AMERICAN AIR BASE
ESTABLISHED IN CHINA WITHIN 900 MILES OF OSAKA. FEROCIOUS JAPANESE RAID ON KISHUI. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 4. The Japanese have intensified their bombing of Kishui. The business area is reported to have been razed and 10,000 people rendered homeless. The Associated Press correspondent says this is an indication that the Japanese fear that Kishui might become a base for the bombing of Japan. The Americans have established a forward air base; in Kiangsi Province which is only 900 miles from Osaka, the big Japanese naval base. Flying Fortresses and Liberators could easily make the round flight from Kiangsi to Osaka. Today’s Chinese communique reports that fighting has again flared up in the Ichang sector. The Chinese retook Chuchiachuan village, killing 100 of the enemy.
