And the British bombers through the night hours car ried back to Germany and the German blitzkrieg bases in occupied territory an answer in kind to the Nazi at tack. It was an answer writ ten in bombs that crashed down on Gernany's great northern port of Hamburg, upon her western railroad junction of Hamm, upon ,Ostend, Belgian blitzkrieg base, upon the French channel coast where the Luftwaffe's advance guard is stationed, and upon wide ranges of western and northern Ger many.
 Berlin angrily admitted that the Royal Rir Force again had at tempted to attack the German capi- tai, but claimed that the bombers had been beaten off.
 The British air ministry reported that Hamburg had been under con- centrated air bombardment 'by a large force" of bombers for three hours.
 Toll Was Terrific
 There was little effort in London to minimize the terrific toll in dam- age and lives taken by the German air blitzkrieg which started about 5 p. m. Saturday and continued with little relaxation since that hour.
 And the air ministry significantly warned that the worst was yet to come. Describing September as "a very critical month in the war;" the ministry said the German att tackers have mot yet reached the top note of their creScendo."
 The belief was general that as the German air attack mounted to new heights it would be accompanied or followed by the first actual attempt to invade the British Isles since the time of William the Conqueror.
 There were indications that the British were holding in reserve air squadrons against that desperate hour. The air ministry spoke of reserve fliers apparently being held back for the decisive encounter and it was stated that Britain's new se- cret fighters and bomberS have not

LAWLOR'S FRIENDS
 CLAIMING VICTORY
They Are Confident That He Will Be Nominated,
 and Elected

Confidence that ex-Senator Jo- seph H. Lawlor would be success ful in the Democratic primary in the 18th senatorial district was ex- pressed by speakers at a meeting of the Lawlor-for-Sena Club at headquarters on East Main street last night. James J. Phelan, for mer member of the board of pub lie works and prominent local Democrat, who is serving as treas urer of the Lawlor club, predicted that the former senator would be nominated and elected.
 MT. Phelan, who has been a leading Democrat for many years and who has been close political associate of Mayor Vincent A. Scul- ly, declared that sentiment ex- pressed in Lawlor would win in the primary, in which he is opposed by the incumbent, Senator Edward P Egan and William ripper" Con- ley.

Attorney Cassidy Has
 Asked Continuance
Counsel for Charles s. OComor, James ealey, Frank SantaIucia Pleads That He Cannot Prepare
 Brief on Time

Atty. John H. Cassidy, counsel for former Corporation Counsel Charles s. OConnor, James Healey and Frank Santalucia in Waterbury's million dollar conspiracy case is to- day filing with the clerk of the Supreme Court of Errors a motion for 8 continuance of the hearings of the appeals to that body made by him and which are set down for the October term of the court.
 It has been generally agreed that it would be impossible for the law yers in the case to prepare and file briefs for the October term of the court but Atty Cassidy is the first one to present a motion to follow Atty Cassidy's procedure.
 Physically Impossible
 The local attorney sets forth in his motion for continuance that it is physically impossible for him to read the long record in the case and prepare and file briefs for the three men he represents in the case for the October term. Judging from talk among the lawyers who are now deeply engaged in reading the record an extension of time even beyond the October term of the court might be sought. It is their claim that they realized they had a big job ahead of them but since actually starting their work, they claim it is going to take long time and long working hours to get the briefs ready.
 Atty Cassidy in his motion for continuance calls the courts atten- tion to the fact that the record con- tains 10 volumes and over 6289 closely typewriter pages. It is the longest record ever compiled in the history of 8 case in the state of Connecticut.
 Demonstrations Invoked
 Demonstrations outside the local superior court during the Water bury conspiracy trial in which the defendants in the cases were sjeered, hooted and called vile

 (Undated) Intensified night bombings over London are aimed primarily at trying to force Great Britain to cease night attacks on German cities, more especially Ber- lin Hitler last week described night raids as useless and threatened re- priSalS. There is little reason to magnify the raids beyond this pur- pose.
 Authoritative British quarters eX- press doubt that the Germans are trying to erase" London. The damage is far from being extensive enough to interfere seriously with normal daytime activities of the people, who returned to work today as usual.
 London likewise disbelieves the German bombs are being dropped "promiscuously". Most of the cas- ualties and damage have occurred in the poorer quarters of the capital, which suggests deliberate purpose.
 The German intention is to try to terrorize civilians so that public opinion will compel the British gov- ernment to agree to end all night raids. In general, the poorer, un- discirplined tenement dwellers are more emotionally affected by per- sonal disaster than other classes Hitler, apparently, hopes that re-

Delayed Action Bombs
 Killed More In London
But London Millions Are Returning to Work This Morning-Largest City on Earth Given
 Its Worst Drubbing
BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Sept. g = (UP0 - De- layed action bombs, rained on Lon- don during the merciless all night German air raid, which was the worst of the war, began exploding today, adding death and destruction to the already heavy toll.
 One bomb blew a West London suburban house to pieces.
 Police and air raid precautions workers cordoned of all areas where delayed action or time bombs were known to have fallen.
 London proceeded about business as usual. Transport had been dis organize. by two great air raids. Many people walked miles to work. Some, including girls in shorts, used ancient vintage bicycles. Others hitch hiked.
 Bus transportation returned rapidly to normal and all subway lines were running except one, of which three sections were closed.
 The stock exchange and other markets, which long ago had made preparations to move to emergency headquarters if London became un- tenable, opened normally, as did banks including the Bank of Eng land, with its gorgeously uniformed doormen on the job as in peace '.me.
 London's millions, men, women, girls, and boys, went back to work uncowed after the second straight night in which, from dusk to dawn, the largest city On earth had taken, terror, destruction and death from the German air force.
 15O Planes At Night
 An authoritative source estimated that about l50 German airplanes engaged in the Sunday night raids on the London area, operating sing ly for the most part.
 Each appeared to carry two bombs of 800 or 100 kilograms (2,- 200 pounds) or 10 60-kilogram bombs and two to four 100 kilogram bombs.
 Authorities said that British anti aircraft guns and fighter planeh were active both Saturday and Sum- day nights. but it was explained that the German craft came over London at high speed and at great altitude.
