The German high command re- vealed that British eight naval forces" made sortie against Ger man-occupied harbors of France. It claimed the British were beaten off.
 The German attack on London followed the pattern of the raids Saturday and Sunday night. The bomb blasts were heard all over the city. An air alarm was in effect for g hours and 3 minutes during almost all the night hours in Lon- don. Not until $40 a. n1., as early morning workers, many of them after another sleepless night, were getting ready for another day in factories and shops did the all clear sound.

British, Nazis Make Reports On Raids
By WALLACE CARROLL

Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)
 London, Sept. 10-(UP)-British planes battled Nazi warcraft over the heart of London today after @ third straight night of massed aerial bombardment filtered the worlds biggest city with the wreck age of homes, offices and famous buildings.
 After Royal Air Force bombers braved unfavorable weather condi- tions to blast at German objectives during the night, the enemy planes pierced clouds over the British capi- tai, in the forenoon, dodged anti aircraft fire on the outskirts and clashed with defending planes but in the first 27-minute air alarm did not bomb central London.
 The people of the capital, grim and coldly angry, went about their business as the government advised them that enemy bombardment so far had failed to do any appreciable damage to food supplies.
 Lord Woolton, minister of food, said that supplies were not en- dangered, although sugar and flour stores had suffered some damage and that communal feeding in the east end (most severely bombed section) is working smoothly and effectively"
 Get Stocks Away
 He appealed to food traders tc get stocks away from the docks al soon as possible and urged retai shopkeepers to put food stocks out of the way of damage by bomt Splinters.
 Prime Minister Winston Churchill again inspected the most severely damaged parts of the city.
 Counter-attacks by British bom- bers on German bases continued with determined regularity although an authoritative source said that weather conditions during the night hampered the Royal Air Force.
 British bombing attacks were largely directed at possible bases for invasion of the British Isles, such

 Ho predicted that a year from now American aviation plants would be turning out 900 military planes a month with a planned peak of 5000 a month in July, 1942. The present schedule called for 33,0O0 planes by April 1, 1942-19,000 for the U. s. and 14,000 for Britain.

 "One fact is outstanding. Every where we have found that the quail ity required in our products is all right. There has been no evidence of decline in quality despite this rapid expansion.

BY ARTHUR MENKEN United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Dover, Sept. 10.-UP)-German long range artillery emplaced on the French coast resumed smelling the over area early today, following bombardment last night in which British had returned the fire.
 A tour of the Dover area disclosed that very little damage had been done in last nights bombardment. Only four persons were killed and about six were wounded. A dozen houses were made uninhabitable.
 At one stage of the bombardment, when duel was on, it seemed that the German and British batteries were trying to locate each other.
 Experts estimated that tons of steel had peppered the French and British coasts in what reached the proportions of the first real trans channel artillery duel of the war.
 Meanwhile British planes were delivering one of the most violent of their air attacks on German gur supplements on the French coast During the British raids, however the German guns kept firing at in. tervals of approximately 10 minutes Six German Guns

 Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert

Intensity of the German air at- tacks on London decreased last night, the British estimating that not more than 150 enemy planes were over the capital. This decline is understandable, for not all Ger man pilots have received special training in night operations. There being only 6 limited number of avia- tors with sufficient skill to conduct operations safely in the dark, they must be allowed periods of rest be- tween raids.
 It is to be expected, therefore, that if the Germans plan to con- tinue bombing London for @ con- siderable period, the vigor of the attack will fiuctuate. The British night raids over Germany maintain e more consistent level. but that is because the British use much fewer planes than the Germans and so have more pilots, approximately, for their limited offensives.
 Great Britain allows the world to know the damage done by the Ger. Hlhllb1 0ut 4AAttgA ID A@eS esAaSAsAAeN to pressure by foreign correspond- entS.
