First-Hand Account
OF London Bombinqs
Given Citizens
Dupont Circle Association
Told Raids Con Lost
Through the Night

An Englishman's advice to Wash
ington residents preparing fol
eventual air raids is that raids are
not always over in half an hour and
that when incendiary bombs begin
to fall. they can drop like hail
stones"
This warning came yesterday from
H. H. LIE Cheminant, assistant direc.
tor of the British Purchasing Com
mission here, who gave a first hand
account Of London's raids. He was
the principal speaker at the monthly
meeting of the Dupont Circle Cit
liens Association in the Mayflower
Hotel.
He also suggested that families
provide at least one completely
blacked room in the home so that
life might 60 on" and that some
member of the family become pro-
f1cient in first aid to take care of in
juries before the doctor arrives.
Some air raids go on all night, he
remarked, whether you have to get
to work the next day or not" He
added: IT'S not really uncom-
Portable under your dining room
table provided you have a mattress u
Thousands Of people in London slept
that way for weeks, he said, and
went to work each following day"
Mr.. LIE Cheminant said it was q
civic responsibility in England for
persons to extinguish incendiaries
that fell in their neighborhood. "A
person who doesn't dispose of in
cendiaries dropped on his place is
not doing his duty" He also sug-
gested that attics be cleared of &C.
emulation as incendiaries frequent
ly dropped through roofs and burned
there.
He said such bombs were more of
a nuisance value than actually dan
gerous to human life.
Discussing attempts at blackouts
here, Mr.. lie Chaminant said we
would have to make up our minds
of complete blackout sooner or
later" He added that our fire
engine sirens were confusing and
that when he first came to this
country and heard one, he ran for
shelter
Capt. William L. Clemens, director
of public relations for District civil
ian defense, reported that the local
warden system was going ahead
faster than we thought" but added
that the District was in need Of
more auxiliary firemen.
He said Fire Chief Stephen C.
Porter had informed the Commits
sioners he encountered difficulties in
getting the required number of
volunteers.

dent, presided in the absence Of

M. Luchaire warned that a VIC

He said there was a change of
attitude In Vichy which he at
tributed to q growing French

turned against Germany and to

"Mephistopheles" using Mar

More Bombings in Paris.

Attributed to Leahy Efforts.
M. Deaf charged that the Petain
regime had jollied along the Ger
mans until Britain grew stronger
and America entered the war. He
attributed this alleged change in
course largely to the efforts of Ad-
miral Leahy.
Admiral Leahy, M. Deaf said in a

Why all this sniping at high schools
