The British figures bore out
the acknowledgment of German pi-
lots in Berlin that they were run-
ning up against bitter heroic re-

This praise of Britain's pilot*
and gun crews was tempered to
same extent by their claim that
other parts of England had been
weakened to help London.
Some returning pilots said they
visited Liverpool and the English
midlands with comparatively little
opposition.
Another claimed he sank a Brit-

That the Nazis ranged far and

in the House chamber.
The 66-year old speaker an ad-

seven years died early Sunday
after an internal hemorrhage He
was stricken a week ago In Balti-

William Brockman Rankhead was
the first AlabAman to become
speaker of the national house of
iep:e.«entatives and his unanimo’is
election to that high office made
congressional history.
A member of a family which was
roncAiertt fne mnro f U -i n 1 f •%
century under the rapitol dome
politics was hi? birthright but years
of rlimbing the house seniority
ladder intervened before “Will"
Ranltheari became in quick succes-
sion. chairman of the powerful rules
committee majority leader and
speaker.
Elected first to the 85th or "war
concress" he realized a long-cher-
ished ambition to wield the speak-
er's gavel upon the death of speaker
Joseph W R’ rns of Tennessee near
the clove of the 1936 session. Byrns’
passing virtually upon adjournment
<»ve created a situation for which
'here was no precedent. It was the
first time a speaker had died while
congress was in session Party lead-
ers. anxious to avert anything in the
nature of a contest under these cir-
cumstances. quickly decided upon
Pankhead for the post and less than
12 hours after the death of his pre-
decessor. the courtly Alabaman was
elected without opposition as the
45th speaker of the house. He was
re-elerted Jan. 6 1937.

Bankhead was the «on of a Confed-
erate army captain who blazed a
trail to congress which later was
followed by two of his sons When
"Will" was elected to congress from
the newlv-created seventh district
of Alabama his father. Senator John
Hollis Bankhead already had carv-
ed a distinguished career in the na-
tional legislature About 10 years
after the fathers death another
son. John H Bankhead second won
a senate seat.
Adherence to hrs fathers advice
! to "stay made" "Will” Bankhead
one of the ablest parhamen'arlant
in congress It was to this knowl-
edge he attributed his rise to tht
speakership but he was aided ma-
! terially by his ability as an orstoi
and his wide popularity among thi
members.
A product of the hill country o!
his native state he was educated tr
log schoolhouses. the University ol
Alabama and Georgetown Univer-
sity's law school. Soon after re-
ceiving hts law degree he almosl
forsook his profession for a theatri-
cal career in New York. Familv
opposition Induced him to give uj
the idea but he lived to see his am-
bitions In that direction attained bj
his daughter Tallulah star of stage
and screen.
Just before the turn of the cen-
tury. Bankhead entered a law part-
nership with his brother. John
and began an active participation in
' Democratic politics. He server
Madison county in the Alabama
legislature was city attorney oi
Huntsville for four years and cir-
cuit solicitor of the fourteenth ju-
dicial circuit from 1910 to 1914
Then he tried for congress but losi
to W. B Oliver. Two years latei
the district was divided and Bank-
head won the new seat thus cre-
ated. Oliver continued in office and
years later presented Bankhead i
name to the house Democratic cau-
cus ss a candidate for majoritj
leader.
Bankhead's oratorical reputatior
was established even before he was
sent to congress for in 1912 he wai
the "boy orator" chosen to present
Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama
as a candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination This wa-
nt. the Baltimore convention scent
of an historic struggle before Wood-
row Wilson was nominated.
Serving his presidential appren-
ticeship in the grim davs of tht
World War and achieving both pow-
er and distinction in the momen-
tous New- Deal session of Franklir
D. Roosevelt's first administration
Bankhead proved an efficient leg-
• islator. Teamed with his senator-
brother he engineered passage o

trol act. an integral part of tnt
Roosevelt farm program. He aist
was author of soldiers' rehabilita-
tion legislation which marie it pos-

! j:
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE
The outstanding development of
i the week-end has been the in-
creased strength of the British
resistance and counter-attack to
the Nazi air assault against Lon-
don as Hitler has driven his pack
furiously for a kill.
The English claimed a record
bag of I8i planes tor Sunday <a
figure disputed by Berlin) as
against 25 Royal Air Force ma-
chines lost. Again Monday morn-
tug the British were reported to
have started the dav aggressively-
bv turning back another heavy Nazi
attack.
Ominous hut unexplained was
the bombardment of the Important
English east coast port of Dover
Mondav morning by Nazi long
range naval guns from the French
shore Thus naturally gave rise to
’ speculation as to whether it was
the red flare signalling the Im-
minence of a German attempt at
invasion. Only one thing was whol-
ly apparent however—that Hitler
was ex'er.rlmg himself in his ef-
fort to make in the British defence
a crack big enough to permit of
his grand coup.
Lightning Stroke Due
If and when Hitler makes his
attack it will be a lightning stroke.
In 'his connection it is in'ere.-r-
ing to note the German contention
that the British have been weak-
ening their defenses in other parts
of England in order to strengthen
the defense of London. This state-
i ment accompanied the admission
that the Nazi airforce was en-
countering fierce and heroic re-
sistance.
It is pawible the British have
diverted deiensive forces to the
■ protection of the capital. It is
i equally passible the German claim
is father to the wish. To mv mind
it is sure That par* of the Nail
strategy will he to try to entire
the Britons into weakening their
defenses at some spot or spots
atainst which the invaders will
strike This might account in part
i for the mpnner in which Hitler has
concentrated his attack on London.
Farouk Calls Moslem*
While all this was going on.
there was another significant de-
velopment in connection with Mu*-
.vtlinia thrust into Egvpt. This was
the appeal of youthful King Far-
cuk of Fgvpt to Moslems through-
out the world to r-av that Egvpt
mav have peace.
In that cppeal may lie a terrible
menac* to the fascist chieftain
Should he cause n Mohammedan
hofy war against Iralv he would
have unleashed a whirlwind That
is an important point to watch.
In undertaking a conquest of
Fgvpt Mussolini has ricked one nf
the toughest Jobs ever laid out by
military historv. but even that is
less difficult than the fundamental
task he must perform to win the
batt'e of the Mediterranean. He
must find some wav to smash the
domination of that inland sea by
the British navy.
Threatened Rr Rlnrkade
Tt Dure is threatened with
strangulation by naval blockade in
Just the same manner as is his
running mate Hhler.
There are only two ways in
which the grin of the British navy
can be broken— *1> bv rti-ect ac-
tion and »2» by the crushing of
England in the battle of Britain.
Thus it seems to me that in the
long run we get hack to the idea
that pretty much everything hinges
! on the German drive against Eng-
land itself.
