Chungking’s Worst Ordeal By Air
THUNDERSTORM SAVES INHABITANTS
Received Wednesday, 9.20 p.m. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.

The Japanese raids had gone on with only short intervals since Friday. Apparently the latest Japanese tactics are to keep Chungking constantly under alarm. The populace has been squeezed in bomb shelters for 22 of the 24 hours, and Chungking residents were nearing a state of collapse from fatigue and hunger.
