London, Sept. 10.—(AP)—Wave after wave of German air invaders sent harried Londoners underground five times today, but up to early evening there had been no renewal of the devastating Nazi bombardments.
The fourth alarm wailed at 5:55 p. m. (11:55 a. m. c. s. t.) as the gathering dusk brought a new threat of deadly night-long raids which have kept this city's millions huddled in shelters each night since Saturday.
This alarm, like its predecessors of today, was comparatively brief, the all clear signal coming 31 minutes later. A fifth alarm sounded at 8:11 p. m. (2:11 p. m. e. s. t.)
The German planes over England today were believed to be scouts sent over to determine the havoc wrought in the preceding three nights of unprecedented attacks.
British fighter planes, however, were said to have turned them back.
Other Nazi planes were reported over Wales late today.
One flight of reconnaissance planes was fought off in a quick battle high above the city during the first alarm at noon time.
