Py HAROLD J. LASKI LONDON, Oct. 19 (NANA) (By wireless) We are clearly entering upon a new phase of the war. The Axis pact means nothing if it does not imply anxiety by the dictators to confine the struggle to Britain in the sure knowledge that victory over its people is about all for which their resources are adequate. They have failed in the blitzkrieg and they now want freedom to maneuver in new theatres of operation.

But they want to ensure themselves against the risks implied in extension of their front, and the threats to America and the Soviet Union are an effort to obtain this insurance. (lone Is Detachment We in Britain heard with immense satisfaction tho stirring replies by President Roosevelt' and Secretary Hull to the Axis threats. As long as a full understanding is maintained between ourselves and the Lnited States, we believe not only that we can hold, but also that we can maintain the pressure necessary to wear our opponents down. But that full understanding is essential and I think few things are more heartening to the average man than his sense that every responsible American utterance shows more and more dearly that the people in the United States have grasped what is at stake in this war. If is interesting to note what, has (Continued to Page 5, Column .1) coming.

It was estimated, however, that there were actually far more in attendance at the day's events than in 1939. The Los Angeles contingent of returning alumni was headed bv W. W.

Class Reunions The law college had class reunions for graduates of five, 10.

15 and 20 years ago. More than 45 attended the special luncheon in their honor held at the Pioneer hotel. Dean Emeritus Samuel Fegtley was there to greet the home comers, as were all members of the law faculty and its present dean, Dr. .1. Byron McCormick.

Melvin Goodson, secretary of the Arizona Alumni Association, spoke at the law luncheon, calling attention to the high regard which the state and nation pay to the college. The honors earned by many men graduated from the college reflects upon all others, no matter what their year of graduation, he said. Goodson announced at the luncheon, and again last night at the barbecue, that the alumni association will promote class reunions throughout the university for future homecomings. It will use the law college's idea of having the four classes gather each year, those who were graduated five, 10, 15 and 20 years prior to the reunion year. National Defense NO.

294 CATS TEAR UP GENTS 29 TO 6 AT HOMECOMING Black Leads Stampede in Roaring Contest At Stadium CROWD IS JUBILANT Six to Six Tie at Half Turned Into Rout In Final Johnny Black and his stampeding university of Arizona football team-mates treated a jubilant homecoming crowd of over 10.000 to a smashing 29 to 6 victory over the Gentlemen of Centenary college last night. It was a great personal triumph for Black, the all-conference left half who had been sidelined over three weeks with a shoulder injury, for Johnny personally accounted for two touchdowns and paved the way for another with his climax running and passing. And it. was doubly sweet for Johnny for while he was benched the sophomore sensations had just about stolen his thunder. Good Blocking While Black flashed meteor-like across the gridiron, you must remember it was lower-the-boom blocking and irresistible charging by those hard-working linemen that paved the way for Johnny's scintillating drives.

The statistical scoreboard shows that Black picked up 154 yards from scrimmage in 21 tries," for a grand average of 7.34 per carry. Despite the lop-sidedness of the score, the (rents battled the Wildcats to a hlis-ering 6 to 6 stalemate during the first half, and staved off a couple of other Arizona thrusts inside their own 20. Late in the first period it was Black who ignited Arizonas' first surge into touchdown territory. Black took Hamby's punt on his own 2) and sprinted back to the 37.

TAYLOR HENRY LONDON, Oct. 20 (Sunday) (A) High explosive bombs -dropped by German raiders in the heaviest early-evening assault since the battle of Britain becan killed many Londoners last night and caused "severe" damage in the British capital. One bomb landing outside a hotel killed an unannounced number of people in the bar; two others were killed when a Iwmb hit a cafe, and a direct hit which demolished a London dub caused an undetermined number of casualties. The furious pace of the raid continued on after midnight before a lull brought the "all dear" around 2 a. but it did not last long.

The raiders returned within a few minutes and another alarm was sounded. Outskirts Struck The Germans apparently concentrated on distant outskirts of the city as they resumed the assault, however. Only the sound of the outer defense guns was heard. When the salvos of bombs first poured down, it appeared that the raid might prove the heaviest attack of the war but for some reason the Germans did not continue the fast attack on the city itself in the early morning hours. Bombs scored a direct hit on a hospital, considerably damaging one block of wards.

There were heavy damage and undetermined casualties in another district of the city. Midlands Bombed The raiders also attacked the midlands, concentrating on two towns around which numbers of high explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped. Numerous fires were caused in one town, but were controlled by firemen. Houses were demolished but most of the people trapped in them were rescued.

She is sincere in her belief Political Cooperation With Nazis Promise Of Belgrade BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct. 19 (IP) Declaring "our collaboration is not only economic but political," Foreign Minister Alksander Cincar-Markovic tonight announced the signing of a new commercial pact for 1940-41 with Germany, despite authoritative reports that Germany is unable to deliver certain manufactures because of bombing damage. Hailing the pact as evidence of a "political collaboration" which has preserved Yugoslavia, the foreign minister said "this policy should be continued." Capitals Watched While the Reich's latest economic fence mending in the Balkans came at a time when the capitals of Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey were active with reports of Axis plans for further penetration of southeastern Europe, authoritative sources disclosed the Reich is meeting difficulties in keeping her barter engagements in the Balkans.

One source said that in th negotiations here the Germans had admitted that because of laU.r and material shortages a strain is be- ine placed on the barter system i and that are unable to deliver many of the manufactures badly needed in the Balkans.

Oct. 19. .1 RAF gave Germany's "invasion coast" a Saturday-night plastering tonight in a rolling attack which shook houses along the Kent shore 22 miles on this side of the channel.

