BY H. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent)


 Tokyo. Feb. H-UP) = Japan, faced by the threat of an imminent breakdown in French In- do-China peace negotiations, pre- pared today for an emergency evac- uation of it's citizens from Indo- China.
 It was understood that the foreign office had instructed Baron YaSu HayaShi, Consul General at Hanoi, Indo- China, to make immediate ar- engagements for the evacuation be- cause of the uncertainty over the peace negotiations.
 n ffesw was believed etec hare authority to start the evacuation at any time
 There was every indication that Japan had determined to force In- do-Cl1ina to accept its terms by this week end if possible and certainly before the expiration of the current truce March 2.
 The implication seemed to be that Japan was prepared to impose the peace by force if 1t could not do SO by diplomacy.
 Anxiety Increases
 National anxiety was increased when newspaper dispatches from Bangkok reported that a Chinese army of 20,0b0, backed by strong ar tillery and tank units, had crossed into the Shah area of British Bur- ma to fill the gap caused by theh dispatch of H llrmese endorsements to Singapore.
 The dispatahes said also that Chinese fifth collmnistS'' had ac- companied the arfny.

 Bombing
BY NED RUSSELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Feb. 27. - (UP)-BritlSh planes of the bomber, coastal and fighter commands rained bombs on the Cologne area of the German industrial Rhineland, the submarine base at Flushing, the invasion port of Boulogne and German airdrcmes in occupied France in a series of raids during the night, the air min istry said today.
 It was admitted that four bomb- ing planes failed to return.
 The ministry described the Co., logne raid as "very successful"
 Both explosive and incendiary bombs were used.
 Many heavy bombs were dropped on targets on both sides of the Rhine and large fires were started, the ministry asserted.
 The attack was a concentrated { one on the cologne area, # vas in- n;
 Iii the target zone on which the British planes centered their attack are factories, oil refineries, a net work of railroads, freight yards and the great Hohenzollern bridge across the Rhine, the main link between northern Germany and occupied ter ritory.
 Factories Are Hit
 There are also in the Cologne area armaments and munitions factories an aluminium factory, chemical works, power stations and inland docks, wharves and warehouses
 The British raid was of fairly heavy" intensity, aviation quarters said.
 It was the first raid on Germany's third city since December 31, and the 58th of the war.
 In addition to this raid, it was in- dicated that British planes made a fairly heavy attack during the night on the invasion ports.
 Watchers along the southeast coast saw great flashes over the mists which covered the Dover Strait, and the bursting of anti-air- craft shells and the beams of search lights.
 The biggest flashes seem to come from the Boulogne area.
 Yesterday afternoon British planes had made sweep over the invasion ports and bombed the Calais dock area.
