Because Of extreme near-sight-

Raj Raid Devastated
300 Acres in Heart Of
Cologne, British Say
5000 Homes Destroyed
By Bombs and Fires,
Photographs Show
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 13-ApproXi-
mately 300 acres in the very CEN
ter of the ancient Rhineland city
of Cologne were devastated and $50
factories and workshops were de-
stroyed or seriously damaged in
the mammoth RAF raid May 30-3l.
the Air Ministry News Service an
nounced tonight.
The British radio in a German
language broadcast said 5000 homes
also were destroyed by bombs and
fires.
The report was the first detailed
ANALYSIS of reconnaissance photo
graphs and showed that the dam
age was "immeasurably greater
than any previously inflicted by
the Raj on a German city. A
week ago the Air Ministry said
that more than 5000 Of the $4,000
acres in the entire metropolitan
area of Cologne were devastated or
ruined by the raid.
In the German-language broad
cast the British radio was giving the
Germans a story of the raid which
has not been carried by the German
radio. While German reports have
said that the old city of Cologne
is gone. their report of the damage
nowhere approaches the British Of
fetal report. Further, Cologne news
papers giving fuller news of the
damage are not being circulated out
side the immediate area Of the city.
There was no Photographic evil
dence of damage to the Cologne
Cathedral but the news service
stated that damage to adjoining
buildings suggests that some minor
damage may have occurred"
One striking feature" of the raid,
it was said. was the damage to rail-
road communication which caused
serious if only temporary Interrupt
ton of traffic"
