Southern English
Coast Hardest Hit
In Weekend Raids
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS

LONDON, Nov. 18. UP)-Ger-
man bombers early today centered
their principal attack on the south
coast Of England, striking at sew
eral towns despite adverse weather
conditions.
Throughout the night, raids were
made on many points in Britain.
Liverpool and the southern coastal
towns appeared hardest hit, al
though it was believed that wealth
er conditions had hampered oper-
ations of the Nazi raiders. Reports
indicated that the raids were net
particularly vigorous, although they
were prolonged.
London underwent a night-long
alarm. Bombs believed to be of the
very heaviest caliber caused some
of the biggest explosions yet seen
on London's outskirts early in the
raid.
Many long lulls punctuated the
raid on the capital, however, inter
rupted spasmodically by the drone
of raiders flying in formation and
terrific gunfire from antiaircraft
batteries which kept most of the
bombers above low-hanging clouds.
The all-clear sounded shortly af-
ter dawn and the morning passed
without another alarm. Shortly af
ter noon the sirens sounded again,
but the all-clear came within hall
an hour, no planes having appeared
over the London area. The raiders
were believed to have been turned
back near the coast.
