Served In Washington Previously he had served a short term as Paraguayan minister to Washington. Estigarribia, who once was exiled from his country, abolished the representative regime last February 18, assumed dictatorial powers and drafted a new constitution for the avowed purpose of "protecting and purifying democracy" in Paraguay. Announcement Made An official announcement of his death, signed by the interior minister, Alejandro Marin Iglesias. told the nation: "With most profound grief I inform the nation that in an airplane accident today his excellency, the president of the republic and general of the army, Jose Felix Estigarribia, and his wife lost their lives.

The train sped on without slopping. Meanwhile, some diplomatic circles here said that Carol and Mme.

When they asked the station master if it would halt, he answered "Yes." but at the same time wired a near-by station to signal to the train to speed right through.

Fire Tistols At Train It passed on through while the band of 50 fired pistols and threw stones. The fireman on the locomotive was reported seriously wounded. A number of the Iron Guardists seized another locomotive and pursued Carol's train in the manner of the old western American movie thriller, after threatening their engineer with a pistol. Others took taxicabs and tried to beat the train to the town of Jimholia at the frontier. When they reached there they were intercepted by a company of soldiers which had been quickly summoned.

In the Democratic race for governor the issues chiefly revolve around the steadily increasing cost of state government, with Governor Jones making two and three campaign speeches daily in defense of his administration. Also in the race but not considered as serious contenders are C.

M. Menderson, Phoenix bus line operator; Ernest Carleton, Phoenix contractor; Dr. George E. Shields, Phoenix physician; and Howard Sprouse, Miami. The contest for the senatorial nomination, generally conceded to be between Judge McFarland and Senator Ashurst, also includes Henderson Stockton, Robert E.

Among the other state campaigns arousing the greatest public conjecture are those between W. M. Cox, incumbent, and William Peterson, present state treasurer, for corporrtion commissioner; the three-way race between C. Warren Peterson, incumbent, James H. Kerby and Charles Luke, all of Phoenix, for the short tax commission term, and the campaigns for state superintendent of public instruction and state treasurer, in which the incumbents are not candidates.

'The heart of the British world empire was laid open to onsVuigbt of the German air force," an authorized source said in describing the attack In which Germany sent every type of bomber in her aerial armory against London to pay the British off for their stubhorn raids by night on the German reich and capital. "Efforts of the British antiaircraft to stop our planes were unsuccessful." this source said.

"New waves of planes flew to the attack as others rid themselves of their bomb loads and flew back to their bases. "Tremendous damage inflicted on the nerve center of the British empire had to he paid with sacrifices but at this time the only thing which appears important is that the German air force bombed London in broad daylight." Heinkels. Junkers and Messersrhmitts, each carrying two tons of death, went roaring into the London defenses. A vauneviiio tneater ano a stoic were nit. in one London district during the second raid.

As usual, the raiders took northerly course over the city, their throbbing motors plainly audible the streets. As they passed, fires from the afternoon bombing still raged in the crowded East End and their red glows lit the sky. London's air-raid precautions serdce, mobilized to fight fires and give first-aid, -arried on through the second warning. In one London area, hundreds of persons, unable to use normal routes to their homes, were caught on the detour by the second warning, taking cover again. Several fires by that time were burning.

During the raids, a heavy bomb hit a hospital, but the wing which was struck was not occupied. Heavy formations of raiders still were flying almost three hours after the second alarm sounded. The flight of one squadron was marked by three earth-shaking explosions. A new red glow had appeared in another part of the sky. Searchlights kept fingering the darkness, looking for the evercircling bombers.

A bomb which fell In the second raid smashed a gas main. Another demolished a house. One bomb, at least, was a screamer. The night raiders seemed to concentrate on several distircts which had been attacked earlier in the day. They could be heard swinging in to drop heir explosives, then wheeling away.

Even while the Germans made their first delayed blow of the day on London, slanting in through skies filled with bursting antiaircraft shells, big columns if smoke could be seen in the distance. Antiaircraft fire sprayed the sky above the clouds -if black, dirty smoke billowing up from numerous fires. Bombers Fill Air The air was filled with the scream of bombers living from about 15,000 to 5,000 to let go their salvos. High in the blue sky of a calm summer evening, they wheeled like flocks of geese dodging shells and British fighter planes. At first, Londoners ignored thp alarm to stand canitifT in iYio ctrofe lh battle overhead but Based on these figures, the DNB reports of "millions of pounds" dropped on London meant that at least 500 planes took part in the day's raid.
