CITY OF DEAD
NAPLES UNDER ALLIED BOMBING MILAN PAPER’S DOLEFUL DESCRIPTION. “PALE PEOPLE TURNING FACES TO SKY” (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) BERNE, May 21. The Milan newspaper “Corriere Della Sera” describes Naples as a city of the dead. “Herded people, garbed in mourning, resemble a silent procession,” it says. “All one sees, mile after mile, is smashed buildings, paneless windows and darkened and burned frames. It is a voiceless city in which there are only pale people turning their faces to the sky.”
