BOMBING VESUVIUS
Recd. 6 p.m. London, March 12. Mr. R. Purbrick, a Conservative M.P., wants the Minister of Air to arrange at the first opportunity “for a heavy bomb to be dropped down the crater of Mount Vesuvius in order to make a practical test whether the disturbances created thereby will cause severe earthquakes and eruptions.” After an earlier raid on Naples the Italians claimed that the R.A.F. had attempted to drop bombs down the crater of Mount Vesuvius.
