WASHINGTON, July (1. (U?> --
•Chairman Key Pittman, of the

jection of this country’s wurmng
that it would not tolerate the
transfer of western hemisphere
territory from one European
country to another, established h
foundation for future violations of
the .Itonroo Doe-trine.
Pittman and other congressional
leaders, including Chairman Sol
‘ Bloom of the house foreign af-
fairs committee, took sharp issue
with what they termed a German
insinuation that the United States
had violated the doctrine by inter-
fering In European matters.
Dual Rebuke
Sen. William H. King, D, Utah,
charged'that Germany already is
seeking “to influence or control"
South American governments.
A double-barreled rebuke direct-

Germany and Italy increased the tetapo of their war of nerves and aerial
bombardment against Great Britain today in a reported plan for a blitzkrieg air
pffeniive within the next 10. . , c
. Adolf Hitler, returning from field headquarters to a vast organized celebra-
tion in Berlin, was said to have approved plans for a six-day aerial bombardment
of the British isles by 3,000 airplanes including new models with "surprising,
death-dealing instruments."
One extremely important development was announcement by a Swedish
spokesman who said that permission has been granted for Germany to ship war
material^—>to be used in attack on Britain—across Sweden to Norway.
= Fascist Foreign Minister Count Goleano Ciano was en route to Berlin for
conferences Sunday with Hitler and other high Nazi officials, after which It was
hinted he might go to the front (presumably in western Europe) from which the of-
fensive against Britain will be launched. Italians repeatedly have said they would

Gliders To Carry Death
Signal Expected In 10 Days
STOCKHOLM, Sweden^ July 6 (U P.) German sources predicted today
that a blitzkrieg would be loosed on Great Britain within 10 days and
that it would begin with six days of incessant air bombings, with 3,000
pianos a day engaged
They said, the German planes would, include new and hitherto un-
used -models equipped with "surprising, death-dealing Instruments."
They predicted that marny bombers would toyv gliders packed witli
bombs to be released at random. Equipped with timing apparatus,
their wings would collapse, causing them .to fail.
It was reported that hundreds of these gliders had been assembled
at' Vernes airport, outside the Norwegian port of Trondheim.
