east end, the Germans claimed, wa ter works, gas works, and a great pumping station had been put out of commission.
 The London reports mentioned the bombing of public and mer- cantiie buildings" and said that two world famous museums were hit. Two hospitals and a nursing home were blasted as was a great public air raid shelter in the heart of the metropolis.
 Bombs fell in the center of Lon- don and in residential areas but the British attributed this to the | poor aim of the German airmen rather than deliberate attempt to terrorize and rage the city.
 One bomb fell outside the plant of metropolitan London newspa- per and others fell in the vicinity of fleet street, badly delaying news paper publication this morning. Another hit an embassy of a "Eu- ropean power" and there was ad- mitted damage to railway lines.
 Bombing last night was not so heavy as that of Saturday night but was said officially to have been just as destructive as the first attack.
 Super Bombs Used
 A German radio report claimed that "super-mobs" capable of wreaking destruction within 1640- foot radius had been employed but authorized German quarters denied this assertion, contending that with such bomb damage could not be confined to military targets"
 The death toll of Saturday nights raid was placed at 400. The in- jured were said to number 1900 or more. There was no official estim- ate on the number killed since then but the toll was said to have been smaller
 This morning the London stock exchange, the bank of England and the great fiscal and commercial in- stitutions of "the city"-London' Wall Street-opened for business as usual. But it was considered not able that the London censor passed reports indicating that the ques- tion of removal to emergency quar- ters had at least been mentioned. Berlin claimed that the attack would go on and on and on until Britain was beaten to the ground.
 Marshal Hermann Goering him. self was reported in northern France directing the attack. He issued a statement saying that at last had arrived the historic hour in which for the first time the Ger man Luftwaffe strikes at the heart of the enemy"
 The blitzkrieg made activity in other war or troubled areas appear puny by comparison. Rome asserted that the offensive on Brit ain had passed from the phase of armed reconnaissance" into that of mass bombing and that it would be followed by invasion. It was hinted that Italian planes are par ticipatlng in the attack.
 Gayda Says Long War
 Rome, Sept. 9.-(UP)-Virginio Gayda who often voices the views of Premier Benito Mussolini said to- day that Great Britain still was able to resist the axis attack and Sug- geSted that the war may be of long duration.
 '"The war;" he said, "can be long and difficult. England, whose em- pire is at stake, is rich and well sup piled. Therefore she can still offef resistance.
 "Ihe United States wants to pro- long the war because 8 long war would increase her exports to Eng land and thus the United States could obtain more British territory in payment.
 England also counts on more open and complete intervention by the United States in the war"
