TIP & RUN RAIDS
LATEST ENEMY EFFORTS IN BRITAIN. (Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, October 6. Tip and run raiders, taking advantage of low cloud, were active early today. Several crossed the coast heading for London, but were turned back by anti-aircraft fire before reaching the centre of the city. Bombs are reported to have been dropped in south-western and south-eastern districts. A few minutes before the first alert in the London area this morning, British fighters intercepted enemy planes over a north-west area. Single raiders were over the outskirts of London again in the afternoon. When a salvo of seven bombs was dropped in East London early this morning, one struck the tunnel of a public shelter in which many people had been sheltering all night. Three women and two men were killed.
