day] _1(‘l') - Lc linvrc, France's grcut ltarbor was blastcd Friday by Royal Air

Force bombers, seeking out at thclr source German concentra- tions for a possible attcmpt to lnvaric Britain.

Principal target :1l Le. iiavrc was enemy shipping, and at least one tanker and a supply shi were hit.

Igarly today watchers on the cliffs of Dover saw almost con- tinuous flashes of anti-aircraft fire on the Gciman occupied l-‘rrrtch coast where RJLF. fliers with heavy bombs probed for the German guns which have shelled the Dover area.

A pillar of flame shot high in the air, indicating a British missile had found a target, possibly an am- munition dump. The German lire upon the British planes was partic- u arly intense in the vicinity of Cap Gris Nez.

Although an sir ministry com- munication made no mcmtlon oi o British raid on Essen, great muni- tions centre in Germany, the Gcr- man communique acknowledged it had been raided. The German command claimed damage was minimum.

The Air Ministry told of raids on "key distribution centres" at Osnn- bruck. Hamm Schwerte, Ehrnng and Brussels.

Referring to the key points bomb- ed the Air Ministry said»-

"Troops, rescrvcs. equipment and supplies moving westwards to the channel ports from Germany must pass lhrruuth one or ihc other of torso key transportation points."

This explnlncd, in particular, the nightly bombing of Osnahruck and Hamm. two points mentioned in the Air Ministry's bulletins over s. per- lod of more than a month.
