CHUNGKING, July 20 (P).-The
Chinese Catholic newspaper Social
Welfare today expressed the hope
that the bombing of Rome would
stimulate the italian people to wake
up and live for Italy and Roman

The paper urged that the Italians
heed the call of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill for an
honorable capitulation 1t regard
ed the bombing of Rome as fore
runner of the invasion of the Italian
mainland.
The Army Journal Sac Tang Pao,
said most of the italian people would
prefer to live for Italy and civiliza-

Throughout the world today there
is but one theme on the cry of
indignation. Rome has been bombed
by terror raiders, crooks and
gangsters."
II Popola di Roma was quoted
in another broadcast as declaring
"All Manhattan and its skyscrapers,
the whole of the United States and
its towns, factories and harbors can
not compare in beauty and tradi-
ton with the Basilica or San
Lorenzo"
Automobiles Modified.
The Berlin radio, broadcasting a
DNB dispatch from Rome, said that
leading personalities of the Vat
lean followed the raid from the
highest points of Vatican buildings
and observed with great sorrow the
widespread destruction and heavy
fires
The Rome radio said the Pope
suspended all but the most urgent
audiences for some days. but re-
ceived Cardinal Fossati of Turin,
who gave report on damage done
to churches in that town. The
broadcast said the Pope told the
cardinal that the bombing of Rome
was "one of the most painful trials
of his life.
Another German broadcast of a
DNB dispatch said Rome police had
ordered all automobiles put into use
evacuating civilians from the city
even though owners held no licenses
for the vehicles.
DNB also reported that pictures
of the damage appeared widely In
morning newspapers along with de-
tailed stories of the raid.
The Berlin radio reported that
the supreme commander of Italian
military police and his chief deputy
had been killed during the raid
They were identified in the broad
cast as a Gen. Hazon and a Col
Barenco.
