R. A. F. Exercises Will Commence Tonight And Continue Until Friday.

LONDON. Aug. 7——Royal Air F'_orce inuadrons will make mess Yiieht flights over France for the first time duriiig air exercises be- ginning tomorrow night.

Bombers of an “attiwking" force will fly south as far as Beauvais, 54 miles northwest, of pang, be_ fore turning back to England to simulate l‘8ldS_ on the area de. signaled by military authorities as the “\vc;stland" in the maiweurvres.

Other bombeis of the “eastla.nd" attackers will wheel over the North Sea testing defences against im- asmnrv raids lrom the direction of Germany.

The night. flights will follow two daylight mass demonstrations by Great. Britain over France this summer.

A blackout of Loiidori Thursday night will be a. feature of the air force exercises which end Friday.

More than 60,000 men will be employed in the tests involving 1.- 300 nircraft, anti-aircraft (tins, searchlighfs and balloons.

Freedom of Speech

"Freedom of speech is essential to democratic liberty, but it im- also a grave responsi.b1i.ty,"

“Yet there is one reflection on the past which will not be out of place. You hear criticism of tile Prime Ministers action at Munich last September. Even some of those who were most unrestrained in their gratitude to him then are most. vehement in denunciation of him now. But ought we not to ask ourselves how things would have worked out if Chamberlain had not reached an agreement at Munich?

“Here is this cheerlul holiday crowd which, in spite of a year of constant anxiety, is still living my peace. They owe that react: to Mr. Chamberlain's efforts and nothing ohzut. has happened since should permit. tiriem to forggt it.

“For war postponed may war averted. If Ilitl:~r's assurance at Munich that he had no further tcri'itoria.‘. ambitions in _Europc had been kept. it would have formed the basis of an under- sioitdiiig which would have been the strongest guarantee for future peace. It was not kept and the _ llcy we have since pursued was

If Cheat Britain were defeated, he said. it would throw a great share of responsibility for the de- fence of democracy upon the Unit- ed states and that fact gradually was being reoogrilmd there.

"Defeat of Britain would unleash upon a. defenoeless world the most mallgn and destructive energies

Charged In C 0 n n e c- tion With Illegal “Hot Oil” 0 p e r a- tions.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug‘. 7—Rteach- ins high among the political heirs of the late Huey P. Long, the United States Government today indicted Riciiard Leohe, former Governor of Louisiana, on a charge tie profited by $67. through illegal "hot oil" operations.

Named with hectic and accused of indking an identical sum I-I‘|X‘0U;'ZlV‘. evasion of oil production regulations was Seymour Weiss,

New Orleans hotel owner and one- to .

time financial right. hand man the slain “Kingfisiti.” Freeman Biirford, wealthy Dallas, Tex., oil man and the East Texas Refining Coinpany also were indicted in this I.i‘4ill“flC{l0l'l.

Income Tax Evasion

A second indictment announcal today by the Federal Grand Jury cliui-ged Weiss with income tax evasion and still another made a similar charge El aiiist the dapper hotel man and ms C. Iesage, forrner Standard Oil Cornpany of- ficial here. This same jury indict- ed these men on mail fraud charg- es 9. fcw weeks ago.

Leclie. Just six weeks out of the Governor's chair, appeared mi, the Federal Building soon after the indichxnents and was flnaerpnnted before being released on $5,000 band. He declined c-rrnmem, on the case, as did Wois, who made bond $15,000. They face possi-‘bis im- prisonment. for two years on each of the two oil counts.

Linked In Indictment

The name of New Orleans’ Mayor Robert S. Maeat.rl—who emerged with Leone and Weiss as

the rulers of the Long domain llI‘l£l' the Senator was shot: to death in 1935-appeared repeat- edly ln the oil indictment but he was accused of nothing.

In 1930 when title alleged illegal production ooourred, Maestrl was cotrrlrnlssloner of conservation and as such authorized the order where-by output; of certain wells was stepped up, but the indict- ment said he was fraurliilently misled by the co lratcos and no charge or implication was made against him.

Jap Air—-Iinaids On British Property Held Deliberate

Formal Protefio Tokyo May Follow Detailed Report Of Ichang Incident.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 7—(Al’)—Britisli official circles took llll increasingly grave view of two Japanese Kill‘ raids on British property near Ichang as more detailed reports came from the British gunboat Gannet which passed un- scathed through the Sunday attack.

Commander A. F. St. G. Orpen of the Gazinct. sent. word that the gunboat escaped destruction from one bomb which he asserted seemed to be aimed at the British ves- sel and landed 100 yards away.

Two British Yangtse River vessels were destroyed in the raids which killed four Chinese and injured a Canad- ian, H. J. Denyer, and. four Chinese near Ichang, more than 1,000 miles up the Yangtae from Shanghai.

“We have no information,” said a Japanese Army, spokesman. “If it happened, it is a regrettahl_e_mistake."
