VILLAGE BLITZED
(British. Official Wireless.) (Received May 12, 7 p.m.) RUGBY, May 11. For over half an hour last Monday afternoon a tiny Japanese-held village tn Manipur just south of Bishempur on the Imphal-Tiddem road became an inferno of steel and flame. The strategic air force was giving the biggest bombing display yet seen on the Imphal front. Liberators, Mitchells and fighter eseorirf took part, and the bombers went over in wave after wave, some straddling the target area from east to west and the others from north to south. Momentarily the village became lost to view, shrouded by the rifting and expanding pall of smoke.
