V2'S ON LONDON
Have Not Dislocated Life In Capital WASTEFUL ENEMY EFFORT Rec. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, March 16. It can now be revealed that V 2 rocket bombs have been dropping on London since the first announcement of their operation. Although some of . the. casualties announced each month have occurred in the London area, there has been no dislocation of the capital's life, nor has the damage done justified the expenditure of time, materials, labour and money in sending over the weapon. Londoners go about their daily and nightly- routine often hearing explosions, but the attendances at cinemas and theatres have not declined, and the crowds at sporting events are bigger than ever since the outbreak. The crowds at football games, particularly cup matches, have reached almost pre-war figures. There was recently an attendance of 29,000 at one match, while another game four miles away had an attendance of 20,000.
