Authorities Planning General Headquarters
 For Relief Agencies
No Immediate Changes Expected Until June Providing Officials Select Site-SuppKy Base May Also Be Transferred in New Setup

Maloney school, on East Clay street, is being considered by city officials as a possible center for the welfare department, it was learned today. Several sites have been con- sidered informally, but the school. located only five blocks from Ex- change place and 6 few feet from South Main street, has thus far re- ceived the most favorable considera- tion.
 The plan for a welfare depart ment. headquarters which has been under unofficial consideration for some weeks, would enable the cen- tralization of all welfare department activities in Q single building. At present welfare department offices are scattered about the first floor and basement of the city hall, while the supply base, where food is dis pensed, Is located on Center street.
 Changes Necessary
 Maloney school is still occupied and establishment of a welfare head- quarters there would make neces- sary the transfer of all present Ma loney pupils to other schools. For this reason, the transfer, if decided on, will probably not be made un- til after the school year ends in June.
 Several other schools and city- owned buildings are being consider ed as welfare centers, but none is as accessible or has the accommo- dations available as Maloney. The school has 16 rooms and 8 large 
 The present welfare offices in the city hall basement are damp and poorly ventilated. In addition, the distances between offices cause con- siderable inconvenience.
 Quarters Needed
 The supply base is reached only by a narrow driveway from Center street, and trucks bringing food there have a great deal of diffi- culty. It is understood that more commodious quarters could be used, also.

with his rescuers until they lifted
him free
A college in London was dam
aged severely last night, and it was
believed some lives were lost there,
+ since a number of residents from
the East End, already bombed out
of their homes, had taken shelter
there. The basement was flooded
by broken water mains.
One terrific blast ripped block
Of apartments to pieces, and a pastor
sleeping in a nearby church base
ment told of crawling out and seeing
the twisted bodies of dead and in
jured, some of them still in their
beds, pinned beneath beams and
blocks of concrete.
Damaged Building Again Hit.
I'VE took the dead and badly in
jured out" he said, and laid them
on the pavement by the railings sur
rounding the church until ambu-
lances removed them
One bomb made a direct hit on
previously damaged Office building
from which rescue squads still were
trying to remove persons pinned
under debris. Five dead and a num-
Der of injured were taken from the
wreckage and others were believed
still buried.
Another bomb hit public shelter
and it was feared that number of
people had been entombed.
A government communique de-
- scribed the overnight bombings as
~indiscriminate" and said the attack
on London was heavy" but the
damage was less than that "in raids
which took place in early Septem-
ber."
Homes. industrial premises and
utility services were hardest hit, the
eommunique reported.
Midland Raids Heavy.
While London counted its dead,
reports from the Midlands and
Southwestern England indicated the
overnight pounding there was the
longest and most severe of recent
weeks.
The raiders slashed at London
with particular fury Diving war
planes machine-gunned the streets.
The raiders, taking advantage of
the clear, moonlit night, shuttled
back and forth across the English
Channel ceaselessly. Sometimes
they roared in over the English
coast one a minute.
The London raid started a short
time later than usual but made up
for the slow start by its intensity
Only once during the night was
there a lull. 1t was momentary.
Londons ruin and casualty lists
grew apace.
Gray dawn found haggard work
ers still digging through the
smashed wood and stone Wreckage
of what yesterday were homes and
business buildings. They sought the
living for medical treatment, the
dead for burial
