 BE BOMBED AGAIN
Japan Will Continue to Smash Down, Whenever
 Weather Permits
(NEA Cahephoto)
BY ROBERT P. MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent

Shanghai, Dec. 2-(U.P9-Japan will continue to bomb the Burma road, China's lifeline supply route, whenever weather conditions permit, Colonel Kunio Akiyama, Japanese military spokesman in Shanghai, said today.
 At the same time 1t was learned that the Japanese were comman- deering all Japanese private ship ping in China coastal and interior waters for the movement of military supplies and troops. The present southward movement was described as too great for existing facilities, neceSSitating a communicating pro- gram similar to that which occur red in Japanese waters shortly after outbreak of the Russo German war.
 Akiyama said the air raids on the Burma road last week were in ac- cordance with deliberate, long Stand- ing policy and were not made be- cause of any change in the Pacific situation or in Japanese-American negotiations at Washington.
 He added that Japanese troops were taking precautions on the Indo- China side of the border, which is under Japanese occupation.
