In the heart of a nation at peace and against the backdrop of a world at war, Mr. Roosevelt will place his left hand upon an ancient Bible at the stroke of noon, raise his right hand and solemnly swear that he will: Faithfully execute the office of prcsirleyif of fhe United States; and nill, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States." The moment he utters those words, the two-term tradition will have ended officially and the nation will embark on four presidential years destined perhaps to be as fateful as any in its history. Tremendous Decisions Are Asked Ahead of the President lie decisions of tremendous scope. His third inauguration comes at a moment when the nation and the world are awaiting the outcome of a pending congressional battle over legislation that would bestow upon Mr. Roosevelt broad powers Applause LONDON, Jan.

Roosevelt Foes VALETTA, Malta, Jan. 19 (UP) Fifteen axis planes were shot down today in a spectacular mass air attack on this besieged British fortress in the Mediterranean. Considerable damage was done )o civilian property. Malta's 400-year-old church being bombed for the second time in 48 hours.

Only one British plane was lost in heating off the large-scale attack, which followed three rapid dive-bombing raids by German was downed over the channel yesterday afternoon. A raider dived on an East Anglian coastal town yesterday morning and dropped five high explosives near the seashore, killing and wounding a number of persons. The plane then machine-gunned the main street of a neighboring town, shattering shop windows and causing other damage. Two of six persons wounded Saturday in the machine-gunning of a train in East Anglia died yesterday. London was quiet early today and had had little action since the night alarm sounded soon after dusk.

A few high explosives were reported from a district on the outskirts of the capital. Otherwise the city was peaceful except for widelv-spaced flurries of defense fire. By midnight the attack had subsided, and all indications were that the volunteer firemen and emergency crews had the situation well in hand. Their effective work fol-lowered by a few hours the broadcasting of an official warning describing the Nazi fire-bombers as the "advance guard of invasion." The crews handled the incendiaries so swiftly that the raiders had to rain flares to light their target. Relatively few high explosive bombs were dumped on the town, and tentative reports indicated the damage was comparatively light.

Despite appearances at widely-scattered places in Britain, the raiders concentrated mainly on the South coast.

Behind them and Nazi dive bombers which were said to have delivered another smashing attack today en the crippled British aircraft earner Illustrious at Valletta, Malta, a mass of facts and rumors piled up drawing attention to the Mediterranean war. Conference Rumored Strong rumors, not officially denied, circulated in Berlin that Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini had a conference during the day.

A government spokesman told enquirers "nothing is known" and well-informed sources who asserted definitely that the meeting had been held could not say where the axis leaders had met or what they had discussed. Phone Service Cut Authorized sources said the telephone communication between Rome and Berlin would be cut for toe next two days but refused to give a reason. Several press services were refused connections by the Well after midnight the all-clear sounded in the metropolitan area after a long lull. The raids were jthe first of any consequence since i Friday night. second night bomber was believed to have been shot down.

The air ministry announced that a bomber "stukas" late Saturday. In addition to the 400-year-old church, another parish church was damaged in Sunday raids. (Fascist quarters in Rome have indicated that the German and Italian air forces have joined in an effort to "wipe out" Malta and sever the Mediterranean at its narrow waistline.) The shooting down of 15 enemy planes brought, to at least 25 the number of axis air raiders destroyed over Malta in the past two days, 10 or 13 raiders having been brought down Saturday. The Saturday toll included seven Junkers SSs shot by British defense planes, and three downeri by antiaircraft fire. Three others were believed to have been destroyed or badiy damaged.

Laval, Petain Meet, Settle Differences to lend or lease American armaments to embattled democracies. It comes at a time when, in Mr. Roosevelt's own Words, the United States faces "an emergency as serious as war itself." Taking the gravity of the world situation into consideration, the President himself requested that there be no elaborate ceremonies on this historic occasion. He set the pattern by limiting his inaugural address to 12 minutes the same length as his first inaugural address in the bank crisis and depression days of 1933. and eight minutes shorter than his 1937 speech.

Defense Will Be Theme The inaugural parade has been curtailed by comparison with that of four years ago. In keeping with the theme of the times, the parade will emphasize national defense. Weather permitting, 280 army and navy planes will roar overhead. And, for the first time, officers and men of the army's new armored force, equipped with motorcycles, scout cars, tanks, antiaircraft guns, antitank guns and heavy field pieces will participate in an Inauguration.

President Gives Foe Letter To Churchill WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (AP) Wendell Willkie will take a personal message from President -Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill of England. The President, interrupted work on his inauguration address today to pen the message in his own hand and gave it to Willkie during a brief conference they held at the White House. Confer At White House The two men who battled for the presidency in last fall's political compaign talked in Mr.

Roosevelt's oval study for about. 30 minutes. Cordell Hull, secretary of state, was with them. "We talked about the European situation," Mr. Willkie told reporters as he left, "and the President gave me a very pleasant personal note to Mr.

Churchill. It is more than just a formal introduction." The message was addressed, "Dear Churchill." Mr. Willkie declined to reveal the contents. The envelope containing the note was addressed "To a Certain Naval Person. Kindness of W.

Willkie." Mr. Churchill formerly was first lord of the admiralty and shares Mr. Roosevelt's interest in ships. Willkie Outlines Plans Mr. Willkie said he outlined to the President his plans for the forthcoming two-week tour of England, advising the chief executive that he wanted to talk with all the officials who could see him and that he particularly wished to confer with Ernest Bevins, minister of labor, and Anthony Eden, foreign minister.

