Tokyo Prepares
For Air Raid
BY UNITED PRESS

The Japanese expected a United
States bombing attack on Tokyo
during the past two days, the Nazi
Transocean news agency reported
Tuesday in dispatch recorded by
U. S. government monitors.
The dispatch said the japanese
government had taken ''precaution-
ary measures" during Monday and
Tuesday, (Tokyo time), prohibiting
open fires in Tokyo houses to pre-
vent cOnflagrations.'
The precautionary measures, the
dispatch continued, had given
Tokyo's inhabitants "the feeling
that they are now directly included
in the front area"
Asserting that Japan had been
awakened" by the presence of an
American fleet off the Mariana
islands the news agency said it was
now plain that Japan has entered
upon the decisive phase Of the
Pacific war"
Japan now realizes, it continued
that the American advance was mo
isolated enterprise in which, after
rapid thrust the attackers recOil
to their original positions, but that,
as 'Asahai' expressed it Tuesday
the United States fleet is Steaming
toward Japan as did the Russian
fleet 80 years ago.

that holds that Germany should be

be done with the Reich. Because
OF the newspapers influence in
