ACOnClnued rom Page l) force raid on Berlin of the entire war.
 A morning rush hour raid alarm sent Londoners to shelter when a big German fleet sought to force it's way up the Thames Estuary.
 Anti-aircraft guns blasted the in- vading planes as they approached the Tilbury Dock area down the river. Guns along the Thames sent shells crashing into the middle of the German fleet and the railers broke formation.
 As the German planes swung sharply about, and seemed ready to head for the coast and safety, A formation of crack British fighter planes raced down the Thames and dived into the Nazi fleet.
 Thrilled watchers along the river saw the planes diving, zooming and twisting amid the chatter of ma chine gun fire, their exhausts weav- ing patterns in the dull sky be- heath the clouds.

 At least two of them were shot down, three others had been sent crashing to destruction during a long night raid.
 New guns which fired flaming onions" and strange red tracer shells, joined in a thunderous fire at all German planes which ven- tured into the London area dur ing the night.
 All but single German planes were turned back before they reached London proper and most of the ones that got through were com- pelled to drop their bombs in the outskirts and flee.
 Soon after the "all clear" was sounded after the nights raid, the air ministry announced that strong forces of British planes had bomb- ed Berlin heavily and attacked im- portant military objectives.
 On the channel coast, watchefS heard explosions so terrific that they shook buildings on the British side as royal air force planes bomb- ed German bases on the French coast during the night.
 A joint air and home security ministries communique on the nights German raids added:
 Attacks again were scattered in many parts of the London area. Houses and several industrial prem ises were hit. There have been a number of casualties, including some killed. In a town in southeast England some houses were demol- ished and there were number of casualties.
 Bombs were dropped on some districts in northwest England, in one of which damage was done to houses and there was a small num- Der of casualties. Elsewhere reports indicate that damage and casual ties were slight"

It also was learned that Muhlen- broich, who, federal officers said had confessed the De Tristan crime, has a brother in the German army; he lost knuckle as German soldier in the first World War, is dead shot with a rifle, pronounced anti Semitic and holds Adolf Hitler and the Naz government in the highest esteem.
 Apparently, he entered the United States illegally sometime before 1929.
 It was learned that Muhlenbroich owned small gold mine somewhere in the Mother Lode Country, on the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. It was in this section that he was captured Sunday morning by Cecil Wetsel, lumberman. Author ities believed that he might have been heading for this mine to ''hole up" while ransom negotiations were under way.