He will leave by clipper, Wednesday. Stephen Early, presidential secretary, gave this description of the meeting between the President and the 1940 Republican presidential nominee: "I won't he long I know what it is to he interrupted while laboring on a speech," Mr. Willkie said at his entrance. Mr. Roosevelt extended his hand and said he was glad to see Mr.

19 (AP) Opponents of the administration's lease-lend bill for aid to Britain today applauded Joseph P. Kennedy's stand on the measure, and expressed hope he would expand on his criticism of it when he testifies this week before the house foreign affairs committee. In a radio address last night, the retiring ambassador to Britain, although urging aid for the British, said he did not feel the nation faced "such immediate danger as to justify this surrender of the authority and responsibility of congress." Broad Powers Involved The bill would give the President broad powers to send arms, at whatever terms he deemed satisfactory, to nations fighting aggressors. Commenting on Kennedy's address, Hamilton Fish, New York Republican, said he endorsed "the sentiment it contains in every respect." Fish added that when Kennedy appeared before the committee, he wanted to question him at. length concerning the bill's "delegation of warmaking powers and control of the purse" to the President.

The New Yotker opposes the bill in its present form, but said he would be "glad to support" it if it were amended to "preserve constitutional powers for congress." "Ostrich Speech" Sol Bloom, New York Democrat, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, declared, on the other hand, that Kennedy made "just another ostrich speech, with his head deep in the sands of unreality." The chairman said he still preferred to "take the advice of Secretaries Hull, Morgenthau, Stimson and Knox and Knudsen and, above all. that of Franklin I. Roosevelt." William S. Knudsen, defense production chief, and the cabinet members were witnesses before the committee last week and all urged enactment of the hill as a measure necessary for this country's defense.

2. Security in the east "because of Russian-G a friendship. 3. Security on the eat and south because of the political situation in the Balkans "which extends southward through the alliance with Italy." 4. Domination of large strips of territories in the north and west.

Chief of state, announced he had talked with his former foreign minister and vice-premier and that their "misunderstandings" have been "dissipated." The announcement, opened the way for Laval's return to the government and indicated that. French-German negotiations, which stalled as soon as he broke with Petain last December 13, would be resumed. Meeting Is Important I For that reason particularly, observers here regarded the meeting yesterday as of prime importance.

It is believed now that the principal German objection to continuing collaboration discussions Laval's "Black Friday" resignation soon will be removed. The reconciliation took place aboard Petain's private train in the village of La Ferte. the last French settlement before the line separating occupied and unoccupied France. Interview Is Long i Laval, who had come from Paris wearing, as usual, his famous white necktie was waiting when the marshal's train arrived and boarded it immediately for the interview, which lasted an hour and 25 minutes, Petain was in civilian 'clothes. After the meeting Laval returned to Paris and Petain continued by train to Sainte Germaine des Fosses where he took an automobile back left Kassalla.

Foes of the legislation have centered much of t.h?ir criticism on the contention that it would give the chief executive "too much power." Congress will sidetrack everything tomorrow, including formal consideration of the aid-to-Britain bill, to devote the day to inauguration of Mr. Roosevelt. The next day, however, legislative business is scheduled to get going with a rush.

The house already has arranged to debate an "urgent" request lrom the navy for a $00,000,000 strengthening of the fleet's antiaircraft defenses and proponents of the necessary legislation predicted it would pass with little or no opposition.

By chance, neutral envoys will sit in such an order as to separate all hostile factions.

Will Review Parade The diplomats also will review the inaugural parade from the Court of Freedom. Trains, airplanes, busses and automobiles brought thousands of persons to Washington during the week-end. The inaugural committee estimated that nearly 1,000,000 would witness all or part of the ceremonv. The U. S.

Weather Bureau promised "fair and continued cold" with temperatures ranging from a low of about 18 to a high of 30 about the time the procession starts. Four years ago there was a cold, pelting rain. Temporary grandstands and bleachers with seats selling rapidly at $2 to $10 were ranked along streets on the line of march. They will accommodate about 25,000 spectators. Other thousands will watch from office and hotel windows and tens of thousands of others will attempt to see the procession from sidewalks.

Buildings were swathed in red. white and blue bunting. Cloth banners bearing likenesses of Mr. Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace, vice-president-elect, fluttered in the stiff breeze over doorways.

All buildings and homes displayed the American flag. Some were decorated in red, white and blue lights giving the capital a holiday atmosphere. Mr. Roosevelt kept, his Sunday calendar clear to put the finishing touches on his inaugural address and rest.

John's Episcopal Church, where, in keeping with a tradition established by Pres. James Madison in 1816 and maintained by every president since, Mr. Roosevelt will kneel in prayer in pew No. 54 and ask Divine guidance. During church services, the nation will be asked to pray with the President in a five-minute radio broadcast.

There, at noon, he will step to the front of an elevated platform and take the oath which will be administered as in his previou two inaugurations by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.

Churches of all denominations included special prayers for the President and the government of the United States.

In the afternoon, leaders of the Catholic. Protestant and Jewish faiths joined in prayer for Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Wallace at the Court of Freedom in interdenominational religious services described as a "solemn symbolization of the solidarity of the American people."

Willkie declared that the lease-lend measure "is a symbol of aid to Britain" and added: "Feeling so strongly that, if Britain doesn't win, liberty mav be in danger here, I think we should give Britain all possible aid quickly and effectively.
