AIRMEN DECLARE BOMBED VESSELS SHOWED NO FLAGS But American Survivors Assert Panay Was Plainly Marked REPLY TO NOTE AWAITED Eye-Witness Says 12 Bombs Dropped; First Refugees Arrive in Shanghai (By the Associated Press) Japan, already having apologised and offered indemnity for war-like attacks on the United States gunboat Panay and three American-owned steamers, was prepared Wednesday to go “even further if necessary,” to meet the diplomatic emergency, government officials said. As an additional gesture of regret, it was said, a national salute to the American flag and military honors for the Americans killed Sunday in the Yangtze river incident were under con- sideration. The general public was deeply con- cerned. Japanese newspapers printed a long statement of the imperial headquar- ters, declaring the Japanese airmen had reported the vessels carried no flags and that “many soldiers, ap- parently Chinese, were sighted aboard them.” WOULD RAISE FUNDS TO DUPLICATE PANAY Tokyo, Dec. 15.—()—A writer in the letters-to-the-editor column of the newspaper Nichi Nichi Wed- peo) exact duplicate of the U. &. 8.

It was on that wider issue, respon< sible persons said, that a possible showdown might come in American- Japanese relations unless Japan agrees unconditionally to the United States’ terms for an amicable settlement. Most observers expressed the belied that nothing stronger than notee writing was indicated in the situat prince! diplomatic and congressional circles, ® majority of house members signed & petition to bring about a vote on s constitutional amendment requiring r referendum before the United States could declare war. The house probably will not consider the proposal before January. It would have to pass both house and senate by @ two-thirds vote and then be sub- mitted to the states, Thirty-six states would have to approve it. | Jim Marshall, Collier’s magazine Far Eastern correspondent and sur- vivor of the Panay bombing, arrived in Shanghai by airplane Wednesday from Wuhu, Yangtze river port to which he had made his way after the attack which destroyed the Panay and damaged three Standard Oil com- pany ships Sunday, bringing with him the first eye-witness account of the incidents. “The Japanese planes dropped 12 bombs ground the Panay and the 8 Oil vessels,” the writer re- lated. “The first bomb hit the forecastle. ‘When the ship began sinking the cap- tain ordered her abandoned.
