Nationalists Bomb Shanghai Radio Tower Shanghai, China, July 3 (AP) Chinese Nationalist bombers today knocked down one of the six large radio towers at Shanghai's main transmitting station.

At least 25 bombs were dropped by three four-engined Liberators that circled at 2.000 feet from noon until about I p. m. The target area, about seven miles west of the city's center, was cordoned off by Communist authorities. Entry of ambulances indicated some casualties, but workers said there had been only one death. Damage did not appear to be extensive, five main towers, and a dozen smaller ones remaining intact Messages abroad, however, were transmitted from a downtown emergency station for a while.

IT WAS the second successive day of raids on Shanghai. Also, earlier in the day, a lone F-51 Mustang fighter dropped two small bombs near the Lunghwa airfield, southeast of the city. Meanwhile Jardine, Matheson one of the leading British shipping agents in China, announced that it had canceled scheduled Shanghai calls by five vessels. These included the steamer American Transport from San Francisco and the motorships British Prince from New York and Glenorchy, Glenearn and Brecon-shire from London.
