Bomb Blast Hits
Kings PoIoce in
Heart Of London

LONDON. Sept. Il. tUP)--A ESQ
pound delayed action bomb dropped
from a German war plane exploded
on the grounds OF Buckingham pal
ace early Tuesday, damaging King
Georges study and Queen Eliza
beth's drawing room.
Almost all of the windows on the
north side of the palace were shat
tered, 15-foot deep crater was
torn in the ground, 20 holes were
punched in the roof by shrapnel
and the swimming pool used BY
Processes Elizabeth and Margaret
Rose was wrecked.
The royal family was absent at the
time of the blast and there were
no casualties. The bomb exploded
about 100 a. m. on Tuesday. The
king and queen inspected the dam
age later ON Tuesday.
The household staff of footmen
shelters when the 25o-pound bomb
exploded. That, together with the
delay in the explosion, accounted
for the fact that there we're no cas-
ualties. The bomb fell near the
Belgian suite of the palace.
The palace, at the west end of
St James Park, originally was built
for Lord Goring during the reign
of james I. but was rebuilt after a
fire in 1874 and in 1903, the last
time by John Sheffield, the duke OF
buckingham There have been many
additions since then. The kings resi-
dence contains a priceless collection
of paintings and other treasures
IT has about 40 acres of gardens.
There was no serious structural
damage done to the palace but fly
ing glass and SCOT blown down
the chimneys marred the walls and
furniture of many rooms.
One side and part of the roof was
torn off a Grecian style building
housing the swimming pool.
A party of British and American
correspondents viewed the damage
this morning.
No harm had been done to the
gray stone facade of the palace in
front. where red coated guards once
performed the famous ceremony OF
changing the guard Many thous-
ands of American tourists had wit
messed that ceremony.
But once inside the gate on the
right, the correspondents saw tn
