A communique issued before the 7:58 p. m. alarm said: "Since dawn this morning cnitny activity was negligible until shortly before mid-day when a large force of enemy aircraft approached the coast north -of Dover.

They were promptly engaged by our fighters and anti-aircraft guns and only small formations were able to penetrate inland. These flew north to the Thames estuary where they were dispersed and driven off." The damage was slight, most of the bombs dropping in rural areas, although "some houses and a railway station were hit and a road temporarily blocked." The southeast coast during the night formed London's first line of anti-aircraft defense. Barrages on Cliffs Batteries on the high cliffs and promontories and dotting the inland reaches along the Thames put up the heaviest barrages of the war against the almost continuous waves of night raiders. 12 to 15 plane3 in each formation. Even so, about 500 planes of the German armada broke through to rake London, causing about 400 deaths and seriously injuring between 1.300 and 1,400 persons, according to official, preliminary estl mates.

In yesterday's first daylight as- sault the anti aircraft batteries brought down three planes. Brit-j ish fighting planes, swarming to1 the counter-attack, got four more, I it was announced. Three British! fighters were lost, but the pilot of one parachuted to safety. The attack caused a 51-minute alarm in Ijondon, starting at 12:29 p. m.

(7:22 a. EDT) but no planes were sighted. London at least found daylight respite yesterday morning to number her dead and maimed, measure the damage and quench the firos letL by the night-long German assault that rivaled the devastation of Warsaw and the raking of Chungking. In the greatest raid thus far on London, German bombers during baturday night turned this sprawling capital into an arena of havoc They raked both sides of the Thames with its docks and fac tories but splattering bombs fe! oeyonu me limits or strictly mili tary objectives. The Port of London Authority declared yesterday that despite tho battering "all services of the port will be maintained.

Military Damage Minimized British officialdom, declaring that about one fifth of the attacking planes, estimated at 500, either were shot down or disabled so as not to reach home, acknowledged the severity of the attack but asserted that the damage, "judged against the background of the war, is not serious." The major smashes were on th two banks of the Thames east of the, city, causing three "extensive" dock fires and a number of lesser blazes but, said a communique, in the latter phases the bombing "appeared to be indiscriminate." Bombs hit a utility plant, docks of the Port of London Authority among others, a tar refinery, two schools, a church and a chapel, and houses in various districts, as listed Markets M3 Thurston Rd. 365 E.

478 N. Goodman BLASTING OF 2 BRITISH BOATS Submarine Sinks Patrol Ship near Gibraltar Rome UP) Destruction of a British patrol boat and a British submarine in the Mediterranean were reported yesterday by the Italian high command. The patrol boat, according to the high command's communique, was sunk by an Italian submarine in the approaches of the Strait of Gibraltar. It was not identified. In an air attack on Malta, Bri tain's central Mediterranean naval base, Italian flyers reported a direct hit on a British submarine lying in drydock and considerable damage and fires in buildings of the Maltese arsenal.

British fighter planes engaged the Italians in battle, the com munique said, and two of the British were shot down and a third probably destroyed. The high com mand said Italy suffered no losses in the encounter. Farther east, in the Red Sea, the communique declared, a British convoy was attacked by Italian bombers who damaged one ship so badly it was abandoned. Another Italian bomber formation attacked the Port of Aden without losses. British fighters who tried to repel the attackers lost a plane, the nign commana saia.

It also reported a British air attack on Buna and said one native soldier was killed. (In Cairo it was learned that all but four of the complement of 148 aboard the British destroyer Hostile, sunk by a mine in the Mediterranean Aug. 23, had been saved by a British warship, and had returned to Alexandria. The four who died were sleeping in the section of the ship which collided with the mine.) MKAD ASKS U. S.

Two barrage balloons plummeted down in flames, apparently struck lightning. The streets of the great city were empty save for fire trucks and ambulances and an occasional night worker who had to walk to his job. Some managed to travel part way by subway. Trainmen quietly shepherded passengers in and out the care.

A bulletin declaring that threat invasion bv sea was offset tjv intensive British bombing of Channel ports Saturday night was issued by the Air Ministry news service. "Enemy threats of invasion by the sea were countered Saturday night by a series of air attacks on Channel ports during which extensive damage to shipping and har bor installations was inflicted by aircraft of the bomber command," said the bulletin. The noise of German raiding planes receded and the bombing apparently died down this morn ing some time after midnight. In the later stages of the raid the Germans seemed to be operating singly and in small groups, in con trast to their first mass swoop of last night. Reports indicated the raid spread over a wide area, but the British Press Association said there were relatively few casualties.

