Chavez Now In Senate Race Lead Nazis Shell Dover Sector From French Coast Overtakes Dempsey After All Olher Reports Put Opponent Ahead; Miles Total Mounting Britons Are Gleeful Over Air Victory By The Associated Pross German cannon on the French coast today sent tons of steel screaming into the Dover area, gateway for a possibly imminent invasion attempt on the British Isles, even as Britons celebrated their greatest air victory since the battle began. Britain's big coastal guns thundered at Nazi bases across the channel in answer to this long-range artillery assault, British officials claimed their defenders shot down 185 German planes in yesterday's flaming battles in, the biggest single day's bag of the war. Appears Near Meantime, coastal correspondence reported that German troop-carriers of every description are stealing along the French coast, A ghostly mist overhung the channel today and it was feared that Hitler might take advantage of this natural aide to cloak a troop-landing venture. Meantime, a big air battle raged high over London as the capital experienced the day's fourth alarm.

Shrapnel rattled like hail on the roof-tops as Germans apparently raided London on an hourly schedule. The king and queen were at home yesterday when a group of time and incendiary bombs were plunged down on Buckingham Palace, the third such bombing in eight days. Britons, Italians Battle On the burning sands of Egypt, still neutral though bound to England by military ties, a fierce guerilla warfare ranged between British and Italian troops and motorized columns, but it was still not clear whether Italy had begun a drive to conquer Egypt There were indications that Spain might soon enter the war on the axis-partners' side, bolstered by the arrival of Ramon Suner, Premier Franco's brother-in-law, for conference with Hitler in Berlin. London quarters immediately declared the visit appeared an ominous view of Italian pressure for permission to allow axis troops to pass through Spain for an attack on Gibraltar, Final Plans For Motorcade Here To GreeTWillkie Prospects were said to be bright today by Charles Hamilton, Republican county chairman, for a record breaking participation in the motorcade which is to leave here at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for Albuquerque for the address of Wendell WilUde, GOP presidential candidate, at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. The local delegation will assemble on the Santa Fe plaza near the Hogan in time to leave sharply at 2 o'clock, and will be joined by other cars at Bluewater and Grants en route.

Arrangements were made by the committee to attach banners and streamers to cars, also to apply wash paint signs, if desired, on sfc" lost west of the Rico Motor company, today and tomorrow.
