 Two fleets of British planes were driven back from Hamburg and Berlin, according to Nazi sources, but an official reporter on the Eng fish Channel coast admitted for the first time that British planes, night after night, had been bomb ing the Nazi held ports (bases for invasion of Britain) with "the regu- larity of clock"
 The raids became more intense when the German air force began reprisal raids on London, the re- porter said, but the British have att tackled in the day time infrequently. The night attacks were described as inaccurate because of German anti aircraft fire which brought down 12 British planes in the last week aroun.' Ostend alone.

COP. CONGRESS
 SEAT DISPUTED
Paul Cornell Has Started Trouble By Picking His
 FavOrite for Place

The Republican nomination for congressman in the fifth district was so up in the air today that some leaders feared a convention fight so bitter that the chances of the suc- cessful candidate in his campaign against Congressman J. Joseph Smith would be endangered.
 Paul Cornell, who was nominated for U. s. senator by the state con- vention at New Haven Wednesday, is reported to favor Frank T. John son, local newspaperman and Thom- aston resident, for the nomination, and to have lined up a great deal of Litchfleld county support for Johnson. But supporters of other candidates claim that Cornell would be unwise to become mixed up in the contest.
 Others In Field
 In the field, beside Johnson, are Austin L. Adams, Waterbury banker and Middlebury resident, whose boom is being led by Prosecutor Will liam J. Larkin, Jr., of the court of common pleas; Col. Roy Rice, of Woodbury, who was the candidate two years ago; Attorney Edward Sweeney, a recent entrant; State Senator Claude V.

 President Roosevelt touched the public pulse and had quiet look at national defense areas here yes- terday in a brief invasion of Penn sylvania which left local Democratic bigwigs smiling. There were not the hySterical crowds of 1886. But thousands were milling in some of the streets and the estimate of those who had a look-see at MT.

 "FDR warns against rule by few, laughs off dictatorship charges, |" was the New Deal records headline after the biggest Democratic day in Philadelphia since the President aroused adoring crowds to weeping adulation in October, 1886. The Republican Philadelphia Inquirer that MT. Roosevelt rode through cheering crowds of 100000" in his progress through the city. The Republican Public Ledger esti- mated that 100000 to 200, ,000 persons cheered the New Deal parade through town.
 Estimates of another kind put the current and present national defense and other federal expenditure in this area at well over $1,000000 and a Dun and Bradstreet report of busi- ness conditions fixed Philadelphia retail sales now at seven per cent better than a year ago. The record reported the Roosevelt administra- ton was ready to increase navy yard jobs from 13,000 to 30,000. The com- bination of better times at home and alarming news from abroad is what Republican shave to beat if they are to keep Pennsylvanias 36 electoral votes safe for MT. Willkie.

4L was luQ1CaL6Q LIlaG tIle 6T1b4S1 planes had shuttled across the chan mel in unusual force for hours. Watchers could see them flashing identification signals as they crossed the English coast line on their way home.
 As the British bombings started. the channel, which had been rough for days, was almost as smooth as a pond. The moon shone brightly There had been sounds of heavy fir- ing long before the great explosions were heard in the early hours.
 By mid-morning the channel weather, had changed again. The sea was calm and there was no wind, but it was raining and there was fog in mid-channel.
 Germans Come Across
 German planes flying singly or in small formations crossed the coast at exceedingly high altitude during the morning for daylight raids and were met by heavy anti- aircraft fire. British planes chased some of them out to sea and brought down one, a large bombing plane, on the outskirts of London. A lone plane dropped two big bombs in northeastern London and caused damage and some casualties.
 There was some sporadic bombing in London during the night, but 1t was so lackadaiSacal the Britons be- gan speculating on the reason.
 Some thought that the Hull was to be of short duration and might be followed by the greatest raids yet Others suggested that the Ger mans were giving their aviators . rest in preparation for an invasion attempt.
 But there were some who thought that for the present at least the German blitzkrieg which was to have reduced London to utter ruin was petering out, if only for a time.
 Broke Back of '.Blitx"
 These persons suggested that the Royal Air Force and the sharply intensified anti-aircraft barTage might have broken the back of the "blitz" and convinced the Germans that they must turn some other di- rection. Naturally. in this connec- tion. the unusually long visit to Rome of German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrcp was mem tioned.
