That, of course, would be no solace
TO Japan.
The new announcement from i'm
perial headquarters made no refer
ence to claims previously broadcast
by the Toxic radio that nine at
tacking planes were shot down.
The Toxic radio was heard today
In San Francisco to say that the
| five prisoners of the bomber forced
down are being examined by Jap
anese authorities. The broadcast
added that their names land other
| matter" will be broadcast as soon
as the examination is completed.
| BY their latest official account, the
japanese appeared fairly convinced
! that the raiders were United States
medium bombers launched by three
warship-shielded aircraft carriers
from considerable distance east of
Japan with instructions to bomb
Toxic, Yokohama, Nagoya and Kobe
and then continue on to landings in
Free China
1t also appeared. from earlier re-
ports, that the venture was a great
success.
A similar enfilading of Germany
was suggested in the first days of
the European war by air experts who
held that Allied bombers might
shuttle back and forth, between
France and Poland, refueling and
reloading their racks at each ter
minus
Twice yesterday afraid alarms
put Central Japan, including i'm
perial Toxic itself, on the elert, each
time for about two hours-once in
darkness starting at am. and
again in daylight at pm.
These may have been precautions
against hostile planes, real or
imagined, or merely rehearsals.
The radio listener OF the London
Daily Mail quoted a Toxic broad
cast announcing that air observers
who failed to give timely warning
of Saturdays unwelcome visitors
would be court-martialled.
Berlin, whence has come reports
Of destruction in Japan on wider
scale than was acknowledged at
first, gave conflicting versions of
yesterdays alarms. One broadcast
said no enemy planes were sighted
but another said reconnaissance
planes and fighters crossed over
Toxic without dropping bombs.
Despite the official assertion that
raid damage was extremely light"
other Axis broadcaStS suggested that
industry and transport vital to the
war effort had suffered and that
there had been numerous casualties
THE japanese government" said
the Berlin radio yesterday, has
provided funds for the rebuilding
Of the factories and dwelling houses
and one cinema which were burned
down in the Toxic area"
This from one of Japan's own
Axis partners, was the first acknowl-
edgement of any industrial damage
in the heart of the enemy's war
effort-Tokio, the capital; Yoko-
hama and Kobe, two chief ports,
and Nagoya, big center of aircraft
production.
Nevertheless, despite official Japa-
nese assertions that the attack failed
and left Japan's war plant district
intact, Tokio's own broadcasts hinted
at extensive damage.
