These daylight attacks followed a [ night-iong raid in which a large west 'end store was wrecked, a famous west end office structure damaged, a hospital hit, huge pieces of mason ary torn from a large bank building and considerable other damage done. The British Press Association de scribed the day's four raids, which came as Londoners were going to j work, as "murderous." The bombs were dropped from such | a height thai at '"irsi pedestrians thought the explosions were anti aircraft fire. Then pedestrians and bus passeng ers shouted and scrambeld for cover. Some were believed killed when the ' store fronts under which they flung themselves were crumpled. After the first attack the royal air force could be seen in action and soon at least 50 German planes appeared to be engaged, scattered all over the sky.

Simultaneously, the United States government advised American cit I izens in the far ea. I to return to this country because of the danger ous new crisis in the Pacific.