A nurses' home next to a hospital suffered a direct hit. RAF Dent ruction Sought Authoritative sources warned that the London raids merely were diversion from the German main purpose which Is to. destroy the British fighter force as a preliminary to invasion. Sirens wailed through the deepening shadows and bomb explosions were heard, followed almost im mediately by flashes of anti aircraft fire to the east, where the full fury of Saturday's mass assault fell on docks and nearby slum areas. Londoners, warned to air raid shelters by the alarm sounding at 7:58 p.

m. (2.58 n. m. EDT). braced themselves for another night of terror.

Apparently the twilight raiders broke through after stiff anti-air craft and fighter opposition in the Dover area had given London day light respite in a Sunday of comparative calm. Raiders also approached the city from the northwest, where a heavy barrage of anti-aircraft fire was thrown up like a picket fence Bursting shells flashed thickly in the darkening sky. A second wave of Nazi bombers approached the east London area abut three quarters of an hou after the warning sounded. Ttiat made three waves taking part in the raid thus far. Within a few seconds after the moan of warning sirens died away, violent anti-aircraft fire broke out In central London.

This was followed by the screech of scream bombs and the boom of explosions. An Air Ministry communique said that already eight enemy planes had been destroyed during the day and revised German looses Saturday, adding 11 more planes shot down, making the new total 99. Observers in the area where the hostile planes were flying overhead described the reception of antiaircraft fire as the heaviest since the great raids on London started. The attackers' reappearance was signaled only a few minutes it was reported here that Reichs-marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering had broadcast to the people that he was watching waves of German bombers taking off for England. It was the second raid warning of a Sabbath otherwise calm and peaceful after the great all-nignt raid that ended at dawn.

The daytime first warning lasted 51 minutes. In areas not blasted by Satur- LEATHER BRIEF CASES 195J25 by official reports and independent surveys. Outside London, on the lower Thames, an oil installation was set afire. There were two periods of dusk-to-dawn alarm in London. The first started shortly after 4 p.

m. and lasted 90 minutes in which thj riercest air battle of the war was fought from the Straits of Dover up the Thames estuary to London. The second alarm came at 8:3. p. m.

and was lifted eight hours and IS minutes later. The British called it a costly raid for the Germans, claiming that 9a invading planes were shot down. British losses were set at 22 fighter planes and of these the pilots of eight were said to be safe. As a result of the noontime at tempt by the German air force to follow up its London night attack new alarms were sounded here at p. m.

(7:29 a. EDT) and the all clear was given 51 minutes later. This first daylight alarm sent thousands of Londoners to shelters again, carrying the pillows, blankets and chairs on which they had sought comfort during the hours of night retreat from death and destruction. One road of the southest section was jammed with Sunday sightseers gazing at shattered homes when the sirens sounded. Five minutes later it was empty of all save police and firemen, Many fires were still burning in the London area.

They all had been localized, however, authorities said, with no danger of spreading. BRITISH CLAIM AIR SUCCESSES London LT) The British yester day chalked up successes on their own side of the air warfare ledger. Despite "poor visibility and vigorous defenses," the RAF Saturday night dealt the following blows, according to last night's Air Ministry announcement Hits at Calais, France, across from Dover, where bombs burst be tween the basin and the entrance to the harbor. Gun emplacements and searchlight batteries there also were bombed. Bombardment of the Colmar airdrome, in France, where a hangar was hit and aircraft set afire.

started by bombs at Boulogne, France. Direct hits on barges at Ostend, Belgium, and heavy attacks on barges at Dunkerque, France. Attacks on the Krupp works at Essen, war factories at Emden and Zweibrucken and the oil plant at Gelsenkirchen, all in Germany. Bomb explosions on rail depots at Mannehim, Ehrang and Hamra, Germany. Bomb-started fires in war ma-! terial stores in Germany's Black Forest.

