Japanese raids Have gone on with only short intervals since Friday. Apparently the latest Japanese tactics are to keep Chungking constantly under alarm. The populace had been squeezed in bomb shelters for 22 of the 24 hours. Chungking residents were nearing a state of collapse from fatigue and hunger.
