PATH CUT BY BOMBS.
RAH) ON BARCELONA
AFTER FIVE MONTHS'LULL
BARCELONA, January 1
Aftenfive months of immunity, Barcelona was bombed from the air three times today, 33 persons being killed and; 92 wounded.
The bombers cut a path 50 yards wide three miles long across the centre of the city. A prompt alarm by sirens enabled the crowds to escape from the streets where they were going home after the -New Year celebrations.
. A loyalist pursuit plane overtook a bomber, switched on its wing lights to indicate its position to the anti-air-craft guns, and chased its quarry till it was able to machine-gun the pilot and send the machine crashing in flames into the sea.
