Invaders Denv Augusta Shelling SHANGHAI, i A') Three Chinese warplanes droned over the ruins of this war-ridden metropolis today, pierced a fierce barrage from Japanese warships and tried to wreck the Japanese consulate with their bombs. Four missiles blasted into the area bemud the consulate in tits French concession while Japanese antiaircraft gunners attempted futilely to pick oil the wheeling, diving attackers.

Tlie rcfuRees included 200 French and 173 Portuguese. Tlie planes that attacked the Japanese consulate were of American manufacture. They retired unscathed after the bombing.

An estimated fourth of greater Shanghai's densely populated area was an unchecked holocaust during th night, the result of air bombardment, naval shelling and artillery demolition. The daiiinge readied into tens of miliums of dollars. The loss in life was enormous. The gun duels of the locked forcea along the winding Whangpoo river turned Hongkew, the Japanese section; Yangtzepoo, eastern section of the International Settlement; Chapel the Chinese area, and Pootung. the Industrial district across the Whangpoo to the east.

Into vistas of charred and tumbled buildings. Only the International Settlement, the French concession and parts of Nantao in the Soochow creek area remain intact. Casualties estimated As the Shanghai hixslilitles entered the second week, foreign authorities estimated Chinese casualties to date a about 5000 as against 600 Japanese.

(Staff Correspondent) TOMS RIVER Sheriff Walter H. Applegate, who earlier this week declined to seek the state senate post and who resigned as president of the Lakewood Democratic club, yielded to "pressure" yesterday and declared he would seek the Democratic nomination and oppose Republican Assemblyman James K.

Al-lardice in the race to represent Ocean county in the state's upper house. John J. Ewart, chairman of the Dover township committee, formerly announced as a candidate, has withdrawn from the Democratic primary, according to the sheriff. In reply to the query as to why he changed his mind, Sheriff Applegate said: "The grievances in the Democratic party have been ironed out. The majority of my demands have been complied with." The sheriff's decision climaxed a scries of meetings among leaders in lie Democratic party during the past few days.

Ray Grady, Ocean Gate Democratic leader, said yesterday after a conference with the sheriff, A. C. Cunningham, Beachwood and Dr. Samuel Love-man, Toms River, that the slate would include Zack Johnson, for state assembly and Dr. Loveman for freeholder.

Whether those announced on the previous ticket would withdraw as Mr. Ewart did was not announced. The former-candidates were Morton C. Steinberg, Lakewood, who sought the assembly nomination, and Calvin Conklin, Cedar Run. freeholder aspirant.

Sheriff Applegate said he had not yet chosen his campaign manager. He declared his platform would be for honest government and economy in office. "The first thing that I shall demand as senator will be a legislative investigation of the Ocean county board of freeholders," the sheriff asserted. He refused to enlarge on his statement. Lucille Manners Sings After Father's Death POINT PLEASANT Lovely Lucille Manners, star of the Cities Service radio program last night, was literally "singing thru tears" when she rendered with unusual feeling "Some Day I'll Find You," for her father had died suddenly of a heart attack here Thursday.

He was her most ardent admirer. His name was Peter J. McClinchly and his winter home was in Irvlngton. Today Miss Manners, who has had a spectacular rise as a radio soprano, will attend her father's funeral, to be held in Irvington. Miss Manners has been singing every Friday night over WEAF and when her father died Thursday it was thouRht she would cancel her appearance yesterday.

But she decided against it because he had taken such pride in her success. Instead, she decided to sing for him. In addition to the Noel Coward song, "Seme Day I'll Find You," she also sang "Passione" by Ranzato and a duet with Robert Simmons, Cross My Heart." At a radio her mother, who gave the radio star her first music lessons, listened in. Garage Saved as Blaze Damages Lakewood Barn (Special' to The Press) LAKEWOOD A two-story barn on the property of Joseph Frank, 423 Ocean avenue, was damaged by fire early today. A passing motorist saw flames shooting out ot the top of the barn and notified the local fire department.

