Damage is reported as follows. In the London area interruptions 
      were caused to electrical suburban services and a few streets 
      in the West End are temporarily closed. Dislocation of public 
      utility services was caused in three districts and services at 
      one telephone exchange are interrupted. The only damage to war 
      industry reported was a forty pump fire in a factory engaged 
      on aircraft work; the fire is under control and two-thirds of 
      the factory is safe. Casualties appear to be small although reports 
      are incomplete. Outside London bombs fell on the southern suburbs 
      of Manchester, in Liverpool and Bootle but no damage of military 
      importance was caused although some structural damage was done 
      to Messrs. Lever Bros., Port Sunlight, Cardiff and towns on Tyneside 
      were visited but there are no reports of serious damage from 
      these areas.
 
      The naval air station reported as being out of service yesterday 
      is again in use.
