Paris, Cologne
Feel Fury Of
British Attack
Expended Power
OF Raj Revealed
In Heavy Blows

LONDON, April 6. (P)-More
than 800 Raj. bombers, an air
fleet approaching the record
number of more than 400 raiders
which attacked London less than
a year ago, smashed hard during
the night at the German arms
industry IN the Rhineland and
in the Paris area, it was reported
authoritatively today.
Cologne was sa Il to have been
one of the main targets of the
Raj. but British bombers also
attacked the Gnome-R h o n e
works at Gennevilliers, about
three miles from Paris, which
the British charged was making
aero-engine parts and other war
material for the hemy.
COLOGNE BATTERED
Indicative of the weight of the
attack, it was reported that more
than half of he 800 planes took
part in the bombing OF Cologne,
rsided for the 105th time.
British sources estimated that
the big Raj. bomber squadrons
unloaded about 1000 tons of
high explosives and many in
cendiaries in the raids which
spread from LIE Havre, on the
HccunicN French coast, to- the
Rhineland.
Scores of four-engined Stir
lings, each carrying eight to.,s
of bombs, were believed to have
taken part.
The loss of only five-less
than two per cent-of the air
armada, one of the heaviest
Raj. raiding fleets ever sent
out, was called very satisfac-
tory"
By contrast, the British lost
81 bombers last November in a
raid on Berlin of a similar heavy
scale.

participated was fully and quick
