UNSUCCESSFUL HUNT
FOR AMERICAN AIR RAIDERS. CONDUCTED BY JAPANESE IN CHINA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) CHUNGKING, April 23. A Chinese spokesman declared today that recent Japanese bombing and reconnaissance flights in Eastern China had been prompted by a fear that airfields, particularly in the Chekiang and Kiangsi provinces, might be used as bases for attacks against Japan. ■ The spokesman said the Japanese admitted that they had failed to find any planes on any of the fields and added: “They are stupid, those Japanese.” An area around Kweilin is being searched for Japanese airmen who escaped from two planes shot down.
