bombs are dropped repeately on Q small target area.
 It was the fourth British raid on Wilhelmshaven in eight days and there was every indication that the raids were on an unusually large scale.
 Last night, it was understood, the British long range bombers again concentrated on key military and naval objectives. Aviation quarters expressed conviction that the weight of metal rained on WilhelmShaven targets in the two most recent raids made it almost certain that 1t would be months before docks and ship building yards could be restored to full operation.
 Aviation quarters said also that the success of Wednesday nights raid might be gauged by the fact that a Berlin radio announcer said yesterday:
 Churchill should take notice that this will be revenged many fold by the German air force"
 Concentrated on Wilhelmshaven are part of the Royal Air Force plan to Shatter submarine bases. Weeks ago, the Royal Air Force quietly shifted its maximum atten- ton from invasion ports as such to submarine bases, including those at invasion ports.
 Some observers here were increas- ingly inclined to connect sharp decline in British shipping losses with British attacks on submarine bases, though admiralty officials always warn that over-optimism is not justified by isolated reports of declining losses because the U-boats attack in fleets and go home to get ready for another foray.
