Most Murderous Defence Barrage of War Protects London Last Night, Today Indian Summer This Week Obtaining no Satisfaction from the government on the request that soliâ€" diers on leave be granted free transâ€" portation, the Town Council, which met formally on Friday, deferred discusâ€" sion on the matter for a week during which time the councillors will try to figure out another angle from which to approach the problem.

Few of the enemy planes succeeded in penetrating to inner London and most of the high explosives and incendiary bombs crashed down upon the suburbs. Shortly after midnight several high explosive and at least one oil incendiary bomib fell in central London and a fierce fire lit up the district for 30 minutes before it was extinguished. Now and then a lone raider would sail over London and the din of antiâ€" aircaft would become earâ€"splitting with shrapnel falling on roof tops like hail. During Sunday, it was officially statâ€" ed, seven German raiders were brought down, four of them bombers knocked out of the sky by antiâ€"aircraft defences, The British lost two fighter planes but pilots of both escaped. Bombs fell on parts of southeast England after a long day â€"of calm in London itself, Edinburgh and the Midlands were atâ€" tacked, The fierce barrage of the "archies" was intermittent and punctuated by long lulls but each time the Nazis tried to penetrate the defences of inner London the guns began to speak again. Observers, particularly in the southâ€" west area, said the barrage extended for miles across the sky and was greater than any ever witnessed before in Lonâ€" don in three weeks of siege. The most murderous antiâ€"aircraft barrage ever to challenge Hitler‘s raidâ€" ers filled the sky with angry sheets of flame last night and early today and turned squadron after squadron of Nazi bombers back from the heart of exâ€" plosionâ€"torn _ London. Smashing in from several directions in their twentyâ€" third night of attack the raiders enâ€" countered a wall of fiying steel on all sides as shells of every calibre ripped into the sky with thunderous roars.
