Then, this forenoon, the RADIO sta

The British, from war CABINET to

Dalton, the minister for economic
warfare, called this obstruction OF
Hitler's power to make war;"
Dalton, in a speech, declared the
Raj had visited and bombed" 80

Last night there were two warn

and was followed by the intermit-
font rumble c. bombs and the high
cnuab of anti-aircraft fire, with
hills of several minutes in between.
If appeared that the raiders, fly
mo in small groups, first attacked
western. southwestern and south
prn suburbs and later penetrated
TO the central area.
Some Casualties"
Up to evening the London sirens
had screamed but once, and that
for a brief raid. Bombs fell in
east London and it was officially
announced that there were some
casualties" An industrial. build
Ing" was hit.
Most of the days damage, how
yer. appeared to have occurred IN
southeast England. At least two
towns in that area were bombed
and he fragments of Nazi explo-
gives fell over several districts.
The major, and unsuccessful,
DAYTIME German attack was
launched over Kent, through a
heavy mist and rain, by squadrons
Of warplanes. They met a bitter
anti-aircraft barrage, said British
accounts, faltered first in the fury
Of the ground fire and then plane
after plane fell away in retreat.
A single raider who returned at
the same point, flying above the
clouds, fled with II anti-aircraft
shells exploding about his machine.
London thus had a day more
nearly approaching one of peace
than at any time in two long and
weary weeks of assault-the long
est hull in IA days-but the people
had no faith that the night would
be the same.
Shelters Filled
Long before dark, the air raid
shelters were filling with the tired,
shuffling thousands, and they COM
peted for sleeping space in the
subway stations, some of them de-
~terminedly occupying the stations
as early as 2:30 in the afternoon.
It was the approach of another
weekend of a twin concern: the
raiders themselves and the fact
that despite the bleakness Of the
day the English Channel was calm
er than at any time in more than
a week and thus more h%ospitable
TO the invasion fleets" the Ger
mans have massed on the other
side.
