BRITAIN REPORTS
 NAZIS ATTACKING
Continued from Page D

The fact that for many hours starting at 10 o'clock last night the skies had been almost clear of raid- ing planes was taken to mean only that the Germans were organizing for the next attack, one which would be a new high in frightfulness-the schrechlichheit which was the equiv alent of the blitzkrieg in the last war.
 Such lulls before, in attacks on Britain and other countries, had al- ways meant that the Nazis were pre- pairing a greater attack.
 Upset Calculations
 This time, however, Britons be- lieved that heavy losses the Ger mans had suffered in planes and crack aviators in attacks last week had somewhat upset their calcula- tions and forces 8 revision of the tactics by which, according to re- ports they had planned to conquer Britain and also the general belief that Adolf Hitler was preparing now to go the limit. But the be- lief seemed also only to have strength ened Britain resolution to press on to victory.
 Officials and ordinary persons seemed more and more confident that their air force would continue to break up any mass raids and shoot down large proportion of the raid- CTS, and that any attempt at an ac- tual invasion would be thrown back.
 After an unusually quiet night a long daylight raiding plane dropped IF bombs on a southeast England town this morning and fled with British fighter planes in pursuit. One person was wounded when German bombs were dropped in 8 southeast ern country district. A fleet of about 30 German planes was report ed to have crossed the east coast and later German planes were re- ported over the midlands.
 German planes dropped several bombs on one thickly peopled Mid- lands district.
 One German plane was reported shot down off the southeast coast.
 Liked Churchill Speech
 Newspapers in their comment on the House of Commons speech yes- terday of Prime Minister Winston Churchill emphasized his confident tone and especially noted his state- ment that tour offensive springs are being slowly compressed for the campaign of 1941 and 1942."
 Sir Archibald Sinclair, air nlini- ster, had told the Commons last night that the government was con- vsnced of the necessity of carrying the war first by air and sea, then by land, into enemy territory.
