NAZI PLANES
TERROR CAMPAIGN i AMBASSADOR’S STORY BOMBED 15 TIMES (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 25 The Paris correspondent of the Times states that Mr Anthony Drexel Biddle, United States Ambassador to Poland, who has arrived in Paris, said that in the latter stages of the struggle in Poland the whole action of the German aircraft, of which he estimated that 5000 were employed, was designed to terrorise the civilian population. At first, he said, the Nazis concentrated on bombing aerodromes, aircraft factories and military camps. Afterwards they swept over the whole country, working in two shifts. “It seemed impossible to get away from them,” the Ambassador added. “My own car, en route to the Rumanian frontier, in spite of a prominently painted ‘U.S.A.’ on the roof, was bombed 15 times and machine-gunned four times. “I was forced to take refuge in ditches by the roadside.”
