The bombing appeared to have been a reprisal raid following Nazi at tacks in southern France Satur- day. Explosive and incendiary bombs hit a factory near the Seine river and started a raging fire.
 One air raid warden said there were at least fifteen planes which dropped between 40 and 50 bombs. Soldiers immediately took over control of the bombed areas and squads of men were put to work to start repairs. Sev eral bombs landed near the house of the Duke and Duchess of Wind
