He couoled these def'ni^ -tnte ments with an attack on unnamed critics who "love the laboring man in November but forget him in Janu ary" and called for an f»nd "to the sort of appeasement which seeks to 'cppd us helDless by playine on fear and by indirect sabotage of all the orr>«ress we are making." The President snoke before the convention of the Teamsters "nion. an American Federation of Labor ••rganization. Described at the White House he fore hrnd as the labor spe°ch of the campaign. Mr. Roosevelt's address contended that the New Deal enact ments had helped organized labor to a broad increase in both mem bership and influences, denied thai 'he defense program requires any re 'avatie-n in those laws, and emphati cally reiterated his intentiin to keep the United States out rf the wa-. His hearers, who had endorsed his third term candidacy a few hours before, listened with enthtr hrtic at tention. The Chief Executive lashed out at segments of his onnos'ti-n. whiHi he said, were endeavoring to make the nation.nl defense cri"is an pxcus-1 for stopping "the progress we arc »'>nl'!np in social Hbnr legisla tion" and for repealing the New Deal enactments. Progress, he asserted, had been slow and difficult, "beset by obstruc tion and by bitter propaganda,' from those who had grown uccustonicd to ^the -exploitation" of the masses working lor them. Discussing national defense plans and reporting them progressing sat isfactorily with a growing popular unity behind them, tie Chief Execu tive said that "in all of these plans for national defense, only those who seek to play upon the fears of the American people discover an attempt to lead us into war." And he re newed his previously expressed de termination to keep America out of the conflict abroad. No effort was made to conceal the frankly political nature of the address. Radio time was bought and paid for by the Democratic National Committee, after some controversy as to the nature of previous ad dresses. The endorsement of the idea of seizing and operating industries which refuse to cooperate with the defense program came after Wen dell L. Willkie., the Republican pres idential nominee, had challenged Mr. Roosevelt to state «his views. Willkie opposed the Russell-Over ton amendment to the conscription act. calling for seizure of such in dustries. He said this amendment was dangerous, but added later that he would favor a selective service for industry if it were accompanied by definite rules and regulations. G. \I.

Sept. 12.—(AP)—Italy de clared today lhat her submarine arm had reached into the Atlantic o-*?an to prey on British shipping, crediting one "with sinking 27,000 tons in a single voyage beyond the Strait of Gibraltar."

Scuttling a House provision for a 60-day delay in the draft, and com promising differences on the vital question of age limit's, the six sen ators and five House members reach ed an agreement last night on a com mon version of the legislation which both branches of Congress previous ly approved in different forms. The Senate had fixed the age limit at from 21 through 30. the House at 21 through 44. At the sug gestion of Senator Thomas, Demo crat, Utah, the conferees made the maximum age 35.

Hamburg, Bremen Are Also Raided Anti-Aircraft Barrage Keeps German Fliers Away From London La | Night; Over One Thousand Known Dead in Britain. (By the Associated Press) British warplanes showered fire bombs around Berlin's Tiergarten— the German capital's "Centra! Park" in a 92-minute raid before dawn to day and pounded the great shipping ports of Hamburg and Bremen in an intensified assault on Hitler's Reich. The Tiergarten lies near govern ment buildings and Hitler's chan cellory. London reported the Royal Air Force raiders also bombed the An halter railway station in central Ber lin and the big Tcmpclhof airdrome. Hitler's high command admitted 14 persons were killed, 41 injured, and many fires started in the three cities attacked. London's weary millions under went their fifth straight dusk-to dawn attack, sleeping again in un derground shelters, but the populace found a note of comfort in the steady slam of anti-aircraft guns setting up a stream of fire to blast the raiders. The new London defense tactics of thowing up a rapid fire barrage instead of sniping singly at individ ual planes picked nut by searchlights was officially credited with having greatly impeded the German assault. Only 20 bombs exploded in central London, in contrast to many hun dreds of previous night raids, but suicide squads combed the capital to search of delayed action explosive; '••:ch as the one which blasted a eornor from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. One of the delayed action missiles was discovered this morning near his toric old St. Paul Cathedral. Although the destructive effect of the raid was not immediately known, at least there was no sign of the Nazi's threatened "ten thousand planeloads of bombs daily' falling in the London area. Casualty figures for the first three of the five all-night raids showed a heavily mounting toll with 1,010 '•nnwn dead and 4,300 wounded. The British reported 39 German •Manes shot down in yesterday's bat tles with 24 RAF planes missing; the Germans asserted 80 British planes were destroyed and 20 Nazi aircraft were missing. Nine German planes v/ere shot down by anti-ajreraft fire.

Nazis Charge Bombings Of Potato Bugs Berlin, Sept. 12.—(AP) — Au thorized German sources charged to day that British airmen are throw ing bags of "Colorado potato bugs" into potato fields in Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium in an ef fort to lay waste to the major food source of these countries. These .sources said the bugs multi ply rapidly and are hard to control. Two days ago a similar charge was made that the British are throwing millions of scif-igniting "leaves"— made of phosphorus and gun cotton —to cause fires in Berlin fields and forests. (The British admitted they were using the "leaves," but author lative British sources said today there is no truth in the German de claration that British fliers are drop ping bag.- of Colorado bugs on Ger many's fields.)
