 About 45 British planes were de- stroyed yesterday, it was said, and IT German planes were lost.
 This mornings air raid alarm was the first since Saturday morning.
 The drone of airplane motors was heard distinctly over Berlin in in- tervals between furious blasts of gun fire.
 One plane dropped parachute flare over northern Berlin, but it was extinguished before it broke all the way through the clouds.
