The official DNB news agency
reported that today's raids on
South England were led by a
formation of two-motored Ger-
man destroyer planes which en-
gaged British Spitfires and Hur-
ricanes along the coast in order
to clear the way for following
formati ons of bombers, protect-
ed with fighter convoys.
A great number of air battles
developed, DNB said, in the area
between Dover and Eastbourne.
The fights were at great altitude
and individual combats lasted as
long as five or 10 minutes.
DNB reported that lifeboats
sped out from both sides of the
channel coast in order to help
the crews of many planes which
fell into the channel. One Ger-
man lifeboat was reported to
have saved three English and
two German pilots.
The German bombs heavily
damaged the airfield and hangars
at Farnsborough, DNB claimed,
and destroyed several planes on
the ground. One German plane
was shot down near Hastings.
On a second flight, DNB said,
German planes made a low fly-
ing attack on British anti-aircraft
emplacements, putting several
guns out of action.
DNB said that according to
available reports German planes
today had succeeded in bombing
important military objectives in
South England.
indicating the extent of the
German air operations, the High
Command said that air force for-
mations attacked several airfields
in Lincoln and Suffolk counties,

DES MOINES, la. (UP) —
Henry A. Wallace sounded the
keynote of his campaign in ac-
cepting the Democratic vice-pres-
idential nomination last night with
a charge that Republican leaders
are "appeasers" of Adolf Hitler.
Democratic party leaders, who
include National Chairman Ed-
ward J. Flynn, said Wallace's ac-
cepdnce speech was ‘‘indicative’’
of Me campaign which he will
make for himself and his cunning
mate, President Roosevelt.
। "Most Republicans may not yet
realize it, but their party is the
1 pn ty of apper . T mtia the Unit-
ed States today.'* "V’amace cmarzed.
“It is the party which the totali-
tarian powers will back in every
way possible.”
Approximately 10,000 persons
jammed every available space in
the coliseum to hear Wallace make
his first speech for an elective po-
litical office. Radio broadcasts
carried It over most of the world.
In the presence of friends and
neighbors who knew him as a Re-
publican prior to 1932, Wallace
linked Republicanism and Hitler-
ism and assailed them as threats
to the security of the United
States.
"Powerful elements in our op-
position will, if the Republicans
come into power, force ils to make
one economic concession after an-
other to the totalitarian coun-
tries,” Wallace declared.
"These appeasers will have their
way if the Republicans win, be-
cause they will have contributed
largely, both politically and fi-
nancially, to the Republican
cause.”
The crowd, predominantly far-
mers, waved the tall corn stalks
for which Iowa is famous. A hill-
billy and "hayseed” orchestra add-
ed to the noisy reception given to
Wallace. Many carried placards
, proclaiming Wallace as "the Iowa
boy who made good” and others
which read "Keep Happy With
Henry.”
Rep. Marvin Jones, D.. Tex., for-
i mally notified Wallace of the nom-
ination. and described him as "a
meeting virtually . nil of the de-
mands of Hungary. Tranrylvania

War.

publican leaders are “willfully
and consciously giving gid and
comfort to Hitler.” He added,
however, ‘some of the bitter at-
tacks on Roosevelt’s program
were directly inspired by the

Aceeptamee fottowed receipt
an "ultimative" note from Ger-
many, said to have threatened to
leave Rumania to the mercy of
Soviet Russia unless the govern-
ment agreed to settle Hungarian
and Bulgarian territorial de-
mands.
Informed sources said that it
was understood but not yet of-
ficially confirmed that Germany
and Italy would pledge military
protection and assistance to Ru-
mania in event the Soviets should
in the future seek to pendtrate
further into • the Balkans. This
presumably would put the weight
of Nazi-Fascist military power
behind the new Rumanian fron-
tiers.
An official statement said that
Rumania had accepted axis arbi-
tration following receipt of a
virtual ultimatum from Berlin
which reportedly included a
threat to leave Rumania at the
mercy of Soviet Russia.
Informed sources said that
acceptance of arbitration was
tantamount to an agreement to
turn over at once a large part of
Transylvania to Hungary.

that in return for territorial con-
ce.-sions ro Hnnnmy and Bulgaria,
the Rumanian government would

The shriek of diving planes, ex-

was heard from the north during
the raid. One aged person died
of shock and several others were
injured in Surrey. _
Within a few minutes, however, MS
there was only the occasional I
drone of British fighting planes
and the hot afternoon sun beat
down on the uninterrupted roar
of London traffic.
Trains continued on schedule ‘
and trams clattered along the
Thames embankment. The em- S
bankment presented a hollday-
like atmosphere with crowds of 1
“sight seers” along the river
walls and in the shade of nearby
trees.
It was estimated that perhaps
600 German planes participated
in the raids, although many mag
have been “repeaters.”

including both bombers end fight-

When the British fighting squad-
rons set upon the German arma-
das the German planes scattered.
Some headed back toward the
coast with British fighters on
their tails. Others circled around
the London area and flew off to
the north or nortiwest.
Six German bombers were shot
down in a single fierce combat
over a southeast town. Seven
German airmen who took to their
parachutes were taken prisoner.
Despite large-scale activity in
the air few bombs were reported
dropped due to the fierce attacks
made upon the German formations
by British fighter squadrons.

during which some Londoners took

their tasks, the 'all dear” was
sounded in the London area at
12:30 p.m. (5:30 a.m. CST).
