China's war capital as a team for “Life” magazine with her famous author-playwright husband, Erskine Caldwell, Miss Bourke-White complied with a request from United China Relief, Inc. of New York and broadcast her impressions of Chungking and Free China from Chungking's International Broad- casting Station.
Said broadcaster Bourke-White: "The hardest thing to realise is the sheer number of people who have been made homeless by this, war. This war has put more people on the march, caused more shifts of population, caused more sheer -volume-of-misery-than-any-war-in-history.
