Fleet Continued from Page 1 struction and said that "a lot of things are going to happen" to Adolf Hitler and Benito It was another of the British Prime Minister's dramatic war reports, and he ended it with this peroration: "Long, dark months of trial and tribulation lie before us.

Not only great dangers, but many more misfortunes, many shortcomings, many mistakes, many disappointments will surely be our lot. Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey, hardship our garment, consincy and valor our only shield" The Prime Minister declared flatly that the three- way axis pact "binds Japan to attack the United States it the United States comes into the war," hinted it contained sectet clauses and then cried defiantly: "Neither of the branches of the English-speaking race is tomed to react to threats of violence by submission. Cites U. S. Reception "And certainly the reception of this strange and ill declaration in the United States has not been at all encouraging for its authors." Churchill also charged the tripower pact "in a secondary degree is a point against Russia." although "primarily" aimed at the United States.

Churchill's hour-long war report made these other points, even while London's anti -aircraft guns rumbled faintly in the distance: 1. Hitler's month -old air total warfare on London and Britain's other great cities is diminishing in force, although 8,500 people have been killed and 13,000 wounded since Sept. 7 by an average of nearly 400 long -range bombers daily. Discipline Taken on Dakar Errors 2. Disciplinary action has been taken against persons responsible for "errors" in the ill-fated Anglo-French expedition against Dakar, by which French warships were allowed to pass the Straits of Gibraltar and defend the Senegalese colony.

Churchill disclosed that one British battleship and one heavy cruiser were damaged at Dakar; that two Vichy submarines were sunk, two destroyers fired. one cruiser was hit and the crippled battleship Richelieu further damaged by the British. He reaffirmed Britain's backing of the "Free French" cause. Keeps Nation Alert for Invasion Again, the Prime Minister kept the British on the alert against invasion dangers, declaring that Germany was keeping several hundred short range dive bombers at home, perhaps "in reserve for a general plan of invasion." Invasion has not been attempted primarily because of the succession of "brilliant victories gained by our fighter aircraft over largely superior numbers," the Prime Minister declared. "The three great days of Aug.

15, Sept. 16 and Sept. 27 have proved to all the world that here at home we have the mastery of the air." "these victories." Recounting, "if it were not for the resources of the New World which are becoming increasingly available it would be a long time before we should be able to do much more than hold our own." Churchill conceded that the property damage from the German air raids clared had at the been present severe, rate but he of dea struction it would take Hitler ten years to demolish half the homes of London and "quite a lot of things are going to happen to Hitler before ten years." Churchill set the date for the reBurma Foad Closing Ordered opening of the Burma road at Oct. 17. date of expiration of an agreement with Japan under which the British had hoped, Japan would reach an agreement with China on ending their long war.

Calls Pact Anti-Soviet Churchill explained that the step taken to enable Japan to compose her differences with China had no further meaning now that Japan, instead, had entered into a triple alliance with Germany and Italy. This alliance he called openly revival of the anti-Comintern pact.

Churchill suggested that the Dakar incident could easily be explained out of all proportion and confessed there had been both negligence and error in the passage of French ships through Gibraltar to the French West Africa port.

Backs De Gaulle Judgment. He bespoke confidence in the judgment of Gen. Charles De Gaulie, leader of French forces still fighting with Britain, that Dakarites had been friends of Free France until the arrival of those ships altered the situation. He gave assurance that sterner action against the enemy would follow that incident. Murmurs of approval greeted his statement that the effect of blitzkrieg had been far less damaging than some had feared, that Britain is stronger than she was three months ago, that her vital forces are more numerous rather than depleted.

England's experience with bombers has already made it possible to project compulsory retroactive insurance for property damage, he told Commons. Stresses New World's Riches Churchill declared Germany must also be increasing her strength by looting occupied countries and making some use of their skilled labor. Only the riches of the New World, becoming increasingly available, could counteract that, he said. As for Spain, Churchill said, she hovers between war and peace, but she needs peace and Britain hopes she will again "take her rightful place both as a great Mediterranean power and as a. leading and famous power in the family of Eu- rope and Christendom."

BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUESDAY, OCT. 8, 1940 11 an INDUCTED TO HIGH Brooklyn, left, who was judge of the U. S. Customs Thomas J. Walker of Butte, bench of the same court brother of Postmaster General Court Upholds Hines' Guilt Continued from Page 1 because the two-year period of limitation had expired since his last alleged crime, and argued the policy or number game is something less than a lottery.

The latter is 8 felony. The tribunal agreed to reverse the conspiracy count but the lower court in sentencing Hines suspended sentence on that particular count. The prosecution maintained "every court in the United States" to which the question had been presented held the numbers game constituted a lottery. Dewey, in obtaining conviction, relied mainly upon confessed Schultz associates who Weinberg, J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, Schultz's lawyer, and others.

The answer to Hines' contention that policy is not a lottery is "two fold," Finch held. Contends Law Covers Policy "The express language of the penal law is concededly broad enough to cover policy. Second, that policy is a lottery has been so held not only by this court but by the courts of every other jurisdiction which have been called upon to decide the question." "Are there an questions of law which compel us to nullify the judgment of conviction as supported by the facts as found?" Finch asked. "Even 1f technical errors exist, they must be disregarded and the judgment of conviction affirmed unless a substantial right of appellant would be thereby prejudiced." The court also rejected Hines' contention operation of a policy game other than by "insiders," prevents prosecution of a defendant as one tune principal participants. It further held it is "difficult to understand" Hines' contention that proof against him failed to establish that he assisted "in contriving, proposing or drawing a lottery." "In urging his contention." Finch declared.

"defendant fails to distinguish between a case where the only connection of a person with a lottery begins and ends with his performance of incidental acts specified and a case where such person performs acts in deliberate cooperation with those conducting and managing the lottery enterprise itself." Fixer of Policy Racket James J. Hines, 63-year-old former political overlord, was convicted on the night of Feb. 25, 1939. of being the prime fixer for the $5,000.000 Dutch Schulz policy racket. It was his second trial and it lasted five weeks, ending finally in victory for District Attorney Thomas E.

Dewey. He entered the Tombs Prison to serve a sentence of from four to eight years, but was released on bail pending his appeal of the verdict. His chief defense counsel wAs Llyod Paul Stryker. Martin W. Littleton handled the appeal.
