No Bombs Dropped On City
During 3 Alarms Today
LONDON. (UP) — Royal Air Force fighters drove Ger-
man planes from the skies over London during three air raid
alarms today as the government assured Britons their food
supplies were undamaged by three nights of mass bombard-
ment.
Many buildings in the heart of the capital were damaged,
streets were piled with debris'in scattered sections and the
Ministry of Transport urged the public to avoid unnecessary
traveling because of temporary dislocation of some commu-
nications facilities in the London area.
But no bombs were dropped on London during the three
air alarms up to 6 p.m. (11 a.m. CST) and the German planes,
one of which was reported shot down, apparently were on
reconnaissance in cloudy skies.

Lord Woolton, Minister of Food,
said that supplies were not'endan-
gered, although sugar and flour
stores had suffered some damage,
and that "communcal feeding in
the east end (most severely bomb-
ed section) is working smoothly
and effectively.”
He appealed to food traders to
get stocks away from the docks
as soon as possible and urged re-
tail shopkeepers’to put food stuffs
out of the way of damage by bomb
splinters.
Prime Minister Winston Church-
11 again inspected themostse-
verely damaged parts of the city.
Counter-attacks by British
bombers on German bases contin-
ued with determined regularity al-
though an authoritative source
said that weather conditions dur-
ing the night hampered the Royal
Air Force.
British bombing attacks were
largely directed at possible bases
for invasion of the British Isles,
such as the French channel ports
which also- were fired on by big
British guns near Dover during
an exchange of artillery tire over
the channel.

The communique said Italian
airplanes again bombed the rail-

railroad buildings and one train

In East Africa the air force

The Italian. admitted that the
Royal Air Force had attacked

resulted in two dead and three

Texas should give its governor
