 since both Egan and Lawlor had many friends among loyal Demo- crats.
 To Print Rules
 On suggestion of John J. LaWlor, who has attacked the powers given the executive committee, it was voted to have the party rules printed and a copy given to each of the GA members. Chairman Tangney ob- jected on the ground that 1t would cost too much money. but there were no votes cast in opposition to the motion. The motion directed the committees secretary treasurer, Cornelius F. Maloney, to have the rules printed and the copies distrib- uted.
 The question of town committee headquarters in each of the voting districts in the 18th was brought up by Maurice Rousseau, who asked if arrangements had been made for them.
 Let's straighten this thing out" 1" said Mrs. Hayden. "Set up head quarters for whom? Hasn't the mayor said that he is neutral in the 18th? The town committee should not operate headquarters for any candidate; if any members of the committee want to set up head quarters let them do it, but keep the town committee out of it."
 Let the candidates have their own organizations" said John J. Howard. Tn the 18th we have two good Democrats, Egan and Lawlor, run ming for the nomination. It's not the town committees place to take sides. The main thing is the elec- tion, as far as the town committee should be concerned. Let the ca1- didates have their own headquar- ters and let the town committee back the winner.
 wen leave it up to the individ- uals, then," said Chairman Tang ney. And if the candidates want district headquarters, let them open them themselves"
 There's just one thing l want to ask," said Mir. Lawlor. Has the ex- ecutiye committee any right to speak for the whole town committee?"
 ''No, the executive committee can speak only for itself" said the chair man.
 That's all I wanted to know," said Mir. Lawlor.

NAZI BOMBERS
 RESUMES ATTACK
-NEA Telephoto

 Early in the raid it seemed from the sound of engines overhead that many German planes were in the air.
 Watchers on the nglish Channel saw almost continuous flashes of anti-aircraft gun fire from the other side for many hours, in token that British bombing planes were raiding German gun supplements, troop and barge concentrations and SUD- ply depots. One great pillar of flame shot into the sky.
 The streets of London by night had become more of a death trap than they had been On other nights when bombing was more intense. Shrapnel fragments clattered on roofs, shattered windows.
 Those German planes which did get over the city dropped whistler and incendiary bombs.
 The German planes flew as low as 5000 feet in their attempts to get in under the barrage.
 Londoners entered the second week of the terror raids which started last Saturday weary but as determined as ever to "muddle through" as they had dcne through every crisis in their history.
 More Direct Hits
 It seemed that hardly any of the millions in the bomb scared city had not personally felt the fury of the German attack.
 The greatest feature of a solid week of raiding, climaxed by the bombing of Buckingham Palace, was that it seemed to have united the entire people, from the king and queen down, as they never had been united before.
 A German plan, as avowed by the newspapers, to drive a wedge between the royal family and the people by bounding the king and queen from London had produced the contrary effect. The ordinary people now knew that the royal couple had faced the same dangers common to their subjects.

Continued from Page J by local attorneys interested in the case that by neon today all IA men who appealed would have filed re- quests. The requests are sent from the New Haven Superior Court to Clerk Lucius Fuller of the Su- preme Court of Errors at Hartford.
 The Hartford attorney interviewed asserted that while he could not answer for the members of the Supreme Court bench that he would wager that the high court would grant the extension of time sought without even hearing Prosecutor Alcorn or the attorneys for the IA defendants. The impression has been created that a big legal battle on the question of extension would be waged and that date for hear ,ings on the motions would be set down by the Supreme Court jus- tices.
 The Capital City attorney doubted that this was possible and said that in his belief the requests would be granted as a matter of form and that the Supreme Court justices would not convene in special ses- sion to hear arguments on the re- quests.
 The attorney pointed out that it is generally recognized in legal circles that the requests for ex- tension of time are based on solid foundation and that it is not the practice of the Supreme Court to rush attorneys into court with half- prepared cases.
 He called attention to the fact that the record in the case con- tains 10 volumes of over 5000 pages of closely written typewriter copy, which must be read by the attorneys in the case in the preparation of their briefs and said that this task, in his opinion, would be physically impossible insofar as the October term of the court is concerned.

nights does not mean that the Brit ish have not attempted them. They have. But they have been halted. Maybe they will come again and reach the capital but no longer in any numbers. General fog, rain and clouds now are working in Ger man favor.
 If the British government thinks it can avert further German at Jacks by not attacking us-like in 8 football game-it is mistaken. The German air force will continue to give answer. The British have chal- lenged the German nation for many months by bombing civilians. It is not @ question as to whether one German life is worth 10 or 100 Brti- ish lives but 8 question of British criminal unpreparedness to defend their own population"
 It was said that early German raids over Britain today were for purposes of armed reconnaissance" to observe the results of previous raids.

 During the night, it was asserted, large scale attacks were made on London and military and indus trial objectives" in almost all parts of the city were bombed.

 Berlin had its second straight night of quiet.
 Lack of news regarding activity by German palnes over England was taken by NaziS to mean that the weather continued sufficiently bad to prevent attacks from attaining the intensity of previous night raids"
 Earlier, Nazis had said that ideal bombing weather had enabled Ger man raiders to continue attacks yes- terday not only against London but against targets farther north and northwest without any German losses"
 Informants said that overcast skies permitted German bombers to swoop down, sometimes with motors cut of, drop their bombs and get back into the clouds before fighter planes could engage them. defeated" for a third term.
 A Nazi discussing attacks on Lon- don said:
 "It can be said with safety that British resistance depends mostly on London's resistance. If London's defenses, war industries and econ- omic targets are successfully bombed England will be in the position of a fighter plane without an engine"
 Asked whether Germany would be content with aerial bombardments or would follow up with an invasion, the informant said:
 we are now seeing how the air force can be 8 decisive factor in mod ern war. Once our air power had pulverized British air defenses- Royal Air Force aircraft production apparatus-the actual occupation with land forces becomes practically a secondary technical matter"
 Last night Nazis had announced that German planes had bombed "oil and gasoline tanks near Buck ingham Palace.