The British bombers shuttled across the channel in bright moonlight. A low-flying mist hid the French coastline itself but the starlit sky above was sprinkled with bursting German anti-aircraft shells. For more than three hours British bombers hovered and dived through thick clouds over Hamburg last night to heavily bomb the Blohm and Yoss "where German warships are known to be under construction," the British reported. Damage Reported Heavy damage also was believed by the raiding pilots to have leen done the Germania shipyards at Hamburg, the air ministry news service said. Despite rain, fog and ice, it added, British airmen plastered heavy cargoes of explosives also on the naval base of Kiel, commercial docks at Emden and Eubeck, and many other targets inside Germany, including a big aluminum mill at Lunen, near Dortmund, the river port of Duisberg in the Ruhr, railways near Schwerte, Dortmund, and Osnabruck, and an airdrome at Stade.

Because of clouds, the bulletin said, the raiding airmen were forced to "spend considerable time maneuvering above the target area" at Hamburg. However, the shipyards were reported hard hit in a "series of individual sorties which began shortly after midnight and continued at intervals for nearly three and a half hours." Ruhr Factories Bombed A bright moon over the Ruhr enabled the pilots to observe vio lent explosions and fires which "threw out greenish white smoke puffs like giant Chinese firecrackers" when bombs were dropped on the aluminum works at Lunen. This attack was described as from a low level, despite intense anti-aircraft fire. From a low level also sticks of high explosive bombs were tossed across a dockside factory at Duisberg, causing a string of intense fires which the pilots were able to see 20 minutes after they departed for home, the air ministry said. The ministry said it lost but one plane in the raids.

(Continued to Fage 15, Col. 4) HARD WORK IS WILLKIE MAGIC! i Attack on Business Has Hurt Farmers Says Candidate MIXXEAPOLIS, Oct. 19. (JP) Saying he had not promised "to pull white rabbits out of tall silk hats," Wendell L. Wilikie de clared tonight that "a safe, strong and prosperous America COUld be I accompnsnea only oy 'nam worK, faith in ourselves and sound lead- ership in government." I Although devoted primarily to farm problems, the text prepared by the Republican presidential nom-j inee also urged a strong national defense and contended that the New Deal has been leading the nation on the road to bankruptcy.

Farm Problem Solution of the farm problem, he said, does not lie ''in sudden de cisions and trick schemes designed to catch votes." but must be evolved step by step from past experience. The insane attack that the New-Deal has carried on against business and industry for the last eight years has hurt the farmers," Wilikie 'said. He added that re-employment in industry would create vast new-farm markets, and continued: "The quarrel I have with the present administration is that the New Deal does not believe those 'foreign and domestic' markets can be restored, whereas I do." Conference Sought He reiterated his suggestion for a conference of farm, labor and industrial representatives to develop "a unmeet program iui ium-i progress." Declaring that "there is neither magic nor trick" to putting men back to work and creating new purchasing power for farm products, the candidate asserted: "I have not promised to pull white rabbits out of tall silk hats. We can accomplish the miracle of a safe, strong and prosperous America, but we can accomplish it only by the magic that has always been ivithin the power ot tne Amtnu.i rvnl hard work, faith in our selves and sound leadership in (rnvprn ment." Contending that it is necessary for the executive branch of government to be well managed, YS lllkie said that any business or farm man- aged as the government i. -for seven and a half years would be "dangerously along the road to bankruptcy." Merry-Go-Kound "For instance' he continued, "farmers in the middle west are iScted to -strict the acreage of corn.

They are told that will reduce the corn surplus. But Then we discover that the farmers IS the south, who have been n-ructed to restrict the acreage of cotton, are planting corn.

LOCHXER BERLIN, Oct. 19(An authorized Nazi commentator declared today that if Greece and Turkey don't see that their bread is buttered on the side of the Axis, it is just too bad for them. He added, however, that Germany does not need to get excited or to exert pressure on these British-guaranteed nations. In the Wilhelmstrasse, reports that Germany and Italy had made territorial and other demands upon Greece were denied categorically.

(The often-authoritative Fascist weekly, Relazioni Internazionali, indicated in Rom, however, that such demands might be impending. The weekly said Italian influence in the Balkans and Mediterranean hereafter would be unrestricted.) Nazis Scornful "Why should we put any country under pressure?" the German commentator countered to the inquiries of foreign correspondents. "It is already evident, with the inexorability of a natural law, that the new-order in Europe will be determined by Germany and Italy. Whoever sees that and arranges his nation's affairs accordingly can lead a sovereign existence in peace and quiet once this war is over." Then he warned: "But nobody who remains from throwing in his cause with the Axis need le surprised if he finds, afterward, that he has missed the boat." The commentator expressed belief that the Greeks "a clever, wise people" realize "what a transformation Europe is undergoing." As for Turkey, non-belligerent a'lv of Britain, he said: "There is no indication of any kind that Turkev intends to play a role similar to roland Eden Watched Reports that the British war sec-rotary, Anthony Eden, might proceed from Egypt to Istanbul drew this: "We can only smile at such an ignoramus. as if we could be influenced in any way by such a maneuver!" Wilhelmsfrasse officials themselves professed to be surprised at world interest in the Balkans and insisted events in Greece and Turkey were only incidental to the Axis that "much larger issues are at stake somewhere else." They declined to comment on reports that the Axis was seeking new contact with Soviet Russia with a view to fixing spheres of influence in the Xear East.

However, one informed source observed: "At least, this idea isn't nonsensical." PHOENIX SEEKING TO HELP WILLKIE rilOEXIX. Oct 19 PiRepublicans launched a "nickel-for-Willkie" campaign here today after reading a Thursday newspaper story headline "Wilikie needs more money." The story quoted Ernest T.
