Enrique Robledo of the American consulate staff was driving toward the downtown area when he saw half a dozen balls of fire start down from one of the attacking planes. A moment later six incendiary bombs fell in the street in front of his car. He got out hurriedly, afraid the fire would reach his automobile, which he could not turn around in the nar- row street, The bombs sputtered out without causing any damage, however, al- though one house nearby was set afire. Two of the heaviest bombs fell on buildings across the street from the apartment of Hallett Johnson, coun- selor of the embassy. A smaller bomb hit a nearby build- ing rented to the Chilean Embassy for housing refugees. Two of the refugees were injured and a cow, outside, was killed. This bomb fell within & few feet of the Dutch Legation and barely 50 yards from the Mexican Embassy, only one street away from the United States Embassy. Heavy loss of life was feared among the civilian population of the capital. At least two bombs fell in streets where there were lines of women waiting to buy groceries. % o ESTABLISHED 1865 o i A New Year Means New Opportunities Remember the mistokes of 1936 by correcting them and avoiding their recurrence.
