MOSCOW TAKES RAID NO. 2 WITHOUT A

THRILL

(By Reuter's Special Correspondent in Moscow)

THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL'S second aerial attack lacked novelty and thrill for Moscow's inhabitants although it came at the height of the great city's night life.

Earlier in the evening there was a short alarm without the appearance of enemy bombers, and while the sirens

were still whistling the second alert, A.A. guns opened fire and continued until dawn.

Russian fire-fighting methods are effective, judging from the small number of Ares lighted de- pite the great German effort, al- though the Soviet procedure is not always orthodox.

Many Russians

received

burne by recklessly grasping incendiaries in their bare hands. Already the Russians seem hardened to bombing, even wo- men and children being less hur- ried in finding shelter in the tube stations, where the current is dis- connected and smoking and rest rooms provided.

RUTHLESSLY SUPPRESSED

COMMENTING ON MOSCOW broadcasts in- citing French workers to strike and sabotage, the Zurich "National Zeitung" says widespread strike movements have been attempted among textile workers and coal miners in northern France.

The strikes, however, were instantly throttled by the occupation authorities who closed the food shops and prevented the sale of food to the strikers.

The Vichy authorities have a harder task to prevent strikes as

drastic measures.
