WASHINGTON. Oct. l'7—'I'hc Senate heard today, during de- bate on the administration's pro- posed repeal of the arms embargo, a suggestion from Senator Dannlier lRrip-Conneotlcutl that Great Britain and France ccdc to tho United States their western hem- isphere islnnd possessions.

"Still what man has done. man can do again, particularly if this

Attacks Part 0f Lightning

(By Melvin K. Whlteleather) (Associated Press Staff Writer) BERLIN, Oct. 17 —fAP) -Gcr-

man raids on the important Brit- ish naval base at Scapa Flow-by I rwplane today and by submarine Saturday-were described by Ger- man officials tonight as part of a lightning campaign to break Brit- ish resistance.

Niiws of the air attack on Scapa Flow came whil-e German officials still were jubilant over yrsterdays nir raid on the Firth of Forth and the submarine assault at Sczipa Flow which resulted in sinking of the 29.150400 battleship Royal Oak Saturday.

"England no longcr is mistress of the seas." newspapers asserted.

The German press reflected of- ficial views that. the lightning cam- paign against the British Fleet was Germany's reply to the refusal of the Allies to make peacc on Adolf Hitler's te'ms including recognition i‘ his conquest of Poland.

"After a week or l0 days of this uninterrupted attacking Britain will sce what ls left. of her Fleet,“ said one highly-placed official.

Finland Looks To Conference For Support

HELSINGFORS, Oct. 17—Fin— land looked to the Conference of northern neutral powers in Stock- 101m tomorrow for support and pnidance in her critical negotia- 110115 with Soviet Russia.

A Government spokesman said it was almost certain Dr. Julio Passi- klvi, chief Finnish negotiator with Russia, would not return to Mos- cow before Fridav night after the return of President Kyoesti Knllio from the conference in Sweden.

Foreign Minister Eljos Erkko and Prime Minister Almo K. Cajander discussed the Russian proposals t0- day with Paoslklvi.

A spokesman szild no reply to the Russian Government had been agreed upon and the meeting in Stockholm muy "influence further proceedings."

Although defence precautionary measures continued, prospect of the Stockholm conference relaxed tension among the citizens for thc first time in the past fortnight.

Helsingfors tried a partial black- out tonight. Most of the stores, hotels and other huildl had window's covered and cioctrc signs

bombers were sighted. The Admir- alty announced “no damage was done and no casualties were sus- tained. One German aircraft is reported lo have been destroyed."

It was the second successive day that the Gel-man air force had struck at British naval depots. Yos- torday between 12 and l4 planes made a serics of raids on the Firth of Forth, inflicting super- ficial damage on the cruisers South- ampton and Edinburgh, and the destroyer Mohawk. but ouch of these ships is ready to take to the sea again.

Latest casualty lists showed 17 naval men were killed in yester- day's attadcs and 43 were injured

The net result of the raids on the two naval stations was the loss of at least six and perhaps nine (lcrmun bombers. with nc liziblc damage to three British warships. And the attack upon the cast coast late

today cost tho Germans two more aircraft, while the Bri- I tish fighters returned safely to
