The first German planes which
appeared over London by daylight
apparently sought to survey damage
left by the night raiders, but were
driven away by British fighters and
anti-aircraft guns. During sue
ceeding alarms Londoners heard re-
newed gunfire and the drone of
planes overhead. The four morn
ing daylight raids totaled s8 min
utes.
1t was disclosed that the famous
Lambeth Walk market place had
been struck three times in recent
raid. Two bombs fell in narrow
street behind the shopping center
and the third hit a shop in the
market place itself.
Londoners were kept in their shell
tiers for nine hours and 54 minutes
during the night until the all clear
signal at 6 am. The longest pre-
vious raid lasted nine hours and
40 minutes September 80.
AS in recent days, the bombers
gave the city little respite before
renewing the assault. After rest
period of only one hour and II
minutes, the first alarm today
sounded at 7:12 am, ending 20
minutes later. The second alarm
came at 8:l8 am. and lasted %
minutes.
Renewal of daylight raids marked
the start of the fourth month
of daily air attacks on Eng
land which official reports indicate
have caused almost $4,000 civilian
casualties, including at least 1888
deaths. The heaviest toll came in
the first Is days of September dur
ing which, Prime Minister Churchill
announced yesterday, 1000 civilians
were killed and 5000 injured.
Battle in 100 Mile Gale.

The Germans we're said to have
scattered hurriedly and fled for
safety.
Winds of such velocity are rare
over England. When encountered,
they may be found at varying alti-
tudes, but never at the ground level.
Bumps and pockets caused by such
winds make maneuvering of planes
extremely difficult.
At least II German planes were
shot down during the night and
three British planes were lost, the

 There are indications that some people are becoming afraid to speak out for fear of reprisals," he said. You sec what happened by the dropping of partisanship in Germany and Russia. Now above all times men and women must speak out freely what they think about the way the government Is conudcted in this country.
