Aerial Casualties
Mar Exercise of
British War Power
5-Man Bomber Vanishes
In North Sea; Four
Die in Crash
B? the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 9—Britain’s big
show of air, sea and land power was
marred today by aerial casualties—a
five-man bomber vanished in the
North Sea, four flyers died in a
flaming crash and four were forced
to "bail out” of a third bombing
plane.
A checkup established that a Well
ington bomber disappaered at 2:30
a.m. today and was believed to have
plunged into the sea east of Yar
mouth.
It was near Tollerton, in rural
Yorkshire, that the four flyers died
in a crash.
The four airmen who took to their
parachutes over Thetford were
slightly bruised. They had been
ordered to jump by a flight sergeant
who himself stuck to the controls
and landed the bomber with damage
only to the undercarriage.
Eastland vs. Westland.
The aerial exercises—a mythical
struggle between "Eastland” and
“Westland”—were resumed at dawn
today with about 1,300 of Britain's
best warplanes in action. Waves of
"raiders,” about 500 planes in all.
approached a secret target from the ,
east.
Weather conditions which favored
the defenders last night turned
highly advantageous for the in
vaders. some of whom found con
cealment above low clouds.
When overhanging clouds per
sisted late today the air command
ordered a 24-hour postponement of
the big blackout covering half of
England, including London, which
was to have started at 12:30 a.m.
Thursday.
rr'Y, _ _ ; : „ : _ 4 _i. .1 n j _ ’
-***'- c*** umiiouj i cjAn w;u uint vie- ;
spite cloudy weather and poor visi
bility, the "observer system is work- 1
ing perfectly” and every "Eastland” !
raider which crossed the coast in ■
11 swift attacks last night was quick
ly spotted.
Throughout the night giant
searchlights combed the skies and
anti-aircraft guns were sighted on
"raiders.” Bombers were equipped
with outside flashlights to glow each
time a theoretical bomb was dropped,
and whether it hit the objective was
recorded on the ground by photog
raphy. Anti-aircraft gunners' “hits"
also were checked photographically.
Using Secret Equipment.
Besides guns, lights, a balloon bar
rage and the usual listening ap
paratus. the defenders were reported
to be using effective new secret air
defense equipment.
The high point of the maneuvers
in the air comes tomorrow night with
a gigantic blackout covering half of
England, including London. Esti
mates were that it would involve
some 200,000 air raid precautions
personnel.
Householders, restaurants, railway ,
stations, factories and newspaper
offices are to curtain their windows
during the blackout, which starts at
12:30 a m. Friday. Traffic lights will
be hooded and the street lights will
be turned off. Trains, buses and
automobiles will operate with lights
shielded from the skies. Officials
warned that those who fail to co
operate may receive a visit from
the police or air raid wardens.
King George Reviews
British Reserve Fleet
WEYMOUTH, England, Aug. 9 (fP). j
—In a heavy mist stabbed by the
fire of saluting guns, King George
VI today boarded the royal yacht
Victoria and Albert for a review of
133 warships—the reserve fleet which
Britain is tuning to war-time pitch.
A thin rain was falling as the King
was joined aboard the yacht by Rear
Admiral Jean Darlan. supreme com
mander of French naval forces.
The King spent the morning in
specting personnel and visiting rep
resentauve snips, me nrst warship
he boarded was the aircraft carrier
Courageous, where he passed down
the lines of 1.500 men on the flight
deck—part of the reservists called up
to man the refurbished fleet.
A royal barge was ordered to take '
the King from the yacht at 3 p.m.'
for a high-speed trip past the lines j
of ships anchored across Weymouth !
Bay.
After the review and two weeks of
shakedown the second-line ships will
join the mighty home fleet for ex
tensive maneuvers in connection
with the August-September pre
paredness period on which Britain
has embarked.
All types of British fighting craft
were drawn up for the passage of
the King through the review lines
aboard a royal barge—from the
29.150-ton battleship Revenge to
small, highly maneuverable torpedo
motorboats.
Manning the fleet were 14.000 re
servists commanded by Vice Admiral
Sir Max Horton, World War sub
marine ace, who played bridge on
his ship in the mud of Helgoland
Bight while German destroyers were
combing the surface for him.
Naval experts say the reserve fleet
has been radically improved in the
past three years. Formerly it was
used to "prop up the dockyard wall'
—that is, kept mostly at anchor
during peacetime—and could not
have been readied for the sea for
many weeks.
Now naval experts declare it is
in almost complete readiness for
war. Each ship today carried war
time quotas of fuel, stores and am
munition.
Young Film Stars Welcomed
By Enthusiastic Throng
pt. i
Mickey Rooney arrived here today, grabbed a horn from a
member of the Police Boy’s Club Band—on hand at Union Sta
tion for a serenade—and started swinging it. Judy Garland, who
accompanied him here, called for a No. 3 blunt instrument to
silence him when she found her baton inadequate.
—Star Staff Photo.
It was a royal reception that
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland
got at Union Station this morning—
slightly less formal than that ac
corded their Britannic majesties, but
still on the pomp-and-ceremony
side.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen. >
preferring a white summer suit to
diplomatic morning clothes, was on
hand to put the official stamp on
the event.
Capitol Theater chorines, yawning
visibly in the dawn's early light,
but dressed for the occasion in
woolly shakos and pseudo-military
jackets, complete with abbreviated
shorts, formed the honor guard with
a delegation of theater ushers.
1,000 on Hand to Cheer.
The Metropolitan Police Boys’
Club Band played the “Beer Barrel
Polka" and about 1.000 fans, mostly
of the younger set, were on hand
to cheer.
There was one casualty. A sta
tion policeman tried to open a
w-indow and banged his head. He
was removed in a wheelchair.
The diminutive stars—Mickey is
an inch or two shorter than Judy— ,
were alternately overwhelmed ana
convulsed in giggles.
They made faces for the pho
tographers. They said the rignt
things to the radio audience until
the announcer commented on how
i fresh they appeared so early in tne
morning.
"We both took showers,” Mickey
explained gravely.
"Oh, Mickey,” Judy chided, "over
the radio. Showers!”
Mothers of both the youngsters
stepped off the train with them, but
after the first moment of introduc- i
tions they laded into the back
ground and were not seen there
at ter.
Judy Takes the Baton.
After the broadcast red-nairea
Judy and grinning Mickey startea
down the concourse between their
•jii■;
guard of honor. At that point tne
boys’ band struck up the "Beer Bar
rel Polka.” Mickey started to strut.
“Gee,” he said, “this is wonderful."
Judy promptly took over the baton
and Mickey blew the trumpet. They
went through a chorus of the polka.
Then another and another.
Meanwhile they had shaken hands
with a number of youngsters from
the Metropolitan Police Boys' Club.
Mickey is a member and has been
for some two years. MaJ. Ernest
W. Brown, chief of Metropolitan
Police, patted Mickey on the shoul
der while other officials of the
boys’ club looked on.
The youngsters—Judy is 16. Mickey
18—seemed to be having fun.
"Gosh, we never expected any
thing like this," murmured Mickey
as he climbed into Commissioner
Hazen’s car for the trip downtown
to a hotel.

