The capitals mill lion-odd people, gazing anxiously at the sky, and attuned their ears for the dreaded sound of enemy planes. For many hours yesterday, those people who could nerve themselves to watch saw 8 spectacle of terrible beauty as Nationalists airplanes flew over the helpless city on what was believed to be but foretaste of what was to come unless the city surrendered-and it seemed to have no intention of doing SO.
 Ready To Raid
