LONDON, June 19-Germanys
rocket bomb assaults on Southern
England continued for the fifth
successive day as number Of the
robot planes zoomed across the coast
just after daybreak today. -
Intermittent activity was report
ed over the same area during the
night, with some resultant casualties
and damage, though the attacks did
not seem as heavy as the previous
might.
The element of newness attached
to Hitler's latest secret weapon"

Two Types of Robots.
Good visibility since the Germans
unveiled their weapon last Thurs
day has made 1t possible to pin
point the launching grounds-gen-
orally believed to be in the Pas-de-
Calais area. Increasingly heavier
Allied air attacks on this sector are
to be expected.
1t now appears the robots are two
types. The smaller has speed of
200 to 230 miles an hour, while the
other, with larger wing span, travels
perhaps 400 miles per hour and has
greater explosive power

casting concerning the panic"
caused by the rocket bombs in
England. London newspapers are
giving as much if not more space
to wild German propaganda stories
of the bombings as they do to
British reports.
Nazis Tone Down Claims.
Many persons here are still be-
wildered as to why Hitler waited
until now to use his robot planes
instead of launching them against
the gathering Allied invasion forces,
but Lord Strabolgi advanced this
theory:
The rocket plane installations
were set up on the Calais coast to
meet an expected invasion there.
The invasion in Normandy was
tactical surprise, so the pilotless
planes were used against South
ern England as last gamble to
panic civilians"
1t was noted that the Germans
had toned down their claims in the
last "a hours, perhaps fearful lest
their whooped-up propaganda con-
corning the effectiveness of the
robot planes might backfire. Propa-
ganda Minister Paul Joseph Goeb-
bells latest line was:
Our pilotless planes will not de-
eide the war, but they are rather
hard test for the Englishman S
nerves"

The Germans have strong perrin

undoubtedly Hitler's orders will be
to hold on to the last. There is no
chance for the German garrison to
escape, since the Allies control all
sea and air routes.
The German held Channel Islands,
which have many heavy guns, may
give the Allied western flank good
deal of trouble, but so far Ameri-
can and British battleships have
been able to deal with any coastal
defenses encountered. For exam
pie. the troublesome German battery
at Houlgate, east of Ouistreham at
the mouth of the Orne River, was
believed silenced by the British bat

While the Germans were ex-
