It was understood, however, that 1t was made in some strength, on the basis of plans worked out since the first commando raid on Bou- logne April 21, and that Vice-Ad- miral Lord Louis Mountbatten, commando chief, took part in the planning before he left England. He arrived in Washington yesterday.
 While the raid was in progress, a German radio commentator was dee preciating in @ Berlin broadcast to England, the possibility of an Amer ican landing In France.
 'Rosenfeld (Roosevelt) has not yet got among his collaborators a man named Moses to divide the English Channel and enable the American Expediitonary Force to cross 1t dry" he said. "But since there are no miracles nowadays Rosenfeld has no other choice than to dig up ships for his AEF."
 Canadians For It
 It was made known today that Canadian army units in Britain had just completed 9 days of commando training lnaneuvers.
 One Canadian brigade which took part now uses the Churchill heavy tank.
 we consider the French coast our front line and the English Channel no mans line" the com- mander of this brigade said after the maneuvers.
 A combined operations headquar- ters communique reporting the safe return of the commandos with only slight casualties.
 "The naval and military force which participated in a minor rec onnaissance between Boulogne and Le Touquet in the early hours of today has now returned to England.
 "A small contingent of special service (commando) troops landed on the French coast, where they engaged the enemy and obtained valuable information.
 "Our troops suffered only slight casualties.
 "Fighter command planes sup ported the land and naval forces during the operation and provided protection throughout their return" !"
 The Evening Standard, 8 Beaver brook paper, said editorially of the commando raid:
 Tt was an invasion probe"
 It pointed out that undoubtedly the raid was intended to get some of the information necessary for the general staff in preparing any major invasion operation against the continent. Lord Beaverbrook advocates @ second front.

plosive and incendiary bombs on their initial raid. the communique said.
 The second visit, which followed six hours later, appeared to have been solely for the purpose of reconnaissance, the navy said.
 The first raid, the navy added, appeared to have been primarily designed to test defenses of the Alaskan base.
 The navy reiterated that casual ties in the first raid were light and damage was not extensive. The few fires which were started were extinguished quickly. In its third communique of the day yesterday, the navy had an- nounced that a recond raid was be- ing made by the Japanese. But as e result of later information, naval oflcial explained, 1t appears that the second visit by Japanese fliers was for reconnaissance. Apparens- ly they went back merely to see what they had accomplished on their first mission.
 Some officials said 1t was possible that the Japanese attack and sub- seQuent reconnaissance flight may be in preparation for future assaults l against the Aleutian island bastion.
