The bombs also started a fire in the área in the rear of the American Embassy.
Kiangpei, across the Kialing River from Chungking, also was struck by bombs, but there was evidently slight damage done.
Light bombs, probably 50-pounders. were largely used by the Japanese and therefore casualties were kept low.
United Press correspondents touring the bombed area after the raid saw very few casualties Foreign aviation circles told the United Press that the: Japanese bombers appeared to be both old-type and new Italian Savoia bombers, The new bombing planes, they sala, were evidently powered by Fiat engines. The Sying time between Wanhsien and Chungking was. -only twenty minutes today compared with the 40 minutes which the Japanese formerly used to take. in covering the same distance.
This indicated that new planes were used in the raids. the foreign aviation experts said.—United Press.
