LONDON, November 17.
A leading member of the aircraft industry said that while it would be wrong to describe the damage to industry at Coventry as- negligible the interference to production would not be great and production should be practically normal shortly so far as armament work was concerned.
The buildings destroyed, in addition to the Cathedral and the Old Palace Yard, include baths, a library, two churches, five cinemas, two large hotels, a newspaper office, and seven stores.
The Regional Commissioner said that the municipal authorities and the population had taken up the work of restoring normality as speedily as possible. The Minister of National Security, Mr. Herbert Morrison, said: "I am proud of the way the Corporation behaved. It is a great tribute to the fine spirit of British local government."