terday Wang Ching-wei, former pre
mier of China, would make a radio
appeal for peace today probroly

Gen. Franco lightens
Direct Control Over
Spain's Government
Heads National Defense
Council; Ministry of
War Split Up
By the Ajsocf&ted Press.
BURGOS, Spain, Aug. 9.—Fran
cisco Franco assumed greater direct
control of Spain's government today
through a ministerial reorganiza
tion to promote peacetime recon
struction of the nation.
Gen. Franco, as President of the
government, retained the supreme
right to promulgate laws of a gen
eral character and may issue de
crees without consulting the cabinet
whenever national emergencies arise.
In such cases, however, he must
inform the cabinet of his action.
Adding to the generalissimo's di
rect control were the splitting^ of
national defense into ministries of
marine, army and air with Gen.
Franco in executive command of a
new national defense council and
absorption of the old vice presidency
of the government hj’ the presidency,
Franco’s post.
Vice Presidency Replaced.
Gen. Franco created a subsecre
taryship of the presidency in place
of the vice presidency.
Count Francisco Gomez Jordana
has been vice president and minis
ter of foreign affairs. The latter
portfolio was retained in the new
setup but the names of ministers re
tained or to be appointed to fill new
posts created by the three-way divi
sion of the defense ministry had not
vet been made known.
Other ministries called for in the
! new lineup were Justice, finance,
industry and commerce, agriculture,
national education, public works
and labor.
The labor ministry was substi
! tuted for the old ministry of or
ganization and syndical action.
Aim to Aid Reconstruction.
The reorganization decree in part
j said that “The war having ended
and the task of reconstructing the
1 nation begun, it is necessary to
adapt the organs of government
* * * rapidly and efficiently to
; carry out the national reconstruc
| tion and the aggrandizement of
Spain.
"These circumstances make ad
visable a more direct and personal
! action by the chief of state in the
1 government of the nation and also
the splitting of such ministerial ac
tivities as defense, which, though
fused In one because of the exi
gencies of the war. now would ham
per the work of making the forces
of land, sea and air a permanent
organ of work under direct orders
of the generalissimo."

Forster, Returning
From Seeing Hitler,
To Address Nazis
Speaks Tomorrow Night
To Mass Meeting of
Danzig Citizens
Br the Associated Press.
FREE CITY OF DANZIG, Aug. 9.
—Danzig Nazi Leader Albert Forster
is returning to the Free City with his
latest instructions from Fuehrer
Hitler and will speak to a mass
meeting of Danzig citizens tomorrow
night, it was announced today.
Party leaders announced that
Forster, his adjutant Felix Strang
mann, and Wilhelm Zarske, head
of the Nazi district chancellery, had
flown to Berchtesgaden and con
ferred with Hitler.
On his return trip Forster spent
several hours in Prague yesterday
on a private visit, it was said. He is
expected to arrive in Danzig some
time tonight.
Big Turnout Sought.
Whether Forster will bring a per
sonal message from Hitler to Danzig
citizens could not be learned. Party
officials said he was expected to em
phasize in nis address the "unbear
able war threat of the Poles against
Danzig.”
Efforts to bring out a huge crowd
for the meeting, which will be held
In a square In downtown Danzig,
were started immediately. The
speech was scheduled to begin at 8
pm. '2 pm . E S T.}.
Forster visited Hitler at the 6ame
time the Danzig Senate softened its
attitude toward Poland to the ex
tent of agreeing to negotiate a
thorny problem of Polish customs
control in the Free City.
Margarine Imports Barred.
The Senate answered a sharp
note from Marian Chodacki, Polish
commissioner for Danzig, Monday
with an offer to discuss the number
and competence of Polish customs
inspectors in Danzig. Poland has
refused to permit the export of Dan
zig margarine to Poland until the
Senate takes measures to assure re
spect for the function of Polish
customs control in the Free City.
At the time the Senate agreed to
negotiate the dispute, Forster was
with Hitler, but officials hero would
not discuss any possible connection
between the two events. The tone
of Forster's speech as indicated by
party associates will not be softer
i than the strong accents which have
i dominated Danzig Nazi utterances
