Washington, D. C., March Is, - Enemy aliens consisting mostly of Japanese - about 25,000 - have been moved inland from the Pacific coast. This enforced mass migra- ton is believed to be absolutely nec- essary as a counter measure to Jap anese espionage. The Military and Naval Intelligence Services and the FBI have long been conversant with the tactics employed by the Japa- nese Military Intelligence, which does not hesitate to use the most brutal methods to compel their own nationals and the men, women and children of other races as well, to act as saboteurs and to supply the information they need to carry on the war aqainst the United States.

lions of flimsy buildings, the big
port of Yokohama, the shipyards
center of Kobe and the factories OF
Nagoya were blasted by high ex-
plosives and incendiaries that start
ed fires, the Japanese said.
News of the attacks on enemy
nerve centers were reported for
the time being only by Radio Tokyo,
which said that nine planes were
shot down in the Saturday midday
raids and that the attackers swept
low enough at some points to ma
chine gun their targets.
The japanese air alarm lasted
from five to seven hours, according
to Axis broadcasts, and extended to
all principal parts of the main is
lands, but the Japanese apparently
were completely surprised and mys-
titled as to the bases from which
the planes came.
JAPS GO FISHING"
The enemy's efforts to learn some-
thing about the operations base took
the form of propaganda hroadcasts
suggesting falsely that the U. S.
aircraft carrier yorktown was used
and .that-according to Berlin-an
American carrier might have been
sunk off Japan.
The Tokyo report that machine
gun fire was directed at targets also
suggested that the planes were small
craft from a carrier rather than
long distance heavy bombers. Earlier
speculation that flying fortresses
had flown from bases in China,
however, was strongly discounted.
The fact that Washington. AUS
tralia, Chungking and other Allied
centers had nothing to say about
the raids raised a number of queS-
lions regarding the japanese prop
uganda reports. But there was little
inclination to doubt the funda-
mental facts as broadcast by To-
| kyo.

struck back TO the Japanese home

CARELESS of actual damage to the

1t was pointed out that the Tokyo
radio might be distorting the de-
tails of the attacks in an effort to

information, but if it is fact that
nine planes were downed. con-
siderable number of raiders must

WASHINGTON, April Is.
(UP)-The war shipping ad-

Admiral Emory S. Land admins
traitor announced today.
The announcement said the ac-
ticn affected several hundred yes

The government already has taken
title TO or is using rs per cent OF
u. S. freighter tonnage.
The war shipping administration
recently created by President Rose
welt, has taken over functions of
the maritime commission in direct
ing the operation of the American
merchant marine.
Under the requisiticning order,
the owners of vessels affected will
become agents of the war shipping
administrator, which will conduct
all future merchant marine opera

ton with the navy.
There has been criticism that
certain private ships were alleged
ly disregarding naval instructions in
submarine infested waters. How
ever, it was stated that this was
not connected with todays order.
1t was emphasized that the gov
eminent is not assuming ownership
of vessels affected by the order but
is taking possession" on a char
ter basis. with the owners to be paid
lat a reasonable rate"
An official said the action was
taken Ito give the government full
control ever these ships and to
place all shipping operations on a
uniform basis"
Under this new set-up the gov
eminent no longer will have to
negotiate with any ship operator, e"
he said. 1T will merely order these
ships to go where they are needed p"
The order affects "ocean-going"
vessels. Generally speaking, it does
not apply TO Great Lakes ships, al
though a few of them possibly can
be transferred to ocean service, it
was said
There was no official indication
that the requisitioning might be a
prelude to the naval operation of
the merchant marine, although
naval operation has been consid-
cred.
