LONDON —4^1— (Sunday)—Far-
ranging German air bombers car-
ried on their almost constant at-
tacks against England and Wales
early Sunday. Some raiders dump-
ed clusters of bombs on two Eng-
lish sectors before they were chas-
ed away.
In northwest England, one per-
son was killed and a number were
injured by eight bombs reported
dropped by a single plane which
flew low over a town. One bomb
was said to have hit s school.
Bombers Driven Off
In southwest England, several
enemy planes dropped about a
dozen bombs, damaging shops and
cottages.
The Nazi raiders penetrated as

No bombs were reported dropped
in Wales however.

MEXICO CITY — President
Lazaro Cardenas sent to congress
Saturday a bill to establish univer-
sal compulsory military training in t
Mexico. Its passage was consid-
ered assured.
In a message accompanying the
bill he said, "the situation which
prevails in the world because of the
European war urgently demands'
that nations take adequate means to
prevent unjustified aggressions."
Cardenas asserted scarcity of
trained reserves would "make prac-
tically imp<*sible a mobilization
that might be needed at anv mo-1
ment for defense of our institutions
and national territory ”
The delegates to the convention
spurned Wailace because of his
restriction program and gave their
20 votes to Speaker Bankhead.
Governor Sam Jones said he was
against Wallace "1.000 per cent.”
But Saturday night in Baton
Rouge Governor Jones, out-
spoken at the Chicago convention
in his criticism of Secretary Wal-
lace. declared he would fight for
the Democratic ticket.
"I want to tell the world I'm a
Democrat" the governor said. "I’m

president. Any reports about my
being for the candidate of the

The unostentatious Hull, however,

War Machine 'Ready’
Repeatedly the English were told
that Hitler has no desire to harm
England or her empire. It was sug-
gested that only bv getting out
from under Churchill's control can
England escape the German on-
slaught.
There was. moreover, not the
slightest hint either in Hitlers
speech or in the words of radio or
press that Germany is slowing up
in her preparation for this attack
It is assumed that the military and
naval machine is ready to go at
any time at the Fuehrer's word.
No further direct proposal to
England mav be expected from Hit-
ler. the authoritative Dienst Aus

“The initiative must now eome

• The delegation from Argentina, a !

of resistance to any plans which
might further disrupt its trade with
European countries, does not ar-

While Hull guarded carefully any
proposals that he brought from
