British Pound at Germans
Reply To Hit On St. Paul's Cathedral
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press News Editor
British bombers today smashed furiously at German objectives, hitting German destroyers at Breast habor and key arms and industrial plants in the Reich, in answer to redoubled German air attacks on London during which a direct hit was scored on ancient St. Paul's cathedral.
The war in the air raged furiously as tension in the Balkans and the Far East mounted.
The Royal Air Force swept over Germany almost until dawn this morning. Berlin had a respite as did, according to Nazi sources, Hamburg and Bremen.
But bombs smashed down on a dozen other No. 1 military objectives in the Reich. These included oil and munitions plants at Cologne, vital aluminum works at Grevenbroich, the huge Krupp arms plant at Essen, power facilities at Reinholz, freight and transport facilities at Gremberg, Cologne, Loeningshofen, Dusseldorf, Wesel, and Brussels.
German Destroyers Attacked
German destroyers assembled in the harbor of Brest on the invasion coast were attacked yesterday in a daylight excursion by planes of the British coastal command, the air ministry reported. Direct hits were scored.
The bombing of St. Paul's cathedral, saved from possible serious damage by a German time bomb only 10 days ago, was revealed today. It occurred some time during the furious attacks of the past three days.
The bomb hit the roof of the cathedral on the 90-foot stone arch just above the high altar and choir. It exploded on contact and hurled
a number of the great stone blocks of the arch down onto the altar, smashing it to bits. The main body of the cathedral suffered no harm. It appeared that only a few of the cathedral's priceless art treasures had been injured and that structural damage to the jewel of Sir Christopher Wren's architectural genius could be repaired without great difficulty.
German planes attacked London relentlessly last night but activity died away after an initial daylight raid shortly after dawn. Thirty one persons were feared killed when an emergency air raid shelter in a slum area was hit squarely. An ancient hotel was hit and a garage shelter was struck. There were no casualties in the garage shelter.
German raiders did not confine their attention to London. They scattered over all of Britain delivering heavy attacks on almost all important cities.
Rumania and Britain at Odds
Whatever the explanation British-Rumanian relations appeared to be at the breaking point. It was thought likely that Britain would sever relations and evacuate the embassy staff to Istanbul. Heavy German shipment of arms and munitions were said to be arriving in Rumania.
Official statement both from Germany and Rumania on the dispatch of German troops to Rumania were expected shortly. Both were expected to insist that the troops had gone there for training purposes and to carry out Germany's guarantee of Rumanian territorial integrity.
Rome and Berlin denied reports that Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel was taking charge of the offensive against Egypt. The war in the Middle East perked up with air attacks by both sides. The Italians raided Aden for the first time in some days and there was a small clash of border forces at Uar Deglo in British Kenya. The British bombed Tobruk in Libya and Assab, Keren, Buna, Decamere, Bura, and Mai Edega in East Africa.

In the Far East Americans hoped to obtain emergency trans-Pacific fare reductions in order to aid evacuation. The British consulate at Shanghai asked London whether Britishers there should be evacuated. Admiral Thomas C. Hart, chief of the U.S. Asiatic fleet, received an apology from the Japan-
