day and last night British quar-
ters predicted that a new era of j
counter-bombing heavier than any
.let loose by Britain is about to
open.
The new British offensive is be-
lieved to be ready under the direc-
tion of Air Marshal Sir Charles
Portal who today assumed his new
I duties as chief of the Air Staff.
Three bombs were exploded at
the Porto Edda offices, the com-
munique said, flatly charging that
they were placed (here by "British
agents.”
The announcement came a few
hours after reliable Italian quar-
ters predicted that the ensuing
week woud open with a “bang”
and lightning operations from Gi-
braltar to the Dardanelles. Diplo-
matic quarters specifically men-
l tinned the “Greek zone" as a likely
I spot for the lightning stroke.
Special significance was attach-

NEW YORK. (UP) — Henry T.
Harriman, director of the New
England Power Association and
past president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States,
announced last night that he would
support President Roosevelt for
reelection because of the great
need for national unity in a time
of crisis.
He said he was cognizant of the
ability of Wendell L .Willkie and
the errors of the administration,
but praised the New Deal's farm
and foreign programs and other
policies of the administration.
BERLIN. (UP). Nazis warn-
ed last night that - the "final
great' blow against England will
be struck without mercy" as Ger-
many worked to consolidate the
entire European continent in a
mighty bloc against the British
Empire. '
The warning that German
might wih strike pitilessly and
without remorse against Britain
Was made by Dr. Otto Dietrich,
Reich Press chief, in Adolf Hit-
ler’s own newspaper, the Voel-
kischer Beobachter.
Europe has arrived at the hour
of revolution, Dietrich declared.
"The will to order,”’ he said,
now dominates the times and
destiny’s favor beckons those
nations which obey this will while
those who, disregard it will in-
exorably in this time of decision
be judged by history's verdict."
German diplomatic and politi-
cal activity wa i . not confined to
France- and Spain. Everywhere
an offensive was underway to
line up nations, both those occu-
pied by German troops, and
those where peace still prevails,
behind the new order.
Dev elopments :
1. Anew Danubian commission
to regulate shipping on the in-
land waterway from Bratislava to
the Black Sea was set up after
conferences among German,
Italian and Russian representa-
tives at Bucharest. Germany,
Italy, Russia, Rumania, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Jugoslavia and Slovakia

missipn.
2. Hitler charged Reichmar-
shal Hermann Goering with exe-
cution of a second four-year eco-
nomic plan with special instruc-
tions to "adapt it to the demands
of war.".
Gvernor-General Hans
Frank of occupied Poland empha-
sized the permanency of the ex-
isting government and warned
the Poles that they face "a posi-
tive future only if they cooperate
loyally with Germany.”
1. Commissar Josef Terboven
in Norway announced a large-
scale reconstruction program.
The newspaper Das Reich, edi-
torially urged the people of
Scandinavia and the Netherlands
to cease worrying about their
lost freedom and to join gladly
in the Germanic Reich of the
Liverpool’s anti-aircraft hat-
teries went into action when
raiders appeared over that great
western port and Southwest
Scotland reported raiders active.
Several bombs fell in a north-
eastern area where refugees
from London had been taken re-
cently.
The skv over London flickered
with anti-aircraft fire like the
flash of. summer lightning. The
Germans got down to business
quickly with a serious attack,
crossing and recrossing the
metropolis on bombing runs.
The central ' defense batteries
roared into action and painted
the clouds with the dull orange
of exploding shells. The early
barrage was as heavy as that of
any recent night. Few bombs
fell for a thne as -the bombers
appeared to be getting their

Occasionally a motor with a
different hum than that of the
familiar German Junkers Mer-
cedes BMW engine was heard.
These possibly were the motors
of British flight fighters. .e
(It was noted that the motors
might also be those of Italian
bombing planes reported by
Berlin and Rome to be partici-
puting in recent attacks on
Britain).
The German air attack ap-
peared to be spreading in scope

last night and during the early
morning hours over both Eire
and Northern Ireland Scotland.
The day raids were made by
fighter-bombers almost exclusive-
ly. The British described them as
“hit-and-run” and "nagging” at-
tacks. They gave London seven
