Chinese claims of aerial activity against Japanese transports and landing forces in the Bias Bay sector in South China were categorically denied by a Japanese naval spokesman in Shanghai yesterday. The spokesman asserted that Chinese air activity in eastern Kwangtung was "nil" since the Japanese landing.
Hourly reports of developments on the South China front did not mention the appearance of Chinese planes since October 12, the naval spokesman stated. Both Paiyun and Tienho aerodrome were vacant and Chinese matter.
Closing hours for air mail also have been changed. Registered mail will close at 5.30 p.m. and ordinary mail at 6 p.m. An air mail schedule be published every Sunday by the Yuhang Road post office.
