THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1940 m w:m RsnusD by mm m-mmm fib; BY WALLACE CARROLL LONDON, Sept. 12 t:.H German Ger-man war planes dumped bombs on the London area again today but were met with a new type antiaircraft anti-aircraft barrage that experts credited with success in protecting protect-ing the capital from massed rug lit bombing. German daylight raiders thrust at the southeast coast early in the afternoon but it was 4:38 p. m. (10:33 a. m. EST) before the day's first alarm sounded in London. Lon-don. The roar of German craft was heard high over the city a few minutes later and the London ground batteries, estimated to have fired 500,000 rounds last nicht and to have greatly reduced effectiveness of the Nazi attack, went Into action again. The all clear signal ending the first raid of the day sounded at 5:-i0 p. m., after an hour and two minutes. British experts were highly pleased with the new type defense of the capital. Military experts said that the system was based on a new "predictor" "pre-dictor" method. Another feature of the British defense was the continuous nature of the barrage. Instead of directing direct-ing fire at individual planes the British guns sent up a curtain of fire that canopied the metropolis. Anti-aircraft shell fragment; rained down like hail. Experts said that most of the "stuff which fell on London last night was antiaircraft anti-aircraft fragments and that only comparatively few bombs dropped." drop-ped." For the fifth night, the Germans Ger-mans attacked the capital in force at dark. This time, as their vanguard van-guard arrived, there was a sudden sud-den earth-shaking roar as hundreds hun-dreds of batteries, many of them silent for weeks past in hidden emplacements, went into action an action which they continued tor the eight hours and 59 minutes of a raid that ended at 5:35 a. m. It is unlikely that there could have been such a bombardment by anti-aircraft guns in history. The guns shook the city as even the heaviest German bombing's had failed to do. Watchers who had braved the fury of German attacks on top of buildings were forced to cover by a veritable rain of shell fragments. People who had slept through the heaviest bombing raids stayed awake all night. But the German planes did more damage, killed more people, left more people homeless and destitute. Two more hospitals were ait during the night. There were several terrific explosions as Heavy bombs were dropped. One of the big ones reduced a live story building to rubble. But a survey showed that damage dam-age was both more widespread and in sum much less severe than in the previous four mass raids. At least two German planes, and possibly four, were shot down over London itself, and the air ministry asserted that the Germans Ger-mans had lost in all 89 planes yesterday yes-terday against 24 British planes, the pilots of seven of which landed land-ed safe. A great, heavy canopy of blaCk smoke hung over the entire city and along all horizons this morning. morn-ing. But only the faintest of glows at widely scattered points told of fires caused by bombs, and the fire situation was under control to a greater extent than at any time since the terror raids started start-ed last Saturday night.

( THE DEPARTMENT STORE OF PROVO Shoe Dept. n 5 : v; t ft P n a t A comnrehensive oroeram of improvements to be made throughout through-out Utah county in preparation for the 1917 Utah centennial was recommended at a meeting of Utah comity commissioners, mayors may-ors and councilmen of the various communities, and Che Provo chamber cham-ber of commerce, here Wednesday afternoon. Clayton Jenkins, secretary of the chamber, was instructed to draw up the improvements suggested sug-gested by the delegates at the meeing, in connection with Sylvan Syl-van W. Clark, chairman of the county commission, and Mayor Mark Anderson of Provo, and forward for-ward the list to the state centennial centen-nial committee for consideration. Bfeomrmndatlons Made Improvements recommended included in-cluded development of scenic highways, high-ways, livestock trails, camping facilities, beautification of approaches ap-proaches to cities and towns, development de-velopment of airports, marking historic spots, etc. It was also recommended that community celebrations be made a part of the centennial program, including such celebrations as the Pleasant Grove, Strawberry day, Payson Onion day, American Fork Poultry day, the Provo July Fourth celebration, etc. Improvements in and about Provo Pro-vo recommended by Mayor Mark Anderson were as follows: Completing Com-pleting the Utah lake park at the mouth of Provo river, developing the airport adjoining the park, hard surfacing the road from Cox's corner to the mouth of Pro vo river serving the park and airport, air-port, grading and graveling the lake shore road from the mouth of Provo river due south five miles and connecting with - the Lake Shore and Benjamin road. Widening and hard surfacing the remaining eight and a half mile link of the Alpine scenic loop, improvement of the Provo canyon highway, including relocation and fencing of the sheep trail through the canyon, and finishing of the Provo canyon-Rock canyon scenic road by the forest service and ccc. Recommendations for important improvements were also made by the various other communities. GARBAGE-PLAN TO BE STUDIED The move to obtain a garbage removal and disposal system for Provo has been revived, with the board of utilities, at Mayor Mark Anderson's suggestion investigating investigat-ing various possibilities. Dr. Vasco M. Tanner, member of the board, recently returned from California, where he made a comprehensive study of the garbage gar-bage removal system at Palo Altar. He reported to the board that the California city has its garbage disposal system in connection with its other three utilities, lights, water and gas, and the people are billed for this service on their regular , utilities statement. A minimum charge of 65 cents per family per month is made. The board took the report under un-der advisement, according to J. Hamilton Calder, chairman, and in the meantime will make further furth-er studies before taking action.

But he warned against those whose actions, if not their words, show them to be the enemies of labor, and he promised that the administration adminis-tration in this emergency would not back down from its social objectives, ob-jectives, including the 40 - hour week and overtime penalties. "There are some," he said, "who would not only stop now the progress prog-ress we are rnaKing in social and labor legislation, but would even repeal what has been enacted during dur-ing the past seven years on tne plea that an adequate national defense de-fense requires the repeal. They would seek unlimited hours of labor lower wages cancellation of those safeguards " Mr. Roosevelt tagged as appeas-ers appeas-ers his national defense opponents and, indirectly, Mr. Willkie who, la.st Aug. 17, hinted fear that the president might be leading us to war. Certain employers, politicians politic-ians and newspapers who sought to mislead and intimidate labor in 1936, he said, again were active in this campaign. He said every human being must do his share and every dollar dol-lar of capital its share in national defense, and that corppulsory industrial in-dustrial co-operation was based on the same principle as that supporting sup-porting selective universal training train-ing of manpower. The president reaffirmed his hatred of war and rededicated himself to the 1940 Democratic platform plank which said: " 'We will not participate in foreign for-eign wars, and we will not send our arniy, naval or air forces to fight in foreign lands outside the Americas, except in case of attack. at-tack.