Firemen extinguished the blaze before it damaged a garage attached to the barn. Mr. Frank was not at home. John Lewis Hits Party 'Sabotage' WASHINGTON. (P)-A virtual demand by Senator Gufley Pa.) for defeat of Democrats who opposed President Roosevelt's supreme court bill widened today the already open rift in the party.

His broadcast address, without precedent so far as political observers recalled, named Senators O'-Mahoney of Wyoming, Burke of Nebraska and Wheeler of Montana. He flatly predicted the defeat of O'Mahoney and Burke and said Wheeler would have "plenty to do" In the way of explaining before 1940. Burke, a leader of the bill's opponents, commented: "When Senator Guffey announces that he is going to see to it that Wheeler, O'Mahoney and Burke are retired, I assume he speaks in the double capacity of chairman of the Democratic senatorial committee and White House spokesman. "Get Ready for Battle" "If that is true, we might just as well forget Jefferson Island and har-money dinners and get ready for a real battle." There was no immediate comment from others, but many opponents of the bill openly were angry. Guffey's speech was In sharp contrast with recent statements by Democratic Chairman James A.

Farley that there would be no reprisals for opposition to the court plan. Coupled with a statement from John L. Lewis questioning the ability of Democratic leaders to carry out their program It aroused renewed speculation on a possible, new political alignment by 1940. Lewis, leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization and of the United Mine Workers who contributed $300,000 to the 1936 Roosevelt campaign, spoke as a member of labor's non-partisan league. He asserted the Democratic program had been sabotaged by "a small group of its more conservative members." Th? leaders, he added, faced a challenge of restoring party discipline to meet the nation's problems or moving out to permit another vehicle to carry out the people's wishes.

Anprrpd tt Waire-Hour Delay He was aroused by the house rules committee's refusal to allow the wage-hour bill to reach the house floor. The committee's action also drew a denunciation from William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, riival of the C. I. O. The labor leaders' statements drew added attention to a forecast from Senator Lundeen (FL-Minn) that "a national labor party is Inevitable in 1940." He said plans for the move would take more concrete form at a conference here within 10 days after the adjournment of congress.

Guffey, In his speech last night, intimated the battle for the court bill was not over, despite the administration's defeat In the session now closing. "This congress," he said, "has failed to grasp the greatest opportunity for the establishment of a true democracy in this nation that has ever been afforded to any congress. "But there will be other congresses-congresses that will not come to Washington and function here under the superstition that black robes make gods of men." Relief Clients Urged To Get Jobs on Farms TRENTON IJPy Relief Director Mudd passed on to municipal authorities today a request by Secretary of Agriculture Duryee that relief rolls be checked to help out in farm labor shortage. Agreeing with Duryee that "there are undoubtedly many able-bodied men on relief rolls who could be employed on farms," Mudd said it was "a matter of local administration." "The directors and theoverseers of the poor," Mudd added, "are the only ones In a position to know which persons on their relief lists could find employment in farm work." Mudd asked them to give Duryee request "very careful consideration." oirt "imusuallv good" crop yield had been accompanied by "a general scarcity of labor."

emergency appropriation of $20,000 for a new bridge. Last year the county, thru a P. W. A. grant, rebuilt $330,000 bridge over Shark river inlet, raising the bridge level to accommr-date boat traffic.

Result: suit was started today for $50,000. The suit was brought by the Avon Land company and the Inlet Point company, holding companies controlled by Paul T. Zizania, who charged in an action filed in supremo court that raising of the bridge abutments and approaches above grade damaged properties on both sides of the river. Payment Offer Cited Thru his counsel, Parsons, LaBrecque and Borden, Red Eank, Mr. Zizania asked damages which he said the county agreed to pay before the bridge was built.

John Borden, who filed the suit, said a easement was conveyed to the county to permit the abutments and approaches. The bridge has been completed, but the county has refused to pay adequate damages, the suit charged. The Avon Land company owns unimproved property on the east and west sides of Ocean avenue in Avon, border ing the river. The Inlet Point company owns the beach between the inlet and the Belmar Fushing club and a tract on the west side of Ocean avenue fac ing the river. Mr.

Borden said the elevation of the bridge and approaches, coupled with a ban on parking, had impaired the com mercial value of the property.
