Raids

Belgium, 80 miles northeast of Laon
Nazi fire raiders scattered incen-
diaries in some sections of London
before dawn today and some dam
age and small number of casualties
were announced.
A final assessment of lomprehen-
sive British reconnaissance rhoto-
graphs and intelligence reports OBJ
tained after the RAF mloaded near
ly $4,000 tons of explosives on Ber-
lin in Is heavy raids from Novem-
ber 18 to February is was said last
night to have disclosed "administra-
tive confusion throughout Germany
and German Europe"
An authoritative British analysis
said the Raj raiders had brought
an end to virtually all industrial ac-
tivity in Berlin, except for the south
east district, by the end of January
"No doubt portions of Berlin in
dustry have started up again since
January" an Raj commentator
said, ''but meanwhile important pro-
duction has been lost"
He added that there is still a
good deal to be done in the way OF
material destruction"-a clear indi-
cation that the American pinpoint
raids on Berlin are designed to mop
up the targets that Raj bombs
missed.
The British survey said that at
least 326 factories in Berlin have
been destroyed or damaged, five OF
them on Hitler's topmost priority
list.
