$500 Bombers
To Make 4 TRIPS
Each "a Hours
Raid on Parliament
In Prospect After
Reichstog Attack
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER.

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Sept. 11.-Ten thou
sand plane loads Of German
bombs are to be sent daily to
the London area in smashing at
tacks in the next few DAYS, ex-
ceptionally well-informed Ger
man sources said today.
These sources said there would
be $500 planes. making four
daily trips between French sup
ply bases and the British capi-
tai. They were to start either
late today or tomorrow, a spokes-
man said. The bombers are
based in Germany, the source
said, but will fly to the French
coast for the attack and there
take off for London.
Il wouldn't give one farthing for
the Houses of Parliament, said this
informant, man whose connections
with Reichsmarshal Hermann Will
hell Goering are especially close.
May Attack Windsor Castle.
Now that our Reichstag building
has been bombed there is no reason
why we shouldn't bomb the British
Parliament out of existence If they
try to hit the Chancellery, Bucking-
ham or Windsor Castle will go as
surely as you live"
"a delayed action bomb ex-
ploded yesterday in a wing of
Buckingham Castle, the British
government announced today)
This informant asserted the
British are already licked and don't
know it."
Asked whether the air force alone
would prove sufficient to effect
Britain's capitulation, thereby elm
mating the necessity of attempting
troop landings, the informant said,
when last talked with the Reichs-
marshal. he left this question open"
1T all depends" he continued,
ION now we'll the British fight back.
1t is conceivable that England will
collapse under the weight of our
air force attacks, in which case in
vaSion will be unnecessary. But
we are prepared either way"
London Area Vital to War.
In concentrating on London, au-
thorized sources said. Germany
was guided by the consideration
that one-third OF England'S "po-
tentiels de guerre" are situated in
the London area. This means not
only munitions plants and aircraft
works but such things as food sup
plies and the manufacturing prod
ucts necessary in larger sense for
the conduct of the war, storage
goods of all kinds, coal supplies, gas
and electric works, authorized
sources said.
They declared London differs
strategically from other capitals,
such as Berlin and Paris, in that
there is practically no distinguish
ing line between military objectives
and purely civilian sections.

the Burke -Wadsworth conscription
bill
Meeting in an all-day session and

agreed to a long portion of minor
discrepancies between Senate and

Still to be considered, and widely
predicted by members of Congress
to be certain of failure in confer
ence, was the Fish amendment. which
would delay the draft for so days
while President Roosevelt issued a
call for 100000 volunteers.
The conferees agreed ''it is the
expressed policy of the Congress that
whenever a vacancy is caused in the
employment rolls of any business
or industry" because of the draft
that such vacancy shall not be
filled by any person who is a mem

Result Of Primaries
Shifts Spotlight
To ; Senators
Shipsteod, Ashurst and
Vondenbere Centered
On Political Stage
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Primaries yesterday in eight States
scattered from New England to the
Pacific Coast focused the spotlight
today on three Senators-Shipstea
of Minnesota, who apparently has
won the Republican senatorial nomi-
nation; Ashurst of Arizona, defeated
in his effort for a sixth-term nomi-
nation, and Vandenberg of Michi-
gan, who swept the Republican pri-
mary in Michigan.
The nomination of Senator Ship
stead, who has served in the Senate
for 18 years as Farmer -Laborite, by
the Republicans gives the G. o. P.
ticket in Minnesota strong leader
ship. 1t will be headed by Gov.
Harold E. StaSsen, who was re-
nominated yesterday, and by Sena-
tor Shipstead, who for years has
been a great vote-getter. Further
more, the fact that Senator Ship
stead has been a member of the
Farmer-Labor party is likely to
bring to the Republican ticket-in-
Guiding the national ticket-sub-
stantial support.
Gov. Stassen was renominated by
am overwhelming vote. He has been
a popular figure in his State since
his election in 1888. More recently
he has been keynote speaker of the
Republican national convention and
a strong supporter of Wendell L.
Willkie for President.
Benson Makes Comeback.
Senator Shipsteads announced
determination to make the race for
reelection as Republican stirred
up a hornets nest, with old line
Republicans attacking him vigor-
ously, as well as some Farmer
Laborites. Senator Shipstead has
been leader of one faction of the
Farmer-Laborites and former Gov.
Elmer A. Benson of another. Gov.
Benson was defeated by Gov. Stas-
sen two years ago and yesterday won
the Farmer-Labor senatorial nomi-
nation. He will oppose Senator
Shipstead in November's election.
