hit the German city of Duesseldorf with several hundred tons of high explosives and incendiary bombs last night during the fourth Allied aerial blow at the German war machine in twA nights and a day, it was announced today. "Preliminary reports of last night's raid on the Rhineland by Lancasters and Halifaxcs show several hundred tons of high explosives and Incendiary bombs were dropped on Duesseldorf in 20 minutes," an authoritative statement said. The air ministry had reported that aix bombers were missing from a heavy attack on industrial objectives in the Rhineland, which continued a cycle of raids featured by the first U. S. air force assault on the Reich and the first bombing of Copenhagen.

Duesseldorf, a center of transport and heavy industry in northwest Germany, is 160 miles southwest of the Wilhelmshaven naval base which, with Emden, was heavily pounded yesterday by United States heavy bombers. Germans Belittle I'. 8. Raid The German high command, in a communique broadcast from Berlin, sought to discount the effect of the American blows. It declared that "a daylight attempt under the cover of cloud to bomb targets at Helgoland bay were foiled by fighters and A.

Lancasters and Halifaxes each capable of carrying four two-ton blockbusters-were officially report- ed to have participated in blows against the Rhineland. Raid Called Heavy The ministry described thr, at- tack as "heavy." but did not indicate the actual number of planes partici pating.

Mr.

Reilly was at his New York residence, Mrs. Reilly was shopping in Highlands and the other three children, Paul, nine; Willis eight and Gorman, six, were in school. The cause of the blaze was not definitely established but Mr. Reilly said he believed it had its start in a chimney flue leading from a second floor fireplace in which a fire had been burning. It was young Jane who discovered the fire at about the same time that neighbors saw traces of smoke Issuing from second floor windows.

Mr. Reilly said he was told that the child was in the basement with, Lang and had made a trip to the upper floors. She returned to tell the cook that he had "better not go upstairs because it was full oi smoke." Meanwhile neighbors telephoned for aid and Mrs. Shaw took Jane into her home for safety.
