AIR RAID ON SHANGHAI
NATIONALISTS WRECK POWER PLANTS
(Rec. 11 p.m.) TAIPE (Formosa), Feb. 7. Fourteen Chinese Nationalist heavy bombers raided Shanghai to-day. The Nationalist Air Force credited them with destroying two power plants and damaging a third. The Air Force said that the Chapei and Nantao plants had been wrecked. It did not make it clear whether the third plant hit was the Americanowned Shanghai Power Company’s building. The Nationalists have been instructed not to damage American property. A spokesman for the Shanghai Power Company said in New York that he had received a cablegram from Shanghai indicating that a major unit of the company’s plant had been seriously damaged by direct bomb hits.