JZO Woolwich Works Reported Hit In Raids Continued from Taife One The midnight wave of the heaviest type bombers with their car goes designed for sudden and wide spread death and destruction numbered about 35 planes. The "super-fleet" followed masses of other planes hurled against England on a scale equaling the great assaults against London Saturday night. Returning German flyers reported extenvve fires in London and that they "apparently had spread to some extent." In some, instances, they said, smoke from their own bomb-set fires obscured targets. Pillars of fire lighting the great target of London for many miles guided German bombers directly to their mission of destruction early today, the German authorities announced. Nazi Doom Harbor The raiders have been roaring away toward England since the early evening hours of Sunday, the Germans declared, bent on "continuing the work of destruction of the London harbor and industrial ection." Already, many British anti-aircraft butteries and searchlights huve been destroyed by direct bomb hit, the Nazis related.

Following up their night-long, crippling blows of Saturday en London and theBritish industrial heart, the Germans reported they bombed several large factories in southwest London, and a warehouse and railway station, starting at least two large fires. Few Air Fights Reported British fighters engaged the bombing squadrons and their escorts in scattered encounters, the Gfrmans announced, 12 British and four German planes being destroyed. Directed personally by Reich-marshal Herman Wilhelm Goering, the massed waves of German bombers were reported to have poured over the Brisith coast from bases in Denmark, France, Belgium, Holland and northwest Germany. Goering, speaking unexpectedly by radio, presumably from his headquarters with the air force, told the nation that a "terrfiic attack" was in progress against London and that the Fuehrer had entrusted him with attacking the "heart of the British Empire." "London will be blasted with millions of pounds of bombs as long us attacks of enemy pilots on non-military objectives in Germany continue," declared DNB, official German news agency. An authorized spokesman said Nazi flyers since morning had been repeating Saturday's attack on London massed, rolling assaults by every type of German bomber escorted by fighter and destroyer squadrons.

Defense Held Inadequate Dense smoke over the British capital was said to have hampered German aerial scouts hovering above the city since early morning. Great tongues of flnme occasionally hot through the veil, they re ported, indicating that fires started Saturday still were burning, and periodic explosions sometimes could be felt at 12,000 feet. Other German reports said the glare of the London fires could be seen during the night from he French Channel coast between Calais and Cherbourg. The relentless German attacks were cited by one Nazi military spokesman as proof that "England is not in a position to protect her capital." Yesterday, hours after the at tacks had tapered off, the German news agency reported that "new roassee of smoke roll ceaselessly out of London itself and have aid-den visibility in the city."

Other enemy planes were re ported over southeast and souih-west England, possibly heading for London. In the eastern sky over the capi tal low-flying clouds reflected a pink glow. At times the new moon shone through. After more than an hour and a half the raiders still were over tbe London area. It was apparent they were taking refuge in the clouds, dropping bombs seemingly indiscriminately from above them, while search lights kept poking their long, wh-te fingers into the ghostly, pale, cloud- banks.

From the roof of the Associated Press building German planes could be heard plainly droning high behind their covering of clouds. it was evident the Nazi airmen were using the smouldering fires from twilight and all- night raids to guide them. Their first objective was the place hit heaviest Saturday, London's dockyard. AH Hell' Breaks Loose There was a brief, ominous lull. Then all hell broke loose, as one observer put it.

The whole of London's anti-aircraft barrage seemed to be bang ing at the same time. There were whining, quivering reverberating blasts or dull crunches, depending on how close the bombs were falling. Livid flashes flicked across the clouds which hugged the city and hid the raiders. One circling German bomber was believed shot down while passing over the area bristling with anti-aircraft fire. The note of his distant motors was heard to break and searchlight beams picked up the plane as it apparently drifted slowly toward the horizon.

Then there was a dull blast that sounaea as it tne plane had ex-' ploded. Dive bombers roared down on the metropolitan area, dropped their loads and zoomed back to the) clouds at dizzy speed as their bombs crunched far below. Guns Kverywhere Fire Virtually all of London's anti-air- craft guns were going at once. I Preceding the dive bombers were others which flew high and unloaded rack after rack of bombs in screaming clusters on the Lon-I don area. A fire in the area, reflected by low-hanging clouds, cast its glow over the city.

As the anti-aircraft guns fired into the night there were flashes of lightning. Planes roared back and forth continuously, seemingly in greater! numbers than Saturday night when for Sale in life insurance we couldn't have brought security to a fraction of those who have it today.
