Pilotless Bombers Range Over South England One of German Secret Weapons Used in Raids on the Troop Mash ed British Islands London, June 16. (UP) Ger many hurled its boasted secret weapon against Britain last night and early today, sending swarms of pilotless bombers over southern Eng land in a continuous stream that began before midnight and continu ed on through the early daylight hours. Spitting fire from their tails like gigantic rockets, the fantastic mis siles whooshed across the channel coast within 30 feci of the roof tops singly and in small group. The roar of anti-aircraft batteries and the glare of thousands of searchlights alerted the whole south ern countryside through the night and official reports filtering into London said high explosives and incendiaries fell on scores of pt hits, causing damage and an unannounced number of casualties. It was the longest aid raid alarm England has undergone since the 1940-1941 blitz. Fire watchers saw and heard a raimber of the fantastic nazi planes, apparently rocket-propelled glider bombs launched from somewhere 011 the Pas de Calais coast of northern Fiance. 'One seemed to be flying very low and I thought it was going to crash into a row of houses nearby," a warden reported. "The search lights apparently were trying to hold it in their beams, but they did not succeed." Disclosure that the ?ia.'is were throwing in their long-heraldeti mystery weapon in a desperate ef lore to smash the huge allied mili tary power massed in Britain came in a staten.c-nt to lhe house of commons hy Hoine Secretary Herbert' Morrison. Morrison told the house that a lew of the pilot-;ss bombers were sent against England Tuesday morn ing and a large number last night and this morning. He warned that the attacks may be expected to continue even in daylight, although lit emphasized that couaterineasures were being taken to nullify this latest enemy threat. Prime Minister Winston Churchill forecast German use of pilctles planes or rockets last February, when he told cam mcus that the nazis were preparing :c launch some such attack from mystery installa tions on the Fiench coast. Again in March thj prime minis ter repeated his warning. auuing thai: "Britain can take it. She has never failed or flinched." Eyewitness accounts of the night attack on southern England said the raiders appeared over some points at intervals of approximately to 30 minutes. German Losses 70,000 Rome, June 13. (UP) Lt Gen. Mary "V. Clark, commander of the allied 5th army, said today that 70.000 Germans had been killed. captured or wounded during the current offensive in Italy.
