(VP) Foreign diplomatic officials joined a general flight today from this bomb-wrecked Chinese capi tal, parts of which 'still were burning from Japanese air raids that caused an estimated 4000 to 5000 casualties.

The British Consulate and Embassy were moved from their badly damaged buildings to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Staffs of the German Embassy and Consulate, whose buildings were not damaged, took new quarters in the outskirts. NOT ACCEPTABLE Sir Robert Leslie Craigie, Brit ish Ambassador to Tokyo, in formed Renzo Sawada, assistant Secretary of Foreign Affairs, of the "gravity" of bombing of the British Consulate in Chungking and described as "entirely unacceptable" the Japa nese explanation that anti-air craft units were located near the consulate.
