DOMINION STAFF IN LONDON

Prime Minister Sends Encouraging Message

(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received September 17, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 16. Mr Fraser’s message appreciating their steadfastness in the “air-blitz” has greatly encouraged the High Commissioner’s staff. The. bomb which caused the evacuation of New Zealand House on Thursday was discovered early in the morning. Mr Ricket, a young member of the staff, hastily collected the cyphers and secret codes and the entire staff next day worked at the New Zealand Forces Club, formerly an Italian building, thus returning the hospitality given to Rpt Lroclub, the club which had been evacuated the day previously, when a time-bomb fell opposite. The air liaison officer had a remarkable escape. As the result of a “hunch” he evacuated his wife and two children from his flat and slept next night in a shelter. He returned to the flat in the morning and found that the building had been demolished by a direct hit.
