AUTUMN GALES IN CHANNEL
(Received September 18, 8.5 p.m.)
LONDON, 'September 17. Autumn gales are beating tonight against the cliffs of Dover. It is too early to estimate the effect of the sudden change in the weather upon Hitler’s invasion plans, but a considerable effect is certain* The wild winds and rough seas would make an attempt to tow barges across the Channel a hazardous operation. The gale would also make dangerous attempted landings by troop-carrying planes. There is no encouragement for Hitler in the huge seas crashing on the beaches and promenades of the south-east coast, where thousands of inhabitants of the battered towns are carrying on undaunted by the fiercest air raids.
