Showered on London,
Germans Declare
Great, Glowing Fire Sea
Left Raging in British
Capital, Command Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 9.-In what was de-
clared to be by far the mightiest
assault yet upon London. the Ger
man high command reported today
The Nazi Luftwaffe left a great,
glowing sea of fire" raging last night
in the besieged British capital.
The business section, government
buildings, oil storage tanks, grain
elevators and warehouses shared
equally In the attack, today's COM
munique asserted, adding that q
veritable hail of TOO tons of high
explosives and 100 tons of fire bombs
was loosed on the city.
Within two hours, 40 fires sent
flames licking skyward, the oficial
DNB news agency said returning
pilots reported.
Poplar and Bethnal Green, in East
London, were hardest hit, with en-
tire blocks of houses, grain elevators
and warehouses engulfed in flames,
DNB reported.
Terrific Fire Witnessed.
The returning pilots told of wit
Messing a terrific fire in Poplar,
apparently from a gasoline tank,
which they said soon spread to
others and formed one huge wall
of flames sweeping down whole ave-
nues to grain elevators and ware
houses. Blocks of collapsing houses
in Bethnal Green sent clouds Of
dust and smoke billowing upward,
they added.
Besides the major action against
London, the official announcement
| said other German bomber units
found time to attack cities on the
south coast and elsewhere with
extraordinary success" as DNB
put it.
German reconnaissance planes
| flying over the south coast after
dawn came back with reports Of
heavy destruction.
The news agency said the British
attempted attacks on various cities
in Western Germany Ito give the
appearance of embarking on coun-
ter-action" but that the chief result
was the shooting down of one Brit
ish long-range Bristol Blenheim
bomber and one Hampton Hereford
attacker.
Two British Bombers Downed.
Informed sources said the London
defenses almost collapsed during
the second part of the massed raid
on the British capital.
Two British bombers were re-
ported downed last night in the
Western Reich. where several per-
sons were killed.

command communique said. dropped
bombs at numerous places in West
ern Germany during the night. In

several other spots, residential dis
tricts were hit and some houses
were fired, nine civilians were killed,
II were severely wounded and "a
slightly wounded. No mill

targets in the Dusseldorf area,
the submarine base at Lorient,
France; enemy" airdromes and
shipping. and harbors along the
German,occupied coast during
the night)

So successful was the affair that
plans were established even during
the dinner to make II an annual
feature.
Bellarmine's leSe-40 basket
squad barely missed winning the
city title, being nosed out in the
last game OF a play-off by Sta
dunn hoopmen. The Bells. weary
from the constant grind OF several
successive games, lacked the nee
essary stamina to overhaul the
Tigers, although they gave their
customary and traditional last
ounce Of blood.
The team came up from
apparent hopeless position In
rs grand a comeback Tacoma
city competition has known.
They lost the title, but that
WAS all. They won the ever
lasting appreciation of the
city's basket fans.
Last nights affair was orig
mated by Doug Dyckman and
Attorney Andrew Bertha. Then.

prominent men of the city grasped
the idea eagerly. There were So
