Oct. 8 (AP) Britain sent her famed balloon barrage aloft today dozens of sausage-like bags tied to 7,000 feet of steel cable In tended to enmesh enemy aircraft and tonight tried to count up the damage. Five balloons broke away from their moorings and trailed lines which lashed roofs, tore down wires and fences and generally gave bob bles their busiest afternoon since the European crisis ended. Despite the runaways, a source close to the air ministry said the barrage demonstration "Is regarded as a great success from the point of view of the auilllary air service." This service waa called up during the European crisis and was ordered Jemoblllzed at midnight tonight. One of Its duties Is the handling of the balloon barrage. One of the bags at Belvedere, Kent, tore away from Its mobile mooring and, trailing several hundred feet of cable, uprooted a garden fence; smashed windows; damage' roofs, brought down telephone wires, and became entangled In a railway line, holding up train service for 30 min utes. Another wrapped a cable around a factory water tower and caught Itself. Extra police, Including mounted officers, tried to keep the curious crowds from hsrm as the balloons with their trailing lines swung a destructive way around the countryside. The bags are about 88 feet long and have a circumference of 30 feet. Winches on trucks unwind their mooring cables to let them rise. The Idea is that they can be let into the air to form a "fence." high In the sky. In which enemy aircraft would become entangled If they pen etrated Britain's defending line of aircraft.

During the day they were required to enter and leave toe building by the back doors and base ment, and when they, met the su perior sophomores, they must needs . exclaim, "How do you do? X am (ao and ao giving name), rra a llttl greenhorn." to which the haughty sophomore would likely reply. "Ton didn't need to tell us. We already knew It."
