SCREAMING BOMBS
London, To-day. Eight bombs of the "screaming" type were dropped in a south-east England town last night. Apart from demolishing the rear of a bungalow, little damage was done.
In view of the instructions pro- hibiting British ships and aircraft from approaching French Indo- China, Imperial Airways advise that their service to Bangkok is temporarily suspended.
This suspension will not affect in any way the main line flying- boat route between Sydney and Durban via Cairo.
