at the opening of the eighth Winter relief campaign, smothered his voice. (A kilogram is 2J2 pounds.) Berlin Awake. British bombers had kept Berlin in a state of alarm for two and half hours during the early morning hours, and squadrons of British planes headed for the German capi tol had clashes with German fight ers in central Germany last night. The German high command said only a "few" of the planes reached Berlin. Later, authorized circles said'that 54 British planes were shot down during today's action over Southern England while 15 German machines failed to return. There wa3 no indication when Hit ler expected the war to end, but he observed that when the war started and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain spoke of a three-year conflict, he "told Goering to pre pare for five years." v "The hour will come wheh one of us two will crack up," he shout ed, shaking his finger in England's direction, "and it won't be National Socialist Germany." England, he predicted, will "col lapse." London Barrage Foils Nazi Mass Attack; Britons Say Berlin Raid Success. London, Sept. 4.?An air raid loos ed Upon London by waves of German planes just a few hours after Adolf Hitler had proclaimed his threat? "I'm coming!" was clubbed off to night by the heaviest barrage of anti aircraft fire that ever thundered over the city. Even after the "all clear" had sounded there were new bursts of antiaircraft- fire. This time, the barrage Masted at the raiders on three fronts simul taneously, and distant, sullen flashes appeared to be those of- falling bombs. A barrage balloon tumbled ? to earth in flames. At least two Nasi pi hoi ware believed to have keen shot down southeast of London. .

Deal; House ContmuesDebate On Conscription ? ? ? 4 Washington, Sept 4.?Senate and1 House conferees today gave the green light to defense legislation providing vast numbers of war planes and na val units, many of whieh probably will be hased on sites acquired in the epochal destroyer deal with Great' Britain. They completed action on the |6, 266,000,000 "total" defense bill?last segment of President Roosevelt's long-range $16,000,000,000 prepared ness program?and sent it back to < the House. . , " ? > ?? The bill is designed to give the Army and Navy 18,400' planes, start construction of a two-ocean navy and provide an army of 1,200,000 men. Conference action on the measure - came as the House heard Republi cans assail Mr. Roosevelt's historic swap of 50 over-age destroyers to Great Britain for naval and air base sites on a chain of British posses-' sions sweeping down the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to the northern tip of South America. Several G. O. P. Congressmen charged that Mr. Roosevelt violated the law in failing to ask consent of Congress. Representative Luther A. Johnson, D., Tex., chided them ? for not following the leadership of their party chieftain ? Presidential nominee Wendell L. Willkie?who said he believed the American peo ple would approve the transaction, but deplored the fact that the Presi dent had not taken Congress into his confidence. Move Swiftly. Meanwhile, the government fol lowed through swiftly on the mo mentous deal, described by Mr. Roosevelt as the most epochal na tional defense action since the Louisiana purchase of 1803. While workmen in navy yards along the eastern seaboard pre pared the old destroyers for de- ' livery to the Royal'navy, a board of United States Navy and Army ex perts neared Bermuda. There they I will confer with- British representa tives and select the exact sites for American bases. Mr.. Roosevelt, who made the swap with Britain independently of Congress on the basis of a legal opinion giving him such authority, called -Congressional leaders ?to the White House to give-them a fill ift on secret negotiations which brought yesterday's announcement of ? the transaction. Senate Majority Leader Alben.yi, Barkley, House Speaker WilliaW Bankhead and House Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn were among the group. Barkley said afterwards he did not forsee any important Congres sional opposition to the deal. He said the new base program may re quire some appropriations later, but that it is too early yet to say what form they might take. \ j Mr. Roosevelt can get work start ed on the bases with money from the $200,000,000 "blank check" de fense fund which Congress gave him for use without restriction in of emergency. - co w Barkley said the bases, probably, would be built one at a time, with the Bermuda base probably the first on which work actually would be started. "1 Bsnlrhsad asserted that the United States does not contemplate acpqjr ing any maze bases at this time. He said, after conferring with . Mr. Roosevelt, that he was authorized -to report that "any more bases-are out of the window." WHQ KNOWS? 1. How many nations hw Hitler overrun in the last year! 2.

His statement on French Indo-1 China resulted form reports indi ;ating that a clash might be immi nent between Japanese and French j [ndo-China troops, .possibly, support-1 >d' by Chinese troops of General j Chiang Kai-Shek.
