THE BLITZ COMES
TO FLEET STREET
One of England's best-known columnists tells what it is like to be a reporter in London when it is raining bombs. This is the first 、of two articles; the second will appear to-
morrow.
IBy Ritchie Calder
When an. American publisher asked me to send him my war diary- as a journalist, I offered him my favourite suit; it is the only diary I have kept.
That streak of paint on the sleeve is the entry for September 3, 1939, when, after waiting inside Num- ber Ten, Downing Street, for the declaration of war, I dived into an over- new air raid shelter half an hour later at the sound of the first sirens,
That mend that never was quite invisible is a reminder of the return of the ragged legions from Dunkirk, And it is camouflaged with stains of mud and grease, each of which is a souvenir of some undignified flop in the gutter during the Battle of Britain.
For I am what is called "the new kind of War Corres- pondent."
The traditional kind still has to have his uni- form-peaked cap, officer's tunie, natty breeches and burnished riding boots-be- fore he can go off with a Bri- tish Expeditionary Force to some romantic battle-front. The "new kind." if he is wise, also has his uniform-his oldest suit in which, when he hears the whistle of a bomb, he can fling himself into the mud in some unromantic back- strect.
These mottle marks on the jucket are a shorthand more

some building caught alight. Then there was the thud of the heavy oil bombs, followed like a visible echo by the upsurge of flames. The explosion of high explosives made the fire- haze vibrate.

London stood out as clear as daylight against its own flames and,.as each plane flew in, hurried by the barrage, then tipped and turned, a helpless despair gripped, one, until the spotter casually remarked: "It's go- ing to be a warm night," just as he was accustomed to say, when his lofty porch was rocking with high explosives, "Bit noisy to-night."
A
Weanwhile I had to go down into the City. Only that private self with whom I conferred so urgently and so fervently, knows the reluct- ance, misgivings and honest. to-goodness wind-up I had to overcome before I ventured out, to break through the cordon of flaming buildings,
But what courage I lacked 1 quickly borrowed from the wardens and civilians whom I found scrambling into blaz- ing offices to drag out valu- ables or douch incendiaries.
Smoke blackened faces would suddenly become re- cognisable as fellow-news- papermen who had come out to lend a hand. And the auxiliary firemen, civilians turned fire-fighters, were singing as they manned the pumps or carcered with hoses up alleyways which were.. like furnace mouths.
During that night, I divided my time between the roof and telephoning a running commentary on the fires from my at high above Flect Street.
A street as narrow as a ditch separated it from the nores of raging flames. The room was as bright as day- light. I remember thinking
New
Kind
Of War Correspondent
Just then, as though a con- ductor had flicked his baton, the guns were curtly silenced, the overture finished. And the night was, for the mo- ment, shared between the foar of the bombers and the clangor of the fire-bells. Then, suddenly, like the tearing of calico, a new sound ripped the skies-our night fighters were on the job.
The incoming wave of Nazi 'planes met the impact. The
-cryptic-than-that-of-Samuel-fighters darted in and out of
Pepys. They record the sequel to his diary of the Great Fire of London. They are the scorches left by the Second Great Fire of London. A fiery confetti spattered it during my vigil on the roof, nine storeys high, in the heart of the flaming city.
If the moths do not com- plete the job of the blitz, I may be able to tell my grand- children: "See that scorch on the coat collar? That was the Middle Temple library. And that sear on the sleeve? That was Wren's church of St Bride's. And the con- stellation of singe marks? That was when the court where Dr Johnson once lived went up in a Bessemer-blast of sparks. Maybe it was his dictionary exploding into derivations... And that
What a night it was for journalists and for the news- papers themselves. For the "new kind of War Correspon- dent" does not go off to war; he waits for war to come to him.
And it comes most nights. The "new kind" includes everyone from the
editor downwards, because it is not even necessary to go outside. the office-most of Britain's great national newspapers have had bombs of some kind all to themselves.
On the night of the Fire- blitz, I went on the roof of the "Daily Herald" with the spotters. Goering's arson- squadrons flew in with the black-out, at an hour when, in peace-time, London's Sun- day bella would live been ringing for Evensong. In- stead there was the brmmm. brmmm of the enemy 'planes plying na regularly as street car service into the heart of London and the raucous answer of the anti- aircraft gung.
From that roof we watched the fire-bombs como hurtling
the smoke-roofs in a battle which raged over the heart of London. The bombers dropped their bombs sporadi- cally, like startled waitresses dropping trays of crockery. Then they turned tail and headed home.
"But the next wave will bring the high explosives." said the spotter grimly, look- ing down on the City of Lon- don ringed with. firea like a flaming target, into which, as at Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, and elsewhere, ench
successive wave would tip its load of destruction.
GRIN AND BEAR IT
of that grim moment in the Spanish War when our war- correspondent finished tole phoning his dispatch from Madrid and then remarked casually to his colleague in London:
"Well, goodbye, Cocky! I mayn't be telephon- ing again. The building is on fire."
And yet I forgot on the 'phone to mention that my fire Slack-reporting"-sṇid~' own block of flats had caught the Night Editor severely, when I confessed next day.
Several newspaper offices were put temporarily out of action that night. The "Daily Telegraph" was well alight and throughout the night and into the morning I watched of a newspaper. It was still them fighting for the survival snioking when I heard out- side my door the familiar flop.
And there were all the newspapers as usual-includ- ing the "Daily Telegraph." I had to look out of the win- dow again-yes, it was stil! smoking. Even 4 reporter has to marvel at the feats of his Press colleagues.
