An official headquarters state- ement, suggesting strongly that no major break-through had yet been achieved by the Nazis, said any favorable or unfavorable news of "sensational" import would be released immediately There was no "sensational" an nouncement this morning and headquarters clung to its policy of revealing less spectacular developments de-velopments 48 hours old.

Triple Air Raid Strikes Hankow BY GEORGE WANG United Press War Correspondent CHUNGKING. Dec. 21 U.R The triple force air raid on Hankow Han-kow Tuesday marked the beginning begin-ning of heavy aerial assaults on every Japanese target in China, MaJ. Gen. Robert McClure, chief of staff in the China theater, declared de-clared today. "The Hankow raid, carried out by aircraft of the 20th bomber command, the U. S. 14th air force and the Chinese-American wing, was the first co-ordinated mission kind in China," McClure said. "We hope to continue such raids and bring greater and greater concentrations of air power against every remunerative Japanese Japa-nese supply port on the mainland of China with a maximum tonnage ton-nage of bombs and the greatest number of planes which can be, obtained. McClure said "we are deeply distressed" that innocent people J must suffer from the bombings before the Japanese can be driven from Chinese soil. "The same techniques for pre-1 cision bombing which has been so successful in Europe are employed em-ployed by our air forces but the bombing can not be expected to be 100 per cent accurate all the time," he said. "In the past we dropped leaflets leaf-lets urging the people of occupied I China to stay are far away as possible from enemy installations. We shall continue to drop warnings warn-ings but military security makes it impossible to issue a warning before each raid."
