 First Sclectman J. Edward Coef, prime mover for the zoning commiS. sion, predicted earlier that the or. dinance would, not affect the Bund camp. Later development of pro. test, however, was seen as c chief consideration of the commission when 1t undertook the forming of the ordinance and the placing of the Kettletown property of the Bund in the residential and farming zone overshadowed all other comment for the time being.

 Japan Eager to Apologize
 The dispatch with which the gov- ernment sent such an all-inclusive note was taken as evidence of it's eagerness to taket he first step to- ward settlement, while 1t awaited with apparent extreme anxiety the delivery of the American protest. On the occasion of similar incidents, notably British protests, there has been long delay pending official inc vestigation."
 The attacks on the American ships were coincident with attacks on four British gunboats and two British tugs. But 1t was evident that though Britain made no effort to conceal her anger, the Japanese were more anxious about the Amer ican incident.
 There was no mention of a report cd possibility that President Roose- welt might seek direct apology from Emperor Hirohito. Such an eventuality would be of the grav- est moment here because of the enl- peror's status as not head of gov- ernment but above the government,
 China Is Mere Shadow
 Just before the exchange of notes at the American embassy Prince Fumimaro Konoye, in statement of government policy, asserted that the Chinese government was a ''mere shadow" and that Japan must act to safeguard China's fu- ture administration and prosperity.
 This statement coincided with the proclamation ct Peiping of 0 'pro- visional government" to rule all China now occupied, or to be oc- cupied in the future, by the Japan csc. The proclamation, in turn, was issued after announcement that the Japanese had taken Nanking China's capital.
 Newspapers played up stories Of the premier's proclamation, and hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the fal lof Nanking. But stories about the grave Japanese American situation were confined principally to American reaction. This, however, was carefully pre- Sented. There was some sign of embarrassment ct the foreign office that the ofiicially arranged celebra- ton of Rankings fall should have come while officials were struggling with Q difficult diplomatic situa- ton.
 Japan Sympathetic
 Prince Konoye, in his statement-- approved by the cabinet at spe. ciil meeting which also approved the note to te United States-made no reference directly to the attacks on American and British warshlpS. He did take occasion to say that Jnpan was deeply sympathetic with foreigners whose lives and property were affected" by Japan's war in China. ut he continued resolutely:
 "rhe national reconstruction of China can succeed only on the basis Of friendly cooperation with Japan. Tho birth of 0 new China toward which Japan Is aiming will safe. yuard the interests of European and American peoples in the Far East.
 "The Chinese incident is Far Eastern tragedy. ut Japan must not evade her responsibility for 0 draS. tio operation which will prevent e recurrence of the trouble"
