 British Planes Bombing
 London, Oct. 31-(UP)-Desptie unfavorable weather, Royal air force planes yesterday and last night ranged over Germany and German-occupied territory and in- flicted heavy damage, an air min- istry communique said today.
 The ministry said the RAF made a daylight raid on Cherbourg and shipping off the French coast and last night attacked docks at Antwerp and Flushing and heavily bombed the German naval baes at Emden.
 Describing the attack on Cher bourg, the ministry said "a dock side and buildings were hit and heavy salvo of bombs dropped among four E-boats (motor torpedo boats) 20 miles out at sea-"
 The ministry said one German plane was destroyed and one British plane failed to return from the raids.
 Although operations were re- stricted last night because of bad weather docks at Antwerp and Flushing were heavily bombed and the naval base at Emden was at tackled" the ministry's communi- que said.
 "A small force of coastal com- mand Blenheims last night struck at targets in Ostend harbor which had previously been attacked and since repaired by the enemy" the ministry said. Easy Identification of their objectives enabled the bombers to score direct hits freely on quoys, wharevs and shipping berths. Every second bomb burst was followed by heavy explosions and the crews coudl see debris benig thrown high into the air"

It is a fact, 1t was said here, that though Rome is not strictly an open city it is of no military tm- portance. Hence, it was suggested if the British public demanded that Rome be bombed in retaliation for Italian raids on London, the Royal Air Force probably would compro- mise by making intensified attacks on vital industrial and commercial targets in the Milan, Turin, Genoa Brindisi and Ostia areas.
 Dig for Bodies
 London, Oct. 31.-(UP)-Rescue workers dug for bodies today be- meath block of apartments de- molished by German bombs in raids last night. Miserable weather in London kept the capital compara- lively free of raiders today.
 Twenty-Five of block of 95 apartments were demolished during the overnight bombing but only about tWo-thirdS of the apartments were occupied. When the bomb struck, most of 150 tenants from occupied apartments were in base ment shelters.
 A number of victims, however were trapped when the bomb struck and several remained trapped late today after one body had been re- covered and two women, had been rescued alive.
 The day was marked by only sporadic gunfire against German planes, two of which appeared on the outskirts of London in the day causing an air raid alarm during which, however, no bombs were dropped.
 Casualties in dead and wounded were feared high in southeast town where a German plane, diving from low clouds to within a few hundred feet of the ground, dropped bombs into the streets. Shops and offices were wrecked.
 London was unusually quiet dur ing the night and morning. For some hours during the night not a gun was heard.
 Report On Night Raids
 An air and home security minis tries communique said that night raids were mianly confined to the Lonodn and southern area. A few bombs were dropped in the midlands
 "Most raids were made during the early part of the night" the com munique said. "The raids ceased some time before daylight. Attacks were not on a heavy scale, though houses were hit at several places Damage as a whole was slight and casualties were few"
 Nine German planes were shot down yesterday and five British planes were lost, the air ministry said. One of the five British pilots landed safe.
