Three formations of twin-engined bombers flying at 15,000 feet and escorted by swarms of Messerschmitts about 300 planes in all crossed England's first line of defense, the Channel cliffs, and drove toward smoking, battered London. The sky at the channel coast teemed to an Associated Press observer to be full of planes. Exhaust from the high-flying motors traced an eerie, eccentric pat. tern across the sky.

LaFollette Jr. Clausen was nominated yes terday in a primary election which showed that the Republicans had made" marked new gains in polling power. Winner of the Democratic Sen- atorial nomination was former Attorney General James E. Fin-negan, of Milwaukee who was leading the nearest of three op ponents Dy 17,000 votes with on ly about 200 precincts missing. Senator aLFollette was re-nominated without opposition.

Clausen topped a field of seven candidates, one of whom, Dr. Glenn Frank, had been killed last Sunday in an automobile accident. For Dr. Frank the turnout of voters in his behalf was a posthumous demonstration of their loyalty. He ranked fifth in the balloting.

Clausen viewed the primary results as the forerunner of "an old time Republican victory" in the November general election. He said in a statement Wisconsin was awake "to the necessity" of replacing New Deal theories, experiments and spending with a Republican administration "that will do the job handed to it." "The presence of Democrats and Progressives in' our ranks es tablishes that fact," he declared, Clausen's nearest rival was Dr. John P. Koehler, former Milwaukee Health Commissioner, who trailed by votes with two thirds of the precincts In. Available returns showed other opponents finishing in this order: Dr.

Frank, Attorney Michael G. Eberlein, of Shawano; Reuben W. Peterson, Chairman of the State Public Service Commission, Wal ter B. Chilsen, Merrill newspaper publisher and William C. Maas, former secretary to Governor Ju lius P.

Dr. James K. Rob-insoji, of Milwaukee, gave the Republicans a higher primary vote than they had polled In any year since 1932.

The Republican totals were based on returns from 2.807 of the State's precincts. Almost an equal number of precincts gave Loomis a majority of about 6.700 over Harold E.

HOLD SERVICES FOR Ceremonies Take Place Maple Bluff Home and Capitol in Madison Jf While the State at large expressed its respects posthumously in election returns, friends of the late Dr. Glenn Frank, 53, and his son, Glenn 21, gathered here today to pay final tribute to them at funeral services in their Maple Bluff, home and the State Capitol. Dr.

Frank, former president of the University of Wisconsin, orator, author, and recently chairman of the Republican Program Committee, was a candidate for the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator and received a large vote in yesterday's primary although it was widely known his first campaign for political office had ended tragically. He and his son, reporter for a Madison newspaper, were killed Sunday night in an automobile accident near Greenleaf, while en route to a political meeting at Green Bay. Hundreds of messages of condolence from over the nation have since been received oy the widow and mother.

Mrs. Mary Frank, now the sole survivor of the family which came to Madison in 1925 and whose head presided over the State university for 12 years thereafter.

A. L. P. votes added 275,000 to Mr. Roosevelt's state totals in 1936.

Early returns an from New York and vicinity, gave a slight lead to the faction supporting Mr. Roosevelt. Among Congressional incumbents to win re-nomination in New York was Rep. Hamilton Fish, New Deal foe, who was again the Republican choice in the 26th District. The Massachusetts Primary's outstanding contest was for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, and Attorney General Paul Dever, one of the party's best vote-pullers in the state, won it handily over Francis Kelly, former Lieutenant Governor.

For the U. S. Senate nomination Senator Walsh, the incumbent was unopposed on the Democratic ticket, and Henry Parkman, former Boston corporation counsel was the unchallenged Republican choice. Ml SO BRITISH-ITALIAN CLASH jPENDS Major Battle Near as Fascist Invaders Approach Al-, exandria Road Cairo (JP) Italian invaders, storming along the Mediterranean coastline of Egypt's western desert, moved closer today toward an impending major battle with British defenders on the vital roadway to Alexandria. Where the British would make a stand remained a military secret.

British operations thus far, it was said, have been designed to harass rather than halt the two motorized Italian columns leading the eastward drive. Despite sandstorms and temperatures ranging up to 120, the Italians in four days have advanced from the Libyan border to positions beyond Sidi Barrani, 60 miles inside Egypt, reaching the start of an asphalt road leading 350 miles to the Suez Canal, vital link of Britain's empire lifeline. The farthest point in the Italian advance line at present is believed to be 80 miles within E-gypt. As the Italians press eastward, the British are in the position of being able to choose the field for what may be the one decisive battle of the campaign. The next objective presumably is Matruh, 100 miles further a-long the coastal road and site of a British air base.

Between Sidl Barrani and Al-See ECfYPT Pare DRAFT LAUNCHING ES Regulations, Director, and Appropriation Are Necessary Washington Before the United States can launch the great peacetime undertaking which begins with the registration of 16.500,000 men on Oct. 16, three essential preliminaries require disposition: 1. President Roosevelt must promulgate the regulations governing the Administration of the draft machinery, enrollment, clas sification and selection of trainees, their induction into service and kindred matters. 2. The director of the selective service system must be appointed by Mr.

Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate as provided in the conscription law. 3. Congress must take action on the pending $2,000,000,000 special defense appropriation request which is to defray the expenses of registration and conscription. Mr. Roosevelt, who has been absent attending the funeral of the late Speaker Bankhead in Alabama, likewise was expected to announce his choice in a few days for the position of draft director.

Washington's most-talked -of possibility for the draft director post was Lieut. Col. Lewis B. Her-shey, who has been virtually a "career man" in conscription. He is the executive officer of the Joint Army and Navy selective "service committee, which has been engaged for 14 years on draft plans, preparations and training.

The draft director will receive $10,000 a year. GERMANY SAYS BRITAIN LOST 2,096 AIRPLANES Berlin UP) The British air force lost 2,096 planes in August and the first fortnight of Septem ber, DNB. the official German news agency said today. Recapitulating the figures in the daily high command communiques. DNB said British losses in August were 1.354 planes, 481 in the first week of September and 261 in the second week.

SAY RAF HAS LOST 600 MEN, 621 AIRPLANES London The British air force has lost 621 planes of all kinds and fewer than 600 men since Aug. 8. Sir ArchibrV Sinclair, air minister, said today, while in the same period the Germans have lost 1,867 planes and 4,000 men. British flers in the Near East have shot down 56 Italian planes with a loss of 15 to themselves, the REQUIR 3 MOVES High Command Asserts Entire Blocks in Some Dis-tricts Wiped-Out (By Um Associated Proa) Berlin The German high command reported today geared up attacks in the Battle of London which Nazi airmen said had wiped out entire blocks in some eastern districts of the British capital and apparently smashed through to the city's subway sys tem. Daylight reconnaisance showed a yawning, smoking crater which was believed to be the result of a tremendous direct hit on an un derground railway, according tc DNB, official news agency.

(London uses underground railway stations for bomb shelters.) The high command announced an all-caliber bombardment, within the past 24 hours of day and night action, of West India, Lon don and Victoria docks, water and gas works, railway stations and Croydon airdrome, among "war-essential objectives." (The Bow Railway station and the Thursten Road junction were bombed last night and a number of British planes destroyed at Til-burg and Gravesend, according to the German radio.) British Lose Nine The British were said to have lost nine planes yesterday against the Germans' four. "New extensive fires resulted everywhere," said the daily mili tary 'communique. Airports and war-essential objectives were bombed on the southeast coast and "Liverpool was attacked repeatedly day and night" the high command reported. "An airplane plant at Liverpool-Speke suffered heavy blows." The Nazi raiders also reached into Scotland with an attack on Glasgow Harbor. A British steamer was reported "heavily damaged" north of Ireland.

Bomb Germany British planes broke through to bomb northern and western Ger many, the high command acknowl edged, insisting that "residential quarters and settlements" were hit. Authorized German sources said London's Tilburg docks were a veritable hell of flames." Airmen on observation assignments said that at places in East London "en tire blocks which yesterday still existed had vanished," according to DNB. Germany's bombers concentrat ed on the destruction of the Eng lish air force bases, Nazis said.

EFFORTS TO SETTLE STRIKE DEADLOCKED Waosaa (JP) With the departure for Washington yesterday of Msgr. Francis J.

Haas, Labor Board Conciliator, efforts to settle the Marathon Rubber Products Co. strike appeared deadlocked. The plant, closed since Aug. 31, has been unable either to fill government orders for raincoats or to bid on contracts to be let this week. The massed raiders roared toward the Thames estuary and London, anti-aircraft shell explosions flowering their way.

When they were well inland the British fliers made battle contact. The rattle of machine-guns and aerial cannon echoed from high in the clouds and the formations broke up into a countless series of dog fights. Britain, in full awareness that eleven consecutive nights and days of such aerial assaults might be a prelude to attempted land invasion, announced new RAF smashes at potential jump-off points on the continent shore. Score Direct Hits About the time the British and Germans were tangled in the battle of the Thames estuary the Air Ministry announced that the RAF's medium bombers yesterday afternoon- scored-direct hits on harbor installations at Ostend and ships at Zeebrugge, both Belgian ports- One raider attacked four barges off the continental coast and hit two of them, the communique said, while others bombed a convoy off the Hague, the Netherlands, and a new airdrome at Ymuiden. the Netherlands.

In today's big thrust at London, following a record night attack. Germany's bombers were vastly outnumbered by their escort of aharpnosed Messerschmitts. The exact number of bombers was undetermined, but observers said the fighter escort was probably the largest ever sent to protect such a small number.

In Wisconsin, meanwhile. Democrats who have been critical of President Roosevelt were well out in front of an Administration supporter for the party's nomination for U. S. Senator. Decisive defeats blasted O'Connor's twin hopes in New York.
