WRECKAGE IN BERLIN
EVERY WINDOW SMASHED SEVERAL PEOPLE KILLED CLEARING AWAY DEBRIS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 30, 12.35 p.m.) LONDON, August 29 The Berlin correspondent of the British United Press says that firemen this morning were still clearing away the debris resulting from the Royal Air Force raid. Every window within a radius of a quarter-mile was smashed in one quarter of the city. One bomb is believed to have killed six people who were standing in a doorway. It was the first time that bombs have fallen in Berlin proper. Tho Ministry of Propaganda hastily organised a tour of the city for neu-’ tral correspondents, who were not taken to the northern and northwestern areas. The Berlin correspondent of the American Press says newspapermen saw no damage at the Templehof aerodrome, the Klingenberg railway station, the Siemens works or the railway stations. It was impossible to visit all points of military interest in a two-hours’ rapid drive around Berlin, but no damage was seen except to pavements and dwellings.
