BIG BOMBERS IN
DAYLIGHT RAIDS
Scattered Attacks on All
Parts of England Do
Little Damage
By WALLACE CARROLL

(On1te0 Press StafI correspondent
London, Oct. 4.-(UP)-German
bombers, including big four motored
Warcraft without fighter escort,
dlyed through thick cloud formations
today in scattered but persistent at
tacks on London, Wales and other
detectives in Britain.
The attacks, taking full advantage
az the cloudy sky, followed q night
in which, for the first time in q
nights, not a bomb fell In the CEN
ira London area and not q casualty
was reported.
Renewing daylight attacks, the
Nad planes dumped explosives along
the Thames estuary, machine
gunned passenger train in Wales
and caused damage in the North
london area.
Two bombers attacked passenger
train in a Welsh district, dropping
incendiary bombs on either side of
the tracks and rafting machine gun
bullets on the coaches as the train
reared along q full speed.
Stopping at the next station, the
engineer found the train not seri-
ouly damaged and all the passengers
uninjured.
First reports on the rail indicated
that two bombs had fallen in the
eastern part of London, damaging
four houses. 1t was believed eight
persons were trapped in the debris.
Several German dive-bombers
swooped down on a southeast coast
town and scored a direct hit on
the front of a historic castle there.
The name Of the caste was not Civ
en-. Houses in two streets near
the castle were demolished and sew
eral casualties were reported, some
fatal. RescuerS already were at work
digging out survivors.
The raid on this town was said
to have been the worst of the war.
German planes were heard, in
visible above dense, low clouds, fly
ing up the Thames estuary toward
London for 20 minutes, at one min
ute intervals, at lunch time. Bomb
ing and gun fire were heard in the
distance but there was no firing and
nc bombs were dropped in the CEN
rrai part of the city.
Intensification of the anti-air-
craft bararge and other new meas
rres to combat German night raid
ing planes were partly responsible
for London's quietest night since
the raids started Sept. z. But big
factor also was foul weather which
also kept British bombing planes
from making attacks of steadily in
creasing intensity on Germany and
German-occupied territory.
For the first time, London had
two "all clear" signals between raids
during the night.
The first, before midnight, per-
mitted resumption Of normal traffic
for short while, but in the early
hours Of the morning traffic was
suspended again when raiders re-
appeared. When the Germans fin
ally called 1t a night, most people
remained in their shelters to finish
their sleep.
Though they did not bomb central
London. the Germans dropped bombs
ON % districts Of greater London
and IN the counties surrounding It
There were raids also on Wales and
northwest and southeast England
generally, but oil reports agreed that
the night was an unusually quiet
one.
The Joint colimunlque OF the air
and home security ministries on the
nights activities agreed that the
weather contributed 10 the fizzling
OF the German blItz.
