100 Raiders Repulsed

Over 100 raiders tried to reach London in the first daylight attack yesterday, the Air and Home Ministries said, but they were driven back.

The Air Ministry announced last night that British bombers carried out extensive attacks over German occupied areas in Europe again on Sunday night.

The attacks were said to have included the bombing of railway junctions in Danzig, where the Soviet Foreign Commissar, M. Vyacheslav Molotov, was due to arrive today by train from Moscow en route to Berlin, Sunday night's R.A.F. raids on German industrial supply and communications centres extended from the Baltic Sea to the Bay of Biscay.
