BALDWIN PUSHED
 FOR HIGH COURT
(Continucd from Page D

(Continucd from Page D have conferred with Republican legislative chairmen last night, the result being there will be no hold up of important legislation, save possibly the labor relations act which has already passed the Sen- ate, but which in the House is be- lieved sure to split party lines far and wide.
 What They Want
 Chairman Bradley is also reported to have told the governor that Re- publicans want one of the four su- perior court judgeships to be given ont and that If the common pleas court revision goes through with creation of three new judgeshlps the Republicans want one of these.
 It Is obvious that In Republican circles there is some objection to the present strategy of pushing ex- Governor Baldwin forward as court material. These sources feel that he is better gubernatorial material and that the party's chances of winning in 1042 would be lessened If he were to be appointed to the superior court
 The Baldwin nomination was first rumored early in the legislative ses- sion but at that time 1t was termed Democratic strategy Now 1t Is re- versed and becomes Republican strategy.

 A preliminary investigation con- ducted In the basement of the clean- ing establishment by Fire Marshal Lahey and Lieut.. Legge disclosed that the boiler in the cellar did not cause the explosion.
 They said the boiler was intact and believed the blaze started in the cellar.
 The plant was considered a mod ern one and was stocked with hun. dreds of suits and clothes and gar- ments, sent from branch stores throughout the city to be cleaned, Marshal Lahey said the clothes were insured and virtually every ar- ticle inside the interior of the build ing was either burned or soaked With water.
 Chief Thomas P. Cavanaugh and Deputy Bloomfield supervised the work of the firemen at the scene,
 A number of times Chief Cava- naugh urged flremen to be cautious while battling the flames as the crumbling posts and timber ap- peared as If they would topple. When danger was removed Chief Cavanaugh led q humber of flremen Into the sugmerged cellar to investi- gate.
 Among the spectators viewing the activities of the flremen were Finton J. Phelan. chairman of the fire board; Deputy Supt, of Police Dan- iel J. Carson, and Police Captain Frederick S. Hickey.

The attacks were directed mainly at the ports, which the Ger mans ar etrying to destroy methodi. cally to disrupt the flow Of United States materials.
 There were no specific reports of damage to the badly battered Mer- seygide or the northwest area, but the Bristol channel area was said to have been showered with many in- cendiary and explosive bombs and 1t was feared that many persons were killed or trapped under debris there. A church, schools and a brewery were among the buildings damaged by fire.
 The attack on the northeast area also caused considerable damage. It lasted several hours.
 A communique said bombs also were dropped in East Anglica, south- west England, and several points elsewhere" At these places, 1t was said, there were "a small number of casualties but little serious dam age"
 It was doubted that any figures would be given on the number of German flyers killed, wounded or captured last night. It was known that three Germans were captured from one plane, two from another which fell in flames on farm, three from another which fell in flames, and that in the crash of a fourth plane, one German was cap- tured, one was killed when his par- achute failed to open, and the oth- CTS were burned to death.

These two types, both twin-engined light bombers converted into night fight CTS, were responsible for the nights victories.
 The air ministry said many other raiders were damaged, In addition to the g shot down, and that some newly trained pilots had their first air battles last night
 Despite the British activity, however. the Germans ringed Eng land with rain of bombs all night, blasting the Liverpool area, north- west and northeast England, the Humber (HulD area, the Bristol channel, and many interior points. A communique said damage was extensive" and casualties were be- lieved "heavy."
